Hisense - 65" Class R6G Series LED 4K UHD Smart Roku TV

This was a Christmas gift. I have been using this TV since January 6th. It was perfect for hockey as it was super easy to follow the puck. Well, that's all I really used the TV for. I "watch" shows at work as background noise, on my phone and do not typically watch TV at home. All this being said, I have not used this TV since the end of the Regular Hockey season. So the last time I used it, the TV obviously worked. Today it did not. I turned it on and the LCD was cracked. I live alone. There is nothing that would have been able to damage this screen. There isn't any kind of impact mark on the outer screen. Hisense will not offer a replacement or repair despite this being a very new TV. Buy from a company that cares about their customers. Stay away from this garbage company.

I have been in the market for a larger display for a long time, but my TV stand kept me from buying making the jump. Then I read where Hisense offered two positions for the stands, with one in the wide position & one for smaller stands on their larger displays. That was the deal maker for me. The 65-inch RG6 Series set using the narrow position (the feet are just 26-inches apart) allowed me to use a TV stand I have been using since the the nineties and meant I didn't need to buy a new stand & move furniture to accommodate the 65-inch set. I previously had a 55-inch set on the stand using a shelf to accommodate the wider stand. I was able to eliminate the shelf, too. As far as the performance of the TV, I am very impressed with the brilliant colors in both SDR & in 4K. The R6G is capable of both HDR-10+ and Dolby Vision color enhancements in the 4K mode. I looked at higher priced 65-inch TVs with many of the new whistles & bells like ULED (by Hinsense) and QLED sets or local dimming to improve black and found them not better enough to warrant the big price difference from the R6G. After unboxing putting the TV on my old TV stand (by the way the TV is very stable with the feet closer together), I began the setup process. The R6G is a Roku based TV. I have been using Roku for many years now, so setup was very easy & straightforward for me. Calibrating the picture: In all of the reviews of the R6G (in fact most all Hisense TVs), it was advised to use the "Movie" mode which is said to deliver the best color reproduction. Other modes were Sports, Normal & Vivid. There is also two additional modes for picture quality, "Picture Brightness" which has 4 choices ( darker-dark-bright-brighter) and I settled on "bright" for that setting. It has, like most TVs, "Color Temp." 3 selections - warm-normal-cool - on this one I went with "normal." There is also a setting for "Dynamic Contrast" which the experts advised to leave this in the "off" setting. I really did not see much (or any) of the contrast enhancement when trying this setting (off-low-high). In 4k (both HDR= and Dolby Vision which the TV automatically responds to the provided content) you only have 3 picture settings - Dark-Normal-Bright. In this mode I chose "Bright" and set the "Color Temp" to normal. I do not use this TV for gaming so I won't discuss how it handles that. Finally, the TV has what Hisense calls "Motion Rate 120." While the TV has a native refresh rate of 60Mhz, this says it "minimizes lag and provides fluid movement during fast-moving scenes." It is not adjustable or can it be turned off/on. I watched an NHL game and a NASCAR race over the weekend and both looked just fine. The picture looks very vibrant to me with this settings. Since I have never owned a high-end 4K display I might be blissfully unaware by how much better they are, but the more affordable price of this TV more than makes up for any differences. I seriously doubt they are twice as good for almost twice the price. That's just my opinion. The sound. Since I already have a Roku Streambar, I connected it using the HDMI with the ARC input (there are 3 HDMI inputs - I use all 3 with the soundbar, cable TV box and Blu-Ray player - I also connected the antenna so I have 4 inputs to work with). It delivers good, clear sound with its DTS Studio Sound processing. I do not have any satellite speakers or subwoofer beyond the soundbar so there is not much in the way of surround sound, but that is not the fault of the TV. The built-in speakers sounded OK but the soundbar has a richer quality and since I already owned it, why not connect it? The sound is also adjustable to fit your personal preferences. I give this set a full 5 stars because it checked all my boxes: Good picture quality: Check. Good sound: Check A stand that allowed me to keep my ancient TV stand; CHECK!!!!!! Price: CHECK!!!

Excellent quality for the price. Sound is a little iffy with streaming - tinny on some settings, you have to go in and tweak to find the best one depending on the streaming service you're using (I noticed it's worst on Prime). Great for gaming, a solid buy.

It was a smooth transaction. Only issue there was only one person working in television department. Fortunately, another employee named Tracey was very helpful and assisted me.

Fantastic value. The tv is light and easily put in a mount. The picture is sharp, bright and wonderful color. I couldn't be more pleased!

Amazing family time !!! Amazing good display!!!!!!!!

Excellent television for the price. Very easy to set up and install.
