    Did u read the description? It would be fine for wall mount as long as the bracket is rated for it and it's installed properly.

  As mentioned here, this is probably the greatest value tv going around, the M series is on par with the big boys at 60-70% of the cost, use that saving to invest in a decent soundbar and you're off:

  Also a mate who works at Bing Lee said these tvs are usually the go to for customers and there is a reason for it. Would steer away from the series before this (I think 'H'?).

  I have this tv and am very happy with it for the price i paid(it was $1599 after Christmas at Bing Lee - HN pricematched and used the $100 Amex deal).
  Hisense are now the 4th largest TV distributor in the world behind samsung, sony and i think LG.
  Its a good tv. Its not perfect, but for the money, im more than happy!
  Runs well with 4K through the ps4, although I think it was trying to upscale foxtel, which i had to change. Battlefield 1 looks amazing.
  Its not bad out out of the box, but can use a little tweaking. Thers a few forums around with suggested settings.
  I notice artifacts a little watching Fox Sports. But again, Im happy with it.

  Wanted to have a look at these TVs at JB today at lunch. Store super busy. They had the 55, 65, 70 and 75.

  55 and 75 were playing the system demo mode, 65 was on fox sports, 70 was off.

  Demo mode looked really good PQ wise but text was a little fuzzy. There was one screen in the demo where it didn't handle the colour gradiation too well. Fox sports on the 65 had a fair bit of artifacts going on.

  Wish I had brought down some content on USB for a proper test. Might try to later this evening.

  Does anyone know how well these upscale SD content? Was looking at getting the Sony KD65X8500D so any comparisons also welcome.

    All UHD or 4K TVs have to upscale content that is not 4K, so then it because a question of how well they do it.
    Sony has some fairly significant experience in this and from most of the reviews I have read Sony's upscaling of content is one of the best, if not the best because of their upscaling hardware which they call "x-reality". The X8500D gets that, and the model above that gets "x-reality pro".
    The upscaling would be better on the X8500D (also known as the x85D or x850D), but you don't get local dimming and on the Hisense you do. You have to go to the X930D to get local dimming on the Sony.
    The other thing you should consider is peak brightness,and this with generally affect the contrast particularly with HDR content. I guess that the Hisense (like most low range) is sitting at about 300nits, the Sony you are considering probably over 400nits.
    Most of the Samsung models are over 1000nit which is part of the UHD Premium certification.
    Bottom line is that the X850D is going to be better if you watch a lot of SD, HD or FHD content, and in reality that's what most people are doing because there is not much 4K content.
    Have a look at www.rtings.com/tv/ or 4k.com for some very comprehensive reviews. The problems is that these very comprehensive review sites have not tested any Hisense models, so it makes it difficult to compare.

      Thanks Masterpupil, I agree that the higher model Sonys are good at upscaling and it seems that from most reviews that the Hisense M7000UWG is also good, for example this review reckons it's even better than LG and Samsung's upscaling. http://www.pcworld.idg.com.au/review/hisense/series-7-uled-4…

      This site is sort of useful for determining TV specs (albeit US model numbers) and has brightness of this set at 420cd/m² http://www.displayspecifications.com/en/model/bf1d5f0 so maybe contrast and brightness for HDR may not be too bad?
      (edit: actually just read the spec sheet on the Hisense site, says brightness is 385)

  Question. I'm still running a 55" Panasonic Plasma and still love the picture quality, especially for sport. Historically the LEDs weren't as good as Plasma for sport. Are these new LED TVs such as this Hisense as smooth to watch the footy and cricket as my old Plasma is? If so I could be tempted to changeover sometime soon. thanks

    I also have a Panasonic Plasma St50 and a Panasonic 4k LED LCD. The good thing about the LCD is that it has better colour and brightness but very bad viewing angle. The plasma on the other hand has the best viewing angle I ever seen, inky black with no clouding or haloing effects. But the most important thing about the Plasma that is still better than both the latest LED LCD or even OLED is the way it handle motion. The plasma handle motion so much better than my 4k LCD and its so natural while the LCD would stutter in a wide panning shot which is irritating to say the least. So I'm holding on to my plasma for dear live and hope it won't die anytime soon.

      thanks Wolf! I just wasn't sure if my eyes were deceiving me or not. I assisted my parents to buy a new Samsung UA55KS8000 55" screen recently and I was watching the cricket over the summer on it. I noticed particularly on the replays of wickets that the ball had a jagged sense to it and wasn't as smooth as my awesome plasma. On the other hand though, the kids animated Blurays and DVDs looked fantastic and just popped out of the screen and I was very impressed. Given the AFL and cricket is important to me i think I'll be hanging on to the plasma for dear life as well and hope it doesn't die.

        All good man! Definitely for sport which means alot of motion/actions are involved then plasma is still the king. I'm waiting for the Sony or Panasonic Oled review and a price drop before buying one since they have the best motion processors of any TV companies at the moment. They both might be using LG's Oled panel but their motion handling technologies will make all the different.

  For those that have taken this home themselves from shop, what car did it fit in ?

  Wonder if it would fit in the back of a SUV (Outlander) with back seats folded down.

  Edit: Found the carton dimensions on the site - Carton box dimensions (W x H x D) [mm] 1614 x 1016 x 185

    Be careful. It's not recommended to lay these TVs down and they should be transported upright. I have a Qashqai and had to put my 60" at a slight angle. I would not have fit a 65".

      Definitely dont mount on the roof racks with panel facing downwards on a rainy day lol.
      At the same time we dont know how much attention is paid to shipping/transport instructions from the time they are made at the factory to the retail shop

  Wolfofwallstreet on 12/01/2017 - 18:12

  Its very tempting at this price but at the end of the day is a LCD and with LCD you still have lights bleed, clouding and haloing, so I'm waiting for the new Sony A1 Oled review and maybe wait til next year when all the new TV that should have HDMI 2.1 which is a substantial upgrade from HDMI 2.0.

  How are Software Updates done on these Newer mOdels?
  The one I had you had to request a USB drive from Hisense if you wanted to update the Software and then hope it works?

  Is it still the same?

  Not much of a smart TV if you cant even do updates….

  cheers

  Can anyone comment on how this is with fast motion?

  If I cannot watch sport on this it is a no go.
