I’m looking for a new TV for around £500. Recently got a new Hisense washing machine and I’m very impressed with it, in particular the ability to control it from the app and the energy efficient eco mode that’s saving a small fortune in electricity. Any thoughts on this:

At the price points, Hisense and TCL will be better far better, than what you would get from the competition, where you would pay at least double the price for similar featurers. I’ve said many a time, you can’t go wrong with Hisense or TCL, who use to make Samsung panels. Importantly is your looking to upgrade to the latest tech (mini LED)
Are you stuck at £500? The U7Q (£674) Pro sits just below the flagship U8Q and “U” being the flagship range compared to “E” series, which is similar to TCL’s “P” series and are cut down versions.
What do you watch?
Do you watch more than 28-30 degrees off axis or looking headon to the TV?
@kezo – is there anything electrical you don’t know?! Good shout on the viewing angles.

No 🤣
I worked at my uncles Pansonic sales and repair shop and could have taken it over when he died, but with those blasted capacitors, there was less chance of getting a shock going into industrial and commercial electrics and as I love electronics, qualifing at 16 through my uncle, I stayed upto date. I discussed this in depth in my TV thread, when @menorcamike was looking to have a new TV in times gone by.

I probably view it at around 20 degrees off center. Good call about the next model up but I’ve already bought it, couldn’t resist the £100 off and 6 year warranty. Samsung curved around 8 years old has got flares rising from the bottom, finally had enough. I am impressed with the Hisense washing machine we got.
Mostly watch YouTube, Netflix, Prime and very little terrestrial tv.

I take great pleasure spending other peoples money 🤣 However, you will be fine and probably more than you need for HD content etc and will upscale to nearly 4k anyway.
Its got a VA panel, so 20 degrees offset will be fine.
Did you get it from you local RS or having it delivered?
I got a TCL C7k for bedroom last year and it makes my £2k LG OLED picture look dull!
Ordered online, been buying from Richer Sounds since the 90’s. Got my first surround sound amp from them, a Yamaha DSPA590. The 6 year warranty is great.

Oh and Hisense have Freely…
Yeah, I’m thinking Incan plug a usb drive in and record tv.

Not sure about recording from the internet or whether freely supports recording tbh however, the TV has the major apps for catch up.
Is your freeview box recordable?
A

I have a 2TB Freesat box, but hardly use it. I could get rid of it if you can record from Freely to USB.

Worth trying for sure, but can’t say yes or no whether it will work and if I edged my bets, I’d say 60-70% no.
Has it arrived? Try these for basic picture settings
Cheers Kezo I’ll have a look at that. It’s coming tomorrow. There was 4 delivery options, free delivery which was quoted as within 7 days and 3 other options which all cost £20. I opted for the free delivery but it’s only taking 2 days for delivery. They’ve sent me a receipt with my 6 year warranty.

Both RS & Costco are fab with warranties and my go to stores.
Let me know if settings need tweaking more…
It arrived, picture is amazing, last tv was a Samsung 4k, this Hisense one kicks its arse. The sound is awesome too, seems to have more bass, it does say it has a built in subwoofer. I’m really impressed. If anyone is in the market for a new 55” tv, you can’t go wrong with this model £500 using the voucher from Richer Sounds.

Has I said can’t go wrong with Hisense or TCL, both manufacturers punch well above there weight across the board.
The sub is at the back top centre.
You will get a better the picture if you change the setting.
Don’t forget pics 🙂
Really impressed with freely, think it uses a mix of aerial and internet, BBC works when the aerial is unplugged but Sky News doesn’t. I’ve noticed the picture on my Firestick is a bit warmer, it could be the YouTube channel I’m watching.
Enyaq EV
Yes the YouTube on the tv is more vibrant than the Firestick, going to have to play. It’s got apps I’ve never heard of, lots of instant access buttons for them.
Enyaq EV
First image is Prime on Firestick second is Prime on tv, you can see tv is cooler and seems more vibrant.

If not dones so, change basics as in video and go through picture mode settings – standard-filmaker day/night – theatre etc, decide if one is better than rest.
Check hdmi port setting or try another port.
It will take a while watching different content before you settle on best settings.
HDMI ports 1 & 2 are version 2.1 / Ports 3 & 4 are version 2.0, whils’t backwards compatible its worth try port 3 or 4.
What HDMI settings have you got (pic)
