No wonder Rumbelows went tits up! :smile:

Loughborough guy has a new username?

I've got this tv and to be honest I'm not that impressed. Colours and viewing angles arnt good, screen is too reflective for me. Would think it's just a bad one I've got but had two as the first has a faulty PSU that constantly clicked.
Biggest pain is the smart features, no way of re-ordering apps or as far as I can see check for updates at all, Plex is terrible, I have to open and close it anywhere from 2-10 times to use it otherwise it says 'no server' even though no other devices have issues.

Most people have great reviews on it though so maybe I am just expecting too much.

So mine just arrived from JL. November build with chirping noise - going straight back for a swap. Typical - I always always get the duff item :disappointed: .

Indeed thats wrong also this should be expired now as price is £599 + £17 delivery.

The cheapest deal now is this one:
http://www.prcdirect.co.uk/hisense-h55m7000-55-smart-4k-ultra-hd-uled-tv.html

This is same price but free delivery, then use John Lewis to price match to get 5yo warranty.

The headline is for a M7000 (top of range) model but the link for the RicherSounds price match is for a different cheaper model M5500.

What model? If it's using the Neo Panel stick with it...

I thought SamsDungs had issues where they would explode? Lol but jokes aside I still have my Pioneer Plasma Kuro and I've not seen a better Kuro set with deeper blacks!! :confused:

I belive it depends when you submit price match. I did at Saturday evening at receive email say they contact me back within 24h and they did today 8 am so 32h or so.. I point this out in reply without any hope of price matching expired deal... I have 4 years old 1080p panasonic top range plasma and belive this will be step up.

Yeah pretty much, their loss...I guess at that price the tvs can dust in the storage until they're worth 300 a piece in 6 months time lol.

yeah i sent it to them 3 times. Eventually agreed so ordered now. Thanks

JL wouldn't budge on the total price of £616.99. Showed them the print screen that marcz was kind enough to provide but two people said the same thing. I guess it depends on who reads your e-mails there as it does appear to be inconsistent. Not to worry, there will be other offers in the future I'm sure.

keep seeing comments saying this is good "for the money", which says to me it has its faults? I have a trusty 50" 1080p Panasonic plasma, is the hisense bettrer than what I have?

Have you attached my print screen and point them out it was advertised with free delivery?

Which code?

And the 55m5500 I think

Confused now - seems 7000 is top of range but loads of threads on here going on about Hisense bee true 10bit compared to LG and Samsung?

hisense-h55m6600-55-smart-4k-ultra-hd-hdr-curved-tv-silver-464-with-code-boots-kitchen-2590155

I though this was 10bit - is that only the 65" top end Hisense? Not in the somicdirect description

Looking for a cheap quality second to- no rush but was tempted to buy the bulletbon this one - plus the 369 from AO for the lower model 50" keeps drawing me in

Would be interested for 549 even if I had to pay shipping, too bad I missed the deal. Have a feel nobody buys it at 599 especially there now that such price is on several other sites.

got it honoured at 549 but they still want to charge the postage fee? Anyone else had this from JL?

Sorted! After going back and moaning about the offer they honored the 549 incl delivery, but only because they took longer than 24 hours to reply as it wasn't till I mentioned that till they offered it. Good work JL :smile:

Ordered mine for 549 (had to pay 679 and if decide that i like it then need to contact them back by email for refund, there is no code or link in approval email, you will need to reply to that exact email to get 130 quid back so it cant be transferred, but they allow me to buy 10 of them for this price :wink:
I believe everyone who tried price match yesterday should try and point to JL deal was alive when you was submitting claim using my screen shot as proof (also for free delivery). Good luck everyone!

If you can't get it for 549, it's probably better to use PRCDirect and pay the extra £50 to get 5 years JL warranty by price matching below.

Until they go bust and keep your money /empireelectrical

Love you! (no homo)

I have looked into your request again and Sonic Direct have confirmed the price yesterday was indeed £549.00. Therefore I am happy to match the price with them.

