We’ve had this TV up and running for about five days now, and we love it. The picture is bright, clear, and sharp. Setup was very simple (as described below). It comes with a stand, but we mounted it on the wall in our living room. While the TV is relatively light (about 40 lbs), the manual cautions you to have three people on hand during the unboxing process, two to remove the packaging and one to hold the TV steady. Of course, the last thing you want is to have your brand-new TV fall over! Mounting on the wall does require a bracket supplied separately, and you’ll obviously need to follow the instructions that come with yours regarding mounting the bracket on the wall and mounting the part that attaches to the TV to the back of the TV. Connectivity options are plentiful. There four HDMI ports, one of which has the all-important “eARC” feature which allows two-way communication between the TV and whatever is connected to this port. In my case, I connected my soundbar to this port, and eARC allows the TV’s remote to control the soundbar’s functions. The TV also recognizes what it attached, so when you are looking at what is connected to the various inputs, the menu displays the brand of the soundbar, rather than just saying “port 3" or whatever. There is also a single USB port, generally used for software updates, a coaxial cable connector for an external antenna, an “AV IN” port for listening to other audio sources through the TV, and a headphone port which presumably can be connected to simple external speakers (or a pair of headphones, of course). I have not used these two ports. This is a Fire TV, which means it has the capability of an Amazon Fire TV streaming device built-in. This also means that Amazon’s “Alexa” voice system can be used to control pretty much everything about the TV, including switching inputs, searching for programs or music, changing channels, and more. I have to admit that, while the Alexa feature works fine, I’m a bit old school, and I like the comfort of pressing buttons on a remote. But I am changing! There is, of course, an actual remote control (called “Voice Remote With Alexa) as well which can control many aspects of the TV including a button that activates voice control. It took a little playing around with it to get the hang of it, but I’m pretty good now. The remote requires two AAA batteries, which are included. As noted at the top, setup was simple. There is a guided setup process that appears when you turn on the TV for the first time. This is where you connect the TV to your home wireless network. The TV automatically pairs with the voice remote, but a process is described on how to rectify the situation if you experience issues with the pairing of the remote. All in all, we’re looking forward to years of good TV viewing!

I have had the Hisense 65" U6 Pro for a week now and I'm happy to say, Hisense continues to move the needle toward excellence. The U6 Pro does a lot of things well, although there are a few things that keep it from being a perfect experience. Unboxing: The process to getting this TV unboxed was honestly a chore. It arrived inside a wooden crate on a pallet, which meant removing a lot of screws before I could even get to the box itself. You might say the packaging did its job because it arrived without a scratch, however it was a bit overdone. Discarding all the wood, padding and packaging waste afterward was a headache. From start to finish it took me close to an hour just to get everything unpacked and cleaned up. Fire TV Interface: The biggest drawback for me has been the Amazon Fire TV interface. It feels crowded and sometimes unresponsive, whether it be a technical issue or optimization, this is my experience thus far. I have had instances where the screen would completely freeze and had to be unplugged and rebooted. Most of these issues started after trying Amazon Luna, which is promoted during the initial setup as a cloud gaming platform. Because of these issues, I am seriously considering using an external streaming device instead of relying on Amazon's Fire TV software, for all my streaming needs. Audio: I'm really impressed in the quality of sound output of the U6 Pro. The built-in subwoofer makes massive difference and provides much better bass than I expected from a television. Dolby Atmos coupled with IMAX and DTS features truly turn your home into a theater. Movies in particular have a fuller more immersive audio experience. Music also sounds very good. An external soundbar is definitely not necessary. But, that's a matter of opinion. Gaming Performance: Gaming has overall been excellent. The 144Hz refresh rate, VRR support and FreeSync Premium all make for a fantastic alternative to a traditional monitor. My games looked outstanding and the 1200 nits makes the HDR pop compared to my previous TV with only 1000. I also like that out of the 4 HDMI ports, 2 of them support the high refresh rate, so I can have my Xbox and ps5 connected simultaneously. Picture Quality: The picture quality took a bit of tinkering at first but is definitely the highlight. The default settings didn't really show what this U6 Pro was capable of. After making a few adjustments, the image quality was improved dramatically. Colors look vibrant and the panel is sharp. The screen handles daytime viewing very well thanks to its brightness and anti reflection screen. The super resolution feature is also extremely useful. We only have the 1080p streaming HBO Max plan but a lot of content looked far sharper than expected on this TV compared to the other one we were using. While the content may not be 4k, this TV does a wonderful job enhancing lower-resolution movies and shows. Summary: While there are a few hiccups, my overall experience has been great. From the crisp picture quality to gaming performance and superb audio, the U6 Pro has been a pleasure to use. The User interface/operating system is not my favorite and is my biggest issue. If Amazon can improve the software stability and overall user experience in a future update, this would easily be a five-star product.

Im glad I got a chance to pick up this 65 inch Hisense TV because my old tv was starting to show its age and i've heard amazing things about MiniLED. After using it for a few weeks i can honestly say it exceeded my expectations. The picture quality is the first thing that stands out. the mini led backlighting and qled panel make a huge difference compared to my old tv. colors look insanely bright and vibrant without looking fake, and the contrast is really good too. i watched a few movies the first night i got it and kept noticing little details in darker scenes that i never saw before. 4k content looks fantastic and even regular streaming shows seem sharper. i also do a decent amount of gaming and the tv has handled that really well. motion looks smooth and i havent noticed any major issues with lag. sports look great too, which was something i was worried about before buying. fast moving scenes stay pretty clear and dont turn into a blurry mess. the fire tv system has been easy to use so far. everything was simple to set up and i was signed into my streaming apps pretty quickly. the menus are responsive and i havent run into any crashes or weird glitches. the remote is straightforward too, which i appreciate because some smart tv remotes try way too hard to be fancy. sound quality is actually better than i expected from a flat screen tv, I still use my own soundbar but I tested out the built in speakers and was pretty surprised that the quality of the speakers was above average for sure. overall im really happy with this tv. between the mini led display, qled colors, 4k picture quality, and easy to use smart features, it feels like a lot of TV. if youre looking for a big screen upgrade without spending a fortune, this one is definitely worth considering.
