what a great video. just truly objective data. no more "in my opinion this looks better". just facts. wish that this raw test been done to a few competing samsung sony lg models. so simple with the white and black boxes, but so informative
Christmas is coming where is the H9F review
can’t beat a 55 inch one of these for 399
you think you are confused…ha i am 70 and looking for a new tv.70 you know growing up with B&W and probably a 10 inch screen…
I bought a 49 inch it was very good so decided to put that in the bedroom and buy a 65 inch for the livingroom both hisense by the way and the 65 inch is not as beautiful as the 49 inch very disappointing.
Hey!
Junk bought a 4k 50" about one year ago an the led back ground lights are going out.
Do you have settings for the best calibration?
not sure why… I feel you emphasised more on negative points. Someone rightly said in the comments " people are interested in this brand because of low pricing”, but review is kinda demotivating 😉
Is this better than Samsung RU8000?
How about the H9F ??
I’m the 1000 👍
This tv is priced at $299 black Friday at BestBuy 2019
How does the performance of this tv compare to something at a similar price point, like the Vizio M Series Quantum, Mxx7 Series (M507 for example, not the 8 series you reviewed)?
I tried a 55 in. Quantum Dot. the picture was very good but less than 1 week old the Sound went on me. Had to return it and bought a Samsung. I am very happy now.
I loved your video, such a lot of techy stuff that went right over my head ,but loved to learn cheers for that ,my question would simply be about durability could you advise me on that score basically how long should one of these last,Right now we have a 43 jvc aprox 18 months old,and like a lot of us bloke s am pushing to get the bigger screen at a reasonable pric e ,thanks again,
Thank you😎😍
oled perfect black ?sony maybe less so?? So sony isnt oled.
You are biased, hence not trustworthy
Great Tv- I just bought the new 50”inch H8/4K ANDROID-TV Beautiful picture. Im glade i bought it, better picture than my Samsung 55” inch in the living room
Isn’t a ULED really an QLED tv Just Hisense used a U instead of a Q
Is it 240hz ? Best Buy says it’s 60hz but Hisense website says 240?
Can you please review Hisense OLEDs
Hello there I just bought this tv and I am enjoying it by far but??? May you do a video on connecting a surround sound or home theatre for better sound.thank you for your time
Ive got this tv coming in a few days..i hope its ok..im using it strictly for gaming
I will be getting this TV in a couple days. My first flatscreen TV was a refurbed Hisense Google TV, and while it’s been occasionally cranky over the past five years, it’s only now starting to fail me. I’m definitely looking forward to it. I originally wanted to get the H9F, but it seems to have been discontinued, and I didn’t want to wait until the next generation comes out, plus the TCL 6-Series would require me either to get a new stand immediately or to put the TV on the floor until I get a new stand.
98% of people will over the moon with the image quality, especially if they’re upgrading from a smaller, lower res TV. I bought a cheap 49" full HD JVC TV 4 years ago and we watch movies and TV quite happily on it. The reviewer here would probably trash the image quality.
Where is the entertainment center from? Do you have a link?
For the average person who wants a tv with all the features possible l think its great value.
Not everyone has two grand to spend on a TV.
And the smaller the screen 55 inch for example the better the picture usually looks.
I think the Hisense has the edge over the TCL in the look and overall design.
And l prefer the remote and the android interface.
A great TV at the "price point"
You can not unlock "Unknown sources" on this TV or the H9F ..I called Tech Support they told me no you can not…told me I could use a external device… there is not mark in the security section under "Unknown sources" to toggle back and forth to do it…had Tv two days now… I am thinking about sending this thing back..Unreal..Locking this TV UP… Anyone know how to fix it? I can not even put google chorme on this Tv…
Why would you compare this to the TCL 6 series? That one is 150 bucks more at the same size. You should be comparing this to the 5 series.
Easy Pass got this exact TV on Christmas sale had to replace it twice because it doesn’t work well with receiver and soundbar
great TV, love to see more chinese brands compete with overpriced samsung and sony.
You mention this is a great bright room TV. What 50" (that’s my absolute max size) TV would you recommend for a NOT bright room, specifically watching in a dark bedroom?
Imagine if a bird flew in the room and pooped on Calebs head?
Local dimmer OFF!!!!!!
Thinking of getting a Hisense H8F, can we record live tv through USB ? Also, does it have Freeview Play?
Hisense 55” 7300
Is this TV worth the value? Comment below.
Is this the same as the r8 model
Hisense customer service sucks if you have any issues with your TV. I spent over two months trying to get them to honor the warranty. I had to jump through hoops with sending several different pictures, changing case numbers, tons of emails and phone calls. They sent me a lesser pos TV to replace the one I had. It’s cost about half of the original purchase price and there was nothing I could do.
Any improvements for this brand in 2020? Looking to replace our 8-9 year old Vizio. Suggestions? Thanks 👍
I don’t see a Hisense H9F review on Digital Trends. Can we get one with a comparison against TCL 6 series? Thanks!
Disappointment. I wanted to give them a chance. I will stick with TCL.
Looking at this Hisense H8F in a 55" OR a Vizio Quantam M series 50" both $400. In terms of quality (Longevity) motion handling and picture quality, which one is better?! I’m utterly torn and will be exchanging a 50" Samsung RU7100 which has great colors and HDR for the $, but can’t handle motion or upscale well at all!
349.99 It was worth it. 🤘😬🤘
Bought this 2017 TCL P607 2 years ago as it was the best budget 4k tv for gaming now I bought the 2019 Hisense H8F for my other room. Im not sure now which one I should use as my main tv for mainly watching netflix and Gaming. Which one is better. Thank You in advance
Would the netflix test be a good test since its quality is dependent on your internet connection and server load?
The very first thing to do is turn off all the crap he’s testing instant 80% increase in picture with actual perfect blacks
is there an evident difference between the 50" with 32 dimming zones and the 55" with 56 zones?
Something to note we purchased our 55H8F on 11-12-19. . First, there were two updates immediately when I powered the TV on and I waited till both installed. I have the 55H8F and after making my settings with Local Dimming off, but setting Backlight to under 50 and setting the Active Contrast to Low or Medium under Advanced Settings the black level is superb ( HDR and Dolby Vision Back Light is set at 90 ), there is little crush and with HDR material and Dolby Vision from Disney+ (Start Wars Rogue One). . . the contrast ratio is very good and bright levels (like camera passing the glaring sun) the performance seems excellent. We watch TV in our larger living room with a bias light behind the TV and just one other light in an upper corner rear corner providing some indirect light of a wall and portion of the ceiling. In the daytime, we have a row of east facing windows but use partial shades to reduce lighting a bit.
I also make use of the "Standard" picture setting with it’s own settings for daytime viewing and sports. . . . rather than use the either of the Theater Modes. For brighter room conditions. . it seems to work very well.
