While there have been many bargain posts for the bigger versions of this tv I've been waiting for the 50" version (my wife says size isn't everything!) to be discounted for ages. This is by far the cheapest that it has been. An amazing price from a series of tvs that were considered one of the very best in 2016:

    Hisense’s ULED 4K TV is certainly worth the asking price, though you may want to consider what a little bit more money might get you.

    Hisense set out to make a good upper-midrange TV, and that’s exactly what it's done. If you’re a hardcore AV enthusiast and you’re after the last shred of detail in shadows and highlights, this isn’t for you. The Hisense H65M7000 doesn’t have what it takes to beat the likes of the premium LG OLED65E6V or the Samsung UE65KS9500.

    If money is no object then this isn't the television for you, you should be out shopping for one of LG's stunning Ultra HD HDR OLEDs. In terms of contrast you'd also get a better picture from a full array backlit LED rather than a edge-lit screen like this.

    what I can tell you is that the black picture result on this TV is second to the OLED. A distant second to be clear, but a clear second. [this reviewer did state that this is the definitive second best tv]

    There is no perfect model on the market and the best all-rounders we’ve seen are Sony's best Bravias. [this reviewer did go on to contradict themselves and say this was the best tv, make of that what you will]

    We’re noticing a sea-change here. While Samsung has delivered a huge range of choices it seems to be relying on its brand and the punchy colours of the 9000 Series to sell all of its TVs. The 7000 Series curved models are highlights as there’s nothing else to challenge them at that price. However, the curved models of the 8000 and 9000 Series are only really there for people who can’t afford an LG OLED TV (except for the $25K 88-inch variant which is King Kong awesome).

    For everything else there’s Hisense. It rivals every flat-screen TV on the market for top-quality picture reproduction

    So not the best TV according to your links.

      Lol comparing an LCD TV against an OLED. The OLED TV would cost at least twice the price of this one at minimum.

      • BertieBrown on 26/02/2017 - 20:13

        Yup. OLED is undoubtedly better but like the debates of yore, between Kuro and Panasonic (jeez that wasn't even that long ago but feels like ages), it's all about perspectives. If you're a millionaire anything but an OLED probably won't satisfy you. If you're like most of us, this is a great TV set. Can we still call them TV sets? Or is that just for the old CRT style?

        • strangeloops66 on 26/02/2017 - 21:36
          +1

          I think we can. A television set combines a tuner, display, and loudspeakers. It is a set of components in a single unit. In fact, it makes no sense to say "I have a television". Oh, really, you have a signal? The word "set" (or "receiver") is implicit.

        • BertieBrown on 26/02/2017 - 23:00

          @strangeloops66: Thanks :) I've always thought it weird that they're not called TV sets anymore.

  • SySalem on 25/02/2017 - 16:56

    Thinking about this one or the Sony Bravia X8000D 49" from this deal: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/292500
    Any comments or suggestions or thoughts would be appreciated, as I'm just not 100% sure. This one is a little bit cheaper, but maybe the Sony is worth that little extra?

        • nicholasfrawley on 25/02/2017 - 22:29

          Runs Android (better ui), more reputable brand, the picture on Sonys looks fantastic. Got a 50 inch 1080p one in 2014 and looks great

        • Xastros on 25/02/2017 - 23:02

          @nicholasfrawley: Thanks for the input but I was hoping for a bit more specific info than that. Especially comparing these two models. The fact that Sony had a good 2014 model isn't really relevant to this comparison.

          Android is definitely an advantage but I'm placing more importance in the picture quality than the smart features. Will probably run most things off a Mi Box anyway than use in built stuff.

        • BertieBrown on 26/02/2017 - 20:17

          @Xastros:

          If I were you, I'd get the Hisense.

          From everything that I've read it seems to be an absolutely great value TV. But, if PQ is a really specific demand then you should probably do some research into both models and compare specific parameters. AVforums does good reviews, as does HDTVtest.

