Can now proudly declare I have finally joined the elite group of people who quickly learn there is sod all 4k content to watch :stuck_out_tongue:

OK mine just arrived and it says HDR specifically on the box, so it's there in some form at least

​you can pay and collect in store

Don't have them fitted so no idea if movable. 90cm apart

Still very happy with the TV here and the latest firmware brought HDR with it as promised, which makes a real difference :innocent: Just need more content!

I've also upgraded my Xbox, so can enjoy all the 4k goodness more often. I use that for all the apps like Netflix, iPlayer, etc though, so can't comment on the inbuilt versions.

It's been quiet in here... After living with this TV for a few months, have things changed for others? Has anyone got an updated opinion of their purchase?
Did the new firmware (901) improve Iplayer or hdr or anything else?
Has the TV bedded in and picture quality improved?

Thanks

Press the little picture symbol to the top right of the comment box! Thank-you.

of course.... how do I upload it on here?

You wouldn't be able to post that screenshot would you?

​I have a screenshot of the 9% deal when it was on, I ordered the TV however it didn't track so I didn't pick it up and got a full refund glad I did tbh.

Just to confirm I will not be getting 9% cash back for this set from Argos, as Quidco deny this deal ever existed. Accordingly the op should amend his description and the a.o. deal therefore looks much better.

Bought one of these on Saturday unfortunately the TV Tuner did not work and could not pick up any channels. Netflix & Youtube picture quality were amazing.
Unfortunately this was the last one in a 35 mile radius so returned for a full refund.

I bought mine through AO (£459-£50 trade in=£409, & I have £4.88 tracking with Top Cashback)

Did you get the 9%? Mine didn't track and now Quidco are saying there wasn't a 9% deal....

No. It loads but the actual programmes do not play... Tried the beta too but same problem

Does anyone have a working BBC iplayer on theirs?

Some say good picture some say 4K @ 60Hz = Grey looking blacks. That's a no go for me.

Same here. Really really pleased with picture etc, but iplayer not working.

So far i can't get the iplayer app to work on the tv... Amazon app is also quite poor
Picture is great but firmware is not.. Satellite EPG very laggy, have switched back to freeview.

Anybody assist with best picture settings etc

Exactly why are people putting up with nonsense from these idiot suppliers.

Pretty much spot on! Im not changing my panny commercial panel until oled hits. I just want a second tv but cant get on with lcd at all.

What's HDR

Won't you find it a bit of a distraction when driving?

If cancelling the order within 14 days, I'm pretty sure that you have to return the goods in the same condition in which they were supplied, ie unused. If they are not in the same condition you lose the right to cancel.

Have you turned the backlight down?

let us know what it's like. black levels on 4k if you can as I've heard they come out grey.
also if you have a PC let me know if it does 4k 4:4:4 with proper blacks.
much obliged.

I've just bought mine from Argos
Fitted into the Ford Focus.

That's what the system reset function is there for, and why we keep the box!

The devil take their semantic sophistry.

If you ordered online you get a confirmation email with a return phone number in it so just phone them and don't listen to the Chat person.
If you bought it in store youre probably out of luck.

You do have 30 days, though, with Argos to look at the box to see if you want it.
Lol.

I explained all of this to "Ruth" their appointed representative chat guru, who said that was their policy. If it had even been switched on they would refuse to take it back. You do have 30 days, though, with Argos to look at the box to see if you want it.

When buying on line you have added protection:Online, mail and phone order sales

Online, mail and telephone order customers have the right to cancel their order for a limited time even if the goods aren’t faulty. Sales of this kind are known as ‘distance selling’.

You must offer a refund to customers if they’ve told you within 14 days of receiving their goods that they want to cancel. They have another 14 days to return the goods once they’ve told you.

You must refund the customer within 14 days of receiving the goods back. They don’t have to provide a reason.

Is that if you collect in store because I've sent two TVs back no probs when ordering online.

If you are returning it when there is nothing wrong with it they can feasibly refuse. If that is the game they fancy playing take a hammer to it and say it was like that when you got it home. A whiff of fraud, but a nice demonstration of bad customer service costing the company more than good would of done.

EDIT to add: also my understanding is that if you bought this online to be delivered you can return anything for any reason under distance selling regs

oop, what beljim said

Incidentally, it was carefully explained to me by an Argos representative on the chat that if you even switch the TV on, they will not accept it as a return as it's been used.

Worth noting!

Received mine last night, to replace my 7 year old Panny plasma 42". I have mixed feelings.