They also took more than 24 hours (by about 10 mins to reply to me)


JL also don't stock the 65" no more and I guess thats out of stock for good now as they probably cleared those when PRC had low price matched. Grabbed it at 549 before stock goes.

I'm going to try my luck, they only offered me 619 :disappointed:

Good work. Gonna order mine after work. Not going to try and quibble the £17 delivery just incase they retract there offer.

Got good news, i complained that JL took longer then 24h to match price and point out free delivery with photo I uploaded above and they just reply to me:
Hi Mar,

Thank you for your price match enquiry.

I have looked into your request and will be happy to match the price of £549.00 for the Hisense 55M7000 4K ULED HDR 4K Ultra HD Smart TV (82457580) seen at Sonic Direct.
:smiley::smiley::smiley:

I point out by message to sonic direct that they advertise this tv also in free delivery category, and they call me back yesterday happy to send it for free for 549 if pay over phone, but I want wait for JL price match and 5 years warranty... Should go for it yesterday with sonic direct, JL price match is just waist of time...

If you don't order would you send the case ref number?

I honestly have no idea. I wrote it off once the price went back up. Maybe Monday morning slackness.

I have looked into your request and will be happy to match the price of £567.94 for the Hisense 55M7000 4K ULED HDR 4K Ultra HD Smart TV (product code 82457580) seen at Sonic Direct. This includes the £17.99 delivery charge that you would incur should you purchase the item from Sonic Direct."

I just wished I had screenshot the deal just incase they change there mind.

How? I price match requested within hour of this deal comes alive in sonic direct and they get back to me today morning with 617£ price match?

John Lewis just price matched for me at £567. Bargain

Better to match PCR direct for 599 now...

Samsung 55KS7000 is £849.99 and has true 10 bit panel with 1000 nit backlighting.

I bought a 4K Telly in 2014?

German mate of mine was into 'brown goods'.

'Das is gut, ya?'

Ditto on my Samsung. Thanks for mentioning the long startup on your Sony, I was considering a Sony for another room so good to know!

100% not the same model

Crooks!

I bought the Hisense 55" curved 4K from boots appliances a few months ago for £469, cracking tv :smile:

See now thats put me off big time, I bought the kids a 40" sony for there room for gaming, and it takes about 20 seconds to power on and be useable.. my Samsung on the other hand in the living room is on a nd useable in less than 1 second..

I have been considering this set as a 2nd TV, but I am glad you mentioned this.

I have this TV. The menus/apps on this thing are so damn slow in responsiveness. Takes about 18s for the thing to complete it's power on routine. Still think it's great value, just buyer beware.

Yeah, but it only has about 7 pixels :smiley:

You sure its the same model?

There were other issues with Plasma though, one of them was the burn in issues that really couldnt be cured, but also the main issue was the image projection technology couldnt be made any smaller and as such high resolutions would only increase the size of that tech, its why no Plasma was ever under 40" and you would never see a plasma monitor.

It was always the best image and can still compete with OLED but it really had no where left to evolve.

I am in the same position, we gone on holiday in June, and we have just signed for a new house so looking to move in July as such I am looking to hold off buying a new TV.. but is next month then a good month to buy?

Would this TV have a better picture than my Panasonic 50" Plasma which is about 5 years old?

Yeah, my heating didn't come on all winter! :smile:

Agree. It's also keeps my front Room warm haha

......but Plasma was a technology far in advance of LED/LCD, and a travesty that TV manufacturers dropped it for no other reason than profit margins.

You say that but my 50" Samsung plasma is ten years old and still going strong.

Yeah, was 649, now 599.. and if you do search H55m7000 in their browser it still show 549.. but when go to product page showing 599. I have one saved in by basket and its acculy allowing me to have it for 549. Also as you can see under product category, it shows "free delivery", i question this by email and get phone back from sonic direct with apology for mistake, they want take my order over phone and grant free delivery...

