    Features we love

    Superb Dolby picture quality

    Immerse yourself in the atmosphere of whatever you’re watching with Dolby Vision IQ. It increases the contrast between light and dark, to create a vivid picture that’s bursting with colour. This gives you an outstanding cinematic experience no matter what’s on screen, whether it’s a memorable movie night or an edge-of-your-seat match day.

    Amazing contrast for immersive viewing

    You’ll never miss a detail in those night-time scenes again. Different zones across the screen work independently to keep the brightness at the perfect level across the whole picture. So when it’s time for another nerve-wracking horror flick, you’ll always see what’s lurking in the shadows – as long as you’re not hiding behind the sofa.

    Colours just like the real thing

    No matter what you watch, this TV will make sure everything looks true-to-life. It can show over a billion shades to make your screen pop with accurate colours just like what the filmmakers intended. With such a realistic picture, you’ll want to reach out and touch it (not that we’d recommend it).

    Say goodbye to blurring

    There’s nothing like some pesky screen lag to take you out the moment, and this TV has just the tech to make sure that doesn’t happen. It keeps the on-screen action smooth, no matter how high-octane it gets, so you’ll always have a super-sharp picture. Nothing’s distracting you from those thrilling car chases.

    Top TV tips

    Remember that a TV’s size in inches is diagonal from corner to corner. So, if you're using the stand, you’ll need to check the width of the TV in the product specification to make sure it’ll fit on your furniture. Check the feet too – if they’re at the edges of the TV, make sure they’ll both fit on your TV stand. You can read our guide here.

    Great TV

    5/5

    Paul

    Great TV for the money.

    5/5
    Great TV for the money. Pros: The picture and build quality is fantastic. Easy set up of the TV and the operating system is easy to work. It has all of the apps built in. Sounds it good for TV speakers and it removes the need for a separate soundbar. Cons: Heavy TV for wall mounting compared to other tvs and for the latest software hisense have to send out a memory stick as it is too big to be updated through the TV. Overal fantastic TV for the price

    Great TV for 120fps Gaming

    5/5
    TV itself is fantastic. Supports 120hz for 120fps gaming on the next gen consoles, such as Xbox Series X. TV originally arrived damaged, but the AO Customer Service team were impressively helpful and sorted out another TV for me in only 2 days. 5 star for the product and the service from AO on rectifying the error delivery was also 5 star.

    Buggy OS lets down a good TV

    4/5
    The picture is excellent, however buggy OS lets it down. Upgrade of SD is good, but not world-beating. I have got around this by using a Freeview PVR, which upscale SD to 1080. I have installed two updates and done two factory resets, but I still, have the following problems. Turning on the TV with the remote is useless. Even with new batteries, I have to be approx one foot away and directly in front of the sensor for it to work. The guide is very slow and buffers. Even though Telextext is listed as an option it will not work, (Totally fine on the LG tv I replaced with this). HDMI is advertised as 100Mhz, that are not. Only 60Mhz. Having to go to the inputs or main menu to get back to "live tv" when I turn off the PVR or Nvidia Shield again is annoying. The picture is an upgrade on the LG tv I had and I will in time get used to the above, just a shame that it takes the edge off what could be an excellent TV.

    Promised a lot and fell short

    3/5
    Picture, very good out of the box. However, I have only had it for 3 days and now the remote will not wake the TV up! New batteries in, reset the TV (unplugged for 10 minutes) and two factory resets done. Once the TV is on the remote works as it should, so looks like the only way of getting it to turn on is manual via the switch on the front. No Teletext service is available, even though it is listed in the options. Subtitles do work, but no BBC text. I now have to go via the web to get to the pages I could read via my old LG TV. I also bought a Hisense HS214 (separate review) and you only get the option of it powering on when the TV does and then turning it off (I only use it for film and sports) or not having it turning on and having to go through several menus to get it to be used if not. All in all, for the picture it's a very good TV, but for the bugs and the simple things that the LG tv could do and this cannot I cannot give it more than 3 stars. I will get used to having to turn it on each day like it's the 70's and will read my stories on the BBC via my phone, but it's not a good start to my time with Hisense family. Just hope there are more than the two updates that I have already had to come. :(
