5.0 out of 5 stars A budget option that does better than some suggest
Part of the fun of buying items like this is doing the research. If you let the echo chamber of negativity guide you, then this set is an abomination. AVOID!!!! It will implode upon arrival, inject your kids with a virus, and give your dog pink eye!!!Or you can balance expectations and take a breath. Currently, Hisense is in a race with TCL for bargain televisions with good features. It sits somewhere above Insignia and quite a bit lower than either Samsung or LG. Then again, it sits where it sits because it sells at a discount to those higher-tier brands (and whoever is buying Insignias, or even Vizios, needs to stop) with some noted QC issues (more on that later).This TV was replacing a five-year-old regular 4K LG 75 inch from Costco. It still works just fine, even if it is starting to show slight degradations in color. And I wanted a bigger TV with slightly better tech specs. OLED? Nah. I can’t afford that right now.My choice of this TV vs the comparable one from TCL came down to a coin toss, with the factual component being I didn’t need a higher brightness level and liked what this one offered anyways.It arrived well packaged. Set-up was a breeze. I already have a Google ecosystem in my house, so the GoogleTV baked-in was a plus. The basic design is, well, basic. And I appreciate that. I don’t buy a TV that wants to make its design features obtrusive. The bezel is fine. And I like that the back of the set doesn’t have that ‘pregnancy bump’ that some older and even newer sets have, given that I was mounting this on the wall. But I should mention: yes, this is a two-person job. The TV is north of 100lbs.I have had the TV for four days. Initial coloring was a garish mess. I mean, a trash fire of smudgy/blurred images, out of sync color saturation, and pixelation all over the place. Thing is, I knew that would be the case. So, I tinkered (again, I like doing the research). And my initial adjustments got things just about where I wanted them. But it was still a touch off. So, I went back online. First thing, regardless of whatever else you do, do this: adjust the brightness way, way down to somewhere in the region of 45-55. The improvement is instantly noticeable. If you are more engaged, do this: look up a Reddit post by a fellow named Darkness_Moulded. Use his suggestions for both HDR and Dolby Digital. Voila! This is what this TV was meant to do. No real sense of the ‘Soap Opera Effect’ (which, to be fair, some people really enjoy). Great contrast. Good, sometimes great, black levels. This guy should get an award of some kind.But this is a five-star review with reasonable caveats. Again, you are not going to get OLED quality pictures from this. You will also likely notice some lag and odd dumps with the home menu apps. The workaround is to use a Fire Stick, which seems to work much better. The settings menu takes a bit to figure out. And you are still going to get some pixelation and artifacts in certain instances. You also need to make sure that, if you are using Darkness_Moulded’s adjustments, that you set them specifically/individually for both HDR and Dolby Logic. Otherwise, your adjustments might cancel each other out and be applied to both. Trust me, the differences are slight; but there are differences. And they matter. Me? I made a couple of slight adjustments to his suggestions. But, again, great help!Now a couple of additional observations. First, as with any set, this TV will do the best it can with what it is given. In numerous tests, in both HDR and Dolby Digital Format, I noticed that the quality of the source matters. It always does. So, if you are watching a SD show and it looks horrid, guess what? It will look horrid on any LED set no matter what you do. Streaming will suffer when compared to a Blu-ray. This is akin to what happens when you listen to your favorite old tunes on a quality DAP: if it was recorded on a budget, you will hear that budget way more noticeably than you did on a crappy tape or a mid-rate, non-lossless player. Same rules apply to what you see on TVs. Second, as to other reviews. If it arrived damaged, that is on the shipping company with which Bolo contracts. So, your review should be about that company and not the TV. On the other hand, if you have a QC issue, that is on Hisense and Bolo and/or Hisense should make you whole. Then again, you and I both took a risk when we allowed a company to send us a TV (just as I did with my LG TV). And we are the ones that have to deal with the problems that sort of choice incurs. It is also the case that some of these reviews suggest a whiff of, well, what do you call it? I call it “wanting Cartier at the Dollar Store” or “Swap Meet Louie.” Rant all you want about the evils of Hisense. Go ahead. Do it. Feel better? I bet you do. But you still rolled the dice. So, who is responsible? You. And you can go buy an equivalent TCL set for a similar price. Or upgrade to the next notch in the Hisense lineup. Or spend a lot more money for a Samsung or LG. Heck, you could even buy a Vizio or an Insignia. Your choice, right?I am currently happy with this TV. Why? Because it works like I hoped it would and the compromises I expected were mitigated by the fact that I knew there were compromises going in. Now, if this thing explodes in the next month or year, I will provide an update. But I went in with a clear-eyed knowledge of what I was purchasing. For the price, you could do a lot worse.
