Purchased this on sale for $299, The Best Buy didn't have a display unit to see what this under $300 TV looks like, I was reassured that BB has a 2 week return so I made the jump to this 55in 4k UHD TV. This unit has 3-4k HDMI inputs and good ole' composite (Red/White/Yellow) for the older DVD or gaming systems This TV has dual WiFi (2/5 GHz) and Ethernet (I use 5GHz for the faster speeds for any 4k viewing) Setup is straight forward, power on and connect internet system does updates configure your ROKU and it does more updates/installation for your ROKU Apps You will need to tweak the Video and Audio to your liken, this TV has presets for audio as well as video, and it has detailed configurations for both if your comfortable with this you will be more than satisfied with the complexity levels this $300 TV has Many other configurations as well like auto time off (4 hours) and default start up app, turn the TV off while watching ROKU and it can power on starting on the home screen or any of the HDMI devices, I have mine power up with the cable box so the wife doesn't have to toggle the menu This TV does have their version of surround, you can configure this in the audio configurations along with more adjustments for video/audio The ROKU/HiSense remote doesn't have the microphone, but this isn't even close to a deal breaker just download the ROKU Mobile Device Control App and you have some great features, Microphone, and my favorite you can have the audio from the TV play on your smartphone for private listening or connect your headphones to the smartphone. very nice I have Netflix as well as Amazon Prime so I was excited to see something in 4k, well pickens are slim and for Amazon Prime be prepared to pay an additional $19.99 for 4k UHD movies (pass) Netflix does offer most of their own (Netflix Produced) movies and shows in UHD 4k for no additional cost (if you have already have the higher priced plan) For the shows I did see in UHD 4k I was satisfied with the quality The attached picture is a 4k Netflix program, I was surprised with the quality If you are expecting the quality of the TV's that are $500 to a $1000 more, save your money, I retired my 7 year old Vizio and this quality is equal/better to that, and that Vizio cost me twice as much as this TV, This TV is at 60Hz Video refresh which is fine for this $300 TV If I had a place to put this I would purchase another one

I really didn't expect much from this TV as I had never bought or owned a Hisense TV in the past. I always stuck to buying Samsung, LG, Sony or Toshiba. But I found out Hisense bought Sharp's LCD business several years ago, and all Sharp TVs are made by Hisense. This information gave me a little confidence boost in trying out a Hisense TV. Although an identical TV (55R6000E) was available at Walmart at a lower price, it was impossible to find a Walmart store that actually carried such model at a heavily discounted price. After setting up the TV, I immediately noticed an improvement over my Toshiba AQUOS TV which once was a top of the line model a decade ago. My brother has a 1-yr old $1,000 LG 55-inch TV with all the bells and whistles but he was really impressed with ROKU's features and performance. The video/audio quality is also above expectation considering the price. I am really digging streaming video files from my desktop to ROKU. Hopefully, it will last me a few years until I move onto a bigger screen.

I had a 2 yr old H6 series Hisense that was awesome. Compared to that one the picture quality on this one is very average. It has a nice picture but you won't say to yourself "awesome". Not many picture settings to make it any better either. I was upset that for a TV that is suppose to have "motion rate 120" technology, there are no settings to adjust. In fact I couldn't tell this TV even had it. The contrast ratio of this TV is below average imho. This TV doesn't get very bright. Where this TV shines is playing 4k HDR content. Looked great. But upscaling to 4k was very average. Didn't look any better than 1080p. Roku worked fine and much faster than a 2 year old Roku Tv that I have in the bedroom. Now here is the big problem. I use windows media player on a PC for my DVR. The picture looked very blurry. Almost like 480i. What the!! Tried different cables and all 3 HDMI ports and it was the same on all. I decided to try using an HDMI switch and hooked up both this TV and an Insignia 55 4k Fire TV so I could see if thee was a difference. Heck yeah. The Fire TV was crystal clear HD and the Hisense looked gawd awful blurry. Tried game mode "notice there isn't an input labeled computer". No difference. Switched cables. It's not the cables. So either I received a faulty TV with terrible HDMI circuitry or heaven forbid, they are all like this. If your HDMI connections don't look HD, then you got screwed.

I've owned this Hisense R7E 55" TV for just over a week, and really enjoy it. The picture and sound are excellent, and the only imperfection I've detected is the sound might be softer on certain ROKU app content, requiring me to turn up the volume. There are plenty of settings for picture and sound, the WIFI is AC dual band, and has not dropped the signal, and I find viewing angles to be fine in my living room. For this price range (I paid $299.99), the only other 4K Roku TV I'd consider is the Sharp 58" model, which has a current price of $379 but I've seen priced as low as $349.99 recently. Sharp is made by Hisense, so I suspect quality and experience would be similar. For three extra inches of diagonal length, the extra $50 might be worth it. For a 55" Roku TV (and Roku is GREAT to have), I think this Hisense offers the best combination of price, quality, and value.

I bought this TV two years ago because the salesperson highly recommended the brand for the price. Also at the time of purchase the salesperson said that Hisense provided a 4 year manufacturers warranty. At this recommendation and the fact that I did not need to purchase an extended warranty, we bought the TV. A few months ago there started to appear some faded, darker spots on the picture and it progressively got worse. Yesterday, nearly the whole TV was darkened. Today, when you turn it on you briefly see the logo and then black, you can't see anything. I chatted with customer support at the beginning of this week, sent them a picture. Crickets for 3 days. I called them last night only for them to tell me that the warranty I was told about at the store was not real and that my two year old tv would need to be repaired at our cost. We have a Samsung that is 8 years old, no problems. This one, I would not recommend. Poor customer service and absolutely terrible product.

This tv met all my expectations and more. Easy set up. Great picture. Reading some reviews, there are complaints about the sound quality. However, the sound is fine depending of course, how far from the tv you are. Mine is about 18 feet away and 6ft high on the wall. The sound is good with volume level about 23. I do not need to add a sound bar with my set up. While this may be a Best Buy private label model number, it is of great quality. Hisense makes the SAME tv for JVC. It is a great tv for a great Best Buy price and I highly recommend this 55" tv with a price point BELOW $300. Because you may not know the name, don't shy away from it. It is a good value smart tv with great picture and sound. And the HD channels are awesome standout quality. I would purchase another from Best Buy.

This 4K 55" Roku television is an absolute steal for $300. It works well with all of the streaming services and Roku apps and has a nice picture and plenty of inputs and other features. No, it doesn't have the deep blacks or top-end visuals of more expensive sets, but it doesn't cost three or four times as much either, a trade-off I was happy to make. I have used this with the TV speakers (they work fine and are loud enough to hear dialogue clearly) and an optical output to an older surround receiver for surround sound. I recently connected it to a newer surround receiver via HDMI only for the ARC audio and CEC control and it works brilliantly for both control and audio.

At first i was hesitant to buy this tv to replace my samsung 51 plasma, so i did and to be honest it does not look better than the plasma but it is brighter and the features are great, now i end up keeping the tv for my bedroom but not for my main entertainment, at 300 this TV is great but i would not pay over 400 for this tv, picture is really good for an average tv but not great,if you want top quality HDR which is not that good then spend more on a samsung, Overall is a great tv if you not picky, i would rate it 5 if the blacks where better!
