HISENSE 58A7100FTUK 58-inch 4K UHD HDR Smart TV with Freeview play, and Alexa Built-in (2020 series) Black, Operating System VIDAA

First off, i had issues with Amazon and delivery. Paid for next day, didn't arrive and was quoted two different dates, one being the 'standard free' date. After contacting them once the due delivery time had passed it was sorted and arrived a day late and delivery charge credited to my account. i won't write a book of a review, i'll just keep it as short, sweet n to the point as possible. Packaging is reasonably sturdy. Polystyrene top n bottom which hold the TV firm in box. now usual foam bag containing the TV, a newer addition was a rigid foam grid covering most of the screen between the 'bag' and the box. Wouldn't make a difference if heavy pressure was applied, but every little bit of padding helps with minor knocks n the like. For a £300 TV, so far i can't really fault this one. Picture quality is very very good. I use an ariel feed so not always he best signal, but the TV copes and puts out a great picture. My blu-ray is a slightly older Philips and even with older DVD's between the player and the TV the picture is superb. Tweaking the picture options improves various feeds to my choice. I am yet to play with colour balance, depth, contrast, warmth etc etc...it has those options if your a serious picture tweaker. I haven't fully tested it's picture capabilities with full on geek mode, but watching various steaming services, i don't think i'll have any issues. Sound is ok, it's a flat screen with built in speaker. Even higher end models with built ins suck. However the sound modes can improve and tweak so it's not awful, but get a soundbar or hook it up to a sound system which is what i'm doing to my logitech set. The program menu lag has been mentioned by many as an issue. It can be a tad 'laggy' when trying to scroll thru channels one by one, but honestly for this price not an issue for me. It has since improved with the latest firmware update, not massively but a slight improvement. Having read review after review of TV's from various manufacturers i landed on Hisense...so far not sorry i've given them a go. I'm no techie with tech to measure 'nits' n the like, just a movie geek that isnt hugely fussed about having an 8K set up, or OLED,QLED or any other TV that costs waaay too much for what it is

My previous TV, a TCL 43DP628 43-Inch 4K is a great TV and it only cost £250 on amazon with 5 monthly payments plan. The only problem with it is there are only 2 HDMI inputs and a 3rd was needed. Although I used a switcher to use my 3 devices to connect the tv the wiring was a bit messy and the cables made it difficult to tidy etc. So as this Hisense TV has 3 HDMI inputs plus a lot more apps etc than the TCL. I decided to buy this model after doing some research. As this is a 50" it fits better when watching videos etc and has impressive pin sharp picture quality with several picture settings to choose from. It will upscale lower resolution formats too. Freeview compatible satellite input including a terrestrial TV aerial input. The menu is quite comprehensive and the audio section allows for different devices along with Bluetooth. There is a host of apps that come with this TV including; Netflix, amazon Prime video, YouTube, even Alexa, but you need to register with amazon and have a echo device too. The remote feels quite cheap and is quite noisy when using the central remote control pad. Has 8 dedicated buttons included and is quite easy to use overall. The TV feels and looks well designed and made with 3 HDMI inputs, headphone output that doesn't work even when selected in the menu? There are 2 ethernet connections and a usb port along with an optical audio output as well. The TV has a thin narrow bezel surrounding the main screen that fades into the background and is barley noticeable. There's the usual wall mount bracket holes and feet, but they are polarised as such and will only fit into their dedicated slot. Overall this is a excellent TV with more than enough options to satisfy even the most dedicated TV addicts. Recommend 100% for the price.

Right out of the box colors seem abit off you must go into the settings and spend a good hour changing the brightness and colors to suit your needs. it looks bad as standard the menu and settings easy to use the sound is acceptable i recommend you turn up bass and trebble illl list my settings so you can try it for yourself, theres plenty of videos on youtube to help you set up. Results may vary use this as a guildline. Picture settings: Picture mode - Cinema day Game mode - ON Dynamic Backlight control - OFF Backlight strength - 65 Brightness - 48 Contrast - 78 Color saturation - 65 Sharpness - 14 Adaptive Contrast - OFF Noise reduction - OFF MPEG Noise Reduction - OFF Color temperture - Warm1 Expert settings - nothing Sound settings: Sound mode - AUTO sound mode settings Bass Boost - ON Surround sound - ON Dialogue Clarity - ON Tru Volume - ON Wall mount setup - ON (dont matter if on wall or table the sound gets better ON) Auto Volume control - ON Sound Equlizer: 2 lines to left BASS- turn both up to 9 2 lines to right Trebble - turn both up to 9 finally the middle line midrange - turn up to 5 Hope my settings help once set up its a very nice looking tv the photos ive provided doesnt do it justice old phone it looks better than that you will have to see it for yourself. Dont expect perfection right outta the box you must change settings if you dont you shooting yourself in the foot. the tv was safely delivered and well protected with sponge inside the box, no damage at all. im happy i really dont like the HDR feature but turned that off still happy with it still going strong one year later no problems

