Hisense - 70" Class A6G Series LED 4K UHD Smart Android TV

I’m not familiar with Hisense TVs, so I wasn’t sure what to expect…but, knowing it was one of the “off” brands (at least, within the United States), I didn’t expect much. I know that Hisense has actually been around a while in other countries. I also k now that, in somewhat-recent years, they purchased the rights to produce Sharp-branded TVs for the North & South American markets. For the long-term, I still don’t know what to expect from this Hisense TV…but, for right now, I’m actually impressed. As my parents are up there in age, I felt this would go best in their living room…plus, it would be a huge improvement (size-wise) over the 55” TV in their living room. UNBOXING & SETUP: For the ‘unboxing’ portion, honestly, there’s not much to say. The packaging by Hisense is pretty-much standard for large-screen TVs & computer monitors. You don’t even “open” the box. There are 4 plastic “clips” along the bottom (two on each side) holding the top piece of the box to the bottom – simply squeeze the plastic tabs together, lower the tabs downward, and pull plastic pieces away from the box. Once all four are removed, you simply slide the upper box piece off & lay it on the floor, remove the Styrofoam piece from inside the lid (as it contains the legs), lay the cardboard piece protecting the front of the screen on top of the box, and then lay the TV (face-down) on the box. To attach the legs, each is held in place by a ‘pin’ & two screws. Interestingly, Hisense provides two different mounting positions for the legs – you can have them further out (close to the TVs edges) for wider TV stands…or, you can have them approximately a foot in from each edge, for narrower stands. Once the TV is physically in place, going through the setup process is extremely simple as unboxing – ESPECIALLY if you’re using an Android phone/tablet. You can do the setup procedure before, or after, connecting a cable/satellite box, but I chose to do it before. Simply open your Google app, and type in “ok google set up my device”…and, it walks you through everything else. I’ve had “smart” TVs that were easy to set up (my Sony, for example)…but, honestly, this was the EASIEST TV I’ve ever set up. Once I logged into my Google account, everything else, including transferring my Wi-Fi settings, were automatically done. IMAGE & AUDIO QUALITY: Here’s where things get ‘interesting’…and NOT for any “bad” reason, but purely because everything was better than I expected. Colors are not ‘bright’, but neither are they ‘muted’. Surprisingly, colors look quite ‘natural’…and, images are sharp. Speaking of Sharp, I had the opportunity to test one of the Sharp 4K TVs produced by Hisense a coupe years ago, and I was NOT impressed. Now, remember, Hisense manufacturers BOTH brands, on the same assembly lines, so one would think both brads were of similar quality…they aren’t. With the Sharp, colors were ‘muted’, and the image appeared “slightly out of focus”. This Hisense, on the other hand, is quite the opposite. Color me impressed. Moving onto the audio side, the TVs built-in speakers won’t be used, as a soundbar has been set up…but, I did spend some time testing them before setting up the soundbar. The truth is, people don’t expect much from speakers built into TVs. They’ve always been known to be ‘subpar’, and underpowered, and producing “barely ok” quality sound. Surprisingly, the speakers built into the Hisense TV produced sound that was much better than I expected…and, even better, they are NOT ‘underpowered – they can get quite loud (although, admittedly, the sound also becomes slightly distorted at those high volume levels…but, as I already mentioned, this TV will be used with a soundbar). For those not connecting a home theater sound system, or adding a soundbar, the speakers built into the TV will serve you well enough. FINAL VERDICT: As I said, I’m impressed. After the Sharp TV fiasco, knowing that Hisense manufacturers both brands, I wasn’t expecting much. Let’s just say, I’m glad I decided to give Hisense a shot. Sure, it’s not a “high-end” TV…but, it’s also not marketed as such – it’s marketed as a “budget-priced, higher-quality, smart TV”, and I believe Hisense has hit their mark. Images look very good, colors look ‘natural’ (and that’s without the TV being calibrated), and audio quality is better than average. For those looking for “spectacular images, and outstanding audio”, this is not the TV for you. But, for those who want a good image, with realistic-looking color, and audio that’s better than what you’d expect to find on most “budget-priced” TVs, this TV will prove to be a great choice…plus, it won’t cost you an arm & a leg. Put another way, my parents are EXTREMELY happy with it. They’ve been away this past month, and they were aware that I had a ‘surprise’ for them…but, I did not tell them what it was. They returned a couple days ago…and, I can tell you, they haven’t even touched the TV in the bedroom. The Hisense (in the living room) has instantly become their “most watched”.

