Owners who mention the U7 keep it as a second or office screen that does the job there, while treating a step up to OLED as the next purchase for main viewing.

What keeps coming up
One owner with a houseful of Samsung and LG sets keeps the U7 running in an office, with no failure to report, and considers it good enough for that role. That is the closest thing to sustained praise in the accounts, and it comes from a single owner.
The same office owner would not use the U7 for main viewing, and another owner with the U7N is already shopping for an open-box LG OLED to replace it. Too few owners raised this to call it a clear complaint; it is where the thin accounts lean.
Once the U7 settles into a household, the accounts describe it as the secondary set: the office TV, the one that stays in place while the main room gets an OLED. The owner who keeps it in that role does not describe any complaint about it there, only that it is not the screen they would pick for the main room.
The adjustment owners describe is one of expectations rather than habits. The U7N owner is already weighing whether a demo-model LG G3 with heavy screen time or a lightly used C4 is a better next step, which says the U7 is being treated as a stepping stone rather than a long-term main display. Nobody in these accounts describes a specific picture or feature problem with daily use.
Reliability & repairs
The one owner who has kept a U7 alongside several Samsung and LG sets reports no issues with it. No owner in these accounts describes a U7 failing, developing screen faults, or needing service.
The long-term accounts here are very thin. Only two of the comments actually concern a Hisense U7 at all; the rest are owners of Samsung, LG, and TCL sets discussing their own TVs in the same threads. There is no multi-year U7 ownership account in this set, so how it holds up past the first year or two cannot be judged from what owners have said here.

What owners praise
Nothing with a clear majority yet. Owners who raised these subjects were split, or too few to judge.
Nothing has a clear majority against it yet. Counted from the owners who raised each subject, not from everyone. A subject is judged once at least 4 owners raise it.
20 more subjects came up from fewer than 4 owners each, which is not enough for a fair reading. To see how it stacks up, compare it with another machine.
Does it still kick?
The same owner, asked again at each point. Fills in as owners answer.
Own this one?
Two questions: how long you have had it, and anything you would
like to say about it. Then we ask again as it ages. This helps our
mission.
Still good used? What a used buyer should know, from owners a year or more in
Among the 0 owner accounts here that gave a duration, 0 described a failure.
Before you buy one used, ask the seller: how old it is, whether it was ever repaired and by whom, and whether any of the parts above have been replaced. Ask to see it run. A receipt tells you the warranty start date; most makers honour the term only for the first owner.