From the outset, lets me say that this is not a premium product. However, the quality and functionality does make it stand out in its price bracket. This was bought to replace an LG TV which cost twice as much and failed in a little under two years. Connectivity was an issue with it needing to be used for Xbox, Wii and wireless screen casting from phones and PC which is why I focused on this unit (be aware that you may need to buy an adapter for the Wii as this TV it does not have the individual 3 pin connectivity required - these are easy to pick up if you search Amazon; mine came with a short HDMI cable and I can confirm that the Wii to HDMI solution works perfectly). The stand provided is just about sufficient, although I bought a heavier iso mount stand to stop our cats from knocking it over. The remote is a decent size and has enough dedicated buttons on it to make it useful. Wireless connectivity has been very stable, important for Amazon, Netflix and Ratokan etc., although Disney will need to be set up through other apps. Sound isn't great, but for the price, compromises happen, I actually use a sound stage which connects perfectly to the TV which does allow to adjustment of audio sync should you need it. Screen, I have only used it with HD and standard resolutions and my general experience has been quite positive. Colour saturation is a little bland for me in default, but using the adjustment capabilities is now set to my richer preference in colour. Only issue I have is with the auto-contrast balancing which in principle appears to be a good idea, however, the obvious change in tone to make it easier to see what is happening when the subject is either dark or light (the adjustment highlighting contrast to counter the se changes) does get very annoying, especially at night and even though I have tried on numerous occasions to turn off in setting, keeps turning back on. In conclusion, is this a premium product - No. Would I recommend it based on price, quality and functionality - Yes

This tv was bought for my dad and in his living room it looks massive, it’s sat on a coffee table with one shelf underneath, for his other stuff, but it that big it wouldn’t fit on his tv stand, my dad is 79 years old and he loves the volume up loud and the picture is lovely and bright for him, personally I think it’s a bit too big for his room and how close he’s sat to it, 50” he insisted on that size, shortly after receiving this tv my dad took ill and had to go into hospital, while he was in hospital someone broke into his house and stole his new tv, so unfortunately we didn’t get to use most of the functions, my dad said this is the best tv he’s had and it’s great to be able to see all the beautiful bright colours, and it’s easy to use the remote control, I just wish he had time to work out the other functions, I would definitely recommend buying this tv

New update (19/7/21): --- after several random freezing situations with the TV it now finally stopped working. Simply does not power on anymore. Wonder what would Hisense say now, because they were blaming on Netflix when the TV was freezing and becoming unresponsive. So, called to Amazon and got an EXCELLENT RESPONSE from their side. Full refund and I am returning this piece of crap to them. Thanks a lot to Amazon Customer Services. Hisense should watch and learn... After 4 months using the TV, the issue continuous. And the customer service of HISENSE is horrible. They do not give a solution despite the TV is in warranty and the problems is either hardware or firmware... Their answer? "Must be a problem with the applications and that is not our problem..." And I have that answer in writing by them... AVOID HISENSE!!!! THERE IS A REASON WHY THESE PRODUCTS ARE CHEAP: THE QUALITY IS HORRIBLE... Cheap and poor picture quality. Sound: horrible. This is an update and I am dowloading to 2 stars. After the last firmware update the TV started freezing while Netflix or Prime movies are put in pause for several meetings. The TV becomes completely unresponsive and the only solution is to unplug it and plug again after some seconds. Customer support started with the typical useless response: factory reset (done, didn't work), power cycle (it fixes the problem until the next freezing), and now they started blaming my WiFi and Internet connection. The funny thing is that with my Apple TV connected to the TV I never have this kind of problems. I think I should have spent more money and bought a better TV...

I already had one large HiSense TV that I use for watching TV (!), but wanted another to use mainly as a computer monitor. This TV does the job really well. Being 4K means you can get an awful lot of windows on the screen at once. But the other features make it truly excellent for the price: in particular, the built-in freesat decoder was a real bonus. Just connect up a satellite dish and off you go with hundreds of channels. I've really got no complaints at all. The picture, from the PC, is pin-sharp and clear. The start-up time is not instant, but it's fairly quick. The smart features are pretty responsive. I've seen no dead pixels. Etc. No doubt you could pay twice as much or more for a similar experience. But why would you?

Decided to go with Hisense for a TV instead of the big name ones, and not disappointed. This came in a seriously massive box that did worry me to start with about the sheer size of this thing. The TV us beautifully packed with loots of protection in that massive box. The accessories are kept well away from the screen front too to prevent damage. The 65' TV is absolutely amazing and the feet can be positioned closer together so it'll sit on a small TV stand. Everything feels very sturdy when setup with no worry about wobble or things tipping over. Picture quality is everything we wanted it to be and checked with a 4K picture too. Setup is dead easy and the remote has a good feel to it. For £549, I'm definitely not going to complain! Very pleased customer here.
