You should have purchased the 65" HS if you have spent that much on a Panasonic, as for
the well known in china for a low end product, you might be pretty shocked to find out who
produced the components for some hisense models...

Having spent an absolute age/shed load of £ in a mega store, so much so, that the manager came over
with a cup of tea and some hobknobs for us, on 2 visits.. I am very happy to say, that there was not one
single TV in the 55-65" sub grand price range, that after extensive testing, messing around with, setting
calibrations, 720/1080i/1080p/4k/Ultra4K, Sky HD media testing and watching a 4K blu-ray on each one..

Nothing [other than the Sony 55!] even came close to being as good/clear/contrasty/bright and easy
to watch as the Hisense 65" we got in the hukd thread.. and as mentioned, cannot wait to upgrade
and get either the new oled 65/75 or the new UHDR 65/75 model ;-)

Everyone is different and everyone wants a TV for different reasons.. but that is just my 2c worth!

Well, it could.

Does anyone have any idea when the Hisense H8 series (50H8C & 55H8C) will be released in the UK? There is very little info on the internet & these are the models I'm holding out for.

I decided to go for this TV as I really needed one due to other TV breaking

I'm not sure how I feel about it, I've noticed a lot of lag on Netflix 4K, and playing Uncharted 4, it doesn't look very good and it feel very choppy and laggy, despite the game running very smooth on my older Sharp TV.

Hmm...

Can anyone else confirm?

Nonsense, SD looks fine on my plasma, looked great on CRT too. It's modern TVs that make SD look terrible. :-) I'd love to see more HD channels too though SD will be here for a while yet.

Ok for those interested, the TV is up, wall mounted on a cantilever bracket, the picture is awesome on Netflix 4k and superb on HD channels, I'm no AV geek or expert, just a family man who wanted a decent ATV for us all.
Not had a chance to try all feature but the switch between inputs is slick and it works well withy humax box.

Well worth every penny IMO

Read Post No.68 above.

I just picked up the 50EC591U from Argos on Sunday for 379. Is there much difference between the two models? As it's still in the box I'm not sure if it's worth returning it to Argos and going for this one instead?? Thanks

​This set is HDMI 2.0 and HDR requires HDMI 2.0A. Sets with 2.0A cost at least £1000. Theoretically this could be upgraded via firmware but I've yet to see a case of this.

Cheers Ashtad....

I thought the same. I know incredibly cheap but when I saw a Hisense tv in the flesh in Richer Sounds they looked very deep. On a stand though it doesn't matter though.

The problem for me is, it looks super thick. So wouldn't be ideal putting it on the wall?

Does this HDR from external sources from HDMI?

The Amazon one as it's the 2016 model with HDR

HELP us out here guys......Which one is better??

This one:

Hisense 50-Inch Widescreen 4K Smart LED TV with Freeview HD & Freesat £399.99 at Amazon
OR
Hisense 50EC591U 50 Inch 4K Ultra HD Smart LED TV £379.00 @ Argos (possible 5% cashback with quidco)

Many Thanks...

thanks for the reply, mine is going up tomorrow :smiley:

Tempted to get this and replace my LG 3D 42" one

SD content looks awful on any set.
Wish they would ditch the SD channels now

will SD content look good on this set

Specifications for HDMI3/HDMI4 includes [email protected]

The built in Youtube, Netflix & Amazon apps work in 4k brilliantly (which is more than you can say with some of last year's high end TVs costing many times more). HDR demo's on YouTube look amazing. There is a kind of appstore but I wouldn't use this as I have a Microserver attached for running Kodi etc. & streaming Steam games. The appstore games & the web browser look a bit "noddy" (but much better than my Panasonic Viera this replaces).

I'm jealous, can't wait to get the living room finished and watch mine.
How have you found the smart features

Mine came today.Watching FA cup on BT Sport Ultra HD. Absolutely Brilliant TV for price! C'mon Palace.

Hisense or nonsense? Sony or Sammy?

Did you calibrate all the TVs whilst testing them side by side?

Hobknobs? God, how middle-class.

8-)

Just played payday 2 on xbox one, again im not noticing any issues, response time is perfect for me but i dont have any device to register the actual reading

Does anyone have any experience playing gaming on this? Xbox One or Playstation 4 for example...

