Personally I think this brand is brilliant and within a price band that is exceptional value.
Needless to say heat.

Considering the H55N6800 at £630. Anyone have any opinions on this? Seems a good price, not sure if better out there.
Cheers though, OP.
edit: or is the H55N5700 just as good? Can't seem to find much to explain the price difference.
Back lit over edge lit and slight brightness difference.

From what I've read the N5700 is the 2017 budget/entry level model where the N6800 is the mid level model. the N6800 seems to have local dimming and a few more features that are part of the Hisense ULED range that the N5700 doesn't. How much different this makes overall depends on what your watching and the quality of the source. one thing I do know the N5700 is more likely to experience banding/DSE due to being direct backlit. I've read a few (not loads) reports of this. The N6800 seems to be more uniform with very few issues other than the odd isolated clouding/backlight bleed issue along the bottom edge.
ive been looking to replace my 4 year old plasma as it's developed a line down the screen and was looking to replace it with either the N6800 (50" version) or the Samsung 50MU6100. I've not seen the Hisense in person but the Samsung are dreadful with widespread backlight bleed issues right away across the MU6XXX range. My advice would be to check out the Hisense TVs and steer clear of Samsung's 2017 models.

Surely if it's direct led it's less likely to exhibit banding/DSE?

you would think so but on some forums there is a a few reports of banding seemingly where the backlight array mounts to the chassis. Also uniformity issues (clouding and blooming/DSE) due to the spaces in the LED array. this is the reason why it's the N5700 is budget/entry level tv and it uses a direct LED backlight. most TVs tend to use edge lit screens as it's more efficient and offers a more uniform screen (but it's not perfect).

Just dropped my 4K Samsung and the screen smashed. FML! Is this a good replacement?

I'd love a 4k TV, and this is a great price, but I cant justify paying nearly £400 when my 40in Samsung works perfectly fine. :cry:

It's not a lot of money for a 4K upgrade BUT you get what you pay for so I'm curious myself if the 4K will be much improvement on 1080.

Hi was just thinking the same... Got a perfectly good 40 inch sony... no way my wife would let me buy a new tele whilst this is going strong!!

I've got a 43" 4k TV and to be honest I can see very little difference between HD and ultra HD on it. I've heard you can only really see the difference on bigger sets.

I'm in the exact same boat. Currently trying to encourage my three year old to knock my Samsung over... :joy:

First time I've wished for something to fail!'
I now own a LG OLED and couldn't be happier with my decision.With the right equipment 4K is absolutely fantastic.

Does anyone have a picture of how this TV looks like in real life and not a stock model? I want to see if it's a kind of grey-ish silver. Would really appreciate it if someone does!

I bought the Hisense h43m3000 43" 4k a month ago from AO for £320. So maybe this is the new current model. Cant fault the quality for the price in picture and sound and slots at the back are plenty full, and that replaced my sony 40" i had bought new 3 yrs earlier. And amazingly enough the hisense beats it ,which kinda shocked me being brand conscious in the past. Oh and do not forget if anyone wants to purchase the ops deal... If your a first time customer on AO you will get an extra £20 off making this £357.

Does the (8-bit + FRC) HDR work on the built-in Netflix?
mb1357 to Alvie
19 Aug 17#13
Well it will if the Netflix app Is HDR enabled but regardless you will not see any difference HDR or no HDR; the technology is mainly suited to OLED tv's which can exhibit pure white/blacks. It is quoted by manufacturers to make people purchase new tv's. Next it will be 8k! For the money seems a great buy
Alvie to mb1357

Oled can do pure blacks by shutting the pixels off, but I don't think you can get "pure" whites from anything.

OLED can do deeper black, but LED panels are brighter, thus giving more contrast between the highs and lows of HDR... I don't think you can outright say HDR is only for OLED.
Also, Samsung's QLED technology is actually LED, and Samsung will definitely argue that HDR works on their TVs.
