Hisense R7 Series (page 2 of 2)

Bought a brand new hisense tv, two weeks in stopped working. The tv turns on but not doing anything. Contacted the customer service, and they asked me to reset it to factory setting. It helped for a day, but the same problem came back again. Buy this tv if you want to waste your money.

The picture quality is amazing and user interface is very simple and easy. Sound is good. Small downside is you can't appear to load apps from outside the Hisense store.

Very user friendly OS, easy to set up Smart TV, R7 comes with a lot of inbuilt apps & special buttons on Remote (Netflix, Prime, Youtube) 4 HDMI ports (1 with ARC), really impressed with Dolby vision and Atmos. Remote App connects well & love the sync with google (also has Alexa which I don't use).

So after being a devoted Samsung customer for many years and due for a TV upgrade I thought I would try another brand (Hisence). I purchased the Hisense - 65R7B and had high expectations after talking to the sales person about how well this particular TV sold. 8 weeks into my purchase and I am rather disappointed in the overall performance of this TV, I find while watching YouTube, DVDs, and movies from my home theater PC there is a significant amount of judder and refresh rate stutter @ 1080p and 4K as well as some random video tearing across ...

I went shopping for a Samsung QLED tv which was on special, but was disappointed by the picture quality on lower resolution media. I tried a few other QLED's including Sony that was said to have the best quality upscaling, but was still unhappy with the picture. So I went around testing several non-QLED TV's with my USB that contained multiple different qualities of video. The one that played the best picture over all qualities was the Hisense R7. I've only had it for 3 days, but so far am very happy with it. It has 4 x HDMI and two USB slots. ...

We went to Harvey Norman to purchase a new TV, we were recommend the hisense TV for our needs. I had been happy with its picture quality and sound, other then sometimes the sound loses sync.
We have had it for ten weeks, and it just stopped working. Called Harvey Norman, and of course it's Hisense problem, we were told they would ring us, and they didn't. Did some research on the problem, apparently quite common, and alot people complaining that it has happened several times, and once the warranty is up they don't want to know you. At this point I am regretting our purchase.

After lots of research, I purchased this Hisense tv 4 months ago. So far it has been great and I love the picture quality. The 3 year warranty is better than the "brand" names and it has Dolby Vision and Atmos which are the latest 4k HDR formats. The operating system is their own and works well, but it would be nice to be able to add apps like spotify (apparently these and others are coming). It is also works with Alexa and google assistant for the techno savvy. It has 4 HDMI inputs and overall, it has a great picture and sound. Aquaman on blur...

I have owned this TV for the past month so if there are any interesting issues that affect my rating I'll put it up here. So far I'm really happy with the value for money this TV has provided. When I was shopping I was comparing the 65R7 to the LG SM8600 and the Sony X8500G (as those 3 have similar specifications on paper). Both the LG and Sony were a good $500 more than the Hisense.

Picture quality - Very good. The colours are vibrant (maybe a touch less than the LG). The screen can do the very bright objects on the screen when in HDR mode. C...

A very good smart TV that caters for my every need. Easy to install and operate, it has plenty of ports for connecting devices - including an optical connection. It loads seamlessly to WiFi, delivers outstanding picture quality and the remote has the convenience of one touch buttons for Netflix and YouTube. Sound quality is not that great, but easily overcome with the use of a Soundbar. I undertook some serious research before buying this TV and all the reports indicated it represented the best “bang for your bucks” in the marketplace - I couldn’t agree more! Owned since February 2017 and proven reliable.

Ultra slim profile, massive screen a fraction of the price of the Japanese brands.
Good sound quality 200Hz refresh rate so great for sports.
Has all the bells and whistles and very easy to navigate all the screens.
Overall very happy with the Hisense experience so far.

Pros: good speakers, Bluetooth connectivity, nice Picture Quality(after some settings fiddling), Nice blacks and really good colours.
Cons: bad OS(not much apps to download), Very reflective screen if you have even little light in the room. usb ports are from stone age and will only work with FAT32 formats.
