He/she was kind enough to put a photo up. Could we try not rip them to shreds like snarky little gimps?

i like how you used the box to cover the chimney breast too

fabulous idea

The only advantage of a curved screen is if you are wall mounting it in a lighthouse

With TV's there's no such thing as too big! Perhaps you might want to take a course in etiquette as well as you appear incredibly condescending and rude.

I'd buy one today but can't find stock anywhere....?

​Just like Samsung and LG broke the monopoly of the established brands like Sony, Panasonic, Philips etc. 10 years ago with their aggressive pricing, Hisense is doing the same today. You're getting high quality, great specs and decent performance for a bargain price. Do not confuse Hisense with other budget brands. They are in a different league and truly believe that they are going to be the LG and Samsung of tomorrow.

Hey guys for those people who have this TV, does it upscale everything? also are you using the "dynamic" setting? The setting makes everything more vivid however as I am used to the older tv which was also 4K sometimes I think it's showing too much colour. If I use standard will I still get HDR?

has anyone got a definitive answer on the differences between the 65k5510 and the 65m5500 as I've just placed an order for the 5500 now from richer sounds and wondering if I've gone for the right one out of the two of them. thanks in advance.

Not at all but brands have heritage and track record. if you bought a sony tv 20 years ago and it worked up to the day you gave it away, you liked the picture quality etc etc its does give you perspective when looking at replacements TV.

I would also read the reviews. MY last purchase I compared 3 models all virtually same size from same brand and then made decision on reviews


No reviews on JL website which again doesnt make it a standout product.

Thank you. I've looked at it, but the 55m3300 doesn't have theatre mode unfortunately

I used these settings on my 43" Hisense and it looks awesome: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=alv0BcSteDU

JL out of stock

Yes biggest doesn't mean best, that was my point entirely.

Cheers.

Similarly, I exchanged a £2900 Samsung 65" KS9000 for the far better value Hisense at John Lewis. I was alarmed to discover iPlayer doesn't work yet on the Samsung and that watching Football and Tennis on a Curve screen shows Straight lines as Bent. Very Annoying...!! John Lewis were gggggreat, no fuss exchange with Free delivery and pick up, warranty is for 5 years with Labour, Parts and Free Collection/Delivery or Home-Service

​and there you've contradicted yourself, biggest doesn't mean best, yet your assuming that a Sony Panasonic or Samsung will be better.

it's called brand snobbery.

It's called brand awareness

Biggest doesn't mean best though does it?

If a new car brand come on the market would everyone rush to buy one? Probably the next up in terms of purchase price from a tv for most people when talking about a large single item purchase

A lot of people only shop in lidl / aldi and rave about them

I've tried both a number of times and yes they are cheaper but does the food taste better than the uk supermarkets

Imho they don't

Thats really sad, especially when Hisense are the 3rd largest TV manufacturer in the world and will definitely make a better panel whn compared to sony or panasonic in the same price range.

But ignorance is bliss i guess.

this picture doesnt belong to me. lol. but interesting question. I put the tv on the opposite of the bay window which had a huge radiator. so I have 3 x 3 seater sofas in this room. I've been told by everyone that the TV will have a very short life being over the radiator. so I got a plumber in and removed the radiator. then put 2 column radiators. one on each side of the bay window. made the room look very modern too for an old victorian house.

Only telling me Hisense is definitely not as popular as Samsung, or LG, or Sony, or even TCL.

GOOGLE IS YOUR FRIEND.

Shame you came here a bit too late...

btw, there was plenty of stock when the deal was posted last night, and it only became oos in the last few hours..

Yes you did.

shame that we see a deal posted that has already expired

​it's a real shame tho because the image quality is really a step above, can't see it failing once the content is there, not as if there's any real contest. only thing to watch is for Dolby hdr or hdr 10 as not many manufacturers are willing to pay Dolby for the licenses.

also there's another one for the YouTube codec but I've not done much looking into that side of it as I just stick to Amazon and USB content

Some uhd discs do have HDR
Deadpool
The Martian
Etc

Just when I decided to get it, it's out of stock.