Everything works out the box for me, set up was quick and easy, watched a few trailers on youtube out the box image is nice and clear but dont have amazon video so have not tested it yet.

having trouble getting on the Hisense website to check the latest firmware its asking for a login?

Ive just ordered mine, arriving tomorrow with TV wall bracket, will be a few days before I can try it though as I've got he builders in rebuilding my living room.
As soon as I have tested it I will post a review for you all.
by the way I'm no TV expert, so it will just be a real standard is it any good for average user review....

Should, but go onto AV Forums and there are many who have problems. Hisense should have sorted it out by now I agree, but clearly not on their own. A 4k separate box is probably a better solution.

i cannot confirm as im waiting for an antenna to be fitted in the loft, but it has connections for a DVB-T (standard plug in type) and a DVB-S (screw in type)

also HDMI 1 is MHL compatible and just tested with my phone which works

does this def have freesat or just freeview?

i just got back from richer sounds with the 50m3300 (449 with 6 year guarantee) and heres the front of the box stating its HDR, i will try and get some more pictures on later etc.

The things I heard are saying its the same but can be driven at a higher refresh, they apparently cheaped out on the logic.

Cheers for sending the message to them, please let us know if its 4k/60Hz, Ive been looking for the value goldilocks screen that has great colour, angles and 4K/60, this could be it!

Tbh, I couldn't care about their smart functions and would happily buy a screen without that but instead with more of the B.O.M. allocated towards quality.

I considered this and the very latest panasonic TV and opted for the Panasonic, the picture quality is not everything the quality of the compenents also have a bearing on the TV, this Hisense is well known in china as a low end product with a limited lifespan.
Anyone thinking that this TV for £400 is going to last long is perhaps deluding themselves, however, purchasing with an extended warranty might be a point worth considering.
I ended up paying £1300 so the price difference is considerable but at the end of the day i feel you do not buy to many tvs in a lifetime but you sure as hell spend a lot of time watching if you have kids.

has anyone found a good video review for these yet

According to Hisense, all the M series 2016 models have HDR. Have a look at the M3000 video on the Argos website, that shows it in a product video.

Good price.

will richer sounds match this?

Also what deal would you lot go for, either this or the sony tv at tescos previously posted at £499

If you're planning on gaming on this TV, don't. Unplayable input lag.

Not exact model number but was also on AO. The differences are negligible

So is HDR a upgrade from 4K?

anyone reccommend a good 55 inch tv for around £500?

was going to go for the sainsburys celcus 48 inch deal, then was tempted by this deal, but i really want 55inch or bigger.

i have the 40 inch hisense and am very happy with it only down side is the op system for apps is a german one not google play

that's exactly what i meant and surprised to hear this wouldn't work so thanks for the tip! i'm sure others appreciate it too! i was looking to see if netflix 4k would work but just saw people say amazon 4k and youtube 4k don't work.

In case anyone is interested you can get it for £50 more at Richer Sounds but with a 6 year warranty.

I'm not sure what you mean by box here but if you mean the Fire TV for 4k this won't work as the tv needs to have an HDR enabled HDMI input which this hasn't got. Without it you get a warning on the Fire TV and will only see the normal HD content.

it does not look a good review with regard to picture quality etc

cheap tatty tv - just like baird

No amazon 4K, and youtube is not 4K either.

The 4K update has been overdue for 7 months now, be warned.

I have the 55" version of this from fleabay when it was £379. It's a good TV for the price and does the job for us as a spare room telly but it can't keep up with a £2.5k spammy, and neither would I expect it to. It's cheap, it's big and it does the job competently.

I've not been able to find any comment from owners about viewing angles on these sets, the previous model was criticised for poor viewing angles, but no word on these...
Anyone able to comment?

Does this tv have high dynamic range?..If not,would it be worth getting a high dynamic tv over a standard 4k tv.Thanks in advance.

I'm looking to replace my bravia which is 9 year old and really tempted with this one but would it be worth it to spend extra 100 and byt the 49" sony 4k android that was posted earlier? still available in my local tesco.or is there anything else people would recommend?
could anybody help?thanks.

Didn't think so

which is a reason to avoid being tempted by TV's with features and get a fire stick (or box in this case for 4k) instead.

No Amazon 4K either.

The difference is Hisense have the codec for Youtube, but it just doesn't work. And they have been promising a fix since December 2015.

LG, Sony, Samsung should ALL play Netflix, Amazon and Youtube in 4K.

