I'm interested to know what the sound is like on Hisense TVs. Any owners that can comment?

If you are calling ao.com make sure not to use their 0844 number on a mobile or get stung.

Warning about AO - they do not allow you to lick the screen and send back for a full refund! :smile: \x0d\x0a\x0d\x0a(in before the idiots)

had a look at other reviews, all pretty much the same, for price its a bargain, but don't expect the same performance as something that costs 4 times as much.... looking on a few TV forums its pleasantly surprised a lot of owners...

Thanks guys. Just a very in depth review on Brain Crowded, wow that was intense

Does this not look better for£10 more ?

RGB or RGBW?

"This 43 inch Hisense TV would be perfect for any living room." If you were actually watching 4k content and moved farther than about 2 foot from the screen you'd start loosing detail. Only way this would be good for a living room is if you don't mind seeing 720p quality from back where you're sitting. Would be a decent monitor but as someone said, might be wrgb. Obviously won't be actual HDR.

'It’s Ultra HD Certified with 4K upscaling, which boosts standard HD to near 4K for amazing image quality.

So this isn't a 4k TV at all?

Yes. It's simply saying it can upscale a 1080p image to 2160p.

There's a whole 10 pages of comments for when it was on here over a year ago here.

Had mine over a year now and first tv since my old panny 720p from way back.....and wow the difference is unbelievable IMHO.
Audio is top notch considering most need a decent sound bar, where this is loud clear with bass as well.
The upscaling of SD and HD is really impressive,much better than I thought.
Only downside now since the last update is the epg is slow on the freeview,however I hardly use that but wouldn't be surprised to see a fix for that via another update....had about 5 in a year so they keep on top of things.

Overall well worth the money......is there better?yep sure is but would cost more so boils down to your budget.
Heat added

Debating between this and a Samsung 43ku6000 for £419.

Is the Samsung worth the extra £130?

or use the Weq4u app (free on both IOS and android). Saved me a lot of money...

Must say brought this TV a couple of months ago from AO ended up costing me £269 due to price match and AO first purchase discount. Couldn't be more pleased with the picture and sound, maybe not as good as some much more expensive top end sets however just as good as any mid range set I've purchased from Samsung previously. For the money an absolute bargain. :smile:

So what's the deal with this TV? It seems too good to be true, is it 10 bit HDR?

Looking at the Currys website it states it is HDR10

Excellent sound. Apps are appalling!! I had the 49M3000 but sold it because of the apps etc.

Bought this one few months back same price in tesco direct everything is good consider how much i paid for the only one thing I'd like they improve is the app store but i use Android box so it doesn't really bother me

You cant upscale something to 4k if you're not capable of outputting 4k.

Well ok, you *technically* could, but there'd be no point, as you'd just have to downscale it again to the native pixel count.

So yea, this is a real 4k TV. It's just trying to say that if you watch 1080p content on it, it will scale it up to 4k output. Which is....well, not really a 'selling point' since pretty much any TV scales content like this.

Whether this actually improves picture quality is debatable, though.

Same price at Currys. Good Price!

Heat just for the detachable power lead - why are they almost always irremovable on TVs?

Would this TV be good for the new Xbox One X - ie gaming?

Thanks

Sound is surprisingly good, interface is unbelievably terrible.... the last firmware update turned it into an unusable swimming through treacle experience...
Plus AO. con are terrible people to deal with... if you must have one, go elsewhere.

Excellent, just bought it, 2nd Hisense, this one for the bedroom

Owned it for a year now and it's great if you want a TV on a budget. As previous comments meant appstore is pretty terrible but most of us have devices these days that make any TV a smart TV. Sound is good as well, we also have a cheap blaupunkt TV which the sound on was so bad we had to buy a sound bar. Was worried we'd have to do the same for this but we didn't!

Could you game on this with a PS4?

Good price but total bull plop saying "It’s Ultra HD Certified with 4K upscaling, which boosts standard HD to near 4K for amazing image quality"
That's just pure marketing bull crap. Yes it upscales otherwise you'd be watching a tiny image with a big black border but it cannot boost extra detail to create 'near 4K' unless it features the new Sony 4Kguessimater circuit.

It would be like me saying urinating form the top of a motorway bridge onto passing traffic recreates the struggle of working class man though the ages. It simply does not, it just gets you arrested.

just a note abour HDR it does state

HDR via USB delivers lifelike colours to ramp up 4K
so I don't expect anything over HDMI to use HDR

I've read on av forums that the latest update allows HDR through one of the HDMI ports

There was an update to allow HDR via HDMI

Anyone connected one of these up to a pc what's the picture like. My current tv has issues and having to overscan to get the picture right but it still looks crap for the desktop but games look fine.

What's this about discount for new customers? - any discount codes to make this any cheaper?

I know a lot of smart TVs use RF remotes with air mouse... Is this an IR remote?

Any codes?

Thats really good to know and makes this tempting, thanks

Never used a hisense have you... try it I think you'll be impressed

MY KS7000 speakers are potatoe all LCD/LED TV's are, I am sure the pic quality is great.

it has to be £299 in a single item, I tried it with a mouse

all lcd/led tv speakers are poo... you need a av amp or a sound bar

Pretty sure that was my point.. :smile:

Just bought it and expected delivery on Friday. Thanks OP.

got mine seems good for the money, but cant seem to get ITV app though.

seems OOS

back in stock

This is a old model as there has been a 40 inc 3300 that I payed £250 from Amazon Xmas time and now there is a newer 43 inc out. This is not a good price for this tv as its 3 models down
