We’ve had this TV up and running for about five days now, and we love it. The picture is bright, clear, and sharp. Setup was very simple (as described below). It comes with a stand, but we mounted it on the wall in our living room. While the TV is relatively light (about 40 lbs), the manual cautions you to have three people on hand during the unboxing process, two to remove the packaging and one to hold the TV steady. Of course, the last thing you want is to have your brand-new TV fall over! Mounting on the wall does require a bracket supplied separately, and you’ll obviously need to follow the instructions that come with yours regarding mounting the bracket on the wall and mounting the part that attaches to the TV to the back of the TV. Connectivity options are plentiful. There four HDMI ports, one of which has the all-important “eARC” feature which allows two-way communication between the TV and whatever is connected to this port. In my case, I connected my soundbar to this port, and eARC allows the TV’s remote to control the soundbar’s functions. The TV also recognizes what it attached, so when you are looking at what is connected to the various inputs, the menu displays the brand of the soundbar, rather than just saying “port 3" or whatever. There is also a single USB port, generally used for software updates, a coaxial cable connector for an external antenna, an “AV IN” port for listening to other audio sources through the TV, and a headphone port which presumably can be connected to simple external speakers (or a pair of headphones, of course). I have not used these two ports. This is a Fire TV, which means it has the capability of an Amazon Fire TV streaming device built-in. This also means that Amazon’s “Alexa” voice system can be used to control pretty much everything about the TV, including switching inputs, searching for programs or music, changing channels, and more. I have to admit that, while the Alexa feature works fine, I’m a bit old school, and I like the comfort of pressing buttons on a remote. But I am changing! There is, of course, an actual remote control (called “Voice Remote With Alexa) as well which can control many aspects of the TV including a button that activates voice control. It took a little playing around with it to get the hang of it, but I’m pretty good now. The remote requires two AAA batteries, which are included. As noted at the top, setup was simple. There is a guided setup process that appears when you turn on the TV for the first time. This is where you connect the TV to your home wireless network. The TV automatically pairs with the voice remote, but a process is described on how to rectify the situation if you experience issues with the pairing of the remote. All in all, we’re looking forward to years of good TV viewing!

I have had the Hisense 65" U6 Pro for a week now and I'm happy to say, Hisense continues to move the needle toward excellence. The U6 Pro does a lot of things well, although there are a few things that keep it from being a perfect experience. Unboxing: The process to getting this TV unboxed was honestly a chore. It arrived inside a wooden crate on a pallet, which meant removing a lot of screws before I could even get to the box itself. You might say the packaging did its job because it arrived without a scratch, however it was a bit overdone. Discarding all the wood, padding and packaging waste afterward was a headache. From start to finish it took me close to an hour just to get everything unpacked and cleaned up. Fire TV Interface: The biggest drawback for me has been the Amazon Fire TV interface. It feels crowded and sometimes unresponsive, whether it be a technical issue or optimization, this is my experience thus far. I have had instances where the screen would completely freeze and had to be unplugged and rebooted. Most of these issues started after trying Amazon Luna, which is promoted during the initial setup as a cloud gaming platform. Because of these issues, I am seriously considering using an external streaming device instead of relying on Amazon's Fire TV software, for all my streaming needs. Audio: I'm really impressed in the quality of sound output of the U6 Pro. The built-in subwoofer makes massive difference and provides much better bass than I expected from a television. Dolby Atmos coupled with IMAX and DTS features truly turn your home into a theater. Movies in particular have a fuller more immersive audio experience. Music also sounds very good. An external soundbar is definitely not necessary. But, that's a matter of opinion. Gaming Performance: Gaming has overall been excellent. The 144Hz refresh rate, VRR support and FreeSync Premium all make for a fantastic alternative to a traditional monitor. My games looked outstanding and the 1200 nits makes the HDR pop compared to my previous TV with only 1000. I also like that out of the 4 HDMI ports, 2 of them support the high refresh rate, so I can have my Xbox and ps5 connected simultaneously. Picture Quality: The picture quality took a bit of tinkering at first but is definitely the highlight. The default settings didn't really show what this U6 Pro was capable of. After making a few adjustments, the image quality was improved dramatically. Colors look vibrant and the panel is sharp. The screen handles daytime viewing very well thanks to its brightness and anti reflection screen. The super resolution feature is also extremely useful. We only have the 1080p streaming HBO Max plan but a lot of content looked far sharper than expected on this TV compared to the other one we were using. While the content may not be 4k, this TV does a wonderful job enhancing lower-resolution movies and shows. Summary: While there are a few hiccups, my overall experience has been great. From the crisp picture quality to gaming performance and superb audio, the U6 Pro has been a pleasure to use. The User interface/operating system is not my favorite and is my biggest issue. If Amazon can improve the software stability and overall user experience in a future update, this would easily be a five-star product.

