Nice deal but no hdr so not 4 me

It says Freesat on the box. I have SKY so dont use Freesat so cannot confirm .

it's not freesat, its EU sat

Many thanks , really tempted to get for £799 at richer sounds

yes it does.

Does this have freesat built in ?

I suggest order form Richersounds. The tv comes with 6 year warranty for the sample price £799. 3 year warranty apart from 2 year manufacturer warranty costs around £149 from Hisense.

Excuse my ignorance but what the hell is HDR for on a TV? I havent needed to buy a TV since I picked up a 55" LG 3D a few years back so I suppose Im out of the loop

edit: for anyone that is also out of the loop: http://www.digitaltrends.com/home-theater/4k-ultra-hd-buying-guide/#:RH11CcHwPUctxA

Any news on performance, input lag while gaming, screen uniformity and motion rate yet?

ao.com have this apparent beauty for £799 and I'm eager to get it asap but I'm worried about the points above not being so great at this seemingly too good to be true price...

Just incase, though, does anyone know how ao.com are with returns?

I cancelled the JL order and orders from AO. The reason being, JL doesn't price match AO. I am not sure what you're taking FALD? I am getting mine on Tuesday. I can check that for you if you tell me how to check.

Did you get your TV from John Lewis? Does it have Local Dimming or FALD like the K720?

Its also available at AO for £759 with GET40 code.

Hi Friends, just ordered one from JohnLewish. They have cheap accidental damage cover for this tv (£45 for 5 years).
Its arriving on Monday. Fingers crossed.

Its in the garden shed, should have it for you tomorrow. I'm away from home tonight. you can just call the store though and they can measure it for you.

do you still have the box for it? I need dimensions to check if it's going to fit in my car :smiley:

Its online and in store now http://www.richersounds.com/product/tv---all/hisense/65k5510/hise-65k5510

is this tv still available via store or phone ?

Sorry mate i don't have the 720 but based on the specs they are pretty much the same, except this isn't curved and has a slightly faster refresh rate. someone mentioned the 720 has FALD, but i'm not quite sure what that is and if the 5500 has it.

Any news on how this TV compared with 720 is much appreciated. Thanks.

Is this a good tv compared with 720? I need to purchase one immediately. thnaks.

£829.98 at direct Tv's

Haven't been able to get around to doing it yet. The Mrs is hogging the TV .

Have you done the zone test yet?? What about HDR demos - does it work??

There is a freesat tuner built in.

pictures on AO shows freesat built in but nothing in specs so can anyone confirm if there is a freesat tuner built in please

Yes that is the big question - what do they mean by HDR Local Playback?? If it is just via the built in media player then it is of no use to anybody unless we start seeing 4K HDR rips being pirated - not even sure if that is possible??

This TV doesnt have the hardware to display HDR (it would need quantum dots or similar to do so) but it can still read the metadata and give an HDR effect ... basically HDR is one big mess at present but manufacturers see the chance at gaining some big sales by saying their product is HDR capable.

On the box it did say HDR Local Playback only, so wouldnt that be USB and not the streaming services like Netflix?

Thanks, will try it when i get back home tonight.

Hiya mate, I am guessing the HDR is via USB and the built in media player?? If that is the case I don't think it is much use other than running HDR demos on loop at the present time ... of course that may change.

If you want to check to see dimming zones then run this test - make sure local dimming is activated on your tv and increase the contrast to maximum:

any chance of pictures of smart features please and general feedback after couple of hours of watching :smiley:

This chap on ebay is selling them for £883.86 but I'd personally wait for RS to get them for the warranty

Thanks. If possible please share a pic

Just setting it up at the moment.

Things i can confirm for now are: Series 5 Range, HDR and Amazon app. sound is perfect. will be hooking up my xbox over the weekend. I dont know if it has FALD, anyone know how i can check ?

Any news on how good is compared to 720?

Cheers, good to know!

The point being is you'll definitely have to pay tax on an imported TV even if it's a gift.

There is also this.

3.4 How do I arrive at the customs value?

You base it on the price actually paid or payable by the buyer to the seller for the goods. This means the total payment made or to be made by the buyer to or for the benefit of the seller for the imported goods.

​I could on my cheap k321 2015 .

Ok so the K720 is £999.99
Which is the better TV ?

Crofter has a point :smiley:

Sadly I don't think this has much in comparison with the K720 - for a start it's a flat panel and more importantly I would go out on a limb to say it is an edge-lit TV although nothing in the specs to confirm this.

The big selling point for the K720 is that it is FALD.

You absolutely do have to pay tax, the "I'll send it as a gift and not pay any duty" myth is still going strong I see >

http://www.dutycalculator.com/help_center/do-i-have-to-pay-duty-and-vat-on-a-gift/

If over a certain value I think yes

You really want someone from USA sending a TV all way to UK ?

Do you still have to pay tax if a resident there buys it and then sends it over here as a present?

Look forward to your review, BluntMachetti.

If you get a chance, would be interested as to whether it is good for gaming and whether you can connect your pc to it and have it output 4:4:4 Chroma 4k@ 60hz

Thanks, will hold off on this then!

​call richersounds

i know Walmart in America import a lot of Hisense technology and sell them cheaply in their supermarts. I dont mind going on holiday over there and buying one. Its the small problem of bringing it into the country and paying tax on it. Anyone with any sane ideas put it on UKHOT deals

How do I buy this TV?

>>>>>
HEAT on the price... however this is not a HDR set, it will only be hdr with the new
firmware... it is also the 2015 panel, not the 2016 panel ;-)

How do you know about which range it is ? Been trying to find it.

Not all models only H7 up,this is the H6 range.

Amazon video availability is a big one. As is whether HDR works with Amazon and Netflix. Some reports online that they are currently only supporting HDR through built in media player and not from streaming services yet.

The type of backlighting and peak brightness will be important to figure out whether this can do real HDR or not.

I'm getting it tomorrow so I will confirm. HDR was promised for the 2015 version in an update that never made it.
AO says this model has Amazon prime though

I think his set has HDR. I think the AO details are incorrect.

The big question is what kind of backlighting does it have. The 720 was an amazing FALD set.

all their 2016 models have HDR http://mashable.com/2016/01/05/hisense-hdr-4k-tv/#a2z_4XxKE8q5

Excellent deal for this price and for this size screen :smiley:

Heat. Bought 2 for the kids rooms.

Deal breaker

No HDR ! very cold. Don't spend ur money on non HDR

Nice deal but no hdr so not 4 me

The listed spec on ao, has no HDR listed.
Is that a deal breaker ?
I'm really tempted ... :confused:

I believe it is, mine gets delivered tomorrow so I will be able to post more info then.

Is that a picture of the actual telly, bluntmachetti? If so I cannot have it because the feet would not fit on my unit

Nice one.

Apparently it just got delivered to their warehouse. Not in stock in any of their stores yet and comes with a 6 year Warranty

Now we're talking. I think it may get hot in here

EDIT. They don't even have a 65 inch Hisense on their website.
