Product Manuals

Q: Where is the camera on this particular Hisense TV??

A: I just bought a Hisense 55 inch tv also a 32 inch smart I was wondering if and where a built in camera is located on them. Also if able to use them for facetime chatting.

Q: What is the distance between the legs?

A: leg width for 58 inch hisense tv

Q: Does this TV output HDR thru hdmi or only thru USB like the 50 inch model. Pretty much useless thru usb. We were told Hisense is supposed to fix this HDR issue with an update in the future. I would only buy this tv if Hisense can verify this imfo. Plz.

A: This TV does support HDR through the HDMI ports. You have to download the update for the TV. I had to download 2 different updates. Afterwards, you have to go into the Menu and enable the HDR function. Under the HDMI option in the menu, you have to select Enhanced to enable HDR.

Q: What is the refresh rate? Also, why do the specs say "analog" for the 55" model, but "digital" for the 50" model?

A: Hi! The refresh rate is 60Hz. Both TV's come with a digital QAM built-in tuner.

Q: Hi I noticed that someone mentioned to put the hdmi in outlet 3 or 4 Is it a better picture that port 1 or 2

A: Hi Cary! Yes. This TV supports 4K at 60fps (4:4:4 is at 8 bit color) through HDMI inputs 3 and 4 (HDMI 2.0 at HDCP 2.2).

Q: Is this 60Hz or 120 Hz? And does it matter on a 4K tv like it does on just a smart tv?

A: It is 120 hrtz but upscales. I wanted a 240 hrtz TV & did alot of research the way a 4K tv works is by amplifying the 120hrtz. I returned 2 other brands then purchased this Hisense TV. It is the best I am more then satusfied for the price & quality.

Q: Is the Hulu app available or be added or would I still need my Roku player for access?

A: Hello, we are actively negotiating with many application developers and seeking to add more apps to our smart TV's. For instant access to Hulu, you can connect the TV with a compatible streaming device (purchased separately)

Q: what is the factory warranty on this tv ? was told it was longer than a year by a salesperson.

A: Hisense has a 4-year limited warranty in the US. Both parts and labor.