        • Xastros on 28/02/2017 - 15:13

          @Jawanzar: Thanks. Ended up purchasing the Hisense after some research. Will unfortunately need a firmware update and manual calibration. Also will probably buy one of those Miboxes so he doesn't have to use Opera OS. Plus… Kodi haha.

        • BertieBrown on 01/03/2017 - 10:14

          @Xastros: No worries :) Enjoy the new TV

      I went to JB yesterday to look at both TVs as im considering buying either hisense 75" or Sony x8500 65". I found the picture brighter on Hisense but menu on Sony a lot zipper. Also the Sony stand is a lot sexier then the Hisense but if your going to do a wall mount it really doesn't matter. Im heading towards the Sony but will probibly make an impulse decision tomorrow lol.

      • bindok on 26/02/2017 - 12:35

        I own the Sony x8500 65. Its a really good set. Bought one in 2015 Boxing Day Sale from HN for $2400. Expensive but worth it in my opinion. I just found the picture on other sets over saturated and brightened to give a fake 'boost'. While that wows you it gets tiring very soon. Sony's have a much more natural picture. The blacks are rich and the upscaling from 1080 => 4k works extrememly well. I run Kodi and VLC on it thanks to Android.

        • ialam99 on 26/02/2017 - 21:48

          Yep ended up going for the Sony in the end…asked for delivery as im fairly certain it won't fit in my focus…can't wait till it's delivered :)

    • Phoebus on 26/02/2017 - 13:21

          @PAOK11: I have a BA as posted earlier and I fit a 55" TV in the back seat. There was some wiggling and playing around to install correctly however it was a snug fit.

          Therefore the BF would be no different … well maybe the interior seat pattern will be different :-)

      • scuderiarmani on 26/02/2017 - 15:58

        Can't put back seats down in a Commodore, so if it can't go through the doors it's not going in.

    If you plan for this TV to use as a gaming monitor, according to the specs @ JB, it only has a 50Hz refresh rate. So no 2160p60. Another mention is that it only supports Wifi A/G/N and not AC. Not sure if it will make a difference with the performance of the Web OS/Smart features.

  • ode1online on 26/02/2017 - 00:22

    When watching 4k HDR content the Brightness is very important and the hisence only has approx. 400 nits where the sony HDR and Samsung HDR tvs are rated at 1000 nits. The sony and Samsung should be brighter, however TVs are not typically setup for optimum viewing at the store. Id check out the reviews of the Samsung and sony before buying anything.

    From the SMH review listed by the OP
    It's a 10-bit panel but it doesn't pump out 1,000-nit brightness (only 400 nits) so it can't quite match the fine detail of some more expensive televisions.

    • F111 on 28/02/2017 - 23:24

      Good point. Could be important if daytime viewing in say a bright room. Night viewing and lights-off movie nights or in bedrooms likely not too much of an issue. My 50" 3300 model is quite OK and bright imho in a north facing bright family room. Remote gives quick access to picture defaults such as standard, theatre etc. Glossy screen requires careful placement. Not sure about the 7000 model screen if reflective. Someone might chime in…

  • dealsucker on 26/02/2017 - 00:28

    Hisense bought Sharp and Hitachi a while back. My 70" Sharp Quattro Pro is stunning and far from the current best. My Hisense FHD 50 3300 series bought in Jan is good after careful calibration and at 1/5 the cost of the Sharp is amazing value. SD scaling is good. Sound is CRAP however! Channel change lag is similar between the two. Maybe check that unless you will view via a PVR to record and/or buffer to avoid all ads. Fortunately my TiVo is quicker than both my sets in that regard. Long live the TiVo 😀

    • C0mbat on 26/02/2017 - 07:26

      By all accounts, this new series is far superior to previous models. One of the reviews mentions good sound. Plus another review mentions no channel change lag when discussing the remote.

    • BertieBrown on 26/02/2017 - 20:10

      My understanding was that they were all full array, though the larger models have more zones and thus better local dimming. But at the price, anything with local dimming and a full array LED backlighting system is probably not bad.
