Televisions are not something we buy every day, or even every year. Many of us can go on a decade or more without upgrading the TV. If that sounds like you, I confess, it’s also me, your friendly TH-cam tech blogger. It's been about 12 years since I bought a television set, and a lot has changed.
Primarily televisions have become much more versatile, much higher quality, and with much improved resolution. 4KTV is the chief advancement in TV technology and it'a already a few years old. I recently had a chance to install a brand-new 4K Hisense Roku TV in my living room. I'll tell you all about the 2019 Hisense Roku 4K television, Model: 43-R6-109, which I’ll just call the R6 from here on in. I’ll talk about the set up process, the special features, what the video quality looks like, and whether it's been a worthy upgrade for me.
The Hisense Roku 4K TV comes with a remote control, which will be familiar to any of you with a Roku Streaming stick or similar. While some models do come with a voice control remote, this one did not. But that's okay, because I can add voice control with the Roku remote app. More on that in a sec.
Using the Roku Remote app on Hisense R6 4K UHD Smart Roku TV
The Roku mobile app is an alternative remote for your Roku TV. You can use all the same remote controls as you’d typically find on a handheld remote, like switching the channel, play/pause, or to navigate around the screen. You can also access a keyboard for when it comes time to type in your passwords and lengthy email addresses.
Now let’s talk video quality.
One of the first things you’ll need to do to begin enjoying 4K content is to enable the higher resolution stream on Netflix. Netflix has a tonne of 4K TV shows and movies, but you can’t get it without paying for more bandwidth. It costs about $3/month more.
The video quality on this TV is really good. It’s hard to find any fault with any 4K TV right now, particularly when coming up from an old HD TV; everything looks new and amazingly clear, crisp and detailed.
After a couple weeks of use I can say the video picture is top quality; I haven’t noticed any problems with it and I find it to be sharp and detailed, text looks crisp and the colours seem phenomenal. It even handles glare pretty well. The R6 is in a bright room and most of the time, though the room was bright, the glare didn’t affect the picture. Overall I’m quite happy with it so far,
Screen Mirroring on Hisense Roku 4K TV
It’s possible to mirror your phone or tablet’s screen on your new 2019 4K Hisense Roku R6 TV.
To do it you need to begin in the Roku Remote app.
From the bottom menu, choose Photos+ then choose Videos. The app will load all the videos from your phone. Choose the video you want to play and tap Play. The video will begin streaming on your TV. This worked like a charm on both my Apple iPhone and the Google Pixel 3.
Adding Google Home & Amazon Alexa to Hisense Roku 4K TV
It’s supposed to be possible to add Google Home and Google Assistant - and Amazon Alexa functionality to your TV. If you’ve read about it, it’s important to note it seems the digital assistant features aren’t enabled in Canada yet.
Upscaling on 2019 Hisense Roku R6 4K TV
The 2019 Hisense Roku R6 TV has upscaling technology built in. This essentially means the TV will increase the look and quality of non-4K content to 4K-like video. Thankfully, the upscaling on the TV is automatic; there is nothing to adjust and nothing for you to do; if the R6 can improve the video quality it does. You win.
After watching a bunch of HD video on the 4K Hisense Roku TV I can definitely say it looked to my eye like it was in 4K. The upscaling seems to do a great job at making lower resolution video look better.
Overall review of 2019 Hisense Roku R6 TV
Overall, I'm pretty happy with this TV. It's a huge improvement on my old TV.
I like the slim design, tiny bezels, easy to use Roku interface and the overall video quality is great. Plus, the ability to customize the screen and interface is nice. Any cons? Not being able to get Google to work is a bit disappointing, but I'm sure that will change, and I can update the channel with a review and how-to about that function down the road. For now, if you're looking for a good quality, affordable 4K TV, I can recommend the Hisense R6 4K UHD Smart Roku TV. It sells for about $369.99 (under 400) at Costco Canada.

Love all your reviews, Erin. One of the very best. Thank you.
Thank you for this great, very informative review Erin. You helped me in my decision about whether to acquire one or not...
I'm so glad! Thanks for watching.
hahaha loving the unique call-to-action to click the like button intros lately. I was really surprised when you said you had not bought a new TV in 12 years!!! You have reviewed some of the most amazing TV's on the market LG Frame, Samsung QLED's, 4K projectors. I would be interested to know how you go back to an old TV after looking at and reviewing some those liquid gold panels!!!
