The product, explained
The Hisense E78Q is a QLED TV range. Verified UK models include 43-inch, 50-inch and 55-inch screen sizes.
The display resolution is 3840 x 2160 pixels. HDR support includes Dolby Vision, Filmmaker Mode, High Dynamic Range 10 (HDR10), High Dynamic Range 10+ (HDR10 Plus), Hybrid Log-Gamma (HLG). This 4K UHD pixel count is four times that of Full HD, providing the resolution needed to display compatible 4K programmes, films and games in their original pixel dimensions.
The specified refresh rate is 60 Hz. Smart TV features run on VIDAA. The number of HDMI inputs is 3. A 60Hz refresh specification corresponds to 60 display updates per second. It is separate from the response time and input lag measured in a review. The HDMI inputs allow separate source devices to stay connected, such as a games console, set-top box and streaming player. Check the individual port specifications for features such as eARC and high-refresh-rate gaming.
The number of USB 2.0 ports is 2. Wi-Fi support is recorded as Yes. Bluetooth support is recorded as Yes.
The Hisense E78Q catalogue includes 3 verified UK model options. The specifications below identify each model separately, while the COR Score combines critic ratings for the range.
Independent perspectives
Independent ratings, converted to the same five-point scale. Each card links to the original review.
This product is currently unrated. Available after 3 critic reviews
Independent reviews, made comparable
One consistent scale makes different publishers’ ratings easier to compare. The original review still tells you why a critic reached that verdict.
Read our scoring methodology →Scale conversion · example
An illustration of conversion, not this TV’s rating.
Identify the TV range and the version reviewed. Check the reviewed version alongside the specifications for your chosen size.
Convert usable ratings to five points, count each publisher once and give each critic equal weight.
Show the average to two decimal places after three distinct critics. Otherwise display tbd, keeping individual reviews visible.
Find the best fit by considering the score alongside the critic count, review dates, tested size and the strengths that matter to you. A range score brings together the included reviews; it is not a separate test of every screen size.

Your questions, answered
No scored critic reviews have been imported for this product yet. This means review coverage is missing; it does not mean the product received a poor review.
The COR Score is tbd. We publish a combined score only after at least three distinct critics have usable ratings. Any individual reviews already available remain visible.
The verified model options are 43-inch 43E78QTUK, 50-inch 50E78QTUK, 55-inch 55E78QTUK. Select the exact code in the specification section. A range review does not establish that each screen size was tested separately.
Match the complete UK model code, screen size, condition and included accessories. Check delivery, stock and the final total at the retailer. Search links help you find listings and are labelled separately from matched price offers.
Check the panel for your exact UK model. Dimensions, mounting points, accessories and other features can vary by size. Selecting a size also selects that model in the buying panel.
Native refresh rate describes the panel’s normal refresh specification. VRR lets the refresh rate follow a compatible game signal within a supported range. A quoted VRR maximum is not the native rate; check the source device, resolution and input together.
Use the width and height for your selected model, then check the stand footprint or VESA mounting pattern. Allow room for cables and ventilation using the manufacturer’s installation guidance.
Read the critic’s sound assessment first. A soundbar may suit a larger room or a preference for stronger bass and clearer dialogue. Check the TV and soundbar connection requirements, including eARC where supported.
The COR Score brings together reviews of the model range. Each card identifies the tested version where the publisher provides it. Use size-specific findings alongside the specification panel for the model you intend to buy.
Use the comparison table and TV buying guides on this page, or browse the TV category and brand directory. Compare review evidence, the features you will use and available prices together.
