I have this exact tv, got it a few months ago and I mostly use it for Netflix (4k goodness) and also run my gaming PC through it (980ti) for a 4k desktop, it works like a 4 x 25" x 1080p monitor setup, it's really good. I'd highly recommend it as a TV to use for inputs; PCs, Consoles etc. as the input lag is low in Gaming mode and it supports 4k 60Hz and 1080p 120Hz (good for FPS and general smooth gaming). However the smart functions are pretty poor (compared to competitors), the games and apps are akin to what comes on a knockoff iPhone and casting functions are limited, the speakers are quite good though and the panel is very good.

In short, to run a PC through or console or Amazon Fire box (4k one), YES.
As a standalone Smart TV for a living room, probably not, unless you only watch Youtube, iPlayer and Netflix. I'd recommend an Android TV instead.

P.S. No Youtube 4k on this TV

Well I got one I the end. Response time is ok. I'm still working out the picture settings. But it is an odd tv sometimes top notch...4k YouTube looked very nice via tv ...via play station it was stuttering maybe because of settings over all I'll give it an 8 but only because it's cheap. There's definitely a vignette and viewing angles are not great but I guess that's this type of screen for you...bit like one of my monitors. Definitely not as good as my old plasma in some ways but that cost twice as much. But as I say in some situations it's amazing. Not pumped any top rez 4k stuff out yet...manual is awful tells me nothing about specs. It does have hdcp 2.2 on two 2.0 hdmis apparently but only says hdmi 2 @ 60Hz in manual....Not tested this...

Do your research too... depends on your viewing distance.

Under the specifications section it has a cross next to HDR, where does it say that it's HDR.

I read on a forum someone saying that the box even says its HDR, one second..I will find the link for ya.

55 inch model but I assume the specs are the same.

That would make this TV roughly 50% cheaper than other HDR tvs, unless I'm wrong in assuming that HDR tvs are around 800 -900 for an entry level hdr TV ... sounds a bit too good to be true, hope it is though

This is a bargain kids

HDR from external sources only.

If it has HDR then this is a bargain but I would still go for the 55 inch model because for 4K to be more noticeable you need a 55inch tv

Cant find pics of the rear of this tv...

50" in 8k would be the ultimate computer monitor. Both big and retina. Maybe in a few years time...

2 inch smaller and £50 more expensive but a better set imo. - http://www.richersounds.com/product/tv---all/samsung/ue48ju6400/sams-ue48ju6400 - I have one and I'm now selling my Panny plasma.

7" larger for an extra £50 http://m.richersounds.com/#!/product/HISE-55M3300 and so on...

Is the picture better than your Panasonic plasma ?

Are richer sounds any good? Never used them...

All they have to do is now is price match ao on the 58" then.

What makes it a better set IYO?

No - I don't think it is - It's a compromise for me as have kids who want to game on it and I'm not having that on a plasma. That said - it's the best led set I've had but can still see the un-uniform background - light leaks etc.

Brand support - Samsung vs Hisense - apps etc - compatibility with phone apps.

They would work better together on a larger screen.

Can you get 1080p HDR?

Yes. But my point is that HDR would be worth getting a smaller 4k TV for, even if it wasn't noticeable at 4k....
Of course I meant, No! :smiley:

Still none the wiser! 8-)

Do your research guys, it's a well known fact that to get the full effect of a 4K tv, it has to be a minimum of 55 inches. HDR is for contrast and colour, 4K is for pixels so they work well together and they work best with 55 inches and above.

I am waiting for ultra hd premium certified tv's to come back down in price before making my purchase.
Have installed sky q and I am told in August will be able to watch in 4K.

Very true. I sit 3 feet from mine when using it as a (gaming/video editing) desktop and the 4k is immense as you can still use it perfectly, text is very sharp and you can resize windows to your field of view. I sit around 15 feet away for TV viewing, I'd say 4k is still definitely noticeable, it's hard to prove with numbers though.

When you go to the cinema what is your viewing distance and how many inches is the screen.

Next you'll be telling us we need 40 inch phones to make use of fhd screens :wink:

Back onto this tv... Can anyone comment on its gaming lag?
And Netflix 4k,
Also, if anyone has it, BT 4k?
How many 4k capable inputs does it have?

