I didn’t expect this Hisense 144Hz gaming TV deal to exist before Black Friday

144Hz gaming TV deals are something I’ve been keeping an eye out for all year, but I honestly didn’t think we’d see anything like this Hisense offer before Black Friday. Not only has Amazon completely slashed the price of the manufacturer's 2023 65-inch mini LED model, but it also comes with a free copy of NBA 4K 24. I’ll be pretty surprised if better offers on this display pop up later this month, so it’s well worth checking out ahead of time.

Over at Amazon, the Hisense 65U7K is down from $1,049.99 to just $699.99 ahead of Black Friday, and it’s all thanks to an impressive 33% discount. Previous discounts tend to halt closer to $800, but this early Black Friday TV deal is gunning for lowest-ever price territory. As mentioned above, being able to claim a free copy of NBA 4K 24 for either PS5 or Xbox Series X/S really sweetens this deal, making it worth jumping on even if rivals chip a dollar or two extra off later on.

4K 144Hz is still a bit of a novelty when it comes to the best gaming TV options, but Hisense is actively attempting to burst the premium bubble. When higher refresh rate panels made their debut, you’d have to opt for vastly more expensive Samsung screens to gain access to elevated specs. Now, we’re seeing more financially approachable models that can make your living room PC gaming setup dreams a reality, and you don’t even have to settle for a traditional LED panel.

Save $350 - A 33% discount has knocked this speedy 144Hz Hisense TV well below $1,000 ahead of Black Friday, and the fact it comes with NBA 4K 24 means it's an even better deal than you'd think. You don't have to be into basketball to know that this is a slam dunk of an offer, especially since discounts normally fail to venture below $700.

I actually spent a significant chunk of time testing a similar screen for our Hisense U7K review, and I can’t stress enough how much of a difference 144Hz makes. If you’re used to using a gaming monitor, you’ll no doubt itch to head to your desk when diving into shooters. I’m not saying this TV will outpace specialist 240Hz screens, but it’s going to be night and day compared to a 60Hz panel. I even managed to feel the extra speed compared to 120Hz while playing Halo Infinite, just in case you’re wondering whether the benefits are marginal. 

Should you buy the Hisense U7K before Black Friday?

Considering this specific model is 65 inches, 144Hz, and is armed with a mini LED panel, it’s safe to say this is one of the strongest Black Friday gaming deals you’ll see ahead of November 24. Some rival retailers like Best Buy are seemingly avoiding discounts on this screen for now, which suggests they may follow suit closer to the big event. Either way, you’d probably end up still paying the same, so holding off probably won’t be that beneficial.

I’ve been messing around with PCs, video game consoles, and tech since before I could speak. Don’t get me wrong, I kickstarted my relationship with technology by jamming a Hot Wheels double-decker bus into my parent’s VCR, but we all have to start somewhere. I even somehow managed to become a walking, talking buyer’s guide at my teenage supermarket job, which helped me accept my career fate. So, rather than try to realise my musician dreams, or see out my University degree, I started running my own retro pop culture site and writing about video games and tech for the likes of TechRadar, The Daily Star, and the BBC before eventually ending up with a job covering graphics card shenanigans at PCGamesN. Now, I’m your friendly neighbourhood Hardware Editor at GamesRadar, and it’s my job to make sure you can kick butt in all your favourite games using the best gaming hardware, whether you’re a sucker for handhelds like the Steam Deck and Nintendo Switch or a hardcore gaming PC enthusiast.