This was my point in my original comment, the confusion around what HDR is has meant nobody really knows what's gonna happen in the next few years so I wouldn't get too caught up with it. Also this tv does have a 10 bit panel so I actually expect there will be a firmware update to allow HDR through HDMI at some point but until the I'll just enjoy the fantastic image the tv produces already :-)

I don't believe I ever said people should not buy HDR, you were the one saying people should not buy a tv if it doesn't have HDR....lol

​on all the banners during euro 2016 :stuck_out_tongue:

​I'd say hdr is one of the few advancements recently that is really worth looking for, but they've really screwed up and confused people on the arrangement of it all.

just because a TV says it has hdr it doesn't mean it can display the benefits, merely process them.

best way it looking for a 10bit panel if you want to future proof, but that is me in no way calling 8 bit displays poor, so no slating me

is this a smart TV? like android os or lg smart os? or just 4k?

That's what you think :wink:

​I'd expect hdr over hdmi would be included in a future update, but at the minute the only way to get hdr content is streaming.

correct me if I'm wrong, but even uhd disks haven't got hdr. or at least they didn't last time I looked

Point was, you said people should not buy HDR as there was no content, while there is.
There is HDR on Netflix. When the new Xbox is out with UHD Blu-Ray it will also support Netflix & TBH I did not buy this TV for its 'smart features'. It will play Netflix HDR from another compatible device.

I'm confused, you basically said people shouldn't buy this tv as it did not have HDR, then when I said it wasn't a bug deal due to lack of content and a confusion throughout manufacturers in regards to what the actual standard is for HDR you said there was loads of content including Netflix, now you're saying you are happy to upgrade in a few years if it takes off which is exactly what I said in my original comment...I'm so confused lol

Hisense bought out Sharp and they had some good products.

You don't know that I don't live in a lighthouse.

I dont use Netflix - I do use amazon. Happy to upgrade in a few years if it takes off (afterall 3D didnt!) Price from Richer with 6yr warranty & VIP member

Well done can't see how you would have paid that little brand new but hey, pretty sure when I was looking at TVs that model had poor HDR support in fact if I remember rightly it doesn't even support HDR from Netflix and there will be no update to correct this as they're looking at killing fire OS....good choice 'for the future' :wink:

Actually, I paid £799 for a Panny 55CX802
Looked at bigger without HDR, but choose the futureproof option

Argos does it. Register online for a 2 year warranty.

Yeah that's good too.

Oh crap. I was going to go for it but now it's out of stock!

HDR in 1080p

millenials lol. And the person took the time to post the link but it was to mega.nz, I just wanted them to post the link to the AV forum thread instead, they'd took the time to post the link so surely it's reasonable to ask and I'm sure they wouldn't mind. Grumpy much?

So what are the actual room dimensions that one has to have for ones TV to not be classed as chavvy ?

And are those dimensions ones that you have made up yourself,or are they a hooray henry industry standard.

I like beer

Some brand sensitive people would like model deletion. i.e. the Hisense logo on the front removed.
I bet they would increase sales if they did this!

Nice size TV, I would have a word with your interior designer though. The 30 foot overhang on each side doesn't look pleasant to the eye, but somewhere to hung your donkey jacket I guess :confused:

70-75"?! Might be worth considering a projector instead

Out of stock at the moment.

I guess they'll make better ones in 2017, but right now it's really not worth getting 4k IMO.

​Ahh. Q acoustic 2000i setup. Good choice!

Dat decor..

TCL, Hisense, Skyworth and Changhong are all Chinese TVs, 18.7% of global TV market share combined.

Please excuse my lack of knowledge in this area. I tend to watch sports and noticed on my old TV the TV would create blur, similar when gaming. Would this TV be a high performer for this type of usage? What technical spec should I be paying attention to. Thanks in advance helpful people of HUKD

I've got the 55 K720. Best TV I've ever owned.

No, only premium tvs this year have HDR 1000 Certification. This TV certainly won't have that, however it will most likely have local playback as their previous Tvs have.

Fair enough

I just like them. I want a curved monitor as well much for the same reason.

That Sony

Can anyone recommend a slightly larger Hisense set with good picture quality and not too high price (if any)? probably around 70-75 inch ish..

I'll certainly keep my eye on the 65 incher too..

Anyone have any idea where to buy the 43m3000 John Lewis and richer sounds don't stock it so looking for somewhere with good warranty

Out of stock......shame

The only advantage of a curved screen is if you are wall mounting it in a lighthouse

He/she was kind enough to put a photo up. Could we try not rip them to shreds like snarky little gimps?

Is the chimney breast covered in cardboard?

