Hisense 43" 4k

cletus

If you are using a combi box, its easier to have all the channels coming through that, saves having to change inputs when you go from Irish to English channels. Ive the 50" and it has a satellite tuner as well as the terrestrial tuner, so I was able to get rid of the combi box altogether

DISCLAIMER-- Use this at your own risk! It is the update file i had on my computer for the Hisence 49"

Has anyone used this with the 49" M3000 TV and had no issues with it? Is the HDR option over HDMI working fine? Any issues with the smart apps?

The 65 inch seems to be a reasonable deal at the moment. Thoughts? http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/hisense-he65k55iouwts-65-inch-4k-tv-715-ao-2563811

Got my 43" this evening and I'm delighted with it. Wasn't 100% convinced of it as a monitor, but after using it for the past 2 hours I am. There's so much room for me to procrastinate now.

I connected a sat cable and tested the 4k channels on hotbird to see what the quality was like. The detail is unbelievable. The screen needs calibrating straight out of the box to get the best from it.

There is a little bleeding, but I have seen and owned much worse and it never bothered me. It's only noticeable when the screen is completely black obviously.

People were saying the sound is good and they were right. Very impressed with it, but I will continue using headphones probably.

After Amazon messed up, the total charge on my card was €301. So I am delighted with what I got for my money.
The last TV I owned & used up until 2 years ago was this behemoth, so this is a big upgrade. I almost broke my back moving the Sony the other day. The Hisense is really light, and the bezels are nice and thin. I would have happily paid the €400 for it.

Pics aren't the best but you get an idea.

does anyone know if Richersounds would match Amazon on price if requested?

the 40" on amazon is £329 and on Richersounds its £349

I asked, they said no because of the warranty that RS gives with the TV.
I was also advised they might if you ask in store, but not over the phone.

And yet their website says they'll beat any price 'even from the web'

Looks great!

Any chance you could measure the distance between the stand feet? Want to get one of these but not sure it will fit on my unit and can't find this measurement online?

I've a bit of ghosting around the sides but other then that it's great. I got HDR after I put the update on it and the option is there but it will only work when supplied with a source that supports 4k and I don't have any. Don't really use the smart apps only Netflix and YouTube and both work perfectly

I measured out what a 49" would look like on the wall of my newly extended kitchen. And even though it's a big room now, the TV will be absolutely huge! Even a 43" will look huge.
So going for the 43" LG from Richersounds at £20 more expensive, will stick that in the living room and move an old Philips 36" into the kitchen.

And some of you on here are talking about 60" TV's!!!!!

Its amazing how quicly you get used to the size. I have to 50" about a month now, and I'm looking at it wondering why i didnt go for the 55"

+1  with my last TV i was debating between 42 and 50 for my sitting room.  Was using card board to see what it would look like size was.  Someone advised me to get the 50" or I would regret it and it was very true advice.

At first it looked huge, but after two weeks it looked normal.  I was delighted i didn't get the 42".

1) Relax. You can return it for a refund easily.
2) If you're going to advise people to avoid it, it would help to give them details as to why you think it is pure crap.

I have a 10 year old Sony Bravia that is second to my new 43" hisense in every way.

Ivefoundgod

In what way? There's plenty of happy customers elsewhere, what exactly is wrong with it?

JaMarcusHustle

What's so bad about it coleslaw? How much did you pay for it? I might take it off your hands.

batistuta9

Probably watching saorview on it :pac:

Did you set the TV up properly? I know lots of people don't bother changing any settings on a new TV but at the very minimum you should turn off the advanced motion control type settings, it gets rid of that soap opera effect . Oh, turn off the adaptive back light setting too, the constant dimming and brightening will drive you crazy.

Here is a link to for picture settings, not for this model but the previous one, however I found it works well

Quick question which I can't seem to find on Amazon and there is alot of pages on this thread

How many HDMI are included?

Has anyone hooked up Fire TV Stick and powered off the USB port on the TV?

I am looking at the 49" version I think :-)

enviro

4 HDMI ports AFAIK
