I have this TV and here follows my review:

1. The picture is mad tyte. I watch everything in 4k now. If something is not broadcast in 4k, I cannot watch it.

2. The sound is average. Imagine putting a decent Bose soundbar under 3 feet of water. Or, if you don't have a soundbar, pretend you have ear damage from years of working in a factory. Many of you are working class so will probably be able to relate to this issue.

3. The size. It is 65 inches which as far as I know, is the largest TV I have ever owned. If you live in a small house or flat then maybe this isn't for you.

4. The price. You can't really complain can you? A lot of you will be able to get one of these with just one week's worth of your benefits. The rest you can spend on MacKenzie clothing and vaping liquids.

5. The box. As you can imagine, the box is very large. It's a proper pain taking it to the tip. Some of you may be able to throw it into a neighbour's garden.

At least it's not an unknown brand like Onkyo.

Here we go...

Got excited .... then noticed it was Hisense

Before the update mine refused to play 4K YouTube videos over both wired and wireless connections.

^ The update didn't upgraded the YouTube app to 4K playback, just performance enhancements.

Got the update tonight too, finally 4K YouTube! Yay.

​Yep, I too have received the update today, looks like Hisense found away to send a new panel "over the air update"

Received the HDR update today! - The 'newest version' is G04.22.-G0.825 and also 'improves EPG performance, YouTube performance and other bug fixes'.

Screenshot attached:

No problem. AO also put it back up to £899, from £799 .Seems their prices fluctuate based on their Sales, More stock to shift = lower price.I hope one or two go their self the TV at £759 with £40,00 off .Out of stock again.

Thanks for taking the time to reply. It looks like it out of stock. I assume this would also be the 2yr warranty, I think it's worth spending more to get the 5 from JL.

Same model is £799 in AO.Com.

Use the save £40 code i give you..You will get the tv for £759.The Code expires today though
.
http://ao.com/product/he65k5510uwts-hisense-tv-black-41636-108.aspx

CODE : 40AOTV

When I click on the deal link this is now £899 - is that a newer version of this model? I was thinking of buying it, but now feel like a mug because this was £750 just a few days ago..!

I am using sky Q on the hisense 65 K720 model and it's fantastic
UHD football and movies look incredible
I would assume there would be no problem with this set

Just been setting mine up, so far no issues with it - I don't feel robbed paying £749 for it with a five year warranty.

Of course they do. Keep taking the tablets

Having bought a 65M7000 and returned it I can categorically state NO THEY DO NOT!

And where did you get this juicy nugget of information? Think they'll really be upping their game if that's the case as their current quality control is a bit manky!!!

​

What is the difference of the m7000 range with the one on this post? The m7000 is on John Lewis for 1200£, are we hoping for a discount soon?

The new
m7000 series 7 range of hisense apparently blow the LG and Samsung Tvs out of the water on quality and price. The older ranges aren't quite as good.

​Check the delivery date. I'm trying to find one in store to check out first. Seems a bit crazy to blow £1200 in at blindly.
I like the way they put the rec price over £1500, it's actually £1199 so their alls pulling a fast one lol.
Thanks anyway

lol you mean like this - http://www.richersounds.com/productlistmanu/ALL/ONKY
Onkyo have been around for years , they make some great home theatre products..

​Installed the update a couple of days ago but there are still issues. 4k still not working as it should

OOS.

was it from the same USB stick? maybe the read speed of the usb stick couldnt keep up with the 4k content you were playing

Check out the AVforums, there's an update out now, that corrects this and adds HDR

Back to £799 :-(

We bought a 1080p Hisense for the meeting room at work. Very impressive although the remote is bobbins. Would need it to be 100 inches to notice the difference on 4k though at the distance we sit.

Will pull the trigger on a 4K HDR at this size & price one the content is more common. 2 years then...

Delivery from Tues 27th Sept apparently...

Onkyo is part of Pioneer and there is nothing wrong with their amplifiers.