Nevertheless, the above review, be it positive, negative, or anywhere in-between, is a 100% honest review, and the price paid played absolutely no part in my review.

I bought this for a garage TV. I have a $3800 Samsung 8K OLED 75" in the living room and love it, but I couldn't justify spending that kind of money on something that goes in the garage. I didn't expect the same quality as the Samsung, but was pretty pleasantly surprised at how good the picture is and how many features it has. Is it as good as the Samsung? No, but it also cost $3100 less, and unless you did a side by side comparison, you probably wouldn't notice much difference. I highly recommend this TV if you are on a budget, or it's for a spare room or something. I bought a $70 sound bar, and it's perfect! About the only down side is that I can't download the AT&T TV app at on the TV. That's an Android issues though, not a Hisense issue. Picked up a used Apple TV box and hooked it up so I can use it to stream AT&T. I paid $669.99 for this TV and the next day I see it's on sale for $619.99 I went back to Best Buy with my receipt and they immediately refunded me the $50.00 no questions asked. Two days later it's back to the regular price, so I really scored!

I originally wanted an LG OLED as my upgrade from an 11yr old 32in Vizio. I had to look long and hard at my options and price was a factor. It will take me another year to save up for the LG. My old 32in was causing severe eye strain. I couldn’t even enjoy video games anymore. I opted for a large budget friendly 4K that at least had Dolby Vision. I watched a lot of review videos before deciding on this TV. I am fully aware of what I purchased and it’s a massive upgrade on nearly every level. I’ll be honest though, the remote sucks. It apparently needs a direct line of sight and since my TV is on the ground it’s a lot of point down to switch inputs. Games look amazing as does HD content. Finally playing PS5 and Xbox in 4K is amazing. Plus I don’t have to sit three feet in front of the screen to see anymore.

I've had a few Hisense TVs along with my share of other brand name TVs, originally used as a spare room TV but quickly moved to my main TV after my brand name main TV died on me and now probably won't go back. Quick Summary Awesome TV for the great value and features you get. Picture quality can go head to head with other big brand names TVs! User interface, it's a Google TV, so ease of use and navigation. Major improvements over the previous Hisense TV. Processor is much faster, no lag! TV Quality The TV itself is quite thin, obviously not the thinnest on the market but definitely thinner than I expected from a lower cost TV brand. Mounts are aluminum and solid, most brand name TVs are using plastic mounts so going to aluminum mounts is so just so much nicer and sleek looking. The remote has been revised from the previous generation Hisense but keep the same function. My previous Hisense would have remote issues but they've fixed it with this newer version. Another issue I previously had was the lag, Hisense upgraded the processors (this was something I previously did not pay attention to) that has significantly improved usability and enjoyment of user experience. This is something that is big now for me using man high end and mid range TVs. Overall, I would highly recommend this TV to anyone looking for great value with great picture quality and user experience!

1st off all my previous smart TVs were Roku, so thats the standard. The Android interface seems more plodding, less convenient definitely slower. The controls are very difficult to find for a specific area. Presets are difficult at best. Do not try to change your mind too quickly or the entire unit does a huge pause, then it reboots. The biggest disappointment is the viewing angle. For being LED if you're a side angle, roughly 40 degrees, the picture goes onto a yellowish haze & is very difficult to watch. So far, not my best BB purchase. It is NOT a user friendly interface with PLEX for those of you that use that streamer much. It's difficult & slow, plus missing a lot of the convenience of the overall app even in comparison to the web version. I would have to talk to the friend before I'd recommend they purchase.

Very happy with this replacement TV I originally purchased a Vizio which Is a more popular brand but much slower and broke down after year 3. I took a gamble on this brand and couldn’t be happier, it is very responsive and made for streaming plenty of apps available and the colors/contrast on the TV are excellent. The sound is incredible not just loud but you actually have clarity, the remote is much nicer than Vizio and has quick buttons for Netflix you tube Disney prime and peacock. Paid $549 for a 70 inch on Labor Day which is a great price. No one paid me for this review just doing my part to share my opinion of the tv for the average joe looking for a deal, your welcome :-)

I liked the quality of the product, the resolution is very good, surplus tv

The price, the quality, the features, so far so good, but I miss Roku Channel, my other Hisense 65 does have it.
