The Hisense U7G and U8G ULED Premium Quantum Dot QLED Series Android 4K Smart TVs are compatible with the Variable Refresh Rate feature of the PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 5 Digital Edition game consoles. By using VRR you will be able to remove any stutters and screen tearing from games that aren’t able to run at a locked frame rate.
To find out how you can use this feature for your Hisense ULED television, you can take a look at this tutorial at Seeking Tech.
To start off, it should be noted that this guide will be covering the following television models:
- 55″ Hisense U7G ULED TV (55U7G)
- 65″ Hisense U7G ULED TV (65U7G)
- 75″ Hisense U7G ULED TV (75U7G)
- 55″ Hisense U8G ULED TV (55U8G)
- 65″ Hisense U8G ULED TV (65U8G)
1. If you haven’t done so already, make sure your U7G or U8G has been updated to the latest firmware. A new update may improve the performance and/or compatibility of using the Variable Refresh Rate on your television set for playing videogames from your PS5 console.
2. VRR was added to the PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 5 Digital Edition game consoles through a firmware update. Therefore, we recommend that you keep your system up-to-date as well.
3. Once you have both devices updated, use a HDMI 2.1 cable to connect your PS5 console to a HDMI 2.1 port of your Hisense U7G or U8G.
For the uninformed, your PS5 console should come with a HDMI 2.1 cable packed into the box.
If you are looking for a HDMI 2.1 cable, then you can take a look at this guide.