I would buy a smaller 4k TV, because it has HDR
and no worry too much about the 50/55 inch rule of worth for 4k TVs

OK, understood. Still don't quite see how this equates to your original comment 8-)

Maybe the way I worded it.
"If it has HDR i'd be less bothered about 4k."
If it has HDR i'd be less aowrried about the supposed required screen size for 4k - i.e. don't matter if it's 4k s long as it's got HDR :smiley:

Try and find an HDR tv with no 4K.

Any owners here? Any comments on gaming?

Just come across this same model on amazon now for £399.99. Even more of a steal, although you do lose the 6 year guarantee.

just noticed when you add to basket, £76.00 for 5 years breakdown and accidental cover.
still better deal with richer sounds then

So we got one guy saying low input lag anyone else? No offence but they could be hi sense employee with a two or so posts in a recent account!

Very strange I can't find any manual or web page referencing this set some people seem to think it's a re hash of a model maybe the 7 series. Odd! Here is a quote from one of the Amazon reviews all of which appear to be for the 65 inch model : "From a picture and sound point of view, this 65" K720 is absolutely brilliant." :s

Also that Amazon link you posted is also a bit odd. It says hdmi 2.0 but this set is supposed to be hdcp 2.2 (what you need for all the new 4k blu ray players sky q you view 4k etc....). :s I guess it just didn't say?

How far off centre before picture starts to drop off, and by how much?

This or the sony tesco tv deal at £449 - http://www.tesco.com/direct/sony-kd49x8005cbu-49-inch-android-smart-wifi-built-in-ultra-hd-4k-led-tv-with-freeview-hd/711-3918.prd?pageLevel=&skuId=711-3918

soooo confusing

Go for the Sony, you don't want to buy some unknown make over Sony.

After speaking with Hisense this week, I'm to understand that this model will get a software update for full HDR support later this year.
For now HDR will work when watching something through USB.
Also this will be a 8 bit panel for those who are keen to know but the 40" version is a 10 bit panel.

Chaps the Hisense TV is a 2016 model and I've read in the thread there will be a June 2016 model. The guarantee is 6 years. Most of the reviews of this brand are positive some negative. One thing being the Apps are not good!!

All the established branded TV's cost more and are older models. Some come with only one or two years guarantee. Some obviously with 6 years. It seems apps aren't brilliant on Sony Android TV's either.

The way the specs etc are changing with the TV's. Is there any point in paying more notes!!

My thinking is your getting a lot of TV cheap in comparison to established brands
And also when you want to buy your next TV your not going to worry as much because you haven't spent that much in the first place.

No YouTube 4k on the app, still viewable on desktop if you have a 980ti (or any 4k 60hz card). Input lag is pretty good, it was reduced in a software update and is much better in Game mode. The input lag is a lot higher in 4k (as with all 4k) but I'd say I can't notice it at all however at 1080p there really is none, no problems with racing games. Therefore I use 1080p 120hz for racing games and FPS.

We went to RS this afternoon to buy the 50" Hisense (this years model) & the salesman said that he wouldn't buy Hisense himself as it has a slight stutter when playing fast motion scenes, which is irritating. He said that if we weren't really bothered about 4k then we should look at a Samsung 48H6400 which is the same price as the Hisense, but has amazing reviews & is a superb TV. We then came away with nothing......but saved £449

I'm sure that salesman is a credit to Richer Sounds.

Perhaps he doesn't make as much commission selling Hisense. From what I've read every TV has some sort of issue. There doesn't seem to be a perfect TV unless you pay through your nose. My reason to purchase is keep it a couple years then upgrade. Technology is moving too fast.

Thanks, what colour settings do you use for gaming & what colour settings do you use for watching tv. Manythanks

Can some one tell me the best colour setttings for this tv when gaming, and the best colour settings for when watching tv shows and netflix and youtube and all of dat

Could someone who bought this tv do me a favour please?

Would you mind measuring where the feet are in relation to the edge of the tv. All the TVs these days seem to have weird stands and I'm worried it won't fit on my new corner unit!

Would really appreciate it.
