    The picture is great, But after a month the screen is blinking or goes pinK, in order to use external sound you have to go from one input to another than back to the one you wanted to use and it won’t let me use external speakers with Roku for some reason and now due to this virus I can’t get anybody to help me at Best Buy or return it even though I have a two year warranty so I guess I’ll just wait till it’s safe to do so, but I really liked it at first until I started having all these problems with the screen going blank and coming back and going blank again.

    the picture is great but the operation is nearly impossible. The paperwork that comes with it is useless, nothing how to get out of programs the controller doesn't work well. Never had a tv so hard to figure out

    The picture is amazing! And I love the fact that this is a 240 refresh rate as appose to others that are only 120 refresh rate. It took a while to understand the menu options, but once figured out it is easy to control. Love this tv. Let’s see how long it holds up.

    I wanted to use this tv for awhile, in order to accurately review it. I’ve had this tv for a year, now. Visually, very good! However, after about 6 months the tv became glitchy. It would turn on by itself, for no reason(no presets). The tv and remote control sometimes are out of sync (no battery issue). I am now frequently having to unplug the tv for 60secs to “unstick” it from the apps section to watch tv. So, I never know what the tv will display each morning when I turn it on, despite consciously ensuring the tv is turned off in tv mode. This is my first android tv. I won’t purchase this brand again.

    At the price point I didn't expect this TV to have near-perfect picture as I see from other high end brands/models, however it had better quality than I expected. the menu/look is quite user friendly in my opinion, and I'm overall happy with the product.

    Never thought I would buy anything other than Samsung . But Hisense changed my mind with the me H8F . Works great , UI performs nicely . Picture quality is as expected with a $450 tv. My biggest complaint would be the inability to load the amazon app/apps .

    One hdmi port didn’t seem to connect good until the cord was fixed in a don’t touch it anymore position. The picture and sound are great. I haven’t tried the Bluetooth out yet but my intentions are to use headphones and watch from the bed.

    This is an entry-level 4K LED television. It supports HDR in various forms, including Dolby Vision. Getting it out of the box was not difficult. I had to do it myself and it is recommended that two persons unpack it, but I was able to do it alone because the television itself was not that heavy. I placed it on my bed facing down, on top of a soft comforter and mounted the legs and screwed them in without any trouble. (You will need a Philip screw driver.) The legs can be mounted in the "wide" or "narrow" positions depending on how you will place this on your entertainment table. If it were to be mounted on the wall, then you would not need the legs in place. I connected this television to a Samsung 4K Blu-ray player. It worked without any trouble but fine-tuning I feel is required. The initial set up will walk you through the Google Android program. I was able to set up my Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon prime accounts easily. It allows you to register, too. The serial number is displayed on the screen when that happens. My Blu-ray player was originally connected to a 75 inch 4K LG television and basically, it sits in front of that bigger one for this testing purpose. There are some settings that I played around. The living room where this set up was tested had a light in the corner of the room to the left but it is blocked with a room divider so there is no direct light shining on the screen. These are the settings that I felt that made the picture "pop." [Picture menu] Backlight: high Contrast: 65 Brightness: 35 [Advanced settings menu] Active contrast: high Color space: auto HDMI 2.0 format standard This television is not the same class as an OLED, and would be very unfair to compare it to one. However, with the settings above, it looks fairly close to it. Black areas of the scene are dark enough (again, in a fairly dark room) and I was pleasantly surprised to think of this as a poor man's OLED. With a dark screen and an object in the middle (a full moon, at night), the rest of the screen was pitch dark. My 75 inch LED LG can't even do that! I think it's due to the fact that there are more backlights (smaller ones) that can be turn off and on on the fly. Basically, out-of-the-box the contrast were too low and with the setting above of 65, it became quite snappy. Fast moving actions look good to me at the default setting. Playing a few 4K Blu-ray movies – they look pretty good. Valerian and Laureline (4k version) looked absolutely beautiful. The illumination is even across the screen when I tested it with a blank screen (created it myself in Blu-ray format.) No dead pixels – no lines – no blotches were seen. One thing I noted and was able to duplicate was that the Samsung 4K player had the setting of deep color through the HDMI connector. When I set it at automatic, the television worked without any trouble. Otherwise, the screen became corrupted if I set the deep color to its highest setting ("enhanced") – like the good old days when you said a television to a channel that had no signal. The picture was white with spots all over it and the sound was noisy. Think of the scene from the movie Poltergeist when the little girl was sitting in front of the television after it went off the air. This was with HDMI 2.0 format set to standard or enhanced - problem still occurred. But luckily I wasn't able to tell the difference between deep color from automatic to the highest or even when it is turned off, but I was hoping the television would handle this with more grace. It didn't break the television, but when it first happened, I thought it was going to blow up! I played a Criterion Collection movie (Blu-ray format) "Some Like It Hot" (scene of Marilyn Monroe singing "I want to be loved by you.") And it looked stunning. The sound is not shabby either. I don't like my television too loud, and I turned up the sound and it was perfectly fine. It was clear and I was able to hear it from the end of the room. But if you like it louder, you'd need a sound bar. I moved from side to side to see if I was still able to view the screen clearly, and I was pleased to say that it was clear enough so if this were to be used by a small group of people, everyone will be able to view the screen without any problem. One thing I did not do is connecting it to a regular antenna. I only watch my movies through the Internet (cable Internet 400 speed) and Netflix, Youtube, Hulu and Amazon Prime looked great. Netflix has many of its own shows in 4K (or HDR, but I have not seen one in both, i.e. 4K HDR), and they all looked fine. This was through the Blu-ray player and viewing with the television with the Blu-ray player off. (Hence connected to the Internet/modem router wirelessly.) Do I recommend this television? For the budget conscious buyers – yes, you won't be unhappy with this if it were your first television.

    I ended up getting the TV after giving my parents my old 46 inch. The picture quality is not bad for watching movies. However the quality for gaming on the other hand if not so great. For the price I say it's decent.

    Its a great TV at this budget, good build but UI(system) stuck a lot. Took me a while to figure out the system to make it smooth. Chromecast is working fine, Dolby vision and HDR delivers great.
