I looked but I cant find a measuring tape. The feet stick out at most 3 inches before the end either side. The TV according to online is 110 cm wide which is 43 inches. So if your tv stand is 36 inches or more in length it will fit.

Sorry couldnt be more accurate.

That's great, thanks. I've to put the TV at an angle on the unit and I don't think the legs will fit.

43inch it'll have to be so.

Just ordered this. Thanks OP.

Hate shopping for this kind of stuff - the more reviews I read the more conflicted I get!

At the widest point the feet are 35.5 inches apart and ten inches from back to front.

I'm thinking about this myself and what's winning out for me is it has 4 HDMI ports.

UsedToWait · 25-10-2016 10:07pm

Tempted by this also.. half thinking of waiting to see what comes up on Black Friday on the other hand.. decisions decisions

Definitely won't suit so, damn!

SomethingElse · 25-10-2016 10:46pm

Would this be okay for playing Xbox360 on?

will56 · 26-10-2016 10:36am

Ordered it (the 43").
Due to arrive early next week so I'll stick up some comments on it then.

We were debating about waiting for Black Friday/Cyber Monday but figured it was unlikely that we'd pick up a 4k for <€400.

eoinf · 26-10-2016 1:21pm

does the 40" & 43" have a freesat & Saorview tuner?

I had a tv from a different brand and it crashed and hung when switching a channel from one tuner to the other.

Anything like this say switching from RTE to BBC

Be most curious what 1080p content looks like on this.

The give away is when they supply an email address asking you to discuss it off site.

i get bad quality bbc channels from accross the border and saorview with it.
if i was bothered to get a decent antenna id get them all perfect.

the epg is a bit slow (only when opening and closing) but they improved it last update. other than that its as fast as any digital tv switching channels.

Del007 · 27-10-2016 9:29am

Can you put any app that you like on this tv? Showbox/kodi or similar apps?

hi i'm looking for a smart tv and this one looks very good for the price, just checking with anybody who has it can I get the Irish channels on this? I have a satellite dish and combi box at the moment

As far as I can see it doesn’t run Android so no Showbox. Doubt Kodi would run on it either unless there's a version built for whatever OS Hisense run which is doubtful.

The only smart TVs I've seen that run Showbox and Kodi natively are the ones that are based on the Android OS like the Sony TVs.

it has a little app store. not much on there really. lots of stuff from lots of random countries.

i use an android box with it at 4k60fps. everything is upscaled bar the stuff i have locally that doesnt play very well on the android box i have. the tv itself plays them better via the network but youd need to be all cabled up for 4k to work. it has an rj45 ethernet port if you want to do that.

your boxes have the decoders in them. any tv would work with set top boxes.
it does get saorview and freeview broadcast signals from air no problem though. dvbt2

Skerries · 27-10-2016 4:10pm

if I use a HTPC on a 4K tv do I need to buy one of the 4K displayport to HDMI adapters or will the older one do

sorry maybe i should've been clearer.

I ment switching between tuners say from BBC on Freesat to RTE on Saorview and vice versa.

IE would i get away without using my combi box which is showing its age at this stage.

Looking at the 55 inch 4k model ...would i be just going overboard paying 750stg for the hdr model or safe enough going for the 4k model for 529stg considering my internet speeds are just 12-15mbps at the minute ???

If you have the extra to futureproof? I don't think anyone streams HDR at the moment though?

vjmcdonnell · 28-10-2016 1:26pm

Been at work most of the week so will be giving it a good spin at the weekend.

Even before the update, its a lot to telly for the money.

cavan4sam · 28-10-2016 1:55pm

Good stuff I'll keep an eye here to see how ye get on

Suaimhneach · 28-10-2016 2:08pm

Also interested, seems like a great deal. Wondering how hard mounting it would be vs getting a stand for it.

Wisesmurf · 28-10-2016 2:20pm

its VESA compatible so any VESA mount that goes to the size of the backplate will fit. Richer Sounds mention a 200 x 200 VESA required for the 55". They're not heavy.

switching input? it has a huge on screen menu so thatll slow you.
the actual switching is almost instant its just the menu system that slows it.

me too i have it on two bedside tables since i bought it in august.

id like a wall mount. it has the vesa holes would like some input from anyone whos mounted it before.

From memory its less tha 15kg, compared to my old 42 inch Philips its a feather weight

The same as on any TV. it won't upscale afaik and if you watch 4K content and drop to SD definition you'll notice the difference.

What about using an Xbox 360 on this? Would it be playable? The only game I play is pes 2016 but the tv needs to be okay for this!

I thinking how would battlefield 1 look like on this, would it be a good to for gaming? One of the reviews on richer sounds for the HDR model suggests it is.

wush06 · 29-10-2016 9:12am

Got the 43" a few weeks back for £299 and have to say it's a great to for the money.

Mine is wall mounted. Bought a bracket from Amazon for 8 quid. There's actually a nice bit of room behind the TV so we've hidden the Wii u and a hardrive behind it. Tidy...

ive actually never tried my console on it. hdmi 1 and 2 do 4k30 3 and 4 do 4k60 so you could put them in hdmi 1 or 2 no problem.

Duronic TVB777 for 8.99.
I bought this particular bracket as it is not too flush to the wall. Allows room to get your hand in for connecting wires and I can sit the Wii u behind TV.
My Samsung TV is on a very flush bracket i.e. tight to the wall, and while it looks a bit tidier, it's very difficult to get your hand in to connect wires etc. I just about fit a hardrive behind it.

I just got BF1 and this tv. Played them over last 2 days. Looked really good albeit I have an xbox one not an S or whatever. Was worried about input lag as cheaper tvs have them and its supposed to be a big negative for gaming but havent notice it myself and I consider myself a pretty good FPS. Doesnt mean its not lagging though. Have no way to test.

how about regular HD? does it still look sharp or does it show up the imperfections?

Del007 · 29-10-2016 9:14pm

Make sure you get a wall mount that sticks out from the wall a bit. I have the 65" and it's a bloody nightmare to access the back of the tv

Suaimhneach · 30-10-2016 8:40pm

Was gonna buy the 40 inch but Amazon wants 20 GPB or so for shipping - I thought I read here it was free to Ireland?
Also does anyone buy the insurance or nah?