Why do you want one over a flat screen ?

Most people in the know will tell you that the curve adds nothing to the viewing experience.

Oos now :disappointed:

Dunno, I was asking if it had it - looks like it's been answered by others that it's HDR streaming.

​You have no concept of what OCD really is.

​You say that, but do you know if it has a certified version of HDR? That's important. HDR is bandied about on this forum on many TV deals but not many realise that the implementation is important.

I want a curved one myself, I just think they're a bit too expensive.

Damn, didn't realise the firmware was size specific :disappointed:. I've got the 58".

Very few people will 'need' one but quite a few people might 'want' one.

:confused:

Won't fit on my tv cabinet , tempted to buy and put on wall above cabinet and leave sound bar on that , can then move my 50" panny plasma into bedroom , got a friend who works at waitrose so can get £96 off , but then don't know about the 5 year warranty then

I had to google it.. didnt have a clue..
And on that basis would rather buy a slightly smaller telly from a brand I know, sony Panasonic or Samsung

​Yeah, couldn't have been much worse if they'd said "unheard of brand, walk away".... oh no, wait!!

Where did you buy the sea shells under the Telly

I have no idea about this model but my dear old dad just bought a 40" Hisense.

He's not at all clued up on tech stuff so when he told me he was thinking of buying a new TV I told him not to buy anything without first getting me to check out online reviews. Needless to say when I next went round a new TV was in the corner of his living room. Oh well at least I managed to convince him to not buy anything made by Vestel :wink:

Anyway it seems he's made quite a good choice - which was mostly price led - £270 with 5 year warranty. The picture is pretty good after I got him to turn down the saturation and brightness and I tuned it into a Freeview HD channel. I also got it connected to his broadband through a wireless router and Iplayer seems to work perfectly. The setup was a doddle and quite a refreshing change from our own older Panasonic and Samsung sets. Sound is also reasonably good - certainly good enough for my parents needs. He's very excited that it's 4K enabled though - never mind, bless him :smiley:

So all in all, if I were looking for a new telly I would certainly be having a good look at Hisense.

Really? Some years ago I had a problem with a TV. First they sent a man in a suit to confirm it was faulty (I was expecting the repair man). Then a few days later, a short time before the re-arranged time for the repair man, I got a phone call to say that he was busy could I arrange another day? When the "engineer" did arrive they had obviously sent "the lad" who sat on my living room floor for 2 hours changing the settings until the picture was unbelievably bad. I contacted Panasonic who sent out their engineer who couldn't believe just how bad the picture had been left. He fixed it. 2 wasted days off work.

This is a result of 3D not being available in 4K on any TV model at present (and no plans to change that). There's not much appetite for it and the 4K "standard" hasn't really been defined as yet (HDR vs non-HDR etc).

People still think everyone watches football? :wink:

And remember the size of the Chinese market is humongous.

Hisense are the dogs. Wouldn't swap mine for anything

Go to China any electronic stores you will see more Chinese brands then any other mainstream brands

I think that may be the angle the picture was taken from. It may well be perfectly centred.

3D is dead bud, Samsung have even killed 3D from all there 2016 model TVs 3D never took of

Tempted...does it come with a free sweet and sour & rice? That's the deal breaker

regardless of Hisense being some back alley outfit....pmsl i'm waiting until next year when scorpio is released.

my sony hx823 should live another year

Not sure if it's been said but...

The k5510 is a 2015 model that wasn't released in the uk, hisense have for some reason decided to release last year's series 5 and also this year's series 5 which is the m5500.

Regarding this year's m7000 models they are currently local HDR but the firmware should be out this month to extend HDR to hdmi ports.

Now coming from a k700 I know the pain from waiting for firmware updates.

People still not heard of Hisense?!

They've been in your face all throughout the Euros!

jeez, there are a lot of ill informed and/ or envious people on here...
good deal OP

Hi,

Mines pretty much default, but I have adaptive contrast on medium, ultra smooth motion on Low, noise reduction on medium, and backlight on 80

M

What picture settings do you have please?

Shame thi doesn't have 3D I would have to it otherwise.

Is the panel gloss or matte, and what are the viewing angles like?

JL warranties are absolutely brilliant. They are not like currys who will quibble over every little detail.

I wish i needed a new tv. or could i replace my 55'' with this 65'' without the missus noticing!!!

