Hisense - 43" Class H65 Series LED 4K UHD Smart Android TV

I purchased this as a secondary TV for mostly playing video games on my Xbox one x. This TV delivers HDR in 4K at 60 hz. Many in this size do not. The other aspect of this TV is the sound. My other 43” tv had to have a sound bar, but this one sounds great.

Overall this tv has a ton of features for the price. I did have to exchange it because of an issue with the screen having a blemish on the bottom left corner. Wasn't terrible in dark scene but when it had a bright white or solid color it was very noticeable. I attached a picture if you can see it. I tried living with just so I didn't have to mess with going to the store to exchange it. The replacement one has been great with no screen issues. Android TV is nice and the app selection is great. I like that if you are in a ppnlile Hulu and you turn the TV off, once you turn it back on you are still in the app. HDR works well too. This was the reason I updated my tv was to get time with HDR. Sound is ok on par with most TV's in this range. Remote has a mic so you can ask Google to play something or check the weather. The overall picture quality is good, I don't think it's as good as my 43" TCL but it is certainly good fore the money. Overall this is a very good value tv.

the tv works pretty well, the operating system is kinda slow however. i think a little more speed and this would be a 5 star t.v. in my opinion. i certainly think it is a great budget t.v. though. lots of bang for buck here. i recomend it if your on the fence about it.

Even before I purchased this TV I was surprised that they were offering a tv at this price with all the features it has. Given that it is 4K with HDR10 and Dolby Vision as well as great Dolby virtual x audio, it is a great TV for the price. Also it even comes with android tv which works seamlessly with my google home mini. Although android tv is less easy to use than roku or amazon fire tv, it still gives great functionality and quality for the price. Would highly recommend if looking for a less expensive 4K tv.

Easy to install, good image, easy to download applications, the only bad thing is that it requires updating content, which may not be a problem for others, but it is not to my liking. in everything else excellent.

The TV is great is you're looking for a great android startup TV. Pros: Affordable Ease of customization Cons: Severe lagging some days, you'll have to unplug and plug it back in to fix Limited storage Depending on what you want, I'll still recommend it.

Coming from a 6+ year old 32" 720p TV, this was a fairly substantial upgrade. Went with this over the Korean options because of the non-proprietary OS, Dolby Vision, more HDMI ports, and the price. First impressions: the TV looks great with thin bezels and it is easy to get stands set up. Shallow 8" depth fit perfectly on our mantel. Also has good wall mount options. Remote isn't backlit or glow-in-the-dark, but gets the job done. G Assistant works reasonably well once remote is paired over BT. The biggest difference of course was the resolution: HD/FHD content looks great, but when I can find 4K HDR content its pretty mind blowing. That being said, my old TV (a Panasonic, with IPS panel and CCFL backlight) seemed brighter and more vivid. The colors look better when tweaked, but I was disappointed with the brightness of this TV. Increasing the backlight level just makes the image washed out, rather than brighter. Blacks are very black though, which is nice, but read the fine print for the backlighting on this TV. I bought this with the assumption that "Full array" backlighting implied local dimming, but this is not the case (my mistake). As a result backlighting is basically the same as the "Direct" backlighting that competitors have. As for the fake 120hz mode, I have no use for it and would rather it not exist, but fortunately it doesn't seem to be affecting any content so far. Sound wise, I was pleasantly surprised by the sound quality. Out of the box, it's absurdly loud at low levels and the Google Assistant will be deafening. I found that enabling the "Tru-Volume" setting gives you what I would consider normal volume functionality. The "Tru Bass" setting also adds some natural-sounding mid-low end response, but like the Tru-Volume mode it shouldn't exist as an option, it should have just been the default. As far as the interface, there was a nice performance improvement over the 1st gen Fire Stick we were using. That said, it's still slow, and particularly buggy with Hulu. The first few days I would set things in the menu and they would randomly revert back. The menus in general lack detail and control, and I was disappointed that many options that I was looking for (like enabling/disabling the fake 120hz mode) don't exist in the menus. There zero explanation of what each setting does or means in the menus or in the online "manual," so there's a lot of guesswork involved. As other reviews mentioned, the fact that the TV has a meager 4.3GB of storage (when 16GB flash drives cost $4) is a massive oversight. With only a few apps installed I already got a warning to "remove excess apps," however this was easily fixed by clearing the app cache. All in all, I don't regret going with this Hisense, it's proved to be a nice upgrade over our old TV and offers a lot of good features for a price that's easy to justify. Just don't expect the polished user experience of more well-known brands.

I wanted to have some time with the TV before I did a review. So far, I'm enjoying it. On the positives - the picture is very lovely, especially with vivid as the option. Because it's based on Android, the ability to download apps is great, which was a huge deal for me getting rid of my previous Fire edition TV and getting this one instead. I had been worried about the storage, as it's only 4GB, but after installing all of the apps I wanted, it actually only takes up about a gig and I can disable some unwanted apps (unlike my Amazon FIre TV), which also helps to cut down on storage. Now for the negatives - speaking of storage, adding a large thumb drive did NOT help in anyway and not in the way the internet reviews said it would. I wanted something along what my pervious Android phones would do, where I could turned the external storage into internal storage. Despite trying to do this repeatedly, it NEVER worked. I either have 64GB as an external or no space what so ever when trying to use as an internal. I also have a sound issue - I have to turn the sound up very loudly for some programs and down for others. I had this same problem on the Fire TV, so I have no idea why this is happening. There's also a considerable lag sometimes when either coming on or coming out of an app. A few days it was really bad where it literally froze a number of times and I had to unplug it and plug it back in. I recently had a system update so hopefully that will fix it. Not a negative per se for this, but a definite request - the one thing I love about the Fire TV was the channel guide. It grouped my three live streaming services (Pluto, Sling, and Philo) into one guide. I could choose my favorite channels and then select them from that guide. They would open in their perspective apps, but it was great not having to go through each app just to see all the channels (this is especially true with Pluto, which has over a 100 channels) I hate that there's nothing like this on Android. The live channels app and channel plus are useless, as it's focus is for people who are using antennas, which I'm not. Honestly, that ability alone would cancel some of the negative aspects for me.
