Great 4K value and quality at a steal!

Overall the TV is amazing for all your 4k Content and gaming needs, now I will say you will need to do a few things when setting up. First TURN OFF ultra smooth mode if you're not watching a UHD Blu-ray because it'll look super bad, secondly turn the sharpness down to 0 if you're not watching a high quality 1080P-4K content. Other then that the TV will amaze you at a fraction of the cost of other 4k TV'S and there are some features that traded off for the cost, but it is still worth picking up at $500. And one last important note is about the HDR feature on this set, as of now the only way to use the HDR is through the USB port on the side and not through HDMI, I have reached out to Hisense and they confirmed that they are working on possibly sending a firmware update to the TV and allowing the HDR feature work with the HDMI ports, will update if they do when they reach back out to me in a week or so. PS if you have a Xbox One S it'll look great on here ;)
I would recommend this to a friend!

Let's talk about the elephant in the room. It's Hisense. Who? Well, it's not exactly a big deal here in the States but in Asia it's massive. Also remember that Samsung at one time was similar to Hisense when they broke into the industry. Same with Vizio. Now we view those two companies as quality manufacturers. Yes you are taking a risk. But Hisense is giving out a 4 year warranty to mitigate that. So that, the price, and the features, got me to purchase one.
Let's talk about the television. It is the cheapest HDR 4K TV on the market. Period. The HDR was just patched in via firmware (it takes 10 minutes and is super easy just need a USB stick) The picture quality in 4K HDR rivals any of the other low and midrange TV like the Vizio P series (which I owned) but at half the price. No it's not quite as good as the Vizio P series or Samsung KS8500 (another own I tried) but again, it's way less.
The thing about all of these TV (except the Samsung KS8500 and other very high end expensive TVs) is that they don't put out sufficient nits (lght output) to really give full HDR. These companies aren't telling you that though. So if you aren't willing to get the very high end models you won't be getting 1000 nits necessary for HDR10 or 4000 nits for Dolby Vision. So this Hisense puts out 444 nits, the P series like 460 nits. So when the P series says it does Dolby Vision....sure it can receive the signal but it isn't real DV by a lot.
In summation, for a fraction of the cost, you are getting very good features that will allow you to experience SOME HDR and 4K. Meanwhile, the industry has to catch up and start making TVs that can output enough light to fully utilize HDR at an affordable price. So buy this, and once they do make a TV that gives you full HDR with picture quality to boot at a good price and move this TV into the bedroom. You simply cannot beat the value proposition this TV has to offer.

Where did you get the HDR firmware update? Mine won't download and Hisense is refusing to send it to me via email so I can update via USB. They said I would have to wait till a " tier 2 " agent called me. Have been PO about this so if you have the file could you send me the update please, thank you
