:wink:

I got mine last month from JL with full price of 699.
Is it possible to get some refund ?

You'll find they come as either short throw or long throw - short throw gives a large picture from a short distance, whereas long-throw needs to be further back. They normally have a zoom and lens shift so you can adjust the picture from where you have the projector positioned, however, if the zoom isn't flexible (as per my projector) then you really need to think about where you put it and how big a screen you need (or if you're going to just project onto a wall).

If I was to get a projector, I probably won't want no more than 80 to 84 inches diagonal.

My current projector is an option a hdx141, which is a great budget model. You need to be careful with throw distances when you have a confined space as some of the lower end models don't offer much flexibility.
Picture quality is great, but bear in mind the increased size of each pixel.

Also purchased via John Lewis. I've received a 5 year guarantee already. All I need to do is to email them once it arrives with my case number to process a refund to take it to £620.

Thanks OP

Yep £620, Hisense offer a 2 year warranty and John Lewis give you a 5 year repair or breakdown guarantee.

Cheers got John Lewis to price match, comes Thursday.

With a screen that big, I bet you don't go cinema no more. I saw the Epson tw5300 on YouTube and the picture seems to be really good which is why am debating if to get a 55 /58 4k TV or a 1080p projector.

Well, it all depends on your eyesight and the size of screen as well as the definition.

The increase in definition that we're seeing in TV is partly driven by the increase in screen-size - as the screen gets bigger lower definition becomes more apparent and looks worse (hence a lot of large screen TV's looking rubbish with standard definition TV broadcasts. If we still had 28" TV's then the increased definition wouldn't be necessary.

If you have perfect eyesight (i.e. 20:20) then there is a (less than scientific) diagram doing the rounds that gives a good indication of the distance to rationalisation ratio. The basic gist is the further away you sit the larger the screen to see the effects of HD, and especially UHD......the problem is that the drop off is quite sudden, but generally you don't really notice when you're watching something as the content should be taking your attention - however, if you suddenly get up and walk towards the screen then you see it come back and notice how good it looks.

120" HD through a projector just looks awesome (I've had a projector since the Panny PTA200 in about 2000), but you won't get the blacks that TV owners seem to go mad about.....and it's not quite as practical, especially in daytime viewing.

Cracking TV. Have had this model for 6 months or so and have been highly impressed. I paid £750 through JL with 3 years warranty. This is a very good deal indeed. Heat added!

​or amstrad!

would I see a massive difference is pic quality.I've got a 2011 Panasonic plasma or should I just stick with it

What would be the ideal distance to sit from TV to see the full benefits of 4k. Do you think a 55 or 58 inches is too big for a room of 2.8 and 3.8.

​Think your confusing TVs for yogurts pal. Personally I'd go for a Matsui every time :smirk:

already posted last week http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/hisense-m7000-55-620-10-crampton-moore-2607594#comments

never a real 10bit panel they cost ££££ http://www.displayspecifications.com/en/model/1beb5f1 like most 4k hdr tvs at this price point

The 4k TV is far superior to the 1080p projector of you sit at the right distance. I sit too far from my TV to get the full benefit of 4k, which is why i think the projector gives more 120" wow!

a simple explanation of the difference between 8 bit (all Hisense TVs) and 10 bit colour
http://www.zero-friction.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/4K-Malas-image-2.png

I have a PS4 Pro and would like to buy a True 10bit HDR TV (not 8bit + FRC). Samsung 55/60 KS7000 is my target, if possible 55KS8000 (The stand is a lot better for my needs). When can I expect a price drop for those TVs?

On that note, is the difference between 8bit+FRC and True 10bit negligible enough, or is it worth holding out for a True 10bit HDR TV?

​hisense is a big brand

8 bit + frc not "Wow"

I was very close to buying this TV but the energy rating (B) is pretty poor.....getting an A+++ TV will save money in the long run.

there's an LG 55" at 629 from currys would rather pay the extra for the name

The room is 2.8m wide by 3.8m long. In your opinion since you have both. Which is more superior in picture quality: your projector or 4kTV. I am guessing your projector is 1080p.

Debating if to get an hdr 4k TV or a 1080p projector even though I am only an occasional movie and sports watcher. I wanna ask few questions if I may to distinguish between the picture quality of 4ktv and 1080p projector.

Would the image quality of hisense 4k hdr 55m7000 be far superior to Epson tw5300 and vise versa.

Is 55 inches TV big enough to enjoy movie on?

Is it okay to get 4k hdr TV now or wait for the technology to improve further?

Hisense 55m7000 or hisense 58kec730

This or the Samsung 7000 49"?

It does indeed have a 10 bit panel but the 8+FRC classification is also correct the reason is that the M7000 cannot process a 10 bit signal the t-con board Hisense use can only handle 8 bit.

​Nope its a 10bit panel. You are confusing it with m5500 :-)

Got this last week in same deal. They do PayPal finance too. Absolutely cracking telly. Blows my 8 year old panny plasma away. Get it and stop debating.

only issue I have with mine is green sports on dark screens :disappointed:
solid set though madness how long it's lasted

still waiting for my ten year old Samsung 50" plasma to die... it won't .... can't justify till it does

Never heard of it, is that a Warehouse

Pretty sure they make there own panels.

Personally I'd go for an Onkyo

:wink:

I manage HDR fine with my 65inch M7000 via PC - Hitman, Shadow Warrior 2 etc. I believe it's less nits than top end sets but it's almost painfully bright (no exaggeration) even on low intensity. Fantastic set.

​8 bit + frc

anyone one know if this issue has been resolved --

There were also some frustrating compatibility issues regarding the set’s HDR support for some devices. Though the 55M7000UWG worked fine when connected to Panasonic’s 4K Blu-ray player, we were completely unable to display HDR images from the Xbox One S.

Hisense has since released a firmware update which is said to fix this compatibility problem, though we were unable to test it out during our review period

Richer Sounds wouldn't price match for me because Crampton & Moore only offer a two year guarantee. They did knock £20 off as a gesture of goodwill though, so the eventual £40 difference for an extra 4 year guarantee was worth it imo

seems a good deal but especially with the specification and I need a new TV as my 6yr old panasonic plasma sound is going. am going to wait for the next generation to bring prices down

good price, however i ended up returning two of mine due to various faults, checkout the thread on av forums loads of info on there

Awesome TV at a scorching price :smiley: Full 10bit HDR as well Wow:)

Heats!

I'm trying to hold out for the (hopefully) price drop in the next few months when the new batch of TV's come out but very tempted to get a price match & go for this now. Cheers op

Cheers OP , I'm getting more & more tempted to upgrade my 4 year old LG 47 inch especially with deals like this :smile:
