      This 100 percent

      This is currentl;y the gold standard in miniled Tvs for under 3000 dollars

        Nonsense, I am perfectly happy with my two year old Hisense, has also gotten many updates and solved many issues. All the Samsung, lg, and Sonys at the same price point are not worth it.

    This is supposed to be an amazing tv in US reviews

      The issue has been whether Au customers get the same TV specwise.

        Unfortunately I don't think so. The AU model has VIDAA U6 for it's OS. Where's the US model has Google TV. Probably a few other things as well.

          Not by choice

          Hisense is locked out legally from having GOOGLE OS here and in almost all asian markets,No idea why..but it's a thing..

    Heads up

    This is possibly the best TV in australian history for that price point

    It trades blows with sony LED flagships

    That hisense,Is better than the Sony x95 miniled

    If it is in fact the same backlight as the US model,then it's a nearly perfect Miniled

      I have seen it. Dark Colours seem faded. No where near X95k. Haha

      This might be one of those bait-and-switch Hisense moves where they use the same model number in Australia but with different specs.

      Edit: After seeing the Reddit thread below, that definitely seems like the case.

    $40 more if don’t have Costco membership. Sometimes they price match if ask nicely live chat

  • kenjai on 09/10/2022 - 23:55

    Should wait for Black Friday?

    Based on this thread, Hisense is still being very dodgy. I avoid Hisense TVs. They may be good in the US, but they like to scam Australians.

    Hisense sending B grade models and inferior panels to Australia again hoping people get confused with US reviews
    This is the U8HAU, not the U8H reviewed in the US
    Actual local reviews here - https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/thread/3246j1zv?p=7#r140

    US spec sheet lists 336 FALD zones - https://assets.hisense-usa.com/assets/ProductDownloads/448/6…
    AU spec sheet lists nothing - https://hisense.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/55U8HAU_Sp…

    Terrible price B grade crap. Do not buy.

    It'd be nice if Costco imported the American model..

    I don't understand why there are still people recommending Hisense on here when they give Australians crap panels and OS compared to US. I won't buy them just out of principle.

  • wtfnodeal on 10/10/2022 - 01:09

    So are we paying a lot less for a grade B crap compared with the one sold in US? Or just Hisense takes us as a fool?

    • Maths Debater on 10/10/2022 - 01:55

      This is how they got a name for themselves in Australia. They originally used panels from reputable manufacturers then once they gained a foothold in the market, they started manufacturing their own panels which are plain and simply trash.

  • Le-X on 10/10/2022 - 06:40

    Don't buy Hisense tv's in Australia. I got burnt 2 years ago, I read all the reviews but they do a bait and switch and I ended up paying for a crap tv.