It's certainly big, very slim bezel. The UX is simple, but nice. Full HD in Amazon is sharp, can't check out Ultra 4k as my BB is lousy here in the country. I really like the casting from iPhone Youtube to the big screen, makes it a joy to use. there's a simple PVR in there as well for DTV.

But...

Maybe I'm just not used to LCD TVs, or thought that they had got better over the years. It just looks washed out, there are no real blacks, only greys. And it feels as though there is some kind of diffusing film over the screen Viewing angles aren't great too. And the light bleed from the sides is quite visible.

It is also VERY bright, that may be a good thing for daytime, but I found it hard to adjust for nighttime viewing. With at screen this size every time an advert comes on with a white background (especially after a dark scene) you feel blinded. And that's on the dark cinema setting. So more to play with there.

Whilst the OSD is nice and all, it does feel sluggish if you're used to Amazon Fire etc. It does the job though, just feels like a step backwards.

I will decide in the next few days as to whether it stays. Perhaps I am expecting too much as a lot of the above criticisms are inherent in LCD technology. Still can't help feeling a bit disappointed.

OLEDs at this size are more than twice the price so it needs to put it in perspective.

Just my 2c, hope this helps.

Just picked this up. To be honest I don't have much to compare to as I move alot for work so hadn't had a large TV for sometime, but to me it looks great both for Netflix/amazon and for gaming; Overwatch looked fantastic. Well worth the price tag IMO. Let's see if it holds up!

For those interested, this is now available to ao.com for a possible £409:

TV Price: £499
'GET40' Discount code: £459
Trade in old TV for £50: £409

I know people have mixed opinions on them, but that looks like a bargain to me... :man:

Is this any good for gaming please.

Top tip thanks :-)

Richer Sounds have the same Hisense K5510 65" model in their warehouses for £899 with free 6 year warranty. If you ring them up then they can order 1 into your local store to view 1st or order 1 direct to your home. I don't know when they're gonna have them up on the site and to buy as normal though yet as I rang up yesterday and they've only been in the warehouse for a few days.

Yes was looking at spending around £1K and that looks like a really good find thanks. I'll have to see if I can find some more reviews on it, ta

Also spotted on that site that they have the 65" 4K Hisense for £1K http://ao.com/product/he65k5510uwts-hisense-tv-black-41636-108.aspx

IF your definintion of a reasonable price is £629. Then See Here

The 1 5* review claims it's a decent tv too.

I've been searching for weeks for a decent TV since my Toshiba went belly up.
I've got to the point there's always somethig wrong with the TV's I've been wanting and got put off so I've decided just to go for a low priced 4K model and get on with my life. I need it only really as a monitor as i use a PC and run everything through that.
So my main concerns are...

Can it do 4K 60Hz 4:4:4, and any idea of input lag score? I can't find much info anywhere.

What, to you is "reasonable" ?

Box measures 53.5 inch by 32.5 inch

Bit off topic sorry but anyone know of any decent TV's 65" and beyond that are now at a reasonable price? I can't wait for the big 100" jobies to come down in price, bigger the better I say

Roughly: H:820mm L:1370mm W:150mm

Okay nevermind, argos cancel my order and say they are processing a refund =<

Don't know what to say. The feet could have been better, but sturdy enough have had no problem. They don't protrude too much and are stable. I'd have prefered a different type but no complaints in space usage or inconvenience

Im just curious what the footprint of this TV is like, for those of us who cant wall mount.

Same issue for me, none for home delivery. Can someone measure the box dimensions please ? :stuck_out_tongue:

Seriously !

So smartphones with 4K screens have just been skipped to make way for 8K screens?

4K is a stop gap until we get 8K. 4K was never the real deal, 8K is where things need to be at.

http://www.wired.com/2016/01/8k-tvs-coming-to-market/

You'll see 8K and above on smartphones before you see in on a big TV at home, the reason is VR, if VR really takes off so will smartphones with 8K screens.

Certainly. 40" as opposed to 55" - it would topple over otherwise. Your point being ?

Mine arrived last night and is now looking very nice on the wall!

Had an initial issue with screen tearing/dropping when first connected the Xbox up which had me worried... Changed the hdmi cable though and it's been fine since. Just strange as I was using that cable on my old TV with no problems at all!

Not had a chance to play around with the picture settings yet, but it looks very good out of the box to be fair. 4k videos obviously steal the show, but it upscales nicely too for everything else. Sound is exactly what you would expect; pretty awful, but hook it up to a soundbar/some speakers and problem solved. Not used any of the smart features as they're all available on the Xbox, but it connected to the network fine.

