This is a great TV for the price however has some major lacking features.
Whilst you can cast YouTube and Netflix to the TV, you cannot cast any other streaming services.
Disney+, Prime, BBC iPlayer, Chilli and so on – you cannot cast.
This seemed bizarre so I contacted Hisense support to make sure I wasn’t missing anything. However, Hisense confirmed this isn’t a feature and they were not willing to assist further.
If I want to cast to this TV, I’ll need to purchase an external Chromecast/Firestick. Alternatively use the clunky and slow remote….

I bought this Tv quite sceptical and after looking through the specs decided to make the plunge, it was delivered on time and promptly. Packaging was great and secure leaving no doubt of damage upon delivery, the Tv comes with a stand and remote and other documents such as the manual etc, setup was easy and I was surprised about the picture quality it was fantastic and receptive, there are sometimes some dark spots but these can be overcome via custom scene setting. Slight objection to this product would be that the Tv lead Is put is on the right hand side rather than the left leaving an already short Tv lead requiring an extension cable. They manufacturer has recently had an update providing more streaming platforms such as Disney plus, prime, Netflix and others. Overall great Tv to purchase and would highly recommend.

I like that it is light, thin, very little bezel, sounds good, lovely picture just adjust it to the way you want it or leave it on default. Put all the passwords etc for the apps, which is a pain but worth it. Only app I couldn’t make work was the VIDAA app to make my phone a remote for the tv( just in case I can’t find the remote🙄) So went online and there is a “Remote Now” app which is recommended, so downloaded it and works perfectly. I really like it and would recommend it to anyone.!!

I have used this television for over a year with my Xbox Series X and I cannot fault it. I have had no issues so far and the smart menu is really modern – reminiscent of the new Google TV.
Watching the new Rings of Power really shows the televisions Picture Quality in all of its glory and it so much smoother compared to my old set.

Just got mine delivered today. I was sceptical as it only had 4 reviews on amazon and no more i could find online. My budget was limited so for the price my expectations were low but so far so good. The picture is crisp, the sound is nice and both can be tweaked in the settings, mine are still set to default and already im please. The setup was decent and easily let me log into my accounts for Itv, Iplayer, Netflix and Prime, all of which were already installed on the tv. The remote is heavy (in a good way) and has dedicated buttons for Freeview, Netflix, Prime and a coulple more that but i dont use them. The only downside to the freeview is that it needs an aerial or satellite to tune in where as my last tv worked over the internet so i have no channels until i get an aerial. It is able to be mounted to the wall with normal wall brackets however the screw holes are not that deep but all standard mounts should fit. Its fairly heavy so bere that in mind when buying a wall mount. Looking at the screen, the hdmi and aerial are to the left side at the back and cable to plug in is on the right side, the wire is only 1.5m long. It claims to have 2.1 hdmi ports but I have yet to try my playstation5 as i only have a 2.0 hdmi lead, but will update when it comes. All round the tv is nice looking, the picture is great and the sound is good, the UI is average nothing special but snappy without lag. Deliverey was a few days but it arrived with absolutey no damaged to the box which is rare for amazon. 2 people are needed to pull it out of the box as its well packaged, id recommend 2 people carrying the tv when it is out of the box as the bezzle around the tv is very thin and not easy to carry without holding the screen. Definitely well worth the money and i recommend this tv Highly. Hope this review answers some questions i originaly had.

Great tv all the usual features you would expect from Hisense, comes with YouTube, Netflix, Amazon prime preinstalled on the remote only downside is its not playstore based for apps , but they are working on this in future upgrade releases picture quality is fantastic, but not able to play games console at 120hz on the newer games consoles but still great picture at 60hz. 4k and dolby atmos sound built in speakers with hdmi arc to connect to dolby atmos sound systems or spdif connection.
