    Does anyone know why my TV turns itself on sometimes? I'm not sure what it's doing but the red standby light will be on, then it goes blue and starts flashing for a few seconds before going back to red. The actual screen never comes on though.

    I wouldn't notice it but for the LED strip I have plugged into the USB port. When the TV turns itself on for a few seconds it sends power to the LEDs and they come on too.

    I have the 40 inch and haven't noticed this happening. I wonder if it has anything to do with the CEC function, which can be turned off. It allows HDMI devices to control each other. Maybe Ethernet could cause it to wake, just guessing.

    I've a led strip plugged into the socket beside my Hisense TV and they must use the same signal. Amy time I use the remote for the TV the led strip would change colour.

    Don't think so. It's not a major issue just something strange I noticed.

    Have CEC disabled on mine as well as no ethernet or wifi as I use my shield tv for everything.

    Anyone having problems with the Netflix app ?

    Mine was working perfectly up to about a week ago.
    When we try to watch a show it takes forever to reach 15/20% and then says that the program is not available.

    If I turn the TV off and on again it sometimes fix it

    Could it be your connection? Are you using a cable or wireless?

    Any 49-50inch versions of these about? Richer sounds are sold out.... Amazon won't have it for two months. Delivery from argos in UK will be pain in the hole..... And I don't know what their warranty is

    Some decent deals around for Hisense TVs now and I'm guessing there will be more over the next 7-10 days if anyone is looking. Coming up on a year with mine and it's still going strong. Need another TV actually so unless I can find a good OLED deal I'll get another Hisense!

    The one on amazon does appear to have HDR, but I could be wrong.

    The £369 one was £359 a few days ago, but only for a day. Thought it might go lower, but seems a great deal even if it doesn't.

    Ha ha, have to laugh all all this HDR chat, I'm big into my TV's and HDR at this screen size is not noticeable, I have a 65" and with HDR enabled there is just about a difference.
    Don't let HDR impact your decision making at this price range

    How can you find out which Hisence models have the smart IPTV app?
    My hisense M7000 does, but my mate has a hisense TV and the app is not available in the apps store?

    The Hisense H495500UK 49inch 4K UHD Smart TV is going for £369.99 at the moment on Amazon - a price drop of £150.

    I had been watching a slightly bigger Hisense that uses ULED tech but is there much of a difference?

    Is this one worth taking the plunge on?

    Some good price drops on amazon for Hisense TV's at the moment, just got the alert

    Like this for £279

    I just picked up a 49" 4k HDR enabled Hisense TV for £299, there seemed to be only 10 in stock and they sold out in minutes, I was just lucky

    Edit: they seemed to have made some of these offers for prime members only.

    Damn this bargain alert section, costing me a fortune.

    I bought a H495700 Hisense tv from Amazon in November only to find out no IPTV app.
    contacted Hisense and received the following:

    'Good Morning

    Thank you for your contact regarding the app you wish to install, unfortunately it is not one we support due the content licensing issues.

    In addition, we do not advertise it as being an available app.

    Kind regards

    Hisense Service Team'

    The LG 55 in Argos then came up for €519 so returned the Hisense to Amazon for a full refund. Happy out.

    My m403300 40" Hisense updated to V00.01.00a.H1229 today, from V00.01.00a.H0112. Funny thing is now it tells me to update to H1110, which seems like a downgrade, if I'm not mistaken. It says the latest version is H12.29._to._H1110, and its description says it's to update Freeview Play, and an DVB-T2 update with a few major fixes. If I click update nothing happens!
