Hisense A7G Series

The picture quality is awesome with nice rich colours & tones. The sound is great not tiny at all, the remote is easy to navigate and works from a good distance in my case 6m away. So if you are wanting a great value TV under $1000 AUD you can't go to wrong buying this TV.

I own two of these. Visuals are great for a low budget smart TV that was relatively easy to setup and configure. Ample ports (including 3 HDMI) to connect your TV to other devices. There are many in-built apps but I don't have payTV so don't really use anything beyond the YouTube app. Sound comes from the back so invest in a soundbar.

Cons:
* First TV emits a soft electrical hum around the back (only audible when walking past the TV).
* Other TV has issues connecting to Hisense 3.1 soundbar - ARC connection disconnects and reconnects when you first turn the TV on so you have no sound for ~5 seconds. First TV connects to Samsung soundbar with instant sound when turned on.

I purchased the A7G 65" TV from JB Hi Fi on sale. This is my second Hisense TV and I have had a good experience with the brand. For the price I paid I was impressed with the picture and the sound, it goes pretty loud so no need for a sound bar at all. Unfortunately the A7G had a problem early on which was fixed very quickly under warranty. After the TV was repaired, which was a 5 minute job, a rep from Hisense rang me to asked if the TV was fixed to my satisfaction, that is excellent service.

My first Hisense product, have to admit I was a bit scared of getting this TV, specially after comparing the price to the same size TVs from Sony or LG.... But after a few months I can say that it was a great decision... the image quality is great, sound is also high quality and can get super loud. Haven't had a single issue and definitely worth the price. The only downside is the apps/smart functionality, Netflix and YouTube work great but there not a lot of other apps. Still...you can solve all your issues with a Chrome cast or Apple TV. Don't let the lack of 'smart' functionalities scare you out of this TV. I'm happy with a 65'' Hisense that is not as 'smart' as a 45'' Sony but it's still cheaper.

Vidda operating system is very responsive. Picture quality is good although the black levels are a bit disappointing compared to more expensive models which is to be expected. Overall satisfied.

This is your ultimate tv for the price. Smart tv connectivity is great. Colours are magnificent heaps of controls to get picture perfect. Many apps at your fingertips. Not hard to navigate

TV is sold as a smart tv, however if you want to use 7plus, 9now or 10 play; there is no app, you need to have an aerial connected and it uses that to connect to Freeview plus 7 etc. We bought this tv to put in a room with no aerial connection available, told it would do plus 7..... What an archaic disappointment.

-- Pros --
The display quality is great, and the remote is fast with little noticeable lag. Three HDMI ports, all of which support 4k/60fps.

-- Cons --
The VIDAA OS is an insulting abomination that actively makes this TV worse. Your homescreen will only be a confusing cornucopia of services that you don't pay for but can't replace; you can't add custom artwork to your screensaver except if you tag content on DeviantArt (because apparently we're all still in our emo phase); the Netflix app will always be the first app in your list because you...

Overall the TV has good features, however the system is TERRIBLE. It is constantly freezing, Netflix, Stan, Youtube or even normal open Chanels won't work. I contacted Hisense, but there was not much help, they only sent an email describing the steps to 'restore' the system, which was not helpful.