Great review Erin I enjoy these
Such a great video, thanks Erin. My sister just bought an R6 but it actually has in-built Apple+ access and Prime Video here in Mexico. Just subscribed.
Thank you!
This video made me buy this TV today and I must say I'm blown away. Best $350 spent. Thanks for this in depth review
Thanks for checking it out!
58" version at Walmart is $298
How are you liking it?
thanks for the informative video. convinced me to go for this over a similar jvc set. thank you.
I am a HUGE Hisense fan! I own a 65” 55” and a 50” for my house
Great video, would be nice if you touched on the inputs next time as this may be an important factor for some. Keep it up!
Fair ball. I did mention the HDMIs but yes. There’s digital optical audio etc
I bought my r6 in the beginning of 2020 and it has been working flawlessly. Its on 14 hours of the day. When not on Hulu I'm using I'm using it for internet and PC gaming. Decent TV for the price. I paid $224 for the 58" then because the box had some marks on it from tape, I didn't mind it because it only was making the box look not as nice but I wasn't hooking the box to anything. It hangs down on my ceiling (well hooked into a 30ft tree that was built into the ceiling) and it will swivel 180 from the foot of my bed to my sim setup so it get used pretty good.
Well done video, Erin. Hisense is making a big statement now.
Want mine??? I died after a year and the warranty is usesless
Great vid. I just grabbed a 50" from Costco boxing day for $334 cdn. Amazing value here. I've been a loyal Samsung guy for years but at a tv half the cost from entry level samsung/lg/sony, I had to try it. Amazing. No regrets so far. Super easy to setup and use. Slim design especially vs lg which are way too thick for 2020. If you're considering a hisense, do it. From Costco where you can return it!
Great feedback, thanks for posting it here
Still happy with it?
Hello from Texas. Our 40 inch Panasonic flat screen TV is about 10 years old. My husband and I dont buy anything until it's completely unfixable. Our current TV is still in excellent condition BUT! we have selfishly been wanting a larger TV and I JUST bought this Hisense 50 inch on Monday Dec 7 online at Target for, get this: $179.00!!! I got 3 year warranty and had a 15% discount. Paid $206.60!!!
Haven't told my family as im saving it as a Christmas gift yay!
**Thank you for this video, I'm comfortable with my decision now as I was really unsure if it was a good idea to buy it or not.
You're an excellent reviewer. One of the best I've ever heard. Cheers from the USA! 😀
Thanks very much for the compliment!
I purchased a 55 inch hisense r6 4 k TV and two years later I couldn't be happier! I love my TV! I use my phone to power it with my phone on wifi through mobile hotspot for free! I now see that they have a "58 for roughly the same price I paid 2 years ago! If I we're in the market I would buy the "58 Hisense TV! Great value!
I just bought mine yesterday the 65" and I game on it mostly but every once in awhile I'll watch a movie. I think it's a good 4ktv for the price hands down! My only thing is I wish it had more options for picture settings. Other than that this t.v. is worth it!
65 inch tv to game ? U must play single player games cause any gamer would have said to buy a monitor 24-27inch with a very low ms speed.
Awesome Erin! Thanks for showing it. I notice one thing missing is Canadian channels apps like Global or other station’s apps.
Great question Scott. I don’t have Canadian cable so I always forget about the Canadian channels! It has the Global app but that seems to be it. CBC didn’t come up in search. But I did find Amazon Prime TV.
Of course you could airplay or mirror them from the phone too.
@@ErinLawrenceTV.. hi Erin, there is one CBC app called GEM
Great video Erin, I got 65inch one from costco a few days back. Waiting for delivery :)
Hope you enjoy it!
Hello Erin! Great review. I purchased this model Hisense 75" Roku Smart TV on December 2020 for $898 CDN plus taxes. This is a great budget tv. Unfortunately, it doesn't have bluetooth but I can live with that especially at this price point. I just wanted to let you know that the Roku Remote app on my Samsung Galaxy Phone has the voice assistant feature and it works well. I'm guessing they have update this application and software. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for sharing your experience, and for the compliment!