Hi, I've owned this tv for about 2 weeks now - got RS to replace the original due to really bad light bleed in one of the corners. New one still has some light bleed but it's to be expected with a tv in this price range I guess.

Overall, it's great - Netflix, amazon etc all work perfectly. It's got local HDR playback though theres rumours that this will be upgraded through a firmware update later this year but that's not guaranteed. Smart features work great for me and my Iphone youtube app links with it fine

The only issue that bugs me is that in dark scenes in Netflix or via usb movies, there's an odd blurring that happens. So if someone on the screen turns their head it looks like their check gets extended and blurry. Thought this was the smooth motion so turned that off but still happens. This is on both the sets I've had so looks like a software issue.

all in all a great set and can't be beaten for value for money. Got mine for 769 from RS with the 6 year guarantee so happy with the purchase.

If anyone has questions please let me know and I'll try and help

Haha what a load of rubbish I know exactly what is available and what isn't and I'm perfectly happy with the purchase I've made, maybe you are regretting paying considerably more for a HDR tv which lets face it is probably not even real HDR :wink:

You purchased a curved TV,this means you are in no position to give advice to others on a TV purchase

What a load of crap. Sounds like someone trying to justify buying a non-HDR TV.
HDR content is out now. UHD Blurays with HDR are out. Netflix & Amazon prime offer HDR content.
The content is coming.

Fair play. Looks like I'll be dusting off the card :smiley:

I was like this when I was looking at buying this tv after a lot of reading I decided to just take the plunge, it seems to me that manufacturers all have their own idea of HDR and whilst there does seem to be some official standard about to be introduced I still think that even the latest TVs announced will end up not matching what HDR will be in a year or 2. Most importantly than that there is barely any HDR content out there and as there doesn't seem to be a set standard I can't see there being much for a good while yet. For the everyday user HDR will be a minimal difference obviously side by side you might notice but given that the images produced by this tv (from what I've seen and read) are very very good I wouldn't get too caught up on the whole HDR thing. Maybe in 2/3 years time it will be more relevant but most people will be looking to upgrade not long after that anyways. Just my opinion :smiley:

i like how you used the box to cover the chimney breast too

fabulous idea

Does not having HDR make a significant difference?
Really tempted but this would be a long term purchase and don't want it to become dated too quickly. (And yes I know tech becomes dated quickly) but in the sense that I expect to have this set for a long time and don't want it to become obsolete in terms of set top boxes and general viewing experience

People with big living rooms, have you seen a 55" in some open plan living spaces? Looks tiny!

without being rude - why do you expect people to do the work for you? you could try a site specific search on google to get the info yourself.

that's the problem with millenials - they want everything doing for them :wink:

65" - Who the hell really needs a TV that size?!?

Nobody is holding a gun to your head and you could always type it into Google Christ people want everything done for them these days lol

There's no way i'd download and install that from a mega link posted on here. Can you post the link to the AV Forums thread that discusses it first please?

https://mega.nz/#!NxcHTB7R!De8p3ewJ8uqOyda7xejxPAb2j6ax-iWwXUgVqUBgL7o

here, straight from the k720 thread on the AV Forums, 65inch k720 only

30kg
Wall mount included
No HDR

I've got one of those - any idea where I could pick this firmware up?

Ironically just like a chav :wink:

With TV's there's no such thing as too big! Perhaps you might want to take a course in etiquette as well as you appear incredibly condescending and rude.

Hmm I don't think it's fair to dismiss large TVs as chavvy these days. The average screen size has been moving steadily upwards over the years. Most people (who could afford it) used to have a separate cinema room with a projector and a smaller TV. but now with 65-inch LCD's falling under £1000 the need for projectors for movies is becoming diluted somewhat. A friend of mine - a scientist, definitely not a chav - splurged out on the 80-inch LG TV that came out last year when he got his bonus and got rid of his projector; says its the best decision he's ever made as the whole family enjoys the wide screen experience all the time, not just when they sit down for a movie.

How rude.

Theres a new Beta firmware out for the k720 now that fixes alot of problems, adds Youtube 4k, Amazon 4K, mediaplayer fixes, 4k stutter @ 60hz etc, and there's still the main update to come, in July they say which should fix anything else hopefully

Some HDR TVs only allow HDR through streaming not hdmi, like this one. This has what has put me off you wouldn't be able to watch HDR disks in the future

I've noticed that some LG TVs only support HDR for streaming. Is this an HDMI issue?

