Just bought one online at Best Buy for $400. Take THAT, inflation!
Just got mine 2day for 340 at Walmart by my crib. Had 2 get it
@@bigbillybsbs You are my hero! Was it some kind of open box or clearance deal?
A 70 inch for that price??? Whaaat lol
BEST COMMENT EVER 😂😂😂😂
I LIVE IN SWEDEN JUST ORDERED 75" A6G watching your video hopefully this video helps me with setup😊😊😊
Purchasing the 75a6g today. Replacing a dead Sony kdl 65w950b lasted 4 years. Thanks for your video. Cheers 🍻 EH!🇨🇦👍👽
I also had a Sony 4 k and in 4 yrs the screen went! I was very 😞
Let's just say this handled better than a low to mid end home cinema projector.
So is the picture quality bad
@@theclipper795 For what you are paying, the quality is good. But you will not get the quality of say a $1500+ tv.
I just got this tv yesterday and man this thing is insane, i used to have a 50 inch samsung and this thing just makes it look tiny. I have a fairly small room in my house so to have a tv like this in here looks mind boggling.
Nice. You will get used to it after while though.
What’s the picture quality like
This was an excellent review. Thank you so much for the quality, detailed video.
Very welcome!
Awesome video! So in these times it's not worth it to repair? I had a Sony 4 k and the screen went in just 4 yrs! I was surprised!
The 70" is over a $1000 dollars here in South Africa, and that's still probably the cheapest you can get for a 70" haha. Settled for the 50" though and eagerly waiting now
Wow
Yep, well South Africas import taxes and customs are absolutely horrible. Add in the shipping rates which went sky high due to covid (I presume) and you have those ridiculous prices.
Bwamo the 50" is it the A series or U
@@siyanxumalo-forbes6472 The A series
Bought this from Walmart for $485(after taxes and employee discount), which superseded my LG C1 48" in my living room. Now, someone may ask "why the heck would you do that?" Size. It's decent enough image quality and the immersiveness is unmatched. I went from 48 inches at 8 feet away to 70 inches at 6 feet away. I don't miss 120Hz, but I do miss the contrast of OLED. That said, paying $2500+ for a LG C1 77" just does not make any sense.
I have it paired to my PC(even have a long HDMI cable ran upstairs to the C1, which I placed in my bedroom), and my Samsung A60M soundbar with surrounds. TV does all I ask of it, and looks amazing doing it.
Sorry, bit this is the worst and most unprofessional review I have ever seen.
First it takes half an hour until you finally figured out how to actually unbox it, and then there‘s no valuable information concerning the quality.
Contrast? Bleeding? Brightness in SDR and HDR? 24p judder and stutter?!?
Sorry, but a Top Gun Trailer fron YT won‘t do I‘m afraid.
I've enjoyed my past year with this TV, but I have to note a couple of oddities:
1. I have to reset it fairly regularly, about once every two weeks or so. To do so, I unplug it from the wall, count to 20 slowly, then plug it back in.
2. It has an minor undocumented feature I really like. I have an Amazon Fire Cube (old model) plugged into HDMI input 2, and when I'm streaming something on the cube, if I switch to another TV input, it continues streaming normally. This is not how my other TVs work - on them, if I switch away from an HDMI input receiving a streaming signal, that stream is interrupted. I use this feature to stream sports on the cube, then switch away to watch something else during the commercials.
I just bought a 65" for $299 I think is a great deal..
Good video by the way..
