Hisense 55U65QF - 55-Inch

The Hisense U6 Series is the access point for serious sports fans like you. It’s the ultimate in Mini-LED technology: hyper-real contrasts, bright lighting and rich shadows. This is the kind of TV that drops you right in the action so you can catch all the details—down to every bead of sweat on a player’s brow. Review: Wow super nice for the $ and a lot of features too. - I was not sure what to expect as I was coming from an older Hisense that was more expensive than this by a lot, but seems newer technology like mini-led in this, makes it better for much less. So even replacing an older higher end model worked out fine. I looked this up and most reviews claimed it was the best higher end "entry level" model and that is what it seems to be. Has some great features not found at this price point on other models and the picture looks great. My setup uses Dolby Vision and this worked right away. One thing to keep in mind when connecting devices is only 2 of the 4 HDMI ports are 2.1 144hz and all that, so make sure to use the right ones for the right devices or could miss out on some settings. The picture looks nice to me for a $500 TV, really nice especially if you go on YouTube and watch the 4k/8k HDR clips. The sound is also very nice "for a TV" so even if you always use a sound bar, you might be able to skip using it sometimes as the TV does sound OK with the little subwoofer on the back. FWIW yes the sound bar setup does sound better, just the TV is good enough you might not need it all the time. This is a FireTV TV so you need to connect to an desertcart account "if" you want to do some things or use the FireTV stuff. You CAN use it right out of the box not connected to internet and everything does work. I connected it to desertcart and its actually pretty snappy for a TV and works good enough. Its not like my other TV where everything takes 10-15 seconds to come up and things are so slow, this is very snappy actually usable unlike a lot of TV's. Review: Good TV - I saw some reviews mentioning that the TV gets stuck on the initial update because WiFi isn’t set up yet. I ran into the same issue, but I solved it by forcing a factory reset (hold the Back and Right buttons together for 10 seconds). After the restart, a QR code appeared, and I easily set up the WiFi through the desertcart App. The update then installed successfully. This is my first Fire TV, and after a little time to get familiar, it was very straightforward to use. All the popular apps are available, and the colors, brightness, and picture quality are impressive. 4K playback is smooth, and the built-in features like HDR10+, Dolby Vision IQ, and Dolby Atmos make the experience even better. Overall, this is a solid, well-built TV with excellent value for the price. I’m very satisfied with the quality and trust the Hisense brand.
