Customer Ratings & Reviews

Overall The 2025 Hisense 55" Class QD6 Series QLED TV is positioned as an affordable option suitable for everyday viewing. It's a simple setup and surprisingly good built-in audio. While it offers decent picture quality and a user-friendly smart platform, potential buyers should be aware of limitations in contrast, black level reproduction, viewing angles, and gaming features. Additionally, the TV appears to require an internet connection for accessing apps, even those that might not inherently need it. Features This TV features a 55-inch QLED display with 4K resolution and a 60Hz refresh rate. It is powered by Amazon's Fire TV OS, granting access to a wide variety of streaming services and applications. 10gb of internal storage for apps and works as an offline TV without limiting features. The design is light and easy to mount, a single person can safely lift it. Setup is quick, and the TV can automatically detect and guide the programming of a soundbar remote. The internal speakers support Atmos. Cons - Features Color accuracy may lean towards darker hues compared to some alternatives. The absence of local dimming contributes to a lack of strong contrast, where bright colors can appear vivid, but black levels tend to present as a washed-out grey. Put a black screen and you get a very light grey. Furthermore, for the diy/self-hosting community, accessing applications seems to necessitate an internet connection, even for apps that don't inherently require online access. This doesn't imply your favorite streaming service such as Netflix or Prime Video, you'll always need internet access for those. This is specifically for accessing a personal media server or local DLNA server with media content. As soon as you open the app library, it tends to ask, and prevent, accessing said apps. A viable workaround is digging through settings and locating "Applications" > "Manage Installed Applications" then launching your desired app. Performance The Hisense QD6 offers satisfactory picture quality and effectively manages reflections. It exhibits a high native contrast ratio in specific scenarios. The integrated speakers, with Dolby Vision and Atmos support, provide surprisingly rich sound. Its 4K resolution and 60Hz refresh rate are adequate for casual gaming. Cons - Performance The viewing angle is narrow, leading to color distortion when viewed from the sides. The maximum brightness is limited, potentially causing issues with glare in well-lit rooms. The 4K 60Hz limitation and lack of advanced gaming technologies like VRR may not satisfy dedicated gamers. The upscaling of lower-resolution content is not particularly refined. A significant drawback is the lack of strong contrast, where blacks can appear as a washed-out grey, impacting overall image depth. Other Considerations While the internal speakers offer commendable sound, a dedicated soundbar and subwoofer can significantly enhance the audio immersion. The initial remote programming for external audio devices might require a couple of attempts to find the correct codes. A notable point is the apparent requirement for an internet connection to access applications, even those that might not inherently need it for their functionality, limiting offline use. Conclusion The 2025 Hisense 55" Class QD6 Series QLED TV serves as an accessible entry point in the world of smart televisions, particularly for those on a budget. Its ease of setup, decent sound quality, and user-friendly Fire TV OS are notable positives. However, potential buyers should carefully consider its limitations in contrast and black level reproduction, narrow viewing angles, limited brightness, basic gaming capabilities, and the apparent need for a constant internet connection for app access. While it can be a good value for casual viewing in darker rooms, these drawbacks might be significant for users with specific picture quality or usage requirements.

My son loves his TV. very easy set up. Shipping was very fast.

The tv is ok just don't like picture quality other than that it's a good TV.

Poor picture when not looking straight on with a washed out pale look. Also only has one audio output so unable to use headphones & use tv volume together. Would have spent more to get a better tv if this were known

Great tv for the price. Fire tv is also very good and fast.

Great tv for a great price Hisense is a budget friendly tv

Television was great for the price but it did not allow for full integration into my home environment. The device seemed to have a specific list of apps that it allowed to be used. That restriction made the device less functional to me.

We purchased this TV and it did not work. Called customer service and it was an "easy" exchange... until they didn't even speak a tiny bit of English, they didn't pick up the old TV I had to call Best Buy twice for them to come get the old TV. Then the replacement TV also did the same lag issue. Try to shut it off? Good 30 seconds. Try to turn up or down the volume? Same long delay. Terrible TV DO NOT RECOMMEND BEST BUY OR HISENSE

Do Not purchase this crap! Sound goes out, tv goes black and now has black spots that they will not cover!! Warranty from Hisense and Best Buy-useless! They lie and say it's not covered-Donot buy from Best Buy!! Membership also a joke!

For the price, tv is fair and decent with realistic expectations. Picture is ok. Low budget option.

Returned this TV because the audio wouldn't turn off when the TV was off (especially annoying to have the audio come back on in the middle of the night) and when we changed from the antenna to an app we had the audio from both playing at the same time. Replaced with a 2nd one (same model TV) and still have problems getting the audio to turn off. I wouldn't recommend this TV to anyone unless they figure out the problem and issue a software update to fix it.

Setup and everything went easily enough. Haven't had a ton of usage with it yet since I just moved. Will update when using it more.

I could not get this item because the store had NO ABILTEY TO DELIVER SO I JUST WENT AND GOT MY MONEY BACK IT WOULD HAVE BEEN OK IF THEY JUST TOLD ME IT COULD NOT HAVE BEEN DONE ! BUT NO THEY YEXTED A NUMBER OF TIMES SAYING IT WAS ON THE WAY BUT AT 6 PM THEY TEXT ME AND DAID THEY DID NOT HAVE A TRUCK ITS NOT THAT BIG OF A TV AND I HAD TO WAITH 3 WEEKS FOR THE FIRST NO SHOW AND THEY SAID THEY WHERE REALLY BUSY AND IT WOULD BE 2 MORE WEEKS TO RESCHEDULE I LOVE BEST BUY AND THERE PRODUCTS BUT THE DELIVERY SERVICE STINKS

I've had this TV for 45 days, and it's been really frustrating. It freezes frequently and lags when opening apps. Unfortunately, the return period has expired, and I'm not sure how to resolve the issue. Given the performance, I wouldn't recommend this model .

Easy to use great price but the picture wasn't the best,

Tv would not turn off. You turn off and it would turn back on again. Had to return

Love the TV, however sometimes have issues with it.

I’ve had this tv for about two months now and I’ll start by saying I wanted to love it. But it just became clunky and slow. I’m not sure if it’s the Fire TV interface or the TV itself or whatever.

Unfortunately, this was one of the worst shopping experiences I’ve had. I purchased a TV as a gift and everything went wrong: • The delivery had to be rescheduled — the TV was only delivered on the second attempt. • I specifically requested a gift message to be included — there was none. • Customer service promised a bonus for the inconvenience, but it’s been over two weeks and I still haven’t received anything. I’m very disappointed with the lack of care and follow-through. I expected better service from Best Buy, especially when purchasing a gift.

I have only had this TV for no more than two months and it's already glitching on me and the remote no longer works. Purchased from Best Buy and the return period is only 14 days. Will never purchase a Hisense product again.