Wouldn't venture into the world of 4k without proper HDR support, personally.

It looks like the M7000 is not HDR over HDMI just streaming so I would assume this is the same if it has HDR.

Many thanks.

Hisense... maybe emerging, but certainly ambitious. Main sponsor of Euro 2016 as well as UEFA competitions for the next couple of seasons.

Co-sponsors are: Adidas, Carlsberg, Coca-Cola, Continental, Hyundai-Kia, McDonald's, Orange, SOCAR and Turkish Airlines.

In terms of placement of a large TV, my view is that when you are seated, the horizontal centre line of the TV should be at (or slightly below) eyeline. Siting it above the fireplace will cause neck problems (as well as looking very odd! (IMO))

I've ordered mine, comes on Tuesday. I can't wait

I'm watching it from 330cm. Seems to be perfect distance for me.
I've upgraded from 50" so not that much of a change but if someone will come from 40" or less it will find it uncomfortable - screen will fell to big for a while.

User manual for this TV:

https://hisense.co.uk/uploads/download/20160614164128_ENHE65K5510UWTSUsermanual2016.pdf

Wow Am impressed at your ability to perceive the size of the room from the image. your psychic powers are amazing

And the seated distance from the screen is actually a lot further than the Optimum Distance for a set of this size.

You are comparing a 55" to this 65" one. The 55" is £100 more than this 65" Bit like comparing a ford fiesta to a ford focus!

Just measured- 137cm distance between the two feet

That nooks fantastic....... If you like that kind of chavvy TV that looks too big for the room its in.

Seems exactly like the numerous comments re Sony software on its Android TV's - Sony isn't a cheap Chinese brand!. All makes seem to have their problems you take pot luck as it seems even the same models can vary dramatically. I have a Sony 50" full HD android set and have none of the problems that many others have and I run KODI flawlessly too. I would not hesitate to get a Hisense when I next make a purchase and would love this set if I had the space for it!

Just buy a universal tabletop stand for a 60inch tv. My one needed slight modification to fit my previous 65inch this one may fit without mods. Pro signal now do one for 70inch via amazon for 50 notes

Having had a 65" Hisense K720 for 6 months recently I would advise anyone to tread carefully, they produce a great image, no question about that at all, sound quality was also superb, but despite being really good hardware it was let down by its software and non existent service from Hisense. Anyone buying a Hisense should expect features to not work properly, or at all sometimes, despite whats advertised, certainly on the K720 it was broken from the beginning, also the top end 910 set, Hisense kept false promise after false promise of firmware updates and still to this day they haven't appeared. Also motion handling on these isn't the best either.

You pays your money I guess, just be aware folks, great hardware, crap software and service.

Doesn't look like it have HDR. M7000 explicit says it have.​
I'll hold myself and wait for M7000 to get a bit cheaper. 55M7000 is already on it's £799.

I currently have the Hisense 43" 4K. I paid £299 from Argos and have to say the picture quality and features are up there with LG and Samsung. Well worth the money, I think Hisense will be a massive name in years to come. Just like 'Lucky Goldstar' was a cheap brand back in the day, but now lots of people wouldn't buy anything else.

What picture settings are you using please?

1: Wires and STBs (1x Openbox Sat unit 1x Nvidia Shield 1x Network Switch) are inside the fireplace surround along with a power unit, all wires are under the floorboard direct to the fireplace (2xSat 1xTV 2xNetwork & Power)

2: Soundbar is normally in the gap under the screen (Yamaha YSP Sound Projector) at the moment waiting for a replacement, the sound from this TV is great very good for a flat screen, and the TV has a Sub output I considered dumping the soundbar and just using the TV and a Sub, but will refit the Yamaha when it gets back

3: Compromise, I started talking about Atoms and drilling the Ceiling for Speakers etc and we came to a compromise of (She could redecorate and the current surround speakers and Amp would go, but I would get larger screen and soundbar instead)

STBs & Power etc all inside here, with a remote repeater


Compromise She got to decorate and I lost my Amp and Speakers in exchange for bigger screen and soundbar

This is why I'm trying to wait until next year to pick one up. By then the prices would come down a bit, hdr would be standard etc.

My 5 year old Panasonic 37" TV has just been written off by RS as unrepairable. It cost £560 when I bought it. They don't give a replacement at the value paid, but a set with comparable features (or better).