Was planning to buy a 65 inch Sony Bravia X85K for $1200 until I found out that the HDMI 2.1 port doesn't even work properly because the X1 chip is not powerful enough to run both 4K and 120Hz at the same time, so I decided "Screw it. If the best of the best can't give me what I want, then why should I pay so much for specs?" Decided to focus on size instead. It's my first ever 4K coming from 1080p LED (also Hisense). Was originally going to pay for a 75 inch Hisense but they told me it doesn't come with wall bracket, so now I have to pay for extra wall bracket and worry about the strength, and pay extra for workers to come and install and mount it for me, and worry about whether they will know what they are doing. So I cancelled the whole thing. Then today out of the blue I saw this offer for last year's model, major price drop to $500 only, and comes with free delivery, wall bracket included, and free installation. I jumped at it. I'm at the point where I don't even care about HDR10+ and MotionFlow and Dolby Vision, just give me SIZE and decent picture quality in the dark with the lights off. They make research too freakin complicated. That's why people decide to go with the cheap option. They just get burned out with this option not working out, that option not working out, until finally they don't care about anything anymore except price and size. I just want to get this up and not think about researching specs again for another 10 years.
Just picked one up 65” 365$ Costco
Great review. Straight to the point.
Thanks Mike. 👍
Is good tv..working good....thanks
How’s it Holding up 1yr later???
I did a FollowUp video about a warranty repair done. But I’m still using it, a few hours a day - mostly off hdmi Apple TV.
I have this TV in a 55inch for my bedroom and just ordered the 70inch for the gym/lounge area of my home. The quality leaves a lot to be desired especially when I have a 85 and 55 LG OLED in the house already. But you can't beat the price. As a secondary TV it's a no brainer but as a primary TV I would save up and buy something proper.
Lots of good info. Very thorough review of menu items. These Hisense entry levels seem to be good value products. The only question is reliability, but as I understand it, ALL TV manufacturers, even LG, Samsung and Sony suffer problems at the entry levels. The race to the bottom impacts quality control and the hardware chosen inside. The panels are pretty much the same panels for almost everyone. I believe TCL or Chinese companies source most of the panels for everyone. The rest is just firmware, software and what processors are being used for the picture.
It's a crazy world these days. With MOST people not really able to distinguish better or worse quality without having TVs right next to each other. Perhaps with the exception of the Hi-end versions and OLED panels which always seem to POP above the rest.
However, how many of US really need a 100% color gamut or the best 2020 color space?
IMO. The Hisense U7K models are about as good as what anyone but the most discerning and demanding videophile would want. And almost ANY entry level TV is about the same as almost any other to the average eye. Without an entry Sony or Samsung next to an entry level TCL or Hisense no one would know. And frankly, all of those lower model sets are quite similar. The TCLs and Hisenses have pretty much copied and tweaked the Big Boys and the Big Boys have trouble competing at the lower margin level. Hence, a hundred or even two hundred dollar difference for pretty much comparable TVs. What's NOT to like at this level!
70" also a nice size. As they say if it's a choice between a more expensive 55" or a cheaper 75", SIZE does matter! Nice work!
Thank you for the detailed comment and post. All valid points across the board. My bottom of the barrel Element TV just died - I bet they need to replace the main board. Looking to get a new one to unbox and review. I'll look into a Hisense U7K as one of the choices.
I had a 50 inch Hisense 1080p Roku Smart TV that just went out on me after six years--if that helps! I don't watch TV often. I'm upgrading to either a 65 or 70 inch TV by next week! I'll likely stay with Hisense or go for Toshiba!
I got mine off Amazon for 200
This review is superb. I am planning to purchase a Hisense TV but I am concerned about the issues about its durability. I hope you can post a review regarding about its durability. Thanks
Like throwing it down the stairs?
How's the durability like,can it go up to 10yrs?
The company made 18 billion in revenue.
That says something
Keeping it real, anything better than what you got is better. A low cost big screen is 10 times better than anything ten years ago. Don’t get caught up in the hype. Hisense makes great budget TVs that slay rear projection TVs we thought were awesome in the past. I have a usg75 that cost less than a 1000 bucks now, and everyone that sees it is impressed.
"A low cost big screen is 10 times better than anything ten years ago. Don’t get caught up in the hype." - true words especially in consumer tech
$499 at Walmart right now
Decent deal. But if the same price range is OK, there have been deals for the next step up.
