Great value television! Yeah... it's not an OLED, but it's as close to OLED you're going to get for a mid-range TV. So far I'm happy!

Fantastic sound and even better picture for a geeat price. Colors are amazing and the gaming features for the TV compete against the top of the line TVs but for a much more affordable price.

For the price of this TV I couldn't ask for better. Everything works great out of the box. You may need to do a little fine tuning with the color settings but still great out of the box most people wouldn't notice the difference.

I did a lot of research before making this purchase. I already own a Sony Bravia 7. Its great! But for half the price the Hisense is equally great. As a bonus, the TV speakers are better than the Sony. I had to get a Sonos ARC soundbar for the Sony but the Hisense built in speakers are fine. I saved even more money. Just for peace of mind, I did buy the five year warranty coverage from BestBuy Geek squad. Great TV and and I sleep well at night.

I actually ended up returning this TV and choosing the 2023 Hisense U8K model instead. I paid $800 on sale during the memorial day sale, but I had recently tested out the U8K. This is a good TV as well, but to me the U8K seemed more vibrant with a more realistic looking picture and better color. The contrast is more consistent as well, the processing is more accurate imo. The U8K was on sale at 700$ for 100$ less as well so definitely made me happy that I liked it better. Opinion regarding picture quality is subjective and can definitely vary from person to person. I love Hisense TVs. They provide a lot of value for the money along with incredible performance. Not a bad TV by any means, I just personally preferred the 2023 model. You may love it!

Outstanding Picture and sound. I’m an very particular about the performance of any product I purchase.This Hisense television outperforms others that cost hundreds of dollars more. The picture equals most OLED’s. I can’t speak of dependability since I only had it for about a month, but Hisense has a standard warranty
of 2 years while Sony,,Samsung,TCL, and LG only has a 1 year warranty.

Great picture only if you are within about 30 degrees of center, then the colors get washed out. For the price of the TV, I would expect to have some manual that tells me how to configure it.
There are settings for audio and video that are not allowed, but the only way to find that is by trial and error OR download the manual on a PDF and scroll endlessly through it, then do trial and error. So buckle up and make some time if you get this product.
Once you get the basics of the inputs, you have to navigate through all the menus to turn off the built in camera and microphone. This isn't an "enhanced experience" this TV snoops on you and send it back to Google (or worse). I'm tired of having to opt-out of all this junk and would rather have to opt-in to decide how much of my life in my home private space I want Google to see.
I use this TV as basically a big monitor hooked up to a cable box, Roku, and DVD.
I would rather have a great picture just to see the inputs than a TV that provides an "Google Experience". The only reason I purchased this TV was the low price.

I needed a TV bright enough for our covered outdoor patio, especially in the afternoon when the sun hits hardest. We had a TCL 5 Series in the bedroom, but once we moved it outside, it just wasn't cutting it in terms of visibility.
After doing some research on NIT ratings, I was surprised to find how highly this particular model was rated—especially considering the price at Best Buy. We decided to give the 55" version a shot, expecting it to be “just okay.”
Wow, were we wrong ... like really wrong, but in the best way possible. Once installed, the whole family was blown away. This thing is bright at all times of day and looks absolutely stunning on the patio. It’s the perfect patio TV!

I am a huge research guy. Do it for a living. I take into account the specs and relevance of the spec and need for it. This tv blows away tvs twice the price and then some. Latest bluetooth version, atmos etc. Not an oled, but I have an LG with Oled, and this is more vivid and crisp. A steal at this price point.

This is an excellent tv overall. I have a well lit room and had a hard time viewing in the day, but this TV was awesome as its very bright. I had to make some adjustments to get to the color accuracy I needed.
The built in picture modes was not the best for me, but I could easily tweak the settings. The limitation of this tv is that it has very narrow viewing angle for the best view, you need to be facing straight at the same height. There was some minor backlit blead on the edges on view cinemascopic movies, but thats expected for backlit TV's

The picture, after changing the settings some, is very nice now. We don’t care for the Google OS system, but will get used to it. Sound from internal speakers is very nice in our smaller living room.

Very good picture quality, the anti-reflective seal on the screen is an incredible addition, it really helps reduce the reflection normally seen in all of my other flat screen TVs and monitors. Fir the price this one is really going to be hard to beat.

I love how you can customize the way the colors and the picture looks in every source. The picture comes through perfectly, no matter if you are watching a movie, the news, gaming, its enjoyable altogether. I would buy again, no question!