(no I don't work for them or Hisense)

Not from what I can see it doesn't have HDR. It really depends what you want from a TV. If you want 4K HDR then look elsewhere. Add a nice sound bar (Sony HT-XT3 are good) and either a 4K upscaler blu ray player, or a 4K player, or wait for the new Xbox one S 4K console (end of this month) and it will be fine. Make sure you don't use the out of the box picture settings (there are websites which advise you of the best settings for picture quality) and you will be fine. Will you see an amazing difference between 4K and 4K HDR? Not really, think of the step up from 720p to 1080p - there isn't really an amazingly wide eyed difference between those two but if you are stepping up from 1080p to 4K you will see a big difference as long as your source material is of high quality.
But for the price you get what you pay for and Hisense is a huge brand in China but read the reviews first to make sure it is the right TV for you.

It was the "London City" store.

Back too £799 on JL now.

Forget that, it's back too £799 on JL now lol, oh well back to the 7000 search

​I've got 3, prestwich, Stockport, and Manchester City centre. They all have me the same excuse. Which store have you the discount? I'll order via the phone :wink:

​thanks buddy is that with John Lewis or richer sounds?

No stock till mid September, Check online again around 15th you should find it.

Hisense is its own company. Hisense only own the brand rights in America and purchased the sharp TV Manufacturing facility in Mexico

Stay on topic (the deal) and no personal insults please. Posts removed.

That's nearly £60k of stock they've been able to shift. Wish I could do that in a year.

​Yes true, and only 2 in stock... Amazing how quickly 78 of the 80 units are sold in less than 2 days.

Strange, as I even got them to pricematch and beat Costco, who were only giving a 5 year warranty, a couple of months ago for a Samsung UE40KU6400. Just sounds like you've got a crap RS store near you.

Back to £799

Hisense = Sharp

Have to feed the kids, no HDR for them.

Oh dear me this deal keeps giving :confused:

Honestly who knows. I'm guessing the upgrade will just give it support for HDR10 (fixed metadata) which is currently the choice of Bluray Ultra, Amazon and Netflix here in the UK.
I would guess it won't support Dolby Vision (variable metadata) as that is hardware based.
Not sure if it will support HLG but chances are you will have bought a new TV by the time anybody in the UK uses it.

If like me you are too cheapskate to pay for premium services then HDR is not really a concern. :smiley:

So this is classed at an ultra HD premium tv once the HDR software download arrives? Being that it has a ten bit panel

Anyone have an idea where the hisense ​65m7000 can be purchased from? seems to be outta stock everywhere!!

The Onkyo comments are the best thing about this site.

This review is a masterpiece

The 65M5500 and 65K5510 are exactly the same even down to the software just different colour.

The 65M7000 is a totally different TV & panel altogether. The M7000 has Hisense ULED technology which has higher contrast ratio, Higher Peak Brightness, Local Dimming, Wide Colour Gamut, Increased Refresh rate etc.

It also has a brushed metal bezel.

I've recently dealt with John Lewis regarding a faulty TV, I found their customer service to be pretty disappointing having been lied to and misinformed on numerous occasions and in the end wasted three days waiting in for repair people that didn't show up. When someone did eventually show up they couldn't fix my TV sadly. I was eventually refunded in full plus a little goodwill for them messing me around.

Is the difference between them 2 models and H65M7000 just a software update then?

Buy away then

With respect, I did a bit of research and found that the internet had better things to say about the RS aftercare than the JL aftercare. Otherwise I would've paid the slight premium for JL. Each to their own, though.

The 65k5510 & 65M5500 are fully Ultra HD certified and 10bit panels.

HDR compatible but just need a software update to activate this function.

When you choose the picture mode e.g. User - Cinema , PC/Game it will have another function for HDR

​HDR can only be achieved on a 10 Bit panel, the 65K5510 has a 10 Bit panel. why wouldn't a firmware update allow HDR from an external source?

Hi Pacman, the 65M5500 and 65K5510 are exactly the same TV. I have seen people say the 65M5500 is an older model this is incorrect.

The only difference is the colour of the bezel 65M5500 silver / 65K5510 Black

Both are HDR compatible which will be activated via a download which is due to be released by end of Sept.

The update for the M7000 HDR activation has already started to roll out

is this a backlit tv or edge lit? Cant find anything online

Ok, I'm really confused. I'm not a TV expert so I'll really would thank some clarify. Does it have HDR or not? What difference would it make if it didn't? If it doesn't have it, is it something that can be done with a software update?