Now £599 and £17.99 delivery. Suspect JL wo t price match the earlier price.

Back to £649... I tried to price match with JL since yesterday evening, havnt hear till now and they will reject all claims as price goes up.

Will RS price match this?

Mines due tomorrow which I purchased to claim the price match of £599. I've submitted claim to see if will match this. There is a store so fingers crossed

Awesome. I got JL to price match this TV @ £599 a couple days ago. Im going to submit another price match claim and see if JL price match this deal. I too was skeptical about this purchase, I sold my Sony W829b after 3 years of having it for half what I paid for it and it was a pleasant upgrade. The build quality is exceptional and the picture quality for the price just left me in awe.

Amazing TV and at this price, nothing and I mean nothing comes close.

I have been ummm and arring about this for ages, but finally bit the bullet and ordered.

Great TV and price for this. Price is dropping as new models are coming. I did a lot of research and unless you are spending £1500/£2000 on a 55" you wont beat this for its bang for buck.

I bought this shortly after release for £750 and thought it was great value. (With 5 year guarantee)

Check out the AV Forums thread

Sorry to be the one to ask but is this HDR10?

:smile: hardly a random name brand! Also 5-10 years is a very long time for a main TV!

I paid like £79 for this TV from Comet 3 years ago. Nice telly and it hasn't broke down yet!

Loughborough guy has a new username?

Must admit I own a 58" K700 Hisense, identical design to this and the build quality is exceptional - far better than any Samsung or even Panasonic I've owned. App's aren't Hisense's strong point, the menu layout is also confusing but I have no complaints with Picture Quality, Sound is also unbelievably good.

Oh no... :confused:

I've got this tv and to be honest I'm not that impressed. Colours and viewing angles arnt good, screen is too reflective for me. Would think it's just a bad one I've got but had two as the first has a faulty PSU that constantly clicked.
Biggest pain is the smart features, no way of re-ordering apps or as far as I can see check for updates at all, Plex is terrible, I have to open and close it anywhere from 2-10 times to use it otherwise it says 'no server' even though no other devices have issues.

Most people have great reviews on it though so maybe I am just expecting too much.

I have the 65" version and I am sending it back because of a banding fault with the panel. I do like the TV apart from that, good value for money.

I want the 65" version of this telly ideally from JL. I want to however purchase in 3 months when we move into our new house, however it seems like the next month is a great buying window as manufacturers try to dump last years stock. Would I be better off buying sooner or just hope for the best later? For me it has to come from either Richer Sounds or John Lewis for their warranty

Looks like a good deal to me. I got the H55M3300 last year for £449 from ao and I can't complain. Superb picture, fantastic upscaling though not the best viewing angles. Given that there is so little direct 4K content you want to ensure your 4K TV has good upscaling from HD which this has. The only issue for me was the positioning of the HDMI inputs on the rear, 2 are located on the side and 2 at the back which is not great for wall-mounting. Don't know if it's the same for the M7000 model but worth checking first if you are buying online.

Will John Lewis price match this.

Haha, epic!

No wonder Rumbelows went tits up! :smile:

As he said, he knows about these things from a previous position - he can't possibly just have assumed because it's the same brand, it's the same set :wink:

I don't think they do a 50" version - are you sure that's not the 50M3300?
The M7000 is currently Hisense top model in their range and is a cracking set.

Just purchased the 50" 50M3300 Model from Argos @ £399.00. What a fantastic TV for the money. I should know as in a previous life I was the "Brown Goods" Buyer for a large Electrical Retailer!.

Great price, I paid about £610 from JL a couple of months ago for this set and love it. There's some vids on YouTube to help set the colours up a little bit but the picture is stunning.

£350... I doubt that? Have u got proof?

What are the feet witdth on this? does anyone know?

Saw the 65" in Crampton and Moore last weekend. It's a stunning set for the ££
