A: 39.5 I know because my Bello wasn't wide enough to support it. I thought the U7K had 2 positions for leg placement, nope just one. So I jury rigged a tempoary, position to demo the tv. Following day offf to Home Depot, for a good plank of wood $9 took into account overhang, gave my measurements to employee working the saw, cut to fit,went home place the board on my stand that has a glass top, worked perfectly, put a neutral colored towel around the board to disgise it, blends in & looks good, a cheap fix, to a problem, I wasn't expecting. By the way this is an Awesome Tv and a serious upgrade from the U7H & U8H, from last year in every way, a killer Tv for features & value, hard to beat.
A: Try to go to pictures settings and enable all sources and input your pictures settings number for your gaming the way you like
Q: What is the manufacturer warranty?
A: Hi Jason, thank you for your interest in the Hisense 55U7K. This TV has a two year manufacturers warranty. If you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to us. We are here to assist you. Thanks again, Harley with the Hisense Support Team.
Q: How is the view on this tv from the side. Does it degrade in quality enough tonot choose it
A: Like most tvs in this price range there is definitely some side view degradation but it is not any worse than other models I looked at (Samsung, LG, and Sony in the $600 range). Mostly some color wash but at a large viewing angle I do get some size distortion as well.
A: No, it is not, Oled (Organic Light Emitted Diodes) panels consist of phosphorus diodes, similar to a living pixel. When black is used the pixel involved, shuts off completely, emitting no light whatsoever, it can also handle gradiants from deepest blacks to your brightest whites. Oleds are not as bright as Qled or Mini - led Tvs, but they produce, perfect black. Oled has the widest viewing also, but are best viewed, in a darked room, don't view as well bright light, or sunlit rooms. Oleds are more expensive, because of the technology used. They can suffer from burn - in or, image retenton, but many Manufactures, have resolved this giving the ability of digitally refreshing your panel, to help eliminate this issue Qled is a little different, if I get it this right Quantaum Light Emitted Diodes. It uses mini - Led lights or technology for effect, they are all backlit throughout the Tv, almost all are full array panels, which means, leds are place all around the screen or panel positions. This helps with brightness, colors, & all (HDR) High Definition Resolution & (HLG) High Level Gamma picture modes. These Tvs can produce the very brightest whites, contrast or colors. Viewing angle is not as good, but trumps Oled in bright or sunlit rooms, halogen lighting doesn't matter, Tv's are very bright, many have anti - reflective coating on the screen. Pricing is cheaper with Qled & Mini - Led Tvs
Q: It says this 4ktv has full array local dimming. How many local dimming zones are there?
A: Hi Wizzard, thank you for your interest in the Hisense 55U7K. The TV has 672 local dimming zones. If you have any further questions, please give us a call at 1-888-935-8880 or email us at [email protected]. Thanks again Harley with the Hisense Support Team.
Q: Does this TV have a good built in sound system or am I going to need to buy a sound bar too?
A: TV has good sound, has built-in subwoffer and multiple settings for the sound, I have a Samsung Qled 80 and this tv sound is better than the Samsung.
