Product Manuals

Q: I bought this TV and registered it to get the 4 year warranty. But what is the warranty? Does someone come to your house to fix or do I have to pay the $150 to ship to them? Hisense, please let us know.

A: Hi, the TV comes with a free 4-year parts & labor in-home service warranty. If the TV requires service at a Hisense facility, shipping will be paid by Hisense. If you have any further questions, please contact us at 1-888-935-8880.

Q: My husband bought a 50" Hisense 4K HDR tv & when he hooks it up the tv to the satellite in the 60 HZ it works. When he tries to put the 4K Samsung Blu-Ray player in the 60hz it gives a snowy screen then goes black. Called the manufacture no help.

A: The Samsung is HDCP 2.2 compliant. This awesome television is not. But, you can call Hisense and they can provide a link that you can download on a USB and plug it into your TV and upgrade it so it will turn one of the HDMI ports on the TV to HDCP 2.2./ Then the bluray player will work,

Q: How does one use the web browser feature? I did not see anything in the manual or in the settings/apps section. Thanks!

A: The web browser is in the apps list and it's called Opera Tv Browser. The picture is that of a big red "O".

Q: Does this TV have a digital tuner to watch over the air tv?

A: This TV does have a tuner. Only an antenna needed

Q: How do you enable HDR I hook up HDR compatible gaming system but it does not appear HDR is enabled. I am using hdmi port 3. Most TV it has to be turned on but my device does not recognize the HDR.

A: An update to add HDMI support is supposed to arrive in September (this month). Apparently on September 8th (which also happens to be this day, but don't go to the bank on that)

Q: How do you loop a video on a USB drive?

A: Depends on the tv. Some may allow you to do internally. If it doesnt, buying a small media player will solve the problem! They come as small as a pad of sticky notes and will allow you to endlessly loop photos and video.

Q: How is the picture on this tv for just watching cable shows

A: I am loving my Hisense 4k television. The picture quality is crystal clear for this to be an off name brand television. If you are on a budget I would recommend this TV. you can't go wrong.

Q: Do the speakers on this unit still work when headphones are plugged in or do the headphones mute the speakers? And can you change this?

A: No the speakers will cut out when the headphones are plugged in. My fix for this was to use a sound bar and with that installed you can turn the audio off on the TV and use the headset in the jack and the sound bar at the same time. The reason that I need the headset and the audio speakers both working at the same time, Wife needs headset for hearing problems and I can listen and not be blasted out with sound cranked up.