Your lucky, we've gone through 4 Hisense TV's in our family but, we bought the $279 58" 4K Roku TV from Walmart.
All of them lasted about 1yr to 2yrs. All of them went out because of the Backlighting.
The Backlighting just goes out. You'll hear a buzzing sound, then the screen starts getting darker & darker until it's a black screen.
This has only happened to the cheapest Hisense TV's we've found.
Looking at getting another because when it's working? You can't beat the Speakers! No need for a sound bar even though I have one.. Hisense TV's are extremely loud & clear!
Sorry to hear about that, but excellent feedback. Thank you so much for posting it here.
Thanks for the video.it’s very informative👍
Thanks for watching!
55 inch version of this set is at Costco is only $430, and it’s full array not sure she mentioned that in this video but full array is better than edge lit TV by far
Nice reviews, I just ordered a Hisense :)
Hope you enjoy it!
I just got the 50" 4K Ultra HD this week. I can totally understand why some people may not be confident with the Hisense brand but so far its been totally fine. Not a bad deal for the price.
Are the viewing angles for the hisense good. That’s my main concern that I wanna figure out before getting this tv :)
@@nuhaazmi9094 sorry saw this late but the letter box black bars are uneven for some odd reason
This TV Is Absolutely Stellar,
And At a Stellar Price! ILove Hisense! I Love Hisense! I Love Hisense I Love Hisense!!!!!!
That is some enthusiasm! ;)
Just got one today! Thanks Erin👍🏾
Sweet. Let us know how you like it.
So for good so good, having lil problem with getting my picture to my liking. Had a LG before this Hisense.
I'm still working to get to my liking, do you have any suggestions? Fill free to let me know.
Thanks Erin for your time.
How are you liking it?
Yes, I'd like an update. Just bought one this week, Dec 2020 for Christmas gift
Thanks for showing the HDMI hook-up, are there any other hook ups? Some or most folks don't show the back of the TV and make comments, at least you showed the side with the hook-ups.
My 7yr old autistic son broke two 65” TVs in under 2 weeks. Both were LG’s. Loved them both. The first one was almost 4 yrs old, and then when he broke it we went and bought a new one that day. It last not even two weeks. Definitely looking into this tv, and a screen protector lol.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Hi Erin, first of all, an excellent presentation. Just about to install my new Hisense 50" 4k R6 in my .y existing area in my living room, where I had a Sanyo 43" for about ten years. The old tv started developing lines at the top of the screen, and then, last night the top right side of the screen, smoke appeared through the vents, then tv automatically turned off. About to read instructions now for the new Hisense tv. If I have any issues, I'll read your posts or blogs. I'll let you know how the set up went. All the best to you! --JC from the U.S.
Thank you JC!
Now at Best Buy for $240 - this is going in a bonus / second room and with Total Tech, free installation and everything! Incredible.
Sweet!
Hello Erin, nice video, very informative! Can I connect my Shaw BlueCurve to this TV?
Yes, absolutely!
Great Vid!
Thanks for the video, Made my decision alot easier
I’m glad to hear it. Thanks for checking out the video.
I know! I feel relieved I saw this review as I just bought it this week for Christmas 2020. Got it for a steal online!
Excellent review and very informative much more so then others on here Erin
Thank you!
thAn. come on man.................
Very nicely done
Great information delivered for Canadian consumers in a clear and efficient way! This is so very much appreciated. Thank you!
Thank you so much for the kind words!
I would appreciate any tech specs that help assess this TV - at the very least, is this a VA panel or IPS? Not everybody wants those tech details, but some of us do! ;) I'd also really like to know how it would work as a computer monitor...does it support 4:4:4 chroma...?
Is the current R6 that Walmart is selling the same as the 2019 version? Has there been any upgrades to them?
I got the 50' model . Awesome TV.
can you connect your cellphone to a tv to be able to watch video
What is the Hz on it
Have you had any problems with it in your time of ownership?
13 years with last 📺
Picked up this Roku
Hope you like it!
use your VPR enabled router and select USA as your HOME - should be the fix
Thank you
Thank you for this Video .Great T.V. We just Purchased One. Great Value for the Money 💰 Thank You Again.
Y
So glad to hear that, thanks for sharing!
