Added this here as well as we have two topics for the same deal following a change in promotion (was £40 off yday, now 10% off today)

Be aware of long-term faults on the 2015 models (bar the entry level K321/EC591),. of which this is one:

- no 4k/60fps compatibility on the 2 HDMI 2.0 sockets
- no Amazon Video
- media player only plays in full screen
- issues with Plex (may be a Plex issue in fairness to Hisense)

The top fault is key with the launch of Ultra HD Blu-ray players from Sammy and Panasonic (and the Xbox One S soon), as well as the Nvidia Shield and the BT Ultra HD box, and therefore probably Sky Q too.

This fix has been promised since the turn of the year and is now sketchily pencilled in for 'July' and, comically, delayed for another month at the end of each month.

Interestingly, Hisense have revealed this model (also known as 58K700 - this partiuclar model AO is selling is the EU version which is perfectly fine for us....well until next Thursday at least :wink:) may get an HDR update of sorts, but I suspect this will be limited to USB and possibly streaming. Should be possible to bypass the 60fps issue with a HDFury if you happen to have one lying around...

There is a Hisense France beta firmware doing the rounds which allegedly fixes the 4K/60fps and media player issues but no-one has reported back for definite yet.

I have a keen interest in Hisense's development and suspect they will be the next Samsung. However, there are issues with all bar their entry level models and a bizarre approach to releasing worldwide models, with features changing between territories making it almost impossible to compare.

This year has already seen the release of two rather confusing models, the 65K5510 which appears to be a relaunched version of the 65 inch version of this model minus the 3D but with local HDR playback and Amazon Video out of the box (and can be had for £799, probably less if the AO discount works on that model too - Owners thread https://www.avforums.com/threads/hisense-he65k5510uwts-owners-thread.2032992 ), and the humungous 75M7900 (owners thread https://www.avforums.com/threads/hisense-75m7900-75-inch-4k-ultra-hd-tv-with-hdr.2022072/ ) which is a 2016 model number but seemingly with 2015 model specs.

Other models launched in 2016 are the entry level M3000 range (which are incredibly cheap and cheerful, again alleging HDR for local playback and streaming - owners thread https://www.avforums.com/threads/hisense-55-m3300.2028817/ ), and within the next week or so the M7000 (owners thread https://www.avforums.com/threads/hisense-55-65m7000-uled-owners-thread.2018360/ ) which is what Hisense call a ULED model (Ultra LED), ie. a step up but again seemingly missing a number of key features upon release.

All very confusing, model number wise.

This has the makings of a good interim telly for those waiting to pounce once OLED prices become more sensible (and the wrinkles are ironed out on the tech) but caveat emptor - there are firmware issues which mean this is still a half-formed product.

Owners thread for this model (aka K700) at https://www.avforums.com/threads/hisense-ltdn-k700xwtseu3d-owners-thread.1986050/

I personally wish TVs didn't have any smart features.. theyre always crap. it's much better to add your own stuff like Chromecast etc.

Can't be that bad. It's being advertised pretty hard in the Euros right night. 'China's most popular electronic brand' or something.

Isn't this brand rubbish?.... :wink:

crazy price, hope they bring that mythical firmware finally though

Apparently 3D is rubbish but someone already told me off last time for saying that lol

Nice, waiting in a decent 65" price. Heat added

this good for gaming?

damn. I paid 700 for this at new year >.<.

Youre better going for this years model (2016) yes its only 55 not 58 and you lose the 3d, but it's a much better tv and the software is a million times better....... the smart functions are actually of use this time around.

This tv doesn't do 4k from youtube and there is no amazon app at all......... plus the store is full of geman crap thats no use here.

Good price if you just want a new tv and aren't really bothered about streaming / future updates/ on demand etc

Wanted to get it in early, so many dont get it though...
