    I like this tv but it is hard to understand how to use it. When you are on YouTube the volume goes way up when there is an ad.

    TV was working great for 6 months then quit working. First, the HDMI ports stopped displaying my game consoles. Then, about a month later, the TV wouldn't turn on all together. Tried contacting Hisense, but they didn't help much. This is the first and last time I trust Hisense. Very disappointed in them.

    AVOID, TV turns on in the middle of the night

    I bought this tv because my sister had Hisense TV for many years. Howver, i would not recommend. The tv turns on by itself in the middle of the night, usally twice. Apparently this is a common issue with this brand, which i found out after a quick google search. Based on what others have said this happens when you have a device plugged into the tv (i.e. apple tv). It does not seem like there is a solution to the problem other than unplugging the TV everynight , which is not ideal. Unfortunately, i bought this tv and mounted it and threw out the box so i dont think Best Buy will let me return it, but I’m still going to try.

    I regret purchasing this TV. After 3 months, the TV will not connect via WIFI, and in order to watch the TV you need to connect via ethernet. Otherwise you will be watching local channels if you have an antenna. I contacted the company for warranty support and have not heard from them in months. I will never again purchase this tv.

    I just set up the tv and when i connected a gaming consol to it the screen goes black whenever i click on a game to play at first i thought it was the cord and i switch led a couple of hdmi cords to no avail. Then i messed around with the picture settings and still the screen is black. The only fix i could find was either switching inputs or manually changing the the picture mode every single time i switch games

    Not to bad..and not a Promo review?

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Everything i expected in a $159 QLED. Picture quality is very good. Fast paced action movies not as good (tolerable not horrible) minor blurring on some scenes. Other than that its crystal clear. I have not seen anything on or in settings about HDR. Im beginning to wonder if it actually has HDR. Google account required to access tvs full potential (apps). I noticed more and more companies are making things that force you to have an account to use the product. FYI even tvs want to track you and target you for Ads/location etc, this being one of them. I guess the days of buying a simple TV are gone. You can use this TV without a google account and just toss your fire stick or HDMI device in. I would recommend this TV for the money. Deducted one star because i turned on the TV and it was a blank screen. Had to unplug it and plug it back in. It would not load the main menu 5 minutes after i powered TV back on. It has only done it once. Also the star deduction was for minor blurring during some scenes during fast paced action movies. For $159 i cant really complain to much. I will say it's better than I expected it to be. I actually took back both VIZIO TVs after comparing the 3, one being a QLED. this TV was $100 less than the VIZIO QLED and this one has a better picture. I plan to hook up my sons Ps5 and see how it really does with motion. I will update the review with the gaming outcome on a 60HZ TV. Hopefully this review helps. Has anyone else noticed juat about every review on best buy is now linked to a promotion or sweepsteaks? I feel you don't truly get honest reviews from people that got a huge discount. Something ia up with all of the prmo reviews. It honestly made me not even want to buy a TV because i couldn't find one review that wasn't part of a Promo. I think the Promo reviews actually scare people away from buying because it appears sketchy.
