They’ve got a 3 year in home warranty my man. Obviously they’ve got faith they’re making a decent product.
Have this model in a bedroom and its running great. Had another smaller model in another room. The 32" model's wifi was having issues, talked to customer support ( took less than one minute to talk to a person) they sent a email with some solutions to try to fix it. When they didn't work called them back they organised a replacement TV to be couriered to my place, they upgraded the model to the newest generation and took care of every thing. It was less than a weeks time from reporting the initial fault to having the replacement installed.
I've dealt with samsung, LG and sony support this was the most pain free experience yet. They seem to really be standing behind their products and wanting to give a good experience.
You should buy one. Open it up and check the soldering to let us all know.
Thanks.
*50N7 for title
Thanks mate, fixed.
Hmm looking for 55 or more a bit too late should buy during eBay sale
That is a great price for one. I bought one on sale late last year for about $50 more and it’s very decent. I’d say it will be leaps ahead of a Soniq or Bauhn, but won’t hold up against a comparable mid-range Sony or Samsung. About what you’d expect, given the price point.
For context, I bought a Sony X7000D a few months prior and the Sony does blacker blacks, better sound, and has the Google Play Store. Admittedly, it was about $300 more, but by the time you’ve added a chrome cast ultra or Apple TV, that comes down a bit. I didn’t think I’d miss the Play store as much as I did with the hisense. I ended up buying a chromecast for the N7, but it’s not quite as slick as having the movie rentals etc being built in to the OS itself.
For me, half the fun is finding apps that will work on it.
What apps did you install on yours?
Just the catchup apps and you tube kids. I’ve exlerimented with some others but ditched them. I do like having the Google and Sony movie services though - I’d been spoiled by that so didn’t occur to me that the hisense wouldn’t have one.
Some games play alright on them. Played a few Riptide ones on there and The Bards Tale. I spent more time on them than I'd like to admit because sitting right below the TV is a PS4.
55N7 was this price earlier in the year…
fyi - the 50" uses a Chinese panel whereas the 55" uses a Samsung panel.
Have you got a source for that?
EDIT: NVM found it. Here's the info:
50: AU Optronics/Edge Lit/50Hz/10bit/460nits/Wide Colour Gamut/1200:1 Contrast/Local Dimming 14 Controllable Zones.
55: Samsung/Edge Lit/100Hz/10bit/385nits/Wide Colour Gamut/4000:1 Contrast/Local Dimming 16 Controllable Zones.
65: Samsung/Edge Lit/100Hz/10bit/420nits/Wide Colour Gamut/4000:1/Local Dimming 16 Controllable Zones.Interestingly Samsung use Optronics panels in (at least some) of their own 50" TV's. A comparison of Samsung vs Optronics panels here shows a negligible difference between the two.
And a perhaps political correction depending on which side you fall on, AU Optronics are Taiwanese not Chinese….
Approved by Sheppard himself.
How's the color reproduction on these compared to plasmas? Am yet to upgrade from my trusty 2010 panasonic.
Is this really good? I know hisense is using top quality panel but i believe panel isn't everything, it is of course important but the built, soldering, cabling,software, other materials are also important.