£384.99 with Flubit Elite, very tempting.

Looking to buy a Hisense TV but I think the £50 extra at Richer Sounds is worth it for the warranty.

Still holding out for the June model though. Hope it's not stupidly price compared to recent range of TVs.

If it doesn't actually say it has Freesat it probably doesn't. Being able to receive channels via satellite (DVB-S/S2) is not the same as having Freesat. You may be able to watch the same channels as Freesat, but they won't auto-tune and update and there will be no 7-day EPG, just a now and next guide when you select a channel. It's the same as the difference between a Freesat box and a FTA receiver box, an FTA box would not be a good choice for most people, although if it comes effectively as a free bonus there's no downside...

Nice price (£50 cheaper than Richer / expected (?) price). I'm not in a hurry - so will (personally) wait for reviews and any further ones in the range. There were supposed to be 55" & 65" M7000's released in June (as per Hisense UK, when I called up weeks ago). The 75" M7900 is already listed (for £2,500). Honestly all I really want is the (US) 50H8C for £500-ish, but I'm not expecting that now (although will be pleasantly supprised if something like this does turn up).

Comment #15 {reply to #14?} mentions that HDR is listed on the 55M3300

Hisense US 2016 range (specs table)

All US Hisense 4k TV's list 'HDR', but note the lack of mentioned 'Local Dimming' with the H7 series, which seems to be a prerequisite for 'making the most' of HDR content:

Comment #49 - owner views on the 50M3300

I have what I think is the 55" version for £450 of this from Argos in a recent HUKD and i'm very happy with it.

Hisense is an absolute top brand for TVs.

Which is a mild refresh of the one I linked. Same panel, faster CPU and some wireless connectivity.

I cant seem to find a review for the refreshed model, so will go with the review of the previous one.

Do you know if the refresh can do 4K/60Hz?

This is a bargain having Freesat included.

Hisense are trying to be the new Samsung by hoping to offer similar quality but at a lower price.They recently bought elements of Sharp to achieve this.

Here is a review of this set
http://televisions.reviewed.com/content/hisense-50h7gb-4k-led-tv-review

It appears to be great value

Think i'll stick with my recent Sony TV @ £390 which is a measley 2" smaller

>>>>>
That is not it, that is the 2 year old H series, this is the new [april 2016] M series..

H50M3300 ;-)

With stunning UHD 4K and smart tech for less, the Hisense 50M3300 is a big screen bargain.

Fantastic value 4K
Priced to match most 1080p FHD TVs, the Hisense 50M3300 offers sensational 4K UHD for less. With four times the resolution of Full 1080p HD, 4K (UHD) TV offers stunning detail and resolution for totally life-like realism. Even without a native 4K UHD signal, UHD upscaling means that you can scale up an ordinary HD signal to make the best of the screen. Get Netflix 4K or other 4K content and the image just keeps getting better.

Smart TV
Packing a Quad Core processor, the 50M3300 is a powerful performer with Smart content, too. Connect up to your home network by Ethernet or Wi-Fi and enjoy access to a wide range of apps including favourites such as the BBC iPlayer, Netflix and YouTube. A built-in web browser lets you surf to your heart's content.

Share content
For seamless integration with your other devices, Anyview Cast and Anyview Stream let you share content from your smartphone, tablet or computer and show it on the big screen.

Fully connected
With four HDMI sockets, the 50M3300 easily handles the most complex home entertainment systems. Two of these sockets are the latest HDMI 2.0 version with HDCP 2.2, making this TV compatible with the latest UHD Blu-ray and streaming services. Other connections include no fewer than three USB sockets, one of which is the latest USB 3.0 version for a high speed link. Throw in an optical connection for a soundbar/base and headphone socket for private listening and you've got everything you need in a 4K TV.

Fantastic Freeview HD
It might be some way behind 4K, but Freeview HD is still a huge step-up on regular Freeview TV. If you're not using Sky, Virgin, BT or another digital TV provider, Freeview HD is the way to go for free-to-access digital TV through your existing aerial. Compared to standard Freeview, images are far more detailed, with rich colour and enhanced realism.

See the bigger picture, with the 4K UHD Hisense 50M3300.

Some of the comments on (I think..>) Richer sounds web site indicate it IS sat input too...

Edit: Nope, it wasn't RS... god knows where it was from, but sure I saw it!

Are you sure it is both freeview and freesat?