If it doesn't carry the Ultra HD Premium branding, it really is a pointless purchase. Just buying 4K for 4K's sake is pouring money down the drain - it'll just be an expensive 1080p set. Don't say you weren't warned.

No they don't. Sharp is owned by Foxconn. Hisense only bought a factory (TV production) and licencing to use the Sharpe branding in the America's.

Very surprised at the negative comments on this deal. Not everyone is hung up on HDR - most will be quite happy without it and I cant find a better TV for the same price or less at 65 inches.

I know you got 1 year extra warranty, but which one is better wrt warranty claims... JL or RS?

​I asked about this exact model, problem is, I've read on a number of occasions that hisense have been promising this update for a few months now

Hi Jonathan,

Thank you for the email and enquiry. Yes, this model is a 4K UHD Television. There is currently an over the air update for this model to make it HDR which is due to be completed by the end of September.

I hope this helps.

Kind Regards,

Hisense UK

​Sigh, the Ultra HD Premium branding isn't just HDR. It also specifies Rec. 2020 10-bit colour and improved audio. Does this model meet all these specs? If it doesn't carry the Ultra HD Premium branding, then it's an expensive lottery, and as such an expensive 1080p TV that attempts 4K.

http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/136329-what-is-ultra-hd-premium-and-why-does-it-matter-the-4k-hdr-badge-explained

I got Richer Sounds to price BEAT for £10 less with the 6 year warranty - they offered me it for £739.95, but I needed next day delivery so that added £14.99, but then I got 1.25% cashback on my AMEX bringing it down to £745.50 - So I got it over £4 cheaper, one year longer warranty and I'm going to get it tomorrow!

Are you ok mate? You ask lots of questions and then answer them as if you know.

Strange

John Lewis product description says 10 bit panel

High Dynamic Range Local Playback
Forays into colour-boosting High Dynamic Range (HDR) have begun, and Hisense have followed suit. With its 10-bit panel, this set can show over a billion individual colours to deepen your view and shows shades you’ve never seen in home entertainment before. Play beautiful HDR content on your K5510 via USB, and experience the new era of television.

I have this TV and here follows my review:

1. The picture is mad tyte. I watch everything in 4k now. If something is not broadcast in 4k, I cannot watch it.

2. The sound is average. Imagine putting a decent Bose soundbar under 3 feet of water. Or, if you don't have a soundbar, pretend you have ear damage from years of working in a factory. Many of you are working class so will probably be able to relate to this issue.

3. The size. It is 65 inches which as far as I know, is the largest TV I have ever owned. If you live in a small house or flat then maybe this isn't for you.

4. The price. You can't really complain can you? A lot of you will be able to get one of these with just one week's worth of your benefits. The rest you can spend on MacKenzie clothing and vaping liquids.

5. The box. As you can imagine, the box is very large. It's a proper pain taking it to the tip. Some of you may be able to throw it into a neighbour's garden.

Yeah, right, you just got sold some unknown Chinese brand and try to justify your bad purchase.

I emailed hisense with regards to the hdr,

Hi Jonathan,

Thank you for the email and enquiry. Yes, this model is a 4K UHD Television. There is currently an over the air update for this model to make it HDR which is due to be completed by the end of September.

I hope this helps.

Kind Regards,

Hisense UK

​​And they cost how much? You go from an £800 tv to £2500 and see a difference in quality, I'm shocked :wink:
Find it strange why if you can spend that why you would ever have bought the hisense in the first place.
The £1200 65" 7000 would give the Samsung a run for its money and that's not even top of their range.
With that cash why not buy OLED that would make your Samsung look like a toy

​No, because the tv panel does not have the physical capabilities. Buy the 7000 the should be able to run HDR reasonably well.

​Richer sounds near me always refuse any price match I've ever asked them because they don't match their 6 year warranty. Don't know of any other retailer that does do 6 year tbh so richer sounds price match is a tad useless. John Lewis on the other hand will price match from anything as long as the price is cheaper.

Initially I was very interested in this television. My interest soon cooled. There have been some reports of banding issues, clouding, and light bleed, image judder.Could be a bad batch panels i dont know

Remember you are still parting with the best part of a grand for this TV.It should be retailing for under £500, to be worth the outlay.