They're looking at offering me this as a replacement http://www.richersounds.com/product/tv---all/hisense/40m3300/hise-40m3300.

What do you think? Take it or push for a 'known' brand?

Please someone who owns one post up distance between stand legs please, if this fits on my tv cabinet then will order

There is normally a soundbar in the gap so the wires are normally hidden

A TV which should allow you to play games with a reasonable response time. I would even go to say that the likes of the Xbox Scorpio & PS4K will generate a LOT of 4K TV sales next year, so if your TV doesn't have the benefits of a lowish response rate, it will hurt sales in 2017.

Product listing says otherwise, seems it is local playback HDR only.

Err this has HDR?

Wow, beautiful mate. Would you mind if I asked the kind of minimum viewing distance you find comfortable with this? I'm thinking of going up to 60 or 65 inches but not sure if our reception would be too small to watch comfortably in.

If you are going to be spending this much, wait a bit longer and get one with HDR.

You will regret your purchase

I bought this from AO with the 10% code for £719.10. Best purchase on a tv I have ever made. It's a monster compared to my 47" LG and when fed 1080p content or higher it is absolutely stunning. 4k videos through Amazon Instant video app (inbuilt app) is HDR and looks incredible.

if you can find the space for this then go to it. I can post pics and videos if anyone wants me to?

Perfect Fit

Yes.

I did and I'm more than happy with it.

4K
HDR
Amazon Prime Video
Netflix
Wuaki
PLEX
Youtube + Youtube cast (something similiar to chromecast)
tunein

I have the 55" version of this. It blows my 2015 LG out of the water. Fantastic colour set, dark blacks and great for gaming. An absolute bargain. Could not recommend it more.

I totally agree with you. Neither would I...

Probably. I don't think it's wise to mount TVS above any heat source. Because it could have a direct impact over time. Don't expect the 5 years warranty to be honoured either if they suspect anything out of the ordinary.

Nothing but good reviews about this tv elsewhere from people who have purchased one. Price fluctuates from £699-999 seen over the past month or so. Stock sells very quickly. As regards using it for gaming I have no idea but if its generally a good tv the price is right as long as you can get away with having 65" on your wall without any complaints from your spouse lol

Thanks for the info. I'd like to do something similar. This may sound a silly question but if you turn the fire on, could this cause your tv to overheat?

Which would you rather buy this one or this: http://m.richersounds.com/#!/product/SONY-KD55X8509CBU ? TIA

What's the smart functions like on this set?

The usual trunking wasn't enough for my setup as sending antenna, ethernet and lots of hdmi cables would block it. I chiseled to the brick. Cut a square drain pipe in half and put it in there leaving a big opening at the back of TV and in the skirting board for cable access. Then cemented and plastered over. It does look really good now. I'll see if I can put a pic up via imgur later on

Yes. Samsung were awful until everyone moved onto flat panels. Had few of their crt TV show and they had serious banding issue. Plus other issue I forgot about. I sold my old lg 40" and sharp 50" so I can be allowed to buy one of these bad boys. Normally I wouldn't touch it. But with richer sounds 6yrs guarantee it's deformation worth it. I don't keep a TV for that long anyway so heat from me.

Hisense now is LG/Samsung 10 years ago.

what picture settings do you guys use for hisense 4k TV's?

I want this but need to know the response time as it needs to be a monitor as well :/

I have mounted a few Tv`s, the wife doesnt like me doing it as it takes me away from our usual pastimes.
I always think that the horizontal centre of the Tv should be at the eye height of a person sitting, sitting person ? mm too tired for anything but bed, no Tv in that room, just the wife.

the OCD in me couldn't deal with the non centred position of the TV up the wall!

[a] Where did you put the set top boxes and the wires
[b] How is the sound (noticed there is no sound bar here)
[c] I told my wife I wanted a setup like yours. TV over fireplace. She told me I was mad. How did you manage to convince yours :-) If you have a wife or OH.

Pet hate..

Its a few pounds for cable trunking you can paint to match your wall, hence hidden wires.

John Lewis says it has HDR and Richer Sounds says it doesn't. Anyone know for definite? If it does, I'll probably jump at this.

Good Performance with movement?

Well it is a T.V not a monitor..

