Great starter 4k

Really happy so far with this TV. It must have been a very short sale as the day after it was up to 499 after i got it this past sunday for 379. I wanted something inexpensive to dip my toe in to the 4k world and this fit the bill perfectly. The quality of the picture even without viewing a 4k source is awesome and this would have been a steal at 499. Getting a Xbox one S next week so i can try some 4k films and get the full effect. The TV's i am looking at really wanting are in the 5-8 thousand dollar range so i'm going to wait about 4 years for the prices on those to be really reasonable but this is an awesome stop gap and the 4 year warranty is what finally sold me on this. Very happy with the product so far.

What a disappointment!
By Jlt667
I ordered my TV specifically for use with the Xbox one S but it's not compatible I got the TV in the beginning of August it's now September 24th just got my Xbox one S today and man am I disappointed! I didn't see any reviews that stated that this TV didn't really support HDR until today and I see the replies from Hisense saying an update was coming in early September and then a later reply saying it's supposed to coming late September well September is almost over where is this update already?