Overall, first impressions are very good and I think this set will last us for many years to come! :smile:

Depending on the refresh rate, however I got a feeling its very similar one, unless you dropped 1500£ on a samsung amolded one

will this do

I've ordered it :smiley:
Now my worry is will the box fit in a Ford Focus!!!!

but i assume they are a different length apart?

Thanks afly, got the power, HDMI ARC cable and ethernet sorted out now. Bring on the weekend's wall mounting!
Now where is my drill.....

The feet/stand on this is IDENTICAL to the smart TV from Aldi I bought for £200 a month ago or so. Had to take three back before I got one that worked properly !! Wonder if it's the same factory making them both ? The Chinese tend to do that, not a great range

I don't think that is the same model?

He must have been trying to upsell or just be clueless to this new competitor brand.

And it can't of been on show if there was "stutter" lol

90cm is what argos say the TV footprint is...

​Why stock it then? They are committed to quality and good advise yet they stock products they don't rate?

There's a terrible review of this on richer sounds. I have looked at so many 4k tv's and have never been convinced enough to get one. Even Samsung sets upwards of £700 have issues like light bleed, spotting etc. With minimal 4k content out there I'm still waiting for a set with very few flaws, for now each manufacturer has a variety of different issues. This is cheap but will have guaranteed problems for everyone other than the casual.

No more Quidco...? or am I missing something?

Now that's what I call role reversal!

Could the salesman demo the stutter?

Thank you very much, back to convincing now!! Salesman in Richer sounds advised us not to buy Hisense because of stutter, so hubby will need even more convincing!

Assume you mean diagonal? 56". Framing is 1/2" essentailly

Could anyone please give me the measurement of this including the bezel? Trying to convince my hubby that we need to upgrade our 50" tv (which is 54" inc bezel), he says it will look too big, but I can't see that it will be that much bigger as ours as the bezel is thinner! Thanks in advance.

Don't take this as absolute gospel but i remember it being a Figure 8 when i was mounting it.

http://www.cablewarehouse.co.uk/display_category.php?cat_id=3&gclid=CNf07IOG98wCFUgq0wod5dQFqQ

No way was it 5m though, 3m probably. Hopefully a very cheap replacement will do as it didn't seem proprietary

EDIT: it goes into the side of the TV so you dont need the angled version. The regular is fine

I'd say keep the feet far apart as possible... Especially if your stand is quite big... By the sounds of things also, since your footprint size is 90 odd centre metres I'd say there's nothing for you to worry about as it is said that the bigger the footprint the bigger the stand... So your stand must be big enough.

Very, very tempted! Heat for the price. Think I'll have a look if there's one in RS on Deansgate and have a demo.

It's the same price as Richer Sounds http://www.richersounds.com/product/tv---all/hisense/55m3300/hise-55m3300

I got mine with top cashback instead and have 10.5%-11% registered tracked cashback (around 55 quid back!!) gonna wall mount myself. curious about the exact specs as having difficulty tracking it down on their site. does anyone know what power cable it uses? need a 5m one for my weekend wall mounting project!

From Richer sounds atm by a TV and Sonos Playbar and get £100 off with "PLAYBAR100" I am tempted..

I'm seriously considering this TV. the plan is to use this stand https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00XJRJFNY/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?qid=1464210611&sr=8-2&pi=SY200_QL40&keywords=tv+stand&dpPl=1&dpID=41k-DErhmAL&ref=plSrch has anyone used it?

There's plenty, you've just got to pay for it and have a quick broadband connection.

Wall mounted

what have you got instead as a stand?

Thanks

I'm sure about 20-25 are required for smooth playback.

It probably says no under hdr on most sites as it's hdr local playback using usb and the native media player instead of through the 3rd party apps such as Netflix and Amazon etc. Surely if it has hdr in any form though, it's just a matter of a firmware update to bring it to the rest of the tv. Could be waiting some time for an update though if it's anything like the K700, K720 and XT910 ranges where it's been months since the last proper update and the release date keeps slipping further and further back.

Are DSL connections (17Mb) good enough for streaming 4k content from prime/netflix/youtube?

Um m330 on richer sounds says no HDR.on spec page.

Can anyone tell me how wide apart the feet are? Don't know if my stand is big enough!

EDIT: Argos says footprint is 90cm, lets hope thats true!

This is a cracking TV for the money. Got mines for £450 from AO using Get40 code and trading in an old broken TV for £50 credit. Couldn't find many reviews on it, so went with a gut instinct. Glad I did. Would recommend to anyone looking for a great quality, large TV.