You want a good TV on a budget, for £1100 you can pick up the Samsung UE65KU6000, packed with features, including HDR, cloud gaming

No brainier, £1100 on 65 inch Sammy, or £700 on a budget Hisense.

65M5500 vs 65K5510?
When i spoke to Richer Sounds guy regarding these two a couple of months ago, he suggested the only difference was the colour of the case. Anyone have anything else to add, as I am interested in getting the better one.

​No, hisense own sharp, and use that brand name in USA

worth looking into the M5500 version as well which is slightly newer version. at the moment the two are the same, but the M series promises HDR by October via software update.

richer sound, argos, AO sell that for abit more, 799 at the moment.

isn't this the 2015 model? I thought the 65m5500 was the latest? been looking at this one for a while - http://www.argos.co.uk/m/static/Product/partNumber/5747241.htm_2?cmpid=COJUN&catalogId=10001&cjsurferid=178803278422178026%3A2Nu9YxHTBxob&_%24ja=tsid%3A11674%7Cprd%3A5676939&storeId=10151&referredURL=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.argos.co.uk%2Fstatic%2FProduct%2FpartNumber%2F5747241.htm_2&referrer=COJUN

​Even hisense don't consider this a HDR set, it does not have the physical spec for brightness. Even the 7000 model which I'm looking for does not meet the 1000 nit requirement but does manage to handle HDR input. This is also only an 8 but panel so does not have the colour palette needed for HDR. This tv is not badged or advertised as HDR unlike the 7000 which also is waiting for the update to run through HDMI.

Speakers are likely to be crap.

so is this full 4k hdr? also, has anyone used sky q uhd through this? I've heard other brands having problems?

NEED HELP!!

other than the brand "Hisense" is there anything wrong with it?

its the HDR real HDR or fake/half HDR as in 8bit or 10bit?

its for my parents and i dont think they care about known brand names like samsung, LG, or etc!

thanks for all your help in advance

Me drove Auudi, but me think u funny huh huh huh, me like :smiley:

Will this get HDR? cant see the argos info

Please share more words of wisdom.

Hisense are not a sister company to Sharp... Hisense are owned by the chinese government and are the 3rd largest TV manufacturer in the world, behind Samsung and LG, and are growing at a massive rate. Being the most popular brand in china, they have only just recently started selling in the western market.

Hisense bought Sharp last year, and used the Sharp brand for their cheap TVs (smaller HD ready TVs) in the USA only - but they are now focusing on building the Hisense brand instead.

Hisense are on target for becoming a serious competitor to Samsung (who are the current largest manufacturer).

what is HDR?

Thanks OP. Ordered

Paired with this thing from Onkyo?

http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/onkyo-tx-sr444-7-1-5-1-2-dolby-atmos-dts-hd-4k-ultra-hd-hdcp-2-2-bluetooth-100-watts-2456477

cold no multiplayer

This TV is ok for the average person, my Mum has one and loves it, but all she does is watch TV from it and wanted something she could see from her garden. However if you're expecting amazing colours, viewing angles, low latency, tons of settings and software features, HDR and proper 4K..... then no, buy from another brand.

I was hoping that but beginning to think the K is last years model & the M is 2016.

Has anyone tried a Richer Sounds pricematch - as they currently have it for £799? I imagine they should give it for £740, as they will match it and knock £10 off. Also, they will give a 6 year warranty.
http://www.richersounds.com/product/tv---all/hisense/65k5510/hise-65k5510

He does know this but I bet half the ppl who like the comment think he is being serious.

True....there sound systems are very highly rated.

bought a Hisense 58k700 a few months ago. The picture is superb but 4k does not work when inputting from bt ultra hd box and their support is rubbish about the issue. Every month an update is promised and every month it does not appear.

I think Jez might actually be Jeremy Kyle the TV presenter , he's soooo Anti-Social , sounds like he's letting off some steam after recording for Next week's show.

An Audi driver cannot really comment on the quality of someone's humour. At best, someone who drives an Audi has only just got the mental capacity to breathe

"Interesting...you have a chimney made out of Amazon cardboard."

Cruel but hilarious :0

What is one of these like for gaming on , how many HZ is the tv ?

It cannot even keep up with normal telly, never mind games

wow very tempting

What's the point of posting such nonsense about a TV you own, you clearly know nothing. None of the bold type is true and all you end up achieving is misleading people into buying an average TV though misinformation.

