radiator below tv.. nice :wink:

boxing50 has expired!!

yep stahndard one i use

Thanks. I mean on a standard fixture that I already have for a flat screen.

Yep I do :-)

could you hang this on the wall?

Omg, ordered. Thanks op. I hadn't even thought about this manufacture or curved tv was going for Sony android. But after seeing your post and others, completely changed my mind.
Does it have plex app and bluetooth, thanks.

PAYDAY50 gets you £50 off.

Do any of these tv's have a uhd tuner built in?

Has anyone managed to get the internal freesat to work?I can't work out the settings.

Just ordered the 55 inch from ao.com

When looking throught the ao site the other day I could have sworn the 65 inch was £1099 two days ago and now it's back up to £1600.

Here you go: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Hisense-LTDN65K720WTSEU-65-Inch-Curved-Smart/dp/B014KOKZUG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1453584001&sr=8-1&keywords=hisense+k720

The price has increased quite a bit.

If the display is not only 10 bit but also a Rec. 2020 (short for “ITU-R Recommendation BT.2020”) colourspace, and has a EOFT (Electro-optical Transfer Function) that complies with SMPTE ST 2084, then it could comply with HDR10 Media Profile, and there you are — HDR as we will know it. Note that Rec. 2020 has two possible resolutions — the 4K we see being sold in televisions today 3840 × 2160 and the future 8K resolution of 7680 × 4320 — either of which are strictly 16:9 and nothing else (ie, no digital cinema ratios or anything fancy to argue over whether it’s “proper” 4K or not).

Could someone share link to Amazon 65" as OP has stated? I can't seem to find it.

Thanks

I'm interested in this TV as an alternative to the much more pricey LG OLED TV's I had been considering.

I haven't pulled the plug yet for these reasons:
- There are some issues being reported in this Avforums thread - Folks are having trouble with the set displaying a 4K 50/60hz signal properly, for example. I believe a fix is promised in a future firmware update though. Some people are also complaining about lack of 1:1 4K pixel mapping when connected to a PC and there are a few isolated reports of poor uniformity and motion.
- I haven't seen a single professional review on the TV, so I don't really know how accurate the colours really are.
- Slight anxiety around long term reliability. I have absolutely know idea how good Hi-sense are in this regard.

It can be disabled, I personally prefer it enabled as it makes a big difference with blacks

It means Full Array Local Dimming, here is a description of local dimming where it works and where it doesn't >

http://www.rtings.com/tv/learn/what-is-local-dimming

"Conclusion
Unless it is a full array LED TV with a good implementation of local dimming, skip that feature. It does help with the blacks, but it can also create a blooming/halo effect. Local dimming is even less useful for edge-lit LED TVs (most of them), because it cannot dim targeted portions of the screen."

FALD is yet another buzz word in the audio visual world, one that sounds good on paper but isn't on many TVs. I'd read reviews of this TV if there are any that test FALD on this set, if it's no good then you want the option to disable it.

This or the SAMSUNG UE55JU6400 that's roughly same price. Never heard of Hisense to be honest

January30 gets ya £30 knocked off still

I have to say that compared to the Tv its replaced (A 50 Inch Samsung Plasma thats about 4 years old although it did cost £1500 at the time) the picture is terrible. I tried using the settings on Av Forums, and found the picture too dark for my taste.

HD channels are okay, but you can't seem to move them to replace the SD channels. SD channels look really bad, they are very soft with really bad colour. If I get chance I'll take pictures of my old Samsung and this one. My missues summed it up today when she came home from work, "Did you sort the new tv out", "Why love whats up", "The Picture was ****", "Ah yes petal, thats because it was on the SD channel, your used to the HD channel"

Tomorow will be a challenge of getting her to type 101 into the remote for the time being.

What I'm saying is, I bought this for the 4k side of things, and the curved tv's in currys suckered me in to the look. With 4k yes this tv works well, as it does with normal HD. But throw in the awful SD tuner, the lack of 4k Youtube, limited smart apps.Every thing is reliant on a firmware update that may never come (4k Youtube, amazon etc) I would avoid this for now. I suspect it will drop even more in price soon. I'm keeping it but its going in the back room.

Whilst not the fault of Hisense, and more logitech, this TV doesn't work well with the Harmony remotes. Its listed in the remotes list, but won't change Inputs with activities. It's only just been added with Logitech and will hopefully be looked at and fixed soon, but for now my Harmony's no use with this tv.

I had mine delivered this afternoon and compared to my previous 40" philips she is a monster,the wife hasnt seen it yet tho. Just setting it up,going to pinch a few settings from the avforums.

Yeah I've just found that out on the Av forums. Its not a major issue for me as it plays 4k fine of an external drive or Plex via DNLA

firmware update we hop will fix it, no other solution voia the TV as yet but many use a shield or the like instead

Mine came last night and its all good, my only niggle is getting 4k content on youtube, if you put picture info on in the settings then it shows 4k clips as only being 1280x720. I'm new to this 4k thing but surely thats not 4k. I can't see any settings to raise the resolution either.

doesn't seem to work anymore.