Im glad I got a chance to pick up this 65 inch Hisense TV because my old tv was starting to show its age and i've heard amazing things about MiniLED. After using it for a few weeks i can honestly say it exceeded my expectations. The picture quality is the first thing that stands out. the mini led backlighting and qled panel make a huge difference compared to my old tv. colors look insanely bright and vibrant without looking fake, and the contrast is really good too. i watched a few movies the first night i got it and kept noticing little details in darker scenes that i never saw before. 4k content looks fantastic and even regular streaming shows seem sharper. i also do a decent amount of gaming and the tv has handled that really well. motion looks smooth and i havent noticed any major issues with lag. sports look great too, which was something i was worried about before buying. fast moving scenes stay pretty clear and dont turn into a blurry mess. the fire tv system has been easy to use so far. everything was simple to set up and i was signed into my streaming apps pretty quickly. the menus are responsive and i havent run into any crashes or weird glitches. the remote is straightforward too, which i appreciate because some smart tv remotes try way too hard to be fancy. sound quality is actually better than i expected from a flat screen tv, I still use my own soundbar but I tested out the built in speakers and was pretty surprised that the quality of the speakers was above average for sure. overall im really happy with this tv. between the mini led display, qled colors, 4k picture quality, and easy to use smart features, it feels like a lot of TV. if youre looking for a big screen upgrade without spending a fortune, this one is definitely worth considering.

My old TV was an entry level Hisense Roku TV purchased on sale for less than $400. It was much better than I ever expected it to be for the price but wasn’t great for certain sports (especially hockey and tennis). I decided to upgrade for a better picture and a faster refresh rate so I could see the smaller, faster balls and pucks. This TV fit the bill. In terms of looks, It’s not the thinnest TV. In fact, it is thicker than the older, cheaper TV it replaced. However, the back surface is much smoother and easier to clean. From the front, the bezels are very thin. The feet are not as good as on my previous 2 TVs. The TV is a little wobbly if you touch it. It doesn’t feel like it will topple, it just isn’t rock solid. The Remote: If you are familiar with Fire TV sticks, you will be instantly able to use this TV. The basics are easy enough. I’m still trying to figure out the more detailed settings. The streaming box we use for our cable company is apparently Fire TV based so the TVs remote does change channels and allows me to control a few other features as well. Setup: Because I already have a Fire TV stick, setup was super simple. I connected to my Phone Via Bluetooth, used a QR code to log into my Amazon account, and was guided the rest of the way by the TV. The initial update took longer than I expected, about10 minutes, but wasn’t too bad. I was able to import the same apps I had on my stick. OS: Fire TV isn’t my favorite. The home screen is a bit messy and I haven’t found a way to get it to always start on a specific input. Best I can do is have it open on last input. I wish the home screen was simpler. The Picture: This is the best part of this TV. The picture is brighter, more colorful than my last TV and can produce some surprisingly dark blacks. Motion blur is reduced somewhat but not as much as I had hoped, at least with hockey. I’m still adjusting settings. Setting it to Sports mode in picture settings helps, but hopefully I can find something to make it even better. I had read online that the picture degrades quickly as you move to the side. While it does somewhat, it doesn’t seem as bad as others described. Additionally, the anti-glare screen is great. I had so much glare on my previous TV, it could be very distracting. There is almost no glare on this TV. The Sound: It is surprisingly good. It won’t blow you away but it’s not painful to listen to like all my previous flat panel TV’s. It also has plenty of volume. I can hear it nicely at volume level 15. However, I’m not giving up my soundbar and subwoofer any time soon. Inputs: There are 4 HDMI ports. One is ARC Compliant. Two are compatible with 144 Hz inputs and the other two are 60 Hz max. There is also an ethernet port if you prefer a wired internet connection. There is a digital audio out jack and two USB ports for powering streaming sticks. There is also a coax in if you have an old school DVR or DVD Player that used it. One surprising omission is an aux out jack. I connect high-quality Bluetooth speakers to my other TV’s because they all sound so bad. I guess this is OK since the built-in speakers are decent on this TV. The Verdict: This is a very good TV. Especially considering features to cost. Comparable TVs from most competitors will cost much more. Again, not a fan of Amazon TV OS which is why a deducted a star. However, I definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a new TV with a great picture and good sound.