TV's do come with 2.0a and I would say Hisense are blowing smoke right up your ..... This TV will never be able to play HDR from a uhd bluray player.

Got excited .... then noticed it was Hisense

Check out the input lag if you're looking to game on this :confused:

Anyone know the ms response time for gaming mode?

John Lewis warranty is not what it used to be. I have got a spider in my LG plasma and they refused to do anything about it

Sony STR-DB895D 5.1 system here, until it breaks I cannot justify another.

I am currently looking at a new TV as I still have the Samsung LE40R74 720p TV, I was thinking about going for the Samsung KS7000

You on the other hand, have succeeded marvelously at being miserable.

For me it was a poor, low quality humor from poor, low quality person...

...and me

...and me.

made me chuckle.

Nope. The kids bedroom's are all above our sitting room, which has a 65 inch Sony in it :smiley: Can't crack the sound up too loud after they've gone to bed or they come down and complain :smile:

This isnt the HDR model. This has been at £799 on amazon for a while. The HDR one is £1199 on amazon.

every brand was unkown at one point even well known branded stuff can be crap you know !!

This is a great set, punches well above its price band.

Sound is also good,

Feed it a good signal and it produces spectacular results.

Built in Freesat & Freeview, (Personally think the picture is better on the Sat input)

SD is shoddy but what would you expect upscaling SD to 65" 4k.

Honestly dont think there is better value around in this size.

Both Amazon and Netflix output in 4k no problem.

The latest firmware update has completely changed the menu layout and smart apps and everything seems smoother if a little less well laid out

But it really is ruddy huge.

I'll have a pint of whatever you're on :sunglasses::smile:

I was slightly concerned myself hanging a tv that heavy on a card board chimney - isn't that a fire hazard as well?

Tempting, but after seeing OLED in the flesh I (and how much those sets have fallen in the last couple of years) I can't help but feel that waiting just a tad longer would be more than worth it.

Also, are the people who think TV speakers are 'good' trolling? They might be slightly less garbage than some others, but ALL TV speakers are awful. Simple physics, I'm afraid.

Just out of curiosity, what are you guys looking at on a 4k TV?
Does netflix have 4k content?
how does BBC/ITV/Channel 4 720p/1080i signals look like on a 4K TV?
is it slightly better than a full HD one?

Don't go there. I knew this old lady who swallowed a fly....

​have you tried tempting it out with a few flies?

Thing is you'll never get decent sound out of a flat panel unless it has a built in subwoofer. This seems better than most with two 15w speakers and not the usual 10w setup.

James is a joker! Yes, they won't be necessarily as good as a decent soundbar, but only due to the range of sound which a dedicated sound system can produce. This has nothing to say the clarity of sound from the TV will be bad.
Mainly, do you want more bass/volume/all around cinema feel?
If you just want to watch TV with the odd movie and bit of gaming, you're probably alright with the stock sound on a decent TV.

​I love this guy!

​Onkyo's tastier though :wink:

Doesn't seem to support HDR which is a deal breaker for a 4K TV for me, shame as looked like a reasonable budget set.

I'm a clueless idiot who bashed this, that's because I bought one and it's rubbish. My Panasonic plasma, which it replaced , was miles better.
I suggest if you want to see a top notch high spec TV you go and look at a samsung 8000 series, which is what I ended up with.
Amazing picture

​Agreed, but the ones in here are actually class leading with its Total Sonics surround sound. But still can't beat a surround sound system.

Purchased this set 2 months ago from Richer Sounds. Paid £769.99 with a 6 year warranty. Amazing set for the money, take no notice of the clueless idiots who are brand bashing. This is a top notch high spec TV that takes a royal dump on my Panny TX-P50GT 50" that's now been dethroned and moved to the bedroom.
65", 10 Bit panel, 4K UHD, HDR, yes IT IS HDR just because Hisense haven't paid the UHD Alliance for the "HDR Premium" logo doesn't mean this set does not meet their standards. I've emailed Hisense regarding a firmware update for the HDMI outputs that are currently 2.2 (x 2 off being HDCP 2.2) and they have confirmed a update will be released in the future (didn't say when) to upgrade them to 2.0a, the requirement to play HDR content from an external source such as a 4K Blu-ray player, Games Console ect.
To my knowledge you can't even purchase a set in the UK market with 2.0a connections fitted as Standard.This basically means all these HDR Premium branded TV's can't play HDR content from an external source, only via local playback until they too have a firmware update to HDMI 2.0a.

