Not bad if you lower your expectations.
For the size and price it is hard to justify complaining. However, with a side by side comparisons to my 7 year old tv, you can certainly tell the difference by spending double on a premium model. The black levels and contrast are no comparison. You would think a full array led would be better than a side lit with contrast, not so much. Seeing as how the backlighting is consistent/bright across the screen with no bright spots (except for a light halo around the border with the screen black), the local dimming does not seem to be doing anything. However, the colors are richer. Images are not as sharp as I was expecting, but that could be due to the image being blown up/diluted so much. What is strange is how it struggles to sharpen normal images. Yet, it totally crushes digital images, like cartoons and graphics. Cartoons are extremely sharp and bright. Even on the same screen like the news, the people will be slightly blurry whole the graphics in the corner are very sharp and bright. The matte screen is not for me. The glare makes everything very washed out. One bright spot makes the whole screen sort of glow. This is definitely a dark room tv. Also, any angle of side viewing drastically reduces the quality. So, straight on viewing is important. The tv itself is very heavy. There are nice handles in the back to help you lift it. The base feet are pretty far apart. The remote is basic, but has nice tactile buttons. The google voice is a nice feature, but seems to be a bit slower than my other tv voice controls. It is a bit annoying the device in the next room and my phone all try to respond. I recommend using the remote button. Mode wise, vivid is just a touch richer than standard, which looks more natural. Sport has boosts the refresh rate that really works well. Game kills all the processing features and reduces lag, also works pretty good. Theater is suppose to have some special codec reading and automatic setting adjustments. I didn't have a movie with that so I don't know if that works. Overall, if you want a big tv for cheap, it is pretty good for half the price. Just have low expectations. All its features work great. Just the image quality is subpar. If you have never used a premium display, you would probably love this tv. I the pictures you can see: The black details are terrible. Straight on shows color richness. Side and show fade and image degradation.

Huge quality beyond it's price point!
This TV is a multimedia giant. The Android OS interface is smooth, fast, and super responsive. I created TV profiles that make parental controls a breeze! The remote has a premium feel though it’s a bit larger than it needs to be. The TV frame itself doesn’t feel cheap at all, and the built-in handles make installation a breeze for two people, even with its size and weight. Image quality? Absolutely stunning. Bright scenes, sports, and cartoons all look incredibly vibrant colors pop without looking over-processed or artificial. I was using a 4K projector in this space, and even at max brightness and color settings, it doesn’t come close to the Hisense 98” QD5. The difference is so dramatic, I’ve already packed up the projector. This TV is now the centerpiece in our loft. A few out-of-the-box tweaks are necessary: There’s noticeable blooming in dark scenes when there are small bright elements on screen. Thankfully, this can be mostly fixed with a few setting adjustments that significantly reduce the issue. Sound-wise, the auto mode is fine for casual TV, but the soundstage feels narrow for movies. Switching to Theater mode brings the audio to life. Boost the subwoofer level a bit and it's honestly enjoyable without a soundbar. That said, a soundbar definitely enhances the experience though I do wish the TV's built-in speakers could work in tandem with external audio gear.

Our own mini movie theater
I was hesitant on buying a Hisense TV since I knew nothing about the brand. This TV had all the features I wanted and more, the price and screen size were exactly what I was looking for. After researching a bit, I decided to purchase it. I could not be happier with my decision!!! Setup definitely needs two strong people, this TV is very heavy, and you need to mount the legs on, it's pretty easy. Only three screws each leg. When mounted the stand is very sturdy, I was worried it would be flimsy and scared to let my son near it, but it holds up amazing. When you turn the TV on it has to be setup, it takes about 15 min and is very easy. You can connect your Google account. A really cool feature is you can out your personal photos as a screen saver! Im very impressed with the quality of the picture and the responsiveness. It's so clear you would think the people were real!