This TV is on sale at Best Buy and Walmart for $400. Heck of a deal. Try and get an extended warranty.
I rather stay with 1080p Tv
Just picked mine up today for 350 Walmart, in store only. Online showed out of stock. Probly old inventory, perfect for my Xbox n movies at home.
using hdr 10 after playing 2 hours, it starts to getting a masive input lag......... using dolby vision gaming on the xbox series X, so good so far
I have this tv n it’s turn of on me n this will be the second time that I will call the company to fixed 😢
A good way to test these tv is to watch the fly over (good quality) 4k videos and you can see the different from one tv to the other. You cannot watch 8k videos on a 4K tv or play any game more than 2160p resolution. The Hisense Android is better than the Roku, so the price is higher (A6G).
So are you saying the A6G is better than the A6?
@@kimzara2191 Yes, the Android seems to have better picture, resolution and clarity than the Roku. I have both and i see the differences.
Great Video thank you for sharing.
anyone have the color calibration (settings) thx
Did you find any as of this date
How wide are the feet front to back? I want to sit it on my fireplace mantel. Thanks in advance
Hi so I want this tv cuz it’s big I like movies not extreme video gaming just like hogwarts legacy and I have a ps5 but don’t need the best tv to play it on or anything just pretty on movies and games yk and I was wondering if it’s a good tv for when I’m relaxing
Yes, it has proven to be. Get an extended warranty on it if you can get one relatively cheap.
I want good picture quality with 5 year gurantee like Sinotec but 4 years from Hisence is also okay. I dont want to overspend then 2 years down the line the TV breaks or gets outdated.
They don’t build TVs like they used to. Get an extended warranty if you can.
Goddam, you guys in the west are so lucky with insane deals! The biggest size I can get here in Japan for that same model and price is 50 inches.
Indeed Chan man, the deals be hard overseas wtf
Yes, of course, damn us to hell for a material item that you cannot obtain in your area. Makes perfect sense...
@mike mu, when is the 2nd part of the review coming? Pease also add some gaming clips and true UHD 4k 2160p videos. Cant wait to see how the tv handles the NexGen consoles.
Unfortunately its delayed till next year. I'm out of town.
Garbage!!!!!
@@MikeMu are you back? Did you do a followup on this model?
Great review. "Auto" color space lets the tv choose the color space based on the content being played or source. "Native" applies the widest color range the tv is capable of on all programs resulting in deeper, richer, more saturated colors. :)
Thanks, will have to put it to the test.
Zd,,,w,,I
Thank you for this review it made me feel better about my purchase thats on the way..lol...I was getting a lil concern a lot of reviews mostly say negative things about this tv..of course there is better high end tvs but this works for regular popular apps like prime and Netflix..so iam good thanks...new sub
Thanks for the comment. It's all a matter of perspective. If you compare this with something that costs twice as much, to something that costs 4 times or more as much, you will see a difference. But even when compared to TVs from a few years ago, this fares better for a lower price than many. We've been using this as the main family room TV for over a month now, and it's more than good for what we do, which is streaming TH-cam, Amazon, Prime, etc.
Cool glad to hear that it's fine for those purposes...just what I needed just for those same purposes.
@@candyb2078 I have the 55 inch model of this TV. A month down and everything works except for the loud buzzing noise from inside the TV. Hopefully yours won’t have any problems
Check for interference. You may need a line conditioner. Also, unplug your TV for a few seconds from power and boot up again.
Hi Mike can you paste the link of the video of the set up without an android phone, thank you so much in advance
th-cam.com/video/X3Cw47PUSdQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=3fnkWzXMT7xueIuS at 6 minute mark.
Do you know if the bluetooth will work if you use a streaming device (roku, firestick) through the hdmi port?