Anyone assist with the best picture settings ... :smiley:

Picked up this from AO.com use code Get40 for 40 off and another 50 cash back when u trade in any TV..passed on a old TV/DVD from kitchen brings it down to 450

Just tried a few mins of tomb raider on ps4, no noticeable lag though I may not be the best judge. Kinda of wish I hadnt sent back my doom rental yesturday :/

Picture wise, only way I've been able to get 4k streams is via the amazon prime app for their key shows (looks decent) and by plugging my mbp directy into the tv and playing a youtube uhd vid (looks OUTSTANDING)

OK mine just arrived and it says HDR specifically on the box, so it's there in some form at least

Can now proudly declare I have finally joined the elite group of people who quickly learn there is sod all 4k content to watch :stuck_out_tongue:

Richer Sounds now at £499 by the looks of it with 6 year guarantee

Is the SONY BRAVIA KD55X8509C worth the extra £300 compared to this?

Is anyone able to play a HDR title on Netflix, Amazon or via USB on this?

Got one this afternoon. Can't seem to see any Netflix uhd titles despite updating to the uhd Netflix subscription. Any ideas?

What are the viewing angles like on these models?

This is so tempting, it's crazy how the 58" is £100 more...

Don't have them fitted so no idea if movable. 90cm apart

Can you move the feet in? Anyone know how far apart they to fit on cabinet? Ta.

Well goodbye my trusty 2007 Toshiba 42x3030BD you have done me proud, let's see what 9 years newer brings me!

so does this have hdr?

It mentions it here http://www.cramptonandmoore.co.uk/hisense-h55m3300-55-4k-uhd-led-smart-tv-black.html

cryptically

"M3300 UHD smart TV offers the best of high definition entertainment. It can upscale FHD images to near UHD and decode HDR movies from external device."

Seen a few owners say it does too. Other than that I couldn't find any confirmation elsewhere

No mention of HDR anywhere

Depth 8.5cm. Bit of a chunk but nothing out of the ordinary.

No im asking for pictures with the tv on the wall, to get a idea of how far it actually sticks out. I am not asking for generic pictures which give you absolutely no idea of how it will look like when wall mounted.

Hence why i asked a member that had already wall mounted it. Please read before jumping to conclusions.

Theres me dropping £1500 on a sony 55inch hdr telly last week and this can do hdr for £500 lol could of had one for each bedroom for that! Wonder if its literally as good though.

Any good for gaming ??

Cashback will not be paid on any Fast Track orders (pay online collect in store), unless specifically stated ?

Any pics from a side view? the tv looks super thick at the bottom, surely must stick out from the wall a fair bit? who said it wasn't a 3D tv :laughing:

Cashback on Quidco tracked for me, but I went with Home Delivery which now seems OOS :disappointed:

Quidco 9% cash back unavailable on this item as its out of stock for home delivery & quidco doesn't qualify for store pickup so only really saving £10 with Argos voucher...

Cor blimey, was eyeing up the old model at the same price just this morning. Arrives this afternoon. >£50 topcashback tracking too.

I don't normally venture outside of my known sony/samsung/lg circles but I've seen decent feedback from the community here so happy to take a punt

Many thanks for your reply
2 year warranty is ample, so yes save around £100 with cash back and Argos voucher

HDR from external sources currently, though HDR and Freeview Play are coming in a future update.


Yeah it's the same model, so you have to factor in how much the Warranty is worth to you I guess... It comes with a 2 year Hisense guarantee and when you take off the cashback + Voucher you're effectively paying over £100 for those extra 4 years.

Looking for 55" tv myself is this model the same as RIcher sounds have for sale @ £549 only comes with 6 year warranty ?

Bought on Monday for £549.99, Just been on the phone to argos and got a £50 refund. Thanks OP

Useful thread here than may answer some of the questions asked so far (HDR, Best Modes of Gaming...)

https://www.avforums.com/threads/hisense-55-m3300.2028817/

anybody know if this is gonna be any good for gaming on? looking for a new tv, my mate bought a 4k Samsung tv for £800 and tbh my plasma is fare better, his stutters Like mad on Fifa. I don't want the same issue.

Does this do HDR from external sources too, HDMI?

seems to have a black frame around the picture?

anyone wanting the 50" version £100 cheaper here.

Yes, the stand was like in the thumbnail. I had no use for it though as i Wall mounted mine.

I have just seen. When I looked back on that thread yesterday it had expired.
You seem happy with it and ten inches is worth £400 easily :smile:

Was the stand like in the thumbnail you posted, I cannot see in your pictures

Damn because its a really good price for a 55" 4k tv. I got mine yesterday, all setup. I need to replace my AV to something slimmer but once i have and i have plugged in all my appliances i intend to do a full review.

Why damn?

Did you get yours?

Damn !

Nice