I bought the Hisense 65M7000 a month or 2 ago and it's superb, and though I'm no expert I've always bought quality TVs, Kuros and the like. I know it's a different set but it's the same brand and the build quality is excellent.

:smile: hot deal btw

I bought this TV and immediately regretted it.
Rubbish tinny sound and terrible picture.
The picture is superb if it's a still picture but as soon as the camera pans, even slowly, everything becomes a blur until the camera stops panning then it all goes in focus again.
And don't even try and play xbox on it.
Luckily I got a lightning strike a week after I got it and I could splash out on a good telly

I love a bargain, but this ain't no bargain

I haven't read all the comments so exuse me of im repeating something thats already been said. Brand doesn't mean anything,it seems not so long ago people were thinking the same thing about lg tvs. N without goin into all the other valid reasons why this deal is a no brainer, 5 YEAR GUARANTEE u cant go wrong.

Have you thought of tipping it upside down and shaking it with a friend (still the TV) or buying a cat?

Maybe covered under accidental damage if you crack the screen trying to rescue the spider?

Of course that isn't to be covered under any warranty in the world, why would you even think to contact them?

"onkyo" ??? Did you make that name up :stuck_out_tongue:

Just ordered one. Whether this has full HDR support or not, its a pretty solid deal even more so with a John Lewis warranty.

Can you hook this up to a PC? Chroma 4 4 4?

​To be fair James, stop kissing Dan's hash.

Ok, fair enough. How long ago did you buy it? If JL are still not listening to you, then you need to start deploying your rights.

Do a little bit of reading up on Consumer Rights 2015. Find your receipt or credit card statement and if you did use the latter, then start with them even if you feel it is a long-shot. Regardless, also look up Section 75. Good luck.

Have this to for almost 4 months, great TV

product description states "hdr - no"?

Here's a more detailed link to the Hisense website, gives a better description of the TV than the John lewis site, eg; USB 3 connection as well.Hisense 65K5510 specs

To be fair, he is right. you cant fit 'good' speakers in the super flat tvs, theres no room. and while yours may be fine, they wont compare to even a moderate soundbar. just physics and such!

​actually being serious here.....big spider walking inside the glass panel, John Lewis refuse to do anything. Useless!

​Clown.

​Is that why my tv speakers are perfectly good? ****.

I would love this, do they do 12 months interest free? bad timing for me financially looks like nest time round

Well ok, if you say so. if one is buying a budget TV why would they necessarily have 7.1 let alone good 7.1

I don't like bragging about it but I'm kind of a genius..

this is super tempting!
Currently have a 60" Samsung plasma 3D telly, which is like 4yrs old now. Its a normal Full HD telly....
I watch .MKV and .MP4 files on it through 2 media players (1080p)....
So I guess this would defo work out to be an upgrade in that sense ?
and yeah, I Read and heard good things about HiSense, getting there name out there with solid equipment...

now.............. could I sell my Samsung for £500 on ebay I wonder ?! :smile:
And 1 more thing, is LED better than LCD ? Plasma is the best for smooth framerate, no idea what LED is like ?

how do you figure that?

Their TV's are terrible, but they make lovely Yoghurt!..:confused:

Heat Added.

5 year warranty, great deal. moving in a few weeks and have a nice big living room to fill :smiley:

Ive got this on order from amazon, should I cancel for this one? h65m5510 or h655500 thanks in advance

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01E1QNGW2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

​onkyo ? sounds like a yogurt brand :stuck_out_tongue:

i can't find this tv on the JL website? Only via the link above

gr8 b8 m8, 8/8

great deal- ordered

Nice TV, shame HDR is only available via USB!

I got the 58" 4K model and the picture is great, puts my previous Panny LCD to shame and that cost over £1200.

As for the speakers (on mine) they are ace, in fact I am selling my soundbar cos i don't need it now.

Might upgrade to this now - heat added.

I have got a Hisense TV from 6 years ago that is still going strong.

great deal