The Hisense Class U6 PRO Mini-LED is a great television, especially at this price point. I don’t think you can beat the QLED display. The crispness and contrast of the colors are a real selling point. The blacks are black and the colors seem to pop off the tv. The anti-glare matte screen is a really nice touch, pair it with the Ambient Experience, the tv looks like an art gallery at home. There are hundreds of art work that you can save as your Screen Saver, with a tap of the power button the art takes over. You can also use art apps like Artcast that has galleries already created. I have seen some negative reviews on the built in soundbar, at the price point I feel like the sound is pretty good. Its not like a 500 watt soundbar crushing you with power, but it is good enough for you to enjoy the base without feeling underwhelmed. If you hook up your gaming console or pc to it the 144Hz refresh rate along with the QLED display is a great combo for a long gaming session. This is a Smart Tv with the Amazon Fire interface and system built in. If you are used to the Amazon Fire ecosystems are will enjoy having it built in. If you are a google or Apple TV person this might not be the tv for you.

I am in complete awe of this new television. Having used an older television of the same exact size, I couldn’t possibly be happier with the resolution of this one. The colors are so vibrant and sharp. The display is also reflection resistant, so no more closing the blinds when viewing my shows. There are six different picture modes to choose from. The “Vivid” mode is my favorite. It also has options for light sensing and appears to adapt and adjust nicely to various lighting conditions. The sound was very poor on my older television and it sounds so much better with this one. There are five different sound modes to choose from as well. I’m just using the default for sound. The setup is very similar to setting up an Amazon Firestick, so it was extremely easy and straight forward. I simply had it copy from a previous setup and I was up and running in no time. The refresh rate is very good with no noticeable lag or pixelation when watching sporting related video. Overall, I couldn’t be happier with this television. It was easy to hang and looks great. It has a different function when hitting the power button once that puts the display into a picture mode.

Hisense did a really good job with this TV! The Hi‑QLED technology truly makes the images and colors pop, nothing looks dull or tinted. For me, it was basically plug‑and‑play. I didn’t tweak many settings; I just logged into my apps and it was ready to go. The operating system could use a bit more RAM or optimization since it can get slightly laggy at times, but it’s not frequent or disruptive, just something to be aware of. The sound is fantastic with Dolby Atmos. It’s immersive and absolutely strong enough on its own. I also really enjoy the AI features that adjust the picture based on ambient lighting to give you the best possible image. The TV feels pretty lightweight too. I wouldn’t set it up completely by myself, but it’s definitely manageable. It comes well‑equipped with Wi‑Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2, so connectivity won’t be an issue, and 4K streaming is smooth as long as your internet can keep up. It does include HDMI 2.1 ports, so you can fully take advantage of higher refresh rates for gaming and movies. As an all‑in‑one media hub, this TV really shines; music, movies, gaming, whatever you throw at it, this bad boy has you covered!
