Product Manuals

Q: What is the distance between the stand legs and what is the depth of the stand legs?

A: About 38 inches from the end of the leg to the other leg and 9 inches in depth.

Q: How is gaming on this tv, I have read rtings review . just wondering ps4 pro / xbox one s or x performance

A: One of the reasons I chose this set was for my kids to be able to use their game platforms on it. They so far have tried their ps4 with no problems. They not yet tried their xbox though. We really like the set. It is a brand new Hisense design so we expected possibly some issues. We had a problem with the sound cutting out with programs on Netflix. We reported the problem and Hisense sent a serviceman to our house who replace the motherboard and speakers. After doing a factory reset the problem has not reoccurred but now we sometimes have the set enter Safe Mode. This can be cleared though by rebooting the set. Again, this seems to only happening when watching Netflixs. The serviceman thinks they have a software signal processing issue. We expect that they will fix it in a future software update.

Q: On the Hisense - 50" Class - LED - H8F Series how wide is the base when using the legs? I only have a stand that is 41.5 inches wide to put it on and do not want to have to buy a bigger one

A: It’s funny, I had the same concern and couldn’t find the answer online without measuring it myself. I believe the legs are about 39 inches apart. I purchased a stand for this tv that’s 42 inches wide and it’s a tight fit but it works. Therefore a 41.5 inch wide stand should be wide enough.

Q: I just pruchased a Hisense 50H8F and it is supposed to be bluet ooth compatible but I can't find the blue tooth tab anywhere. Does someone know how to get to that tab so I can add my blue tooth headphoness to it. Sort of frustrating. Vano

A: Main Menu > Settings > remote and accessories > add accesory

Q: Does this TV have a built-in 110-220V adapter?

A: Only 110

Q: How many local dimming zones are there?

A: Thank you for your interest in the 50H8F. The unit has 32 zones for local dimming. If you have any further questions please give us a call at 1-888-935-8880 or email us at [email protected]. Thanks Again, We look forward to hearing from you! Harley with the Hisense Support Team

Q: How can I see which apps can be installed on this TV, and can I install the BritBox and Acorn TV apps? I'm hesitant to buy since it's Android TV instead of Roku and want to be certain that I can stream the apps that I most watch.

A: Thanks for your reply. Neither of the apps that I watch most can be added. I'm glad that I noticed that Hisense is no longer using Roku before I bought it.

Q: Can I mount this tv using my current wall mount which is for 32 - 65in tvs?

A: It uses the standard 200mm X 200mm wall mount.

4K for Dummies
Advanced warning: be extremely careful when taking this out of the box especially, in addition to any time you move the TV, that you don’t apply pressure to the screen. I opened the box from the bottom and didn’t see the note near the top that warned me not to touch the screen. Luckily no damage was done but I’d hate for anyone to wreck their TV before ever turning it on. Moving on... go ahead and hit the checkout button and buy this sucker. Out of the box, the TV is real simple to setup. You need a Phillips screwdriver to set up the base, which anyone can do, unless you’re planning to use a wall mount, which is sold separately. The TV is quite light, very thin, has an optic connection, composite, connection, two USB, and four HDMI connections as well. It should be noted that the TV doesn’t have physical buttons on it so try not to lose the remote. Setup is simple, it asks what language you’d like, connects to your WiFi (it is a smart TV after all), and then walks you through the rest of the setup process based upon your preferences. This TV can be used by anyone but will definitively favor Android users as this TV is compatible with your Android device and will help you set that up through the connect process. Connecting through an Android device not only streamlined the startup/sign in process but also gives you better control of the apps. It’s not a make or break scenario, but it’s extremely helpful and efficient. Once setup, you’ll notice how crisp, bright, and colorful the television is. The picture quality is breathtaking and runs great. The sound is arguably better than the picture as well. It comes across as full, the bass is noticeable, and the tones are deep. I was truly mostly blown away by the sound quality. The TV turns on incredibly fast and the home page is like that if your smartphone, with apps as far as the eye can see. You can customize and download apps, reorganize them, and personalize the home screen a bit. It’s really nuts that this is how far TV’s have come where I can hit the power button and within 20 seconds, Netflix has loaded and I’m back where I left off with Stranger Things. I tested the TV with gaming, music apps, and video apps and everything came through without a hitch. The audio and visual quality on this just blows me away. It should be noted that there are a couple cons, but nothing major. With the TV stands being legs near each side of the TV, you’ll need a pretty wide TV stand for the to be on. I wasn’t prepared as my previous TV had a thicker base in the center, which is more practical. When using the remote as a curser on the TV, it can be a bit laggy and isn’t as streamlined and smooth as you’d hope. This makes it take noticeably longer to switch between menus, input login formation, etc. Lastly, the instructions manual is a bit lacking which leads you to trying to figure out plenty on your own past the initial setup. That said, I can easily recommend this TV as the pros far outweigh any cons. The audio and visual output is just fantastic and this is great for those wanting a solid 4K TV without breaking the bank.

