Great specs and a great price!
The TV looks and sounds great! Colors really pop compared to my last TV and it's super bright. Sometimes, it's a little too bright, but if that doesn't bother you, you'll line this TV, too. It's lot a lot of AI features turned on by default that makes the picture look a bit weird, but the settings are super easy to navigate. Turning off the stuff that made it look wonky was quick to do. I've heard a lot about the difficulty of setting up the TV stand. We mounted ours, so we didn't deal with any of that, but it's something to keep in mind if you're planning on standing it up. There's even a separate manual to help with that. There are times where the darker scenes can look a bit blotchy. Like it's not a super black color. It's not too big a deal, but if you want your picture SUPER crispy, you'd probably want to with an OLED I instead. We got ours for a pretty good deal at under $800, so it was an easy decision for us. We mostly got this television for my son since we don't watch too much TV in the living room and our last one just wouldn't turn on anymore. It's very vibrant especially with colorful shows like Bluey and Peppa Pig! LOL The sound is also pretty nice! It's got a subwoofer in the back and speakers along the sides. It can get pretty loud without distorting the sound, but we keep it at a relatively low volume most of the time so that our neighbors aren't bothered by it. All in all, this is a great television that won't let you down! Highly recommended especially at its lower price compared to others of the same quality.

Good value TV
I have enjoyed watching this TV very much in the first month of having it. The picture quality is exceptional, and the refresh rate is very good. I am not a gamer so I can't comment on using it for gaming, but everything I have seen has been really good. I would definitely recommend having someone set it up for you, whether you plan to mount it on a wall or simply place it on top of a cabinet. It is 140 lbs. and takes more than one person to remove from the box, put the stand together and placed on a cabinet. I also bought a Hisense Soundbar (R652) to go with it and they pair up nicely. At some point I will probably have it mounted on my wall.