Does the tv have a ear jack plug on the side of the TV where hdmi are?
Hi Erin, great review! Do you know if the wall mount holes on the back are standard VESA? Yours seems wall-mounted also. How was your experience?
I believe they are standard yes. It went just fine.
@@ErinLawrenceTV I'm pretty excited for mine to arrive and help flatten this "boredom curve"!
Great review on the Hisence 43 inch 4k tv.My current tv is over 20 years oldI am loking at either the TCL 43" 4K Roku tv or this one.Which one of these would you reccomend TCL or Hisence?
Those are both great choices and good brands in my experience. I’d say you can’t go wrong with either one, but it would be worth looking at the reviews from customers on Best Buy or Amazon to see which one might be most popular
Hi Erin can u share your TV image config? Mine doesnt look Like yours
If a want to do gaming what are the best settings to the tv
Thanks for the video! I am planing on getting the 65 inch tv but have a question about the built in Roku. Do I have to purchase a Roku subscription to use the TV? I only plan to use the Netflix app to steam on the TV and TH-cam.
Good question. No. There’s no fee for the Roku operating system. You’ll just continue to pay your Netflix subscription.
@@ErinLawrenceTV Thank you for replying to my question.
Today I bought a Hisense h65 4k ultra hd android tv.
Can I plug my Roku stick into the HDMI port, like I did on my older tv?
What are the best settings for this tv as far a picture quality i just bought this today 58 inch thxs.
Hi, did you find the best settings for this TV? I need it too
6:31 sharp and detailed, and 6:34 TEXT looks crisp. I'll say...LOL ;o)
Hi, can I use the Hisense TV to watch my local shows and my Spectrum cable shows?
Wow. I subscribed . Finally a Canadian reviewer. Nice.
How u get ur picture so clear
Hello Erin. Does this tv have audio outputs or a headphone jack to go to a theater receiver? Thanks!
Yes it does.
Hey Erin. I am considering this tv at 58" and also a TCL 4 series at 55". Do you have any insight on the differences and which one would be the best value (they are priced the same)? Also, what about sound quality? Thanks!
Hisense. No question. I had the TCL a day earlier... great TV, but the Hisense is bigger and supports Dolby Vision in addition to HDR10. Pair the Hisense with a Fire Stick\TV 4k which always outputs in DV, and because DV (not HDR10\TCL) takes control of the TV backlight, you end up with a better end result and this is nothing reviews mention. You just have to do everything with the Fire Stick\TV, which is extremely more robust than Roku (though Roku is a bit easier to use).
If you use a VPN I'm told voice commands will work if your outside the USA
How did the picture look from a side angle instead of head on
Is there a way to. send the audio straight to home theatre?
US question, does it work with TH-camTV? An app? Heard some models do not.
Do 4k high speed ethernet hdmi cables actually make any difference in picture or quality vrs using older hdmi that came out before 4k?
NOPE. HDMI is standardized, only thing you're getting out of spending more money is durability
Hi can I get ur help my one don’t have any of the app except Netflix is try everything how can I get the movie apps ?
My TV has for inputs - HDMI 1 HDMI 2 HDMI 3 AV but no antenae?? Any ideas out there? I have to select my local stations with a lot of searching through hundreds of channels and put into mu favorites
is it PWM flicker free? even at low brightness?
Is there an option to turn on/off the motion rate on this TV?
silly question of course there would be
I got this tv but how do I make it have the smoke 4k
zenith was my last one, I'm shopping now
Great!
My tv didn’t have a search bar. How do I get it?
Is there any trick to installing a soundbar on this tv?. I have one (tv), and tried to hook up a vizeo soundbar that a friend gave me but it didn't work. The bar works great on my vizeo tv, but not this one. I use this tv more for movies, so that is why I wanted the bar. Thanks for any help.
Not for me. I installed the Yamaha YAS 209 and it works great. I’m about to try it with Sonos Beam next week.
Just got the 58 inch, joined the HI SENSE FAMILY !!
Cool!
I'd like to replace a 2011 32" Sony NSX32GT1 GoogleTV.. and I'm looking at the 43" Hisense R6090G , but don't need the Roku.. should I look for something else.. 2017 43" TCL 43S405?