Hello,was curious as to why the box says it is the A6 series but when you went through setup,the screen kept saying it was the Hismart A4 series...thanks
I have this tv now but mine is “55” inch
But all is same
So can I have this Tv mounted on the wall?
Yes. Holes are there.
How manny watts this tv hisense 70inch
Can the legs be adjusted? Yours looks like it has two options for leg distance. The tv fits on my tv stand but it’s really close to the edge 😢
Yes. Two positions for each leg.
These hisense tvs are trash dont buy them i just bought my hisense tv 75 inch 4k and the backlights are dead like WTF and the store that i bought it from dont want to fix it or replace it. I dont know what to do!
Try reaching out to Hisense directly? How long have you had it? Also a lot of credit cards extend the warranty.
Thank you for the review. I’m buying one tomorrow
Get extended warranty. See my followup videos.
Sabes si este series de tv tendrá soporte Android 11
I got the 75 use it for my ps5. How do you turn low latency mode on my ps5 days TV doesn't have it
It's always best you leave Llm off as ps5 lags greatly with the option on which is a big irony. Game mode is good enough
@@lordspalse0062 well damn
Hola cuando conectó un disco extraíble con películas va bien pero después no pillo la opción para ver el dispositivo extraíble dónde tienes q entrar para ver el disco en entradas no parece ayuda pliz
In a sense it’ll get you by. Does what a tv supposed to do
I'm still enjoying mine very much.
Can this TV be setup in a "dumb" mode? Not interested in the smart features, thanks for any info.
Yes. Kind of. That is highly advised. Disconnect from internet or don’t bother connecting at all.
@@MikeMu Mainly what I am looking for is to get rid of the menus when the TV turns on. I want a very simple blank screen until I choose to connect a blu-ray player, etc.
@@Bergermeister99 Unfortunately, you cannot get rid of it all. However... you can configure it so that when you power on the Blu-Ray or whatever you want to use, it goes directly to that instead. That part is easy and you won't have to see Google interface at all. Its how I use it - AppleTV mostly.
Hi! You skipped it on the vid but wondering if the “Timer” in the menu is just a sleep on/off timer or is it a daily timer that can be set daily and with an option to select a default source when turned on like LG tvs. Many thanks!
It was just a sleep timer. But if there were other major updates added, that would be a nice addition.
@@MikeMu thanks Mike!!
I am going to be getting a 55 Inch TV like this soon for next week or 2 weeks
Audio out?
How do I connect it to my google home ?
$608.000 acá en Santiago de Chile Latam💪
I saw this at best and it freaked me out it looked like it was a kids version I always get excited thinking it was the u6 didn't know they made a lower model
They probalby have even lower end models in other markets. I've been perfectly happy with mine for streaming vs price paid for it.
Bought this tv today smh.... one of the worst tvs lags when playing video games or watching sports highlights
Can u play a ps5 ?
Did you try switching to game mode?
is it gsync or free sync ready ?
Definitely not.
If you want G-Sync or FreeSync, you'll have to go with something like the Hisense U7G or U8G.
Just got one for 348$ beat that
That's a tough one to beat. Congrats.
Whats the display tech?
57:31 Hisense A6G Series Internal device storage/ free space. Hisense U6G has 16gb with 8.4gb free, but doesnt come in 43 inch size. Thank you for the in depth run through of all the settings.
Is this TV still going strong??? I'm thinking of getting it
For me ... yes. I'm watching it right now. TH-cam of course.
Does it have wall mount bolts included in the box
No. Those typically come with the mount.
This is like watching the 3 stooges unpack this
I'm here to entertain.
@@MikeMu 😂
so howv do you activate the 120 motion?
It’s automatic. And it’s quasi, not true 120hz.
@@MikeMu thank you! I couldn’t find anywhere that explained it in simple terms!
Ho-mode
Helpful
how has it held up
It died in September, got the main board replaced under warranty. th-cam.com/video/A2jcWNxPAcA/w-d-xo.html
I paid $319
That's a steal of a price!