4K HDR on a budget
This is by far one of the cheapest “high end” TVs I have ever had. Some of the features and settings in this TV I don’t even have in a TV that cost 10x as much. Some settings include individual color tuner under Picture > Calibration settings and an Audio only option if you want to listen to music without using the power for the screen. Also with this running Android TV, it easily connected with my Android phone and imported my account and network settings. Once connected it did need to run some updates, but had several of the typical media apps already installed. It even has its own buttons for Netflix, YouTube, Google PLay and VUDU on the remote. This is my first Android TV, but I enjoyed the familiarity of Google, to include voice activated Google Assistant through the remote. There is a decent variety of apps available in the Google Play store, from video or music streaming to straight up video game playing. Some games will work with the remote, however several of them require a gamepad. I use the Steelseries Stratus XL and it easily connected via Bluetooth with the TV, which you can also connect a mouse, keyboard and headphones. The Play store is kind of limited though as you might look for your favorite phone game. However, being that this is running Android 8.0, you can find ways to install anything you want to. Although, the processing power of this TV is that of a mid to low end Android phone, so, even if you do get that one game installed, don’t expect it to run at it’s best. Also, there is only 4GB of storage available. As for standard TV capabilities it has Four HDMI 2.0 ports all labeled as 4K @60HZ and one with ARC. It also has two USB ports, one with .5 amp max, the other at 1amp. It has standard Ant/Cable, Ethernet, Optical Digital Out, Red/White/Yellow Component input and a 3.5mm headphone jack. If you intend to use an HDR capable device, it will work on any HDMI port so long as you go into the TV Menu > Picture and change HDMI 2.0 Format from Standard to Enhanced. Quality of the picture, with the right picture settings, looks colorful and detailed. However, I felt that it was a little dull, as in it could use more backlight brightness. However, it was still good enough for a well lit room, provided you sit directly in front of it. If you sit at any angle from this screen, everything appears washed out and even more dull. The full array backlighting works decently for low lit scenes, but the refresh of the screen appears slow with a bit of smearing in fast images. Also noticeable in a full bright screen is dimming in the corners. Audio is loud and clear, but sounds tiny, as many low budget TVs sound. There are settings to help give a fuller sound depending on your preference, but all sounded tiny. I have used this TV as a PC monitor and a gaming TV both in 4K HDR as well as streaming movies on Netflix in Dolby Vision and Youtube in HDR. With the Picture setting in HDR Game I didn’t notice any input lag. However, in high contrasting motion there is a blur effect that is noticeable, but not game breaking. If you don’t have it already, Netflix requires the upgraded 4K account to take advantage of Dolby Vision. The built in Youtube app had some dropped frames when watching 4K HDR content, but I think that is more of processing power of the Android system than the display as playing Youtube through my PC on the same video had no issues. Overall, for the price, this is a feature rich TV that can be the center of entertainment while letting you take advantage of 4K HDR and Dolby Vision content. It has the likeness of a high end TV with the signs of budget TV.

Good tv for the price
This Hisense TV is a budget value oriented TV set. I feel it does a good job at showcasing 4K content with vivid colors and clarity when you have a proper 4K feed being displayed. The Android TV software is a big plus and really makes this TV stand apart from others. This TV features ULED technology, local dimming, Dolby Vision HDR, and motion rate 240hz. Overall the picture quality on this TV is good, but not excellent. I feel as if the light bleed just has a haze or washed out feel to the screen. I also am comparing what I’ve seen to higher end Sony, LG, and Samsung TV's I saw at the store the day before. Those TV's cost a minimum of twice as much as this Hisense set, so you truly get what you pay for. The Hisense does a good job at making content easily available all in one spot. Access the Google Play store via Android TV and you can install apps you like to make your TV more efficient and suitable for your needs. I wanted to love this TV, but instead was just ok with it. I like the slim design and nice looks of it. The bezel is very thin and minimal, so it makes the screen look big as it goes almost all the way to the edges. The remote is easy to use and allows easy access to menus and home screens. This TV has plenty of inputs as well to plug in your various devices. 4 HDMI ports, 2 USB ports, ethernet port, antenna input, AV in ports, headphone port, and a digital out port. Usually at this price point the manufacturers limit it to 2 HDMI ports so I was glad to see the generosity of Hisense on this. I would recommend this TV for anyone wanting to jump into the 4K TV market, like myself. I think the value offered on this TV is spectacular and truly is for someone that is ok with a middle of the road picture quality. The features this TV offers make it an even better value as you don’t need to add on multiple streaming devices since you can utilize the Google suite to stream the content you’d like by installing the desired apps. If you’re looking for more stunning picture quality and darker blacks and contrast, you’ll be better off passing on this. But for the price point, this TV is a deal for the majority of folks I know.
