Hey Ozbargainers
Pays to shop around. This is the new Hisense 75 inch tv with quantam dots and a back lit panel. Not edge lit like the majority of tvs in this price range. Went a looked at one yesterday and the picture is unbelievable.
Needless to say I’ve just ordered one.
4 grand for a Hi-Sense….. no sense in that
Samsung/LG/Sony/Panasonic are happy to take your money for an entry level inferior TV at the same price as Hisense if you wish.
The LG TVs this size and price are only 100hz refresh rates. Go watch footy on one of those and then this Hisense and tell me you wouldn’t buy one
Isn't "Quantum Dots" Samsung tech? I expect the picture would be pretty good. Any reviews around of this Hisense TV?
Usually means it would have a very good hdr rating
Nope. It's a type of semiconductor that's been around since the 90's.
From a whole 5 minutes googling ULED (this tv) vs OLED, reviews are split. Anyone with specialized knowledge able to give their personal opinion on which is better?
OLED is genuinely different to other LEDs. OLED TVs have better blacks and therefore better contrast.
Any other LED, be it ULED, QLED, or whatever, is just regular LED with marketing.
That said, Hisense is usually fantastic value for money. You will find a huge following on Whirlpool forums for the previous 75 inch 4K model, with local dimming, for less than $2500 two years ago.
Myself included.
What makes OLED great is that pixels are individually backlit (just like plasma was). That means a pixel that is meant to be black is genuinely black, as it isn't lit. Compare that to LCD-based technology, where light behind a pixel must be blocked to avoid it being lit when it is meant to be black. LCD can get part of the way there through "local dimming", but is is not quite the same.
Quantum Dot Display is a type of implementation of LCD. It is not just a marketing gimmick, though whether it makes much difference compared to other methods of LCD, I would't know.
Right on mate.. however would say this — the most important thing is the upscaler when watching non 4k content and thats where the chinese tv's fall flat.. there is a reason why they are cheap.
For an extra few hundred get a ua75nu8000 and that will kill these hisense tvs. Demo content on hisense tvs look awesome but sadly lacking in real world situations.

OLED tv is a better technology because it can control individual pixels and has a refresh rate much faster than a normal LED. Only problem is the price. LG OLED 65 inch for example is around the $4400
OLED will be better in time but it's still only just out of its infancy as a consumer television. The inferior to plasma and CRT "Sample and Hold" tech used in both LCD and OLED is problematic, but nonetheless more refined in current LCDs. OLEDs motion is still a little flaky because of it.
I want an OLED, but I still have my Kuro simply because the motion on OLED's isn't quite there yet.
And dare I say it, the sheer number of local dimming zones on some of these new LCDs makes them almost attractive, which (being an insufferable picture quality snob) is something I never thought I'd say.
But does this ULED eliminate the awful problem which I call the fence pail effect where on a, say green screen, you see different shades of green left to right. Damn annoying when watching the footy. OLED do not have this problem.
Almost all LED have that issue,banding,sometimes just more pronounced than other.Some people return tvs because of it.I even got it on a gsync display which I returned. You could have just gotten a bad panel.Im having real high hopes of this years hisense tvs,waiting for the P9 reviews.
Quite amazing that we are showing such enthusiasm for Chinese brands such as Hisense (and TCL perhapps to a lesser extent) these days. Certainly a testament to how these brands are heading in the direction of quality and innovation while still maintaining a price advantage. Competition is good, just like it was when the then new Korean kids on the block Samsung & LG starting competing with Sony & Panasonic 20 years ago.
Cheaper at the good guys $3495
That's the series 7 model (75P7) for that price
For that amount of money, you could get the Panasonic 75fx750b at HN.
too expensive
