Hisense - 65" Class - LED - H9F Series - 2160p - Smart - 4K UHD TV with HDR

Excellent 4k tv for the price unbeatable value ...does excellent job of upscalling SDR and HDR content and really good with games too low input lag...Overall the best TV I ever had...the only thing it lack is dolby atmos...other that amazing TV...

Very nice tv for its price. Pictures are very colorful and bright. Blacks are blacks. We like this tv more than our small Samsung 4k. There was banding (rarely), a restart fix that. Sports game look awesome on this tv because of its high refresh.

Purchased the 65, worth it. BB delivery ran 2-hours late but they called. After arriving, I was able to see inside the rented Enterprise truck where all the TVs for delivery were secured properly and upright ^-^!! Carefully unboxed and flipped, I attached the stand. It takes a bit of muscle and care to press the sides and lift, but very doable. Two people are ideal, yet when alone... Turned on, WiFi connected, the H9F updated its system. I like Android, and have not experienced the reported lag, but I do see the bit of shadow in the corners as reported. There is no Dirty Screen Effect present. This machine upscales nicely, HD content is lovely and the built-in speakers are supergood! 100% pleased with purchase.

I'll open with admission that when it comes to televisions, I've been a name brand snob for many, many years. Even among the top names it's been hard to convince me to consider anything other than two of them. I've been awakened. The Hisense H9F 65" Smart TV is really nice. Starting with beautiful real metal details such as the thin brushed bezel and the matte base, then the super easy Android/Google Assistant set up and features and finishing with the all-important picture quality - I'm impressed. I find myself turning it on for no reason other than to mess around with the features and see the beautiful images moving across the screen. The remote is appropriately simple. Buttons include the standard (numerals, directional, volume, channels and stop/pause/play, etc) and also a Google Assistant button allowing you to go home and exercise voice commands ("Play Anthony Bourdain Parts Unknown") the screen will show options and you just pick one. The Android interface is intuitive and pleasing to the eye. There are tons of apps to download from Google Play including shows, music services and games. Most of your favorite wirecutter TV services are available too. Finally, the sound is pretty good for a flat screen. I'll still add a sound bar and subwoofer because I geek-out and love watching live concert recordings at home, but the average person will enjoy the native sound.

Tl;dr: Good colors, deep blacks, Android TV at a great price with a very useable interface. 30 degree off axis viewing sitting on a 28” wide base displaying fast motion well with the right setting. Decent sound without a soundbar. Made in Mexico. Prime video and Netflix apps are not usable as of this review. First, Hisense is a for-real brand of TV. If you search the web, you’ll find they do as much R&D on displays as Samsung and Sony. They’ve been marketed in the US as a “value” brand, but really have the same technology prowess as the more established brands. This will be evident when you turn on the set and see the sharp picture and gorgeous colors that a quality 4K bluray disk produces on this set. Reviews from several reputable sites (rtings, Tom’s Hardware, Cnet) put this set head to head with Samsung’s Q90 and it comes out favorably, despite being half the cost. It uses the same color display technology but uses 140 local dimming zones instead of 480 on Samsung. More than competing sets from TCL (series 6) and Vizio (Quantum P Series). It’s well calibrated out of the box. There’s also a calibration menu if you want to adjust for the best picture. Amazon has a couple of calibration disks to choose from. Since you’re not comparing to other sets once you get it home, I’ll focus on usability. It has a voice control remote, but will also work with IR universal reports.Hisense included Android TV with this series which allows you to natively run apps from Hulu and many other providers. Netflix is preinstalled, but I couldn’t get it to work. Hisense support indicated that Amazon is also incompatible with their set. There are 4 HDMI 2.2 ports on the side and an optical audio out for versatility with your set up. The apps run quickly with full functionality once you sign in. Setup was very straightforward if you have a smartphone, especially if it’s Android based. While Android TV offers more channels/apps than any other embedded TV platform, support may be an issue, as was the case with Netflix and Amazon. Fortunately for me, I have a 4K Blu Ray with those apps. The stand is significantly narrower than other sets this size. It sits 28” wide under the set and 11” deep. There’s space under the set to lay a movie box, dust, and otherwise keep a neat area. If you have a narrower TV stand already, you likely won’t have to purchase a new one for this set. TCL’s is 48” wide by comparison and would have cost an additional $100-200 for a stand in my house, as I was moving up from a 50” Panasonic plasma set with a center stand. A soundbar fits easily in front of the set, without blocking the bottom of the screen. Off axis viewing is my only gripe with this set. Once you’ve moved ~30 degrees off center, it becomes noticeably dimmer and the colors start to shift. This was never an issue with my plasma set. Sports look very good on the Hisense compared to the Panasonic. No noticeable blurring in baseball or football. Hopefully, hockey will look the same! For those concerned about a Chinese company, this set is actually made in Mexico, not China (unlike many of its more expensive competitors). There’s a lot of plastic parts, which I’m sure contribute to the lower price. It’s not the sturdiest set on a stand, but since the stand is sturdy and I don’t live in an earthquake prone area I’m not too worried. Overall, this was a great upgrade for me from my 10 year old plasma. While the motion isn’t quite as sharp, it’s good enough for the action movies and TV dramas that I enjoy the most. The deep contrast and wide color space more than make up for the minor drop in motion smoothing. This is a very good set and ALSO has an extremely competitive price. I predict Best Buy will have a hard time keeping these in stock.

