Good price for a good TV. Slightly cheaper than the last deal.
3% cashback with Shopback brings it down to $1601.95. Combine with discount eGift cards to get even lower.

Hisense is better in pretty much every way. In particular, it has full array local dimming and is way brighter (1000 nits vs about 500).
Can you install Android apps on HISENSE VIDAA OS?
NOOOO! Get a SHIELD…
Nope. Vidaa is rubbish and will likely not be updated to support new streaming apps. If you care about Smart TV features consider getting a TCL/Sony or a Chromecast with Google TV (latter is effectively only $43.06 if you're a Netflix subscriber).
@gotz: Have the chromecast with google tv and love it.
Can confirm - Hisense's VIDAA "app store" is complete trash. I have an N7 that I got a year ago and it didn't come with Prime Video, the store doesn't have it (or any other useful apps) either. Basically you're stuck with Youtube and Netflix unless you get a Chromecast like other people suggest :)
@krazynayba: It comes with Prime Video now, the Q8 even has dedicated buttons on the remote for it along with YouTube, YouTube Music, ABC iView, and Netflix. Just wish they'd do Disney+, still have to use the Xbox for that one. I don't have much content from iTunes and Apple TV sucks so don't miss it.
I have the 55 inch of this and I'm super impressed. It's down to 1210 with the code if you don't have space for the 65 inch which I think is the cheapest it's been. I paid 1299 a bit back, but thems the breaks.
Same, I think I paid about $1340 for it. Awesome TV.
can you use the code plus egift cards combined when ordering online?
Yes
Was waiting for this to get down to $1500..
Not sure if I should bite the bullet or wait for boxing day sales but judging from the average Black Friday deals, I'm hesitant it's going to get much cheaper.
I am in the same boat.
I don’t think it will get much cheaper with the big retailers on Boxing Day given it was a big let down on good TV deals for Black Friday. If you need a new TV then get it now or wait for a good Sony deal.
Is this a step up from the 65Q7 and worth the extra $400?
It's 100Hz vs 200Hz motion when it boils down, and the Q8 has JBL branded front speakers (which aren't great, but better than the Q7).
I believe the Q8 is also much brighter and has more local dimming zones. Q7 looks like good value for a darker room.
Yes, Q8 1000 nits and the Q7 doesn't have it listed anywhere I can see… Q8 also has an anti-glare screen. Can confirm works well.
Is this hdmi 2.1?
no
Thanks. I did try looking. A few results mixing their specs/articles
its a great tv (one of the best under 2.5k) once coupled with the new Chromecast or shield tv
Pulled the trigger. Bought my first TV since 2009.
This with some GC or wait for X9000h 65 inch to come back in stock?
I was thinking the same. Couldn’t wait.
im in the same boat. Waiting for the x9000h 65 to drop to 2k. What do you think Xmas?
How's this vs the Q60T?
