I bought the Hisense 65H8F model, I have only had it for one day. And so far I am loving it, it does have a free bad things about it, but overall it went above my expectations. I have always owned Samsung or LG TVs but decided to give Hisense a go for to bring able to have Android TV for cheap. Not my peeps and cons are based on the hardware not the software as it can be updated fairly easily unlike traditional smart TVs.
Cons:
Dark corners of screen
Brought white colors seems to cause minor bleeding
Legs seems flimsy
Screwed for mounting hardware are you short and get small.
CPU could be faster
Lack of storage space, could be higher for little $$.
Pros:
Amazing picture quality
Very light tv, way handles to left by
Virtually no bezel
Very comfortable remote
Supports ARC, eliminating cables to sound system.
240 motion rate makes video look amazing
HDR allows the long night to be seen unlike either of Samsung TVs.
Now a free weird about how I used it tonight. Loaded up all my favorite Google apps, YouTube tv, youtube, Google play movies, along with hbo, steam link.
First off I didn't expect steam link to work so well. I have Google WiFi and it streamed the Witcher in 4K to my TV with no noticable lag, tried a lot of other action games as well such as gungeon and Sine Mora, and battlefield 4. All played extremely well.
4k content played extremely well though I didn't not have an Ethernet cable plugged in, it loaded and buffered to 4k within about 30 seconds. This is due to only having an 80 mbps connection.
As above watched s8e3 the long night off hbo, the dark scenes we're clear and easy to see, watched it in broad day light with shares open on a 75° day with lots of sun. Again no issues at all.
YouTube and YouTube seemed to be a bit slow.
Default browser was not tried but I downloaded Brave and worked great, watched YouTube fatser hen YouTube app.
Synced Google mini and Bluetooth controllers to tv, they all worked great.
Google Home has not been able to find my TV, but that may be my Google home, it's been dying for a few days and doesn't responded like the other ones in my house. With that, my bedroom Google mini could control the tv just fine, but still can't add to my Google home app.
I'll update again in 30 days. If my cons don't steer you away you will love this tv, and love the price you paid even more!
Update: So bit longer than 30 days, still loving the TV, it is fantastic I have told many people about it and they too have ordered it. No its not the best on the market, but its amazing for what it costs. Everything i said still holds true. Fantastic product.
