No its not

The 49" inch 4K Hisense is £20 cheaper on Amazon. For the sake of a few inches for 4K HDR, actual usable smart apps like youtube and netflix, and not having to mess about with parcel motel or whatever, as opposed to delivery to your door, go with Amazon.

You're right, I thought it was 4K, my bad

I've had 49" for over 3 months now.
It's pretty excellent in every facet except the satellite free to air episode guide is crap. Doesn't update reliably. If it was my primary TV it would drive me nuts.
So just be aware if you don't have sky box etc, the episode guide is not a patch on a freesat enabled TV.

Probably been mentioned before but what are the two HD ports on the back for? They don't seem to work with ordinary HD appliances.

Are they the UHD 4K ports ....didnt realise they wouldn't work with standard HD

jay0109 · 15-12-2016 03:02PM

There are 4 HD ports on the back of the 43"
2 are for 60hz. I have plugged my Horizon box and my Firestick into them but its not much use as there is no 4k content coming through either

Just to be clear, there are 4 ports on the back of the set, two are to the left side as you look at the screen and two are at the back. It is these latter two that don't work.

The two at the very back facing the wall essentially are working for me with Virgin Media Horizon box

jay0109 · 15-12-2016 03:55PM

The 2 at the back, #'s 3 and 4 are working for me with the Horizon box and firestick as I said coming through them.
Haven't tried the other 2

Sounds like you got a dud. Get on to amazon.

Yeah, could be, I'm getting a new satellite box today I'll try that and see. Everything else works perfectly so it would be a pity to have to send it back but I updated to the latest firmware so there's unlikely to be an OTA fix. Threw out the box too:o

ReZonator · 15-12-2016 05:54PM

Might not be your issue but I couldn't run full screen applications on my 40" at 1080p from my windows machine. The desktop would work at 1080p but once I launched an application like a game at 1080p I got a black screen. I figured out that 1980 x 1200 worked, as did 1440P, and 4k. Might not be your issue but it baffled me at first.

Marhay70 · 16-12-2016 12:28PM

I've arranged to send it back, the new HD satellite box arrived and didn't work in those HD ports either. Another problem has been the picture shimmering, particularly if there was writing on the screen. I thought at first that this was a problem with the old satellite box as it had become temperamental but it's happening with the new one too.
I only hope that return will be free as there seems to be some doubt about that in the correspondence I received from Amazon

benji2006 · 16-12-2016 02:58PM

How do I switch between satellite and aerial using the remote?

robbie67 · 16-12-2016 03:50PM

click OK on the remote press left on the list of stations , at the top you will see list click on it you will see satellite and aerial and any favs stations you have saved

Yamanoto · 17-12-2016 12:26AM

Couple of issues folks might be able to offer advice on here.

1. On setting up the TV (50M3300), there was no option for Ireland whatsoever in the country selection, so had to select the UK - anyone else experienced that?

2. Cannot for the life of me find an internet browser anywhere - can folks point me to where it's located? The seem to be 200+ apps in the app store, but I'm not seeing Plex, BBCiPlayer or Amazon anywhere in there.

S/W version is V00.01.00a.G0901

Yeah, I selected France just so it would automatically download the HDR update but it shouldn't make a difference. Haven't messed with the app store myself, planning that for tomorrow

Ireland isn't a supported region. Hisense is sold in the eastern European markets and the UK etc.

Press the button that looks like a house and scroll right. iPlayer and Amazon are "premium" apps, meaning they're just preinstalled

kyeev · 17-12-2016 09:38AM

Plex is about 20 apps to the right of BBC iPlayer.
And there is no Ireland option at the moment. Maybe if we all spammed hisense, they'd add an Ireland option. Every other country seems to be there

Lads/Ladies

I'm half tempted by this at the moment. my 11 year old aldi TV us becoming a bit outdated. At a cost of ownership of 81 euro a year it has done me well over 11 years it has done me well at this stage

http://www.argos.ie/static/Product/partNumber/5656253/c_1/1%7Ccategory_root%7CHome+entertainment+and+sat+nav%7C14419512/c_2/3%7C19780832%7CTelevisions%7C14419667/c_3/4%7Ccat_14419667%7CSmart+TV%27s%7C27827574.htm

I know i could get it cheaper elsewhere but i can rock in and pick this up today and have it for xmas. The one thing i dont see mentioned is warranty. Does anyone know what warranty Hisense provides?

dashoonage · 21-12-2016 09:41AM

One more question...i stream a lot of stuff at 720p due to my crap 3mb wireless broadband. Whats 720p like on these is it very bad to watch?

it seems to be out of stock everywhere....you'd get it much much cheaper next week during the sales

duffman13 · 21-12-2016 10:43AM

I got the same model from Amazon for about 50 quid less but as you say you want it for Xmas then get it from argos. I'm happy with the picture quality and do stream a lot sports/movies. It's very good for movies however I am struggling a bit with jumpiness on the sports. If it's 720 it should be ok (a lot of what I watch is hd) but any less is gonna look awful.

Tusky · 21-12-2016 03:59PM

Has someone posted the best settings for the 40" model? Had a quick look through the thread but couldn't see them.

Skerries · 21-12-2016 04:08PM

I tried the settings someone posted and the reds looked pink and the greens were luminous for me

SachaJ · 24-12-2016 06:39PM

Just got a notification from CamelCamelCamel that the 49" is down to £369 new. 50" is £379.

tonic wine · 24-12-2016 10:45PM

After a couple of weeks of ownership the only part I don't like is the TVs guide.
It's terrible. Also the length of time it takes to switch channels is annoying.
Other then that, loving it.

Hisense 43" 4k