Also, what kind of (NEMA) mount does it use? For example, I know it's only 15 pounds, but will it fit with a mount in a corner, such that it can be moved alongside the wall when not in use? Do you recommend any TV-Mount? B07CXQRMLQ?
How did you get your apps to fit your tv so full
Does the 6 series have the anyview cast app to mirror my phone or computer?
My 2 R6's allow me to cast from my note 9
How do I enable the 120 motion rate for my Xbox Series console?
My 65” tv isn’t rocking how can you help me out
I just bought the 50' Hisense R6 smart TV today so I don't have to adjust anything in the settings, it will automatically be set on 4k and set on the best resolution???
For all the apps, it will automatically be 4k if the content is 4k. For consoles, you have to change some settings to allow HDR
Is there a fee to use the Roku. I have never used it before.
I wish they'd add where we can add our own photos to use as a wallpaper I tried on the roku app & doesn't work.
Hmmm. I’ll investigate.
@@ErinLawrenceTV Thanks!
Roku app wont work till you make your free online Roku account.
monika bachiller Already have a roku account still doesn’t let us add our own wallpaper.
Try using a USB flash drive
Hi Erin,thank you for this review.I am looking for a 43" 4k UHD tv.Can i use gthis tv without having to subscribe to ROKU? Do I need to pay for ROKU,or is it frre?
Yes you can use the TV without subscribing to Roku, though the roku channel is free.
Is there a way to activate 4K and or HDR or is it just built in for certain things like 4K movies and a PS4 pro?
The video or content you are watching has to be in 4K in order for the tv to display it at this resolution. To enable HDR for PS4 go to tv inputs settings on the tv and select the HDMI port you have the PS4 plugged in to. Change it to HDMI 2.0. When a game or video content supports HDR it will display HDR in text on the upper right of the screen.
Does Roku TV have peleton app or apple fitness?
Just got this tv for 338 dollars from walmart for 75 inch great deal. I hope its a good tv
Sound? How about the speakers?
I just bought the 58" version and wondering if anyone can recommend a wall mount that works with 200 x 300 VESA that will work well. Anyone?
I usually recommend Monoprice or the basic options on Amazon. But if you fiddle with changing connections very often I recommend one with a swing out arm, even a small 8" arm will let you pull the display away and get access to the cords. If you don't fiddle with cables and prefer the display to be hugged closer to the wall, then a standard hanging model will do.
I'm looking to purchase the same one. How is it?
I just bought the 58" also, what mount did you get? Thanks
@@275MsParis It is awesome and is closing out at Walmart so you should get one asap. It is clearly better than the exactly-the-same price TCL 55 inch they sell, and its most defintely not just the 3 inches.
Can i add android apps? Like kodi?
How to add Google app on hisense tv 43a7gq?
Any idea if the Hisense 75R6E3 Roku TV will work with the voice remote? I can't find any documentation about it.
I’m not sure, but they seem to have good customer service so maybe you could reach out to them directly?
Anyone have the 75 in model?
Do you have a how to video of how your husband made the painting cover?
Oooh! No. But we should....
@@ErinLawrenceTV sell the plans to it, little cash cow for ya, BTW I'll take a 2% cut of all sales if you go with it.
Erin I wanted to ask, is this tv able to have the Spotify app on it?
Great question. Yes Spotify is on here!
Erin Lawrence thank you so much!
Dam Hisense video ended up an apple ad lmao
Huh?
Apple this, apple that...
Apple TV Plus is available on Roku.
Can you cast with this TV?
Just Bought A Hisense Roku 4k uhd tv my picture dont look that clear why is that??
It could be a couple of things… Are you watching native 4K content? How is your Wi-Fi network? Is it strong? If not, you won’t be able to see the full resolution.
Just got the 58" for $208 at Walmart "none display brand new" USA
Lop just got one online at Target for $179!
It suits me. Plays a good looking game, and great movie and TV watching.
I need to know it the panel is a true 120? I want to know what my Xbox series X experience will be.
4k@60 is plenty for now.
Native 120
@@flufflenuggit6499 is that pretty good or not? Cause I just got this for my Series X and I’m expecting it to look really good for a $339 4K tv with Roku.
Is it still working?
Has Roku done any updates with this 2019 model to include Disney+?
Yes, I believe they have
Is it bluetooth compatible?
