Hisense - 40" Class (40" Diag.) - LED - 1080p - HDTV

I bought this TV so that my family could play video games in the basement. When I first set it up, I was using component video and the picture was pretty bad (buyer beware, if you are not going to use HDMI, you may be disappointed with picture quality). So, I went and grabbed an HDMI cable, rewired, and voila!...perfect. Usually low end TVs have low end sound, so I thought I'd add a little about that as well. This TV has fine sound for typical usage. If you are looking for spectacular sound, you won't get it, but this TV gets plenty loud without sound distortion for common use. The TV does not have a ton of inputs and the input locations on the back of the TV are a bit odd, so check that the specs meet your needs before you buy.

I was able to pick one of these TV's up for $230. For this price I am very pleased with the picture quality, screen size, and connection options. I was not worried about getting a smart TV, as this is being used for a bedroom television with a Chromecast connected for streaming content, primarily Netflix. The USB port also allows the Chomecast to turn on and be powered when the TV is on. Picture quality is surprisingly good for a lesser known name brand. While the speakers lack dept, they are no worse than most flat screen televisions today. They do however get quite loud. We typically leave the volume at around 4 or 5 which is plenty loud. Overall a good buy if you can get it for sub $250.

Did research on another tv and planned on getting it but when I got to Best Buy they weren't in stock so they talked me into this Hisense. The main selling point was that it was cheap, and it is. One of the major noticeable issues is the contrast, and the fact that you can't change any settings and see the effects until you save and exit the menu, so adjusting the contrast takes some time going back and forth while waiting for things to show up wrong.

Nice buy, great color and resolution and a really excellent and stable picture. Seems to have pretty useful features but haven't been able to explore all of them because the remote that came in the box didn't work with the TV. Spent alot of hours on the phone with customer service. Must say, however, Hisence customer service foks were as responsive and helpful as was within their power. Despite the issues with the remote, I'd buy this tv again... price, service and picture quality combined makes the purchase well worth it.

We loved it the right size a great picture! It shocked us that a TV with that price had such a great picture! However we had to exchange it for a smaller Smart TV that could play all of our videos that we put on HDD. It wasn't for that we would of kept it. With a 4 year old who changes his mind on what video he wants to watch all the time it makes sense for us to put them on a hard drive! Just click a menu instead of changing a DVD wait for that to load then fight with previews menus ect ect. I would buy one for my parents.

I recommend the set with one reservation. My Sony 5.1 channel home theater will only run 2 channel even with a y adapter. It only has plugs for red, white and yellow and the set only red, white, blue and green-which is where I put the yellow. My previous set had all colors and worked fine so they might be incompatible. I can hear my CDs, DVDs and the radio and the set is such a bargain otherwise I'll keep it but you need to be aware of this. Customer Service is also easy to reach and friendly. A great set on its own merits.

I hadn't heard of the HiSense brand prior to this purchase, I was initially attracted due to the price - lower then the completion. I've had the TV for about a month now and I have to say that I've been pleasantly surprised, it's picture quality is better then I'd expected, it was easy to set up, had all the connections I needed and the sound is pretty decent. The overall styling of the TV is not bad either, mostly black plastic, the glass stand and the small chrome accent at the bottom center add a nice touch.

I bought this TV for my apartment. So far I have had it for about a month and everything works great. I play my xbox 360 on it and soon I will have a streaming video service. The resolution is good for the price. The graphics are not mind-blowing like when I hook my games up to my Lg television, but they get the job done. My goal was to buy this TV for 6 months of use, and it has already been a great investment.