I replaced a 2019 Vizio P-Series Quantum with the 65 inch Hisense H9F. The H9F doesn't have the brightness or the black levels of the Vizio, but it destroys it in everything else like it's on an entirely different playing field. Couldn't be happier with this "budget" set for what I use it for. I only stream HD and UHD content, and play video games on PS4. For me personally this is a great TV outside of some cons listed below. I would have no problem recommending it others if not being viewed in a dark room. Pros: - Amazing colors. Vizio had some impressive colors, but this set is even more amazing. - Very good motion. - Great overall picture quality. HDR & Dolby Vision content looks spectacular. - Low input lag for gaming - 65 inch TV for $899 - best picture in this class and higher - Very little Dirty Screen Effect and screen uniformity Cons: - The remote has to be pointed directly at the TV to work and there's a noticeable lag for menus to come up. - Black levels are a hit or miss at times. Some content would have inky black levels and other content will show up a bit washed up and greyish. Not horrible, but not great. - Blooming and clouding are a thing in dark scenes especially in HRD. This can be very distracting and annoying. You have to watch the TV pretty dim to eliminate most of the blooming and clouding to be minimal. I would not recommend this TV for dark room viewing. Not very noticeable, if at all in a bright room though. - Does not like older HDMI cables. My older cables worked for all devises on the Vizio, but this TV would not pick up signal with older cables so I had to update all cables to 4K 18 Gps and problem went away.

The HiSense 65H9F is a great value for your money. It is on par with other big name brand televisions out there. Unboxing was easy, I appreciated that it came in a plastic bag with handles that you could use to lift the tv out. Putting on the feet was easy too and it just involved 4 screws. Make sure you calibrate your picture settings to get the best out of this television. There are some online sites that have settings you can try out to get the best picture. With that being said once you have everything setup the picture you get for the price of this television is gorgeous. The bezels on this television are also thin making screen real estate look huge. I’ve tried watching Netflix content with 4K Dolby Vision and this thing performs like a much more expensive TV. I’ve also tried 4K content on YouTube and the H9F shines. The blacks are inky and the scenes are sharp. It actually performs better than my much more expensive television I bought last year. Some of these manufacturers will have competition with HiSense with the release of the H9F. This tv also has 4 HDMI ports, 2 USB ports, ULed, Full array local active zones, Quantum dot, Dolby Vision HDR, Android TV. As far as the sound I haven’t tested it yet as I have it connected to my soundbar out of the box, which it connected seamlessly to. I’m happy to see manufacturers producing products like this that give you some much more for your money. You get a great picture without having to spend so much on another brand with similar performance. Overall I’d recommend getting this television if you are looking for the latest in 4K and don’t want to spent more.

Super excited to experience my first Android TV. Set up was as easy as signing into a new Chromebook or cell phone. And excited to put it through it's paces when the NBA season starts up! After setting it all up and using it I have some pros and cons. Pros: - The picture quality is straight up excellent. Deep blacks and punchy vibrant colors to compete with the Samsung's and LG's. - The UI is nice and clean, uncluttered with a bunch of unnecessary things. - The design is not something you really talk about a large rectangle but it has a near borderless display which is just excellent. - Google and Google assistant integration just makes using it a little easier. Cons: - The UI is very laggy, for my setup, I only use a few apps and it just takes too long for the TV to respond. Navigating through the menu and apps is slow. Using the voice control seems to be the quickest way to get where you want to be. Hopefully and update is pushed out to address it. Overall I feel this is a good TV that just needs some tweaking mostly to the processing of tasks to be great/amazing.
