This may have been posted here before, but not at this price!
Seems like a lot of bang for your buck. Hisense seem to be quite a big brand, and think we are going to see a lot more of it in time.
Worth a punt?

Nothing wrong with Hisense TV's although sadly the name does sound like another cheapo Vestel special (which they aren't)

people usually wonder about input lag on Hisense and some of their latest firmware upgrades have supposedly reduced the high 100ms+ quite a bit. Only what i have read, cant find any actually evidence to prove it but owners certainly have noticed a fair sized improvement.

It says 9ms on Argos website, but I wouldn't trust their details.

I got the 58" from richers just after Christmas and I'm completely blown away by the picture. It really is a pleasure seeing real black instead of murky grey. But the picture takes a bit of tweaking to get it just right. I would recommend turning all digital processing off, change the viewing mode to standard and the back light down to about 12. Then just play about with the brightness, contrast and colour to get the picture you feel most comfortable with. Oh yeah, and get some 4k stuff to demo it. YouTube is a good start but be careful as a lot of material described as 4k is really only 1080p.

Out of interest are you sure YouTube is actually playing in 4K?
I have the 50EC315 model and this won't support VP9 (needed for YouTube) until March, and it sounded like all UK Hisense TV's won't support this until later on. If you didn't know you can check the resolution by going to YouTube settings and scrolling to 'video info' and turn this on. Then when playing any clip it displays the resolution.
I have used the free app 4K downloader to grab some YouTube clips and they do playback very well, although the best examples are actual 4K clips from the likes of Sony and LG where the bit rate is around 100mbps. These look really stunning, where as the YouTube clips and several others are around 20mbps. It seems to make a huge difference depending on bit rate.
Just curious if you really are getting 4K from Youtube, if you get a chance to check for sure would appreciate knowing.

i have this if its the K321 model , and i paid 420 from amazon.
Firstly the native youtube app is NOT 4K .The netflix app is 4k .Hooking up my pc to it for 4k youtube and games is a sight to behind. These guys use the same panels as samsung but with there own software on top and the picture in theatre mode (customised) is as good as anything this side of local dimming and nano cyrstal /oled sets.
