Q: Is there an Optical Digital Audio Out (Toslink) port to hook up to older A/V surround sound receivers without HDMI?

A: I just purchased this TV Saturday and it does have a optical out ... I have my vizio sound bar hooked via the optical port.

Q: Is the Amazon app and any other apps in addition to Netflix and YouTube in 4k?

A: Amazon, Netflix, and YouTube built in apps all stream 4K content. With Netflix you need the $11.99/M plan for 4K. Vudu doesn't appear to have 4K. There are a few other 4K streaming apps on it, ultraflix 4k & 4know, but I haven't used them. Pluto TV app has limited 4K content as well

Q: What is the refresh rate?

A: After some searching I finally found out it is 60hz.

Q: How is it possible that Best Buy is selling a Hisense 65" H8C TV? According to Hisense, they do not make 65" H8C TVs. The model 65H8C doesn't exist. What is the true model # for this TV?

A: You're correct, their website does not have it listed or material for it. It is however the 65H8C. Serial numbers, as well as model number will confirm this for you. I think as a company HiSense could definitely serve themselves well to get their website in order.

Q: Can anyone confirm the HDR settings can be turned on? Hisense customer support tells me that it's not HDR capable yet but that an update is coming out soon.

A: HDR is enabled out of the box. If you are using an HDMI connected device plug into HDMI 3 or 4 and in the TV settings change HDMI to enhanced. Take note that the HDR brightness isn't the best but it does work. I believe this TV gets 83% of the color gamut which is right at the line in terms of noticeable HDR differences in picture quality. That all said for $800 @ 65" this is the only TV that comes close to this and other features. To truly experience HDR you want 90% and up. Those TVs cost double the price and more at this size.
