Further details over at the Hisense site with a video showing that it is HDR despite AO saying that it isn't (HDR available through USB playback at the moment but hopefully a firmware update will come along to change the HDMI 2.0 ports to 2.0a to support full HDR functionality over HDMI).
Of course it's cheap and yes the company is based in China.

Is this a better set than the Digihome TV from Tesco?
I bought this from the Amazon Warehouse as new for £250 two days ago and I think that it is pretty good. What is annoying me at the moment is that whenever I switch on my PVR I lose the TV signal. Hopefully this is to do with the HDMI cable and I will see what happens when I replace it but everything else seems pretty cool to me.
I had it in back order from Amazon for £379 so I would have snapped it at this price.

Not going near LG next time I buy.
Nothing but trouble with the one I have, and LG don't want to know/help.
Football is almost unwatchable on it, due to bleeding/banding.
Thought it might just be our TV, but was in John Lewis couple of weeks ago, and a 4K TV was running a demo and had the exact same problem.

14 Jul 161#31
Yes it is - it was £335 when I bought it. It does the job for us at that price. It can vibrate a bit with certain frequencies of sound, but we fitted a stand which had the benefit of solving that for us. The smart features are ok too - I haven't seen many others to compare, but there's definitely room for improvement there. It's not an important feature for us anyway.

Good price, poor quality tv if you are used to a Panasonic or Samsung. I bought one a few weeks from Amazon and sent it back as I wasn't happy with it. The blacks are shadowy and grainy even on hd programs the contrast/brightness goes up and down constantly save your money and get a better quality tv.

Got a 50" hisense 4k from Amazon warehouse for £288 recently.

Hisense is definitely a brand worth considering

Well I can't fault the 43" version. Not sure what your on about with contrast /brightness going up and down. I have found it does need a bit of tweaking to get the best picture, but once done it's great. Viewing angles aren't the best I've found.

I'm giving a review about my experience of this exact model that's what I'm on about an if you look at the comments when this was sold through Amazon three weeks ago I'm not the 1st to notice the brightness going up and down issue. So whilst your 43" Hisense model might be good mine wasn't my 4 year old Panasonic plasma give better colour, contrast and sharpness.

Currently own a 50" 4K TV from Hisense, I was sceptical at first due to the brand (only owned Sony and Samsung tv's before) I would buy a Hisense without a second thought in the future. Brilliant TV for the money, fantastic picture quality lots of connectivity, only disappointment for me was the lack of 4K on the YouTube app.

I was a brand snob until I bought the 55 inch version of this tv.
Put an Nvidia Shield with it for 4k along with the built in Netflix and Amazon 4k apps and the quality is jaw dropping.
Special mention for the sound on this tv - its a little thicker than most tv's that you can hang on your wall which means much improved sound quality.
I got the 55inch from AO when they were giving the £50 for removing old crt's from your house a few weeks ago - worked out at £409 delivered.
You have to play with the picture settings a LOT - but its worth it - I still have a 60inch Samsung in my lounge - but I actually prefer watching this set.
Just Buy It.

My opinion is it's not bad for £330 which is what I paid for it. YouTube displays '4K' under 4K videos but they don't play in 4K and none of the apps can be individually updated. It's running a pretty old version of iPlayer and Netflix too. Very frustrating. The contrast change whilst watching anything can be frustrating and i have found no way to turn it off. Doesn't happen during HDMI/casting videos. However, I have tried casting a few 4K demo videos and the picture quality is amazing. Xbox 360 games look good too however still haven't found a perfect picture setting. Also any changes I make revert back to the default after the I restart the T.V. Any help with this and updating the apps would be great!

As far as I know you just need a 4k rated HDMI 2.0 cable for this to work. I don't think Netflix supports HDR yet anyway. As far as the upcoming PS4 Pro and the XBox One S go, I think they use the HDR10 standard, which this TV is being updated to.

I remember when HTC launched in this country this very community was bashing the name, It wasnt long ago Lucky Goldstar was considered a cheap brand, who were Samsung in the 90's?

I had it in back order from Amazon for £379 so I would have snapped it at this price.
Nothing but trouble with the one I have, and LG don't want to know/help.
Football is almost unwatchable on it, due to bleeding/banding.
Thought it might just be our TV, but was in John Lewis couple of weeks ago, and a 4K TV was running a demo and had the exact same problem.

It has a fantastic picture, I find myself staring in amazement at the detail that it has compared to my old tv (A very nice 47" 1080p philips)
Hisense is definitely a brand worth considering
Maybe it's somewhere in the manual?
8 years old and still going strong
I set it up using this calibration video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=alv0BcSteDU (Not same model but same menus/controls, did help)
BTW, Hisense bought out Sharp US tv business. When I lived in China Hisense was everywhere.
Heat from me on this deal
Lucky Goldstar is what is now abbreviated as LG.
You work for a council by any chance ? :laughing:
Put an Nvidia Shield with it for 4k along with the built in Netflix and Amazon 4k apps and the quality is jaw dropping.
Special mention for the sound on this tv - its a little thicker than most tv's that you can hang on your wall which means much improved sound quality.
I got the 55inch from AO when they were giving the £50 for removing old crt's from your house a few weeks ago - worked out at £409 delivered.
You have to play with the picture settings a LOT - but its worth it - I still have a 60inch Samsung in my lounge - but I actually prefer watching this set.
Just Buy It.

I'd suggest a PS4 or XboxOne instead..
HiSense bought Sharp USA's TV production factories and sole rights to the use the Sharp brand name in the USA on TV's....
Rest of Sharp products in the USA and globally are still Sharp (other than European TV's which are made by UMC in Slovakia and labelled Sharp under license)
Only a few manufacturers use Android as their OS.
a HDMI cable from poundland will work just as well as an expensive HDMI cable...even with 4k
It was just a joke; used the wrong emoji- cool your beans.
So I would say a definite yes, although the Philips is a little cheaper.
Just need a VESA mount.
Limited apps but Youtube, Netflix are included.
It's not a 3D TV.
Will wait and see if it comes back online like it did earlier before expiring.
Either AO has a rather quick revolving stock door or something about their stock system is not quite right.
I'll bet that the Hisense factory can't manufacture them fast enough to fulfill demand.
My time and date settings are correct btw.
Just got off the phone with the Hisense tech dept and they confirm that the panel is 10 bit, not 8 and that a firmware update is definitely coming later in the year to update the 2 HDMI 2.0 ports to 2.0a to support HDR there, as well as over USB.

They also recommended against installing the French Firmware, as it will disable any future OAT updates.