Great review. I want to stick with Hisense. My question is what model would u recommend for blu-ray movies and size.
Bluray is only Full HD. 4K resolution is 4 times that. If you are willing to spend a little more I'd get the next one up, the u8G series amzn.to/3lsNfP8
@@MikeMu thanks. will do and I found someone I can talk to. I got $350 on gift card from Target. I will be looking for a blue ray player any suggestions?
@@mullinsa.m8438 Get one with HDR10 and Dolby Atmos. I haven't bought or tried one specifically in a while so I don't have any specific models to recommend.
@@MikeMu thanks I am looking at the tcl R646. I really appreciate you help. Hisense U7G I am looking as well.
@@MikeMu And what‘s the difference? Does it upscale better? Does it have 120 Hz for less stutter?
Again, no valuable info here.
Theres this annoying buzzing sound tho
That's the biggest issue I had with this. My phone was causing interference. :(
@@MikeMu I’m glad to see I’m not the only one with this problem. Mine is the 55 inch version
There's also a really annoying plastic film all over the screen while he's demonstrating the picture quality...😬
I’m wondering should I get this or the 75inch ?
If today... right now, I would absolutely get this 65" H9G series for $699 ( amzn.to/3HUJMl5 ). Better overall TV from Hisense. They are probably clearing out 2020 models, hence the sale.
@@MikeMu I’m having 65inch tv and plan get bigger size so I’m wondering should I get this 70inch or the latest A7G
@@bennieai264 I’d go with bigger around this price point.
@@MikeMu A6G and A7G its almost the same right ? Really thank you for the time
Going to purchase the 75 a6g hisense today. I am hoping for the best? Replacing a Dead Sony kdl65w950b lasted 4 years. Thanks for your video. Cheers 🍻 EH! 🇨🇦👍👽
Hello Mike, am just joining your channel for the first time, please what's the difference between this tv and the Hisense A7G?. THANKS
I will let you know once I get my hands on one. But is is QLED technology, which should give it a better picture quality upgrade but most likely not a *huge* one though. Brightness and HDR performance aren't a huge jump. It is not AndroidTV like this one, which I feel is a downgrade.
Does the Qled hisense TV has obvious wuality difference over the A6 series?
Planning between the 2 if the Qled or A6 series
Yes. Get the QLED version.
lol how tall is he?
Hi Mike or anyone, does this tv power on automatically when it gets power (after you unplug it when it's on) ? I want to use it in an application where TV turns on when power strip turns on. I know tcl doesn't but samsung and lg do. wondering about hisense.
Thanks in advance
I don't think this will work for that. You'd still need a remote IR to power it back on.
Ok thanks. I saw when you first plugged it in it turned on automatically. I was hoping it did that every time
@@jasonexists it isn’t consistent or has proven to be inconsistent in that matter. But the times I unplugged it was because the tv was not responding as expected, so required a reboot.

Omg got half way through and gave up got so bored
Thank you so much for the review. Do you know why you can’t zoom on the tv. Because it seems like it gives it the option too. It says picture size wide so I think you should be able to change it right?
Those type of features have been typically found on higher end TV sets. Almost easier to control that from the source.
Don't buy hisense, trust me, you'll regret it
Sorry you had a bad experience :(. I have 3 different Hisense Tvs now. So far so good. *cross my fingers*
@@MikeMu had 2 and they're both dead, so can't say I didn't give them a chance. Never again
@@siyasto What's dead on them? Any warranty assistance? USA or elsewhere?
@@siyasto explain...how long u had them?
I Still Have My 42inch Hisense Since 2008.. Works Amazing Still. Hisense Is Better Than Vizio And TCL. Tell Me I'm Wrong......
Hi Mike Is the tv A6G or A6 series in the box shows A6 series and the video title shows A6G series? Thanks
Same thing. Both are abbreviations for this same series.