I still think Samsung is rubbish

Yup

It wasn't that long ago that 'Samsung' and 'Lucky Goldstar' were fighting it out with Crown, Bush and Alba in the Argos catalogues and people said back then that they were cheap Korean rubbish!

Is Hisense any good ? 1.2billion Chinese people can't all be wrong ... :smiley:

What gamble ? 5 year warranty with probably best cs out there. If you don't like it send back for a refund ,hardly a gamble having a 5 year warranty.Buying any TV over 500 with 12m warranty, now that's a gamble .If it packs in in 5 years JL will refund 800 so that will buy you a 65 4k oled in 4 years time !! .Think about it competition like this will keep the so called big boys on their toes .yes?

Shame my TV cabinet is too small to stand this on. I need a TV with a stand in the middle ideally otherwise I would buy this in a heartbeat.

I see, John Lewis states it does

these guys sponsor the uefa euro 2016
with good marketing like that they will surely get to the top

Oh dear so wrong JL and rs warranties are parts and labour. No fix they refund or offer similar value TV.Who the hell offers parts only warranty on a TV unless hot point have suddenly started making TV s.

I always do my homework, but I don't take gambles

Ahh, enjoy then :wink:

doesn't have HDR

Hisense are not an emerging Chinese brand, they are a well established brand. Lived in Australia for years, where Hisense have a much larger presence than UK and they are not a 'crappy' brand at all. You'll pay a premium for a Samsung or LG badge, nevermind a Sony badge, and you'll get the same tech built in. I'd be surprised if they weren't built in the same factories in China/Korea/Taiwan.

The only thing that puts me off these sets is the input lag, they are useless for half serious FPS gaming :disappointed:

As a founding member nice to know something has raised you from your coma :smirk:

And your tv looks too big for where you've got it and you could have hid the wires a bit better.........Nice try though.

yes

Can you have these de badged?

Let me make a prediction. They will become a leading TV brand in the UK in the next couple of years. They are making a real impact against Samsung and LG. They offer very competitive sets but I would not consider them a cheap brand.

Oh, and I have absolutely nothing to do with them at all except carefully doing my homework and buying a 65" set based on price, quality and performance.

Hisense is the new Onkyo !

Emerging here and a new brand is not the same thing as a budget brand.

It would be like sticking to German marque cars as they are popular and assume reliability when the opposite is true and parts/labour are the most expensive

If you think Hisense is a poor brand then you are deluded. They offer incredible value for money and produce excellent sets with the latest tech. I've had a 55" curved 4K TV for 6 months and it's an amazing set. The number of people that comment on the quality of the image and the shock when I tell them I only paid £750.

John Lewis are the best for warranty, have some heat

They aren't an emerging brand, just because they are new to the European market, it's owned by the Chinese government, had a turnover of over 15 billon dollars in 2013, and makes items for other brands too.

I'd have a hisense over comparable priced "big brand" anyday of the week, a lot more for your money and for a lot of retailers to give 5 and 6 year warranties on them, shows they also have faith in their builds.

Heh heh an emerging Chinese brand. Maybe in the UK mate. Google and find out how large Hisense is in the world.

I was happy to drop a 1K on a Hisense. Do your homework!!

shahidali47 said "probably" therefore it must be true!

800 quid for an emerging Chinese brand. I'll stick to what I know

Cheap price for cheap make, don't get me wrong, its a good deal, but i'd rather pay a bit more for a better brand. These warranties are normally parts only, labour is expensive if fixable.

Ive had two panels fitted to my Samsung under johnlewis warranty never paid a penny for labour

I see RS have the HISENSE 65M5500 for sale at the same price. Not sure what the difference is between the two. Would be interested if anyone had some info/experience.

Very very good price for this size and HDR + 10 bit panel! I've just recently brought aye Samsung 43" HDR 4K tv for my room but this would be great for the living room!

Could anyone seriously drop £800 on a Hisense?

Yup 2 minutes on Google http://www.statista.com/statistics/267095/global-market-share-of-lcd-tv-manufacturers/

Does anybody know the width of the stand?

any links to support ur statement?

only recently heard of Hisense. Are they any good?

Enjoy razor-sharp 4K and colour-boosting HDR with Hisense’s awesome K5510. Backed by four-times the resolution of Full HD, this 10-bit set can play programmes and movies in beautiful High Dynamic Range.

HDR?

input lag? probably 1000ms

No good then