5.0 out of 5 stars Best mid tier tv you can get
Let me start by saying that I would’ve never considered buying a Hisense TV as this has been a lower budget brand in the past. But man is this a nice TV. I got this on Black Friday and for being an OLED TV you won’t get a cheaper TV for the features that are included.I don’t do a lot of gaming and don’t watch a lot of TV but appreciate and value these features when I do so I am by no means a visual snob. This TV comes with four HDMI 2.0 ports and has a variable refresh rate of 144 hz. The blacks are very dark, great bright, and the colors are vibrant and crisp. The Google OS is responsive and easy to use coming from a Roku tv and now prefer the Google over the Roku. I have a nice sound bar, so can’t comment on the sound but upon initial set up it sounded pretty decent. According to rtings.com scored very high and was rated higher than the TCL TV I was looking at. If you’re looking for a TV that you don’t use all the time this is going to be your best option at a very reasonable price point.
4.0 out of 5 stars A Lot Of TV For The Money, BUT! (Update: 10/10/2024)
Now it doesn't want to turn on. It started all of a sudden 2 weeks ago. It will eventually, if you play with the remote for a long time, but it's getting worse. For awhile, I could hit the power button on the remote a few hours before I wanted to watch (it wouldn't turn on), and then later, when I turned it on to watch, it worked. I guess I get to find out how good their tech support and warranty support are. If it doesn't take the rest of my life, I'll try to leave another update after that. Minus one star for now.-------------------------------------------------------------------------For me, this TV was brought in a special Bolo delivery truck with two people in it. It was brought inside to the location of my choice.The bad news is the remote and the way they tried to get out of adding buttons. It's like a maze. I've gotten totally lost twice. All I wanted to do is watch my current favorite show. I think I've discovered that the "TV" is actually an app and it's in there with the inputs. It's like that throughout. It's almost like you have to print out the whole online manual and take it with you so you can refer to it when you want to watch TV. I HATE that it doesn't have a number keypad. You have to enter a channel number like on a Roku - going left and right to the number you want to enter and hitting OK. As far as I can tell, in the owner's manual, there isn't one picture of the remote. So, they give you an image of a key to hit that isn't even on the remote. Just... WHY?!?!? And even more puzzling: the remote is curved on the back. Most remotes aren't totally flat, but there's a section that's flat. This one is curved entirely and you HAVE to hold it with one finger so it doesn't roll OR you have to actually pick it up if you want to use it instead of just hitting a button on it wherever it's laying. Again... JUST WHY?!? I'd gladly pay even $50 more for a more usable remote. Worse than that, Hisense has so many models and so many different remotes, I don't dare buy one without trying it. I spent an hour or two looking through remotes. Fail. You need one that's infrared AND Bluetooth AND has a mic for voice control capability. So I called the tech support. The nice lady there was, as far as I could tell, clueless. It took a good 10 minutes of me trying to explain over and over that I wanted to know if a remote from one Hisense model would work on other Hisense models. After another half hour or so, ended up getting a link for an internet store that sells TV accessories. I HATE stuff that can't be solved. I'll probably have to go to Best Buy or something next time I'm out and pray there's someone there that really knows the Hisense models.Other than that, the TV is GREAT! There are suddenly two channels for the main channel. For example, there are two 10.1 channels and two channel 3.1 channels, etc. I'm assuming one of them is ATSC 3.0 (Next Gen) and one of them is ATSC 2. They show the same thing and they have different resolutions; one is mono and one is stereo. The BIG, BIG reason I bought this one is that it has an ATSC 3.0 tuner.I gritted my teeth and didn't knock it down a star for the remote because it's a really, REALLY good deal otherwise. The picture is REALLY good! The sound is very good - REALLY good for a flat panel TV. It has those four HDMI ports and two USB ports (one USB 3). I don't care about a lot of the other "features"; I didn't get a good antenna setup so I could pay some capitalistic greedy morons $30, $50, $100 a month or whatever, so I didn't even care that much, but you can watch a ton of stuff if you don't mind paying. All in all, not regrettable at all!One last thing: It was between this 65 inch U7 and a 55 inch U8. After some deliberation I got a 65 inch U7 instead of a 55 inch U8. As far as I could tell is that the maximum brightness on the U8 is 1500 and this one's only 1000. I couldn't really find any other differences. Trust me: It's bright enough!! If you're thinking like me, don't bother with a U8!!