Can anyone with the TV tell me how wide it actually is, and the width of the stand? thanks a lot

edit: and also, what's the actual refresh rate of this. shows as SMR 400?

Thanks very much for that.
I like an explanation that I can understand :smiley:

An 8 bit panel is only capable of displaying around 16.8 million colours and has limited contrast bandwidth. FRC is Frame Rate Control, which helps enhance he colours. A 10 bit panel is capable of displaying around a billion colours and can display HDR ( High Dynamic Range). This 10-bit content can have more detail in the bright areas of the image and / or more details in the dark parts of the image. It can also have a greater range between the brightest and darkest parts of the image. It also makes the image appear more realistic. Basically you will get a far better image displayed on the TV with 10 bit and HDR. It's all very confusing as technology is moving so fast. Quantum dot is another technology that can be used in TVs as well.

I maybe completely wrong on this but that's my understanding of it after trying to work out which TV I should buy to replace my 6 year old Samsung.

!0 bit panel?
8 bit panel with FRC?
Also what is HDR please?

I have emailed Hisense about the specifications on the model and was informed that the 65" is a 10 bit panel and the 55" is an 8 bit panel (with FRC). I did ask about HDR and was informed that it may or may not appear on this model, no decision has been made yet. The 65XT910 will get HDR in February when the new firmware is released. For the money they are great value.

Bought mine yesterday, got £50.00 off with code NEWYEAR50.

Bought mine last night using code DECEMBER40 which gave £40 off,hopefully getting it delivered Thursday. C
After reading the avforums thread I'm really excited to get hold of it. Im upgrading from a 6year old 40inch Philips tv.

Discount Code BOXING50 does not work any more but TennerOff still works.

any reviews for this?

Ordered from AO.Com and it arrived yesterday. I'm very impressed with the TV, the picture quality is superb, particularly the HD and UHD, takes a little time to get the settings right, but once done its excellent. Id never heard of Hisense before but the quality of the TV for the money is phenomenal and I thoroughly recommend. Thanks to the OP for the heads up.

purchased on sunday and free next day delivery on bank holiday monday, great tv and spec for the money

Cool, thanks - I may have found a TV for the gaming room then :man:

For the young 'un, of course :smile:

Played xbone and ps4 for 2 hours this morning and was fine, I think they sorted lag out with the most recent firmware update

Got mine today and its superb. So pleased, paid less than £660 which is absurd for a screen like this. Absolutely blows the socks off of the Sony X85 series in all ways in my opinion, best black's I have seen since my panny plasma

Never herd of make, take it that its Chinese.

what makes you think it's full array local dimming?
their website only mentions local dimming. so most likely edge lit leds with local dimming than FALD.

radiator below tv.. nice :wink:

FALD, rather than FLAD.

Can anyone recommend a wall mount? Thanks

so tempted by this, nothing really wrong with my 8yr old Samsung 40inch TV, but would love an upgrade to a larger smart TV. can't believe the price of this.....

I ordered the Sony 55 inch lightening deal yesterday but have cancelled and ordered this. I like curved screens and the spec looks good. Thanks to OP for the heads up.

these are staggering price for FLAD would love to know how they compare to a high end brand considering they are a third of the price

Was seriously tempted by this,but really wanted passive 3d in the specs. Not bothered by the curved screen either,all the ones ive seen have a fair amount of screen glare. Hisense seem a great new alternative to the usual top players.

Not really a fan of curve screen, but don't mind to have it if don't need to pay for extra for it. I don't really mind about the specs too much either as long as a TV that is 4K and reliable, preferably with longer warranty period. Since most of the time I am just using to watch movie only.

Ordered heat added and got £11 ish back from TCB delivery tomorrow

Ordered good deal for me added heat thanks

Ordered the Sony 55" yesterday from Amazon Lightning deal. Really tempted to cancel the order and get this one.... But really not sure how reliable Hisense is...

Lg for me everytime: -)

Discount code worked for me. I'm sending back a Sony 49" 8307 that suffered awful light bleed in all corners and vertical banding on sports. The light bleed was the worse thing and I am hoping this FLAD display wont have that.

How are AO for customer service, anyone had to return anything?

Promo code comes up as invalid at the checkout. Looks like the BOXING50 code has expired.

both good - the sony is a great panel (awful software though - really..) but I'd choose the hisense all day long. Honest answer. plus it comes with a 2 year warranty

Thanks for that. I rarely if ever watch SD content. How would you rate the HD upscale capabilities between the two models?

Ordered the KD-55X8005C from Amazon on a lightning deal yesterday for £599 (see elsewhere in HUKD). I know this is a better TV on pen and paper, but comments from existing owners would be most welcome.

Also, how is the motion handling? Not interested in gaming (input lag not a problem for me) but sports and fast moving actions.

​the code has just worked for me! I really don't know whether to go for this or the LG 49" 4k 3d that's currently on offer at currys for £629

The Hisense website says no DLNA. Is that correct?

No link.
