Hisense 50-Inch Class A6 Series 4K UHD Smart Google TV with Alexa Compatibility, Dolby Vision HDR, DTS Virtual X, Sports & Game Modes, Voice Remote, Chromecast Built-in (50A6H)

Hisense makes a value priced TV that hold up well. This is my second Hisense TV. I bought a 58 inch Hisense in 2021 that I ended up giving to my sister, she still loves it. I got my 75 inch through Amazon in April of 2024. It hasn't missed a beat since! I paid extra to have Amazon unbox it and remove the packaging. It was easy to setup. I use it for streaming all the time. I added the Roku app and others in my quest for the ultimate streaming capability. The picture is very watchable, brightness, contrast and color are all good. I mainly use my TV in "theater mode." I'd say its a durable product based on the use I've had since April of 2024.

Several labels on and in the box warn that the actual screen should not be touched when lifting the TV out of the box, or when moving it around, because the panel can be cracked easily under direct pressure from a strong grip. This actually applies to most new TVs.I carefully held the TV by the thin frame when moving it around. It is very light at 15 pounds, however.Feet are about 33 inches apart. Easy to wall mount.I use the Hisense 43A6H primarily as a computer monitor, and for occasional TV or movie watching. 43 inches is a great size monitor for people with vision problems.Viewed from 4 feet away, I could not see any pixels. The 4K resolution allows text to appear very smooth on the screen.The IPS panel allows viewing from wider angles without the picture becoming dimmer - unlike VA panels which become dimmer when viewed from wide angles.The remote control has a large flat base, so it can stand vertically on a table. There are no number buttons on the remote control to directly choose a channel. The 123 button on the remote can be used to easily access a TV channel if one does not want to use the microphone - or if one does not want to repeatedly press the channel up/down button.I recently discovered TubiTV online, so I appreciate having a dedicated button for it on the remote control.The picture is easy to adjust. There are more video calibration controls and audio controls than I expected for a budget 4K television, but the colors seemed accurate out of the box.Bluetooth easily pairs the TV with the remote control and wireless headphones.There is a low blue light setting in the picture advanced settings menu. This minimizes eye strain when looking at the TV for long periods of time.Tech Steve has a good video showing how to use the variable refresh rate feature for video game consoles. The video is at the bottom of the Amazon page for this TV. Thanks, Steve.Sound is typical small TV speaker sound, but not screechy. I use a receiver to send audio to speakers next to the TV.There is a headphone jack as well as a digital optical audio out jack.The tuner picked up more than 100 over the air channels in the SF Bay area, using a flat indoor antenna taped to the window.The 1080p and 720p over the air signals looked great. Blu-Ray discs looked stunning.Casting from a phone was easy.The streaming apps worked fine, using both Wi-Fi and wired ethernet. Extra apps can be downloaded from google through the TV. The first time I turned on the TV, it automatically tried to connect to the internet via Wi-Fi. I prefer the wired ethernet connection for reliability reasons.The two USB ports each can support 128 Gigabyte USB memory sticks as well as 8 Terabyte hard drives - as long as they are in either NTSF or FAT32 formats.One of the three HDMI 2.0 ports has eARC.The Easy Setup guide in the box is actually a 24 page booklet, all in English. A more detailed multi-language e-manual can be viewed on the TV or downloaded onto a computer.For privacy reasons, I have not signed up for the built-in Google assistant app yet - and because I wanted to see how the TV performed without the Google or Alexa voice feature. So I have not tried the voice control on the remote control. The TV works fine if the microphone and Google TV features are not used.*I am very happy with this budget 4K television. No stuck pixels. Easy to set up. It worked fine right out of the box.Highly recommended.

The TV is outstanding.

Bought this for my elderly mom who watches TV exclusively through her hard-wired Dish satellite box. When I first hooked this up, the automated Hisense setup process ensued. For some reason, I went ahead and connected the set to Wi-Fi (even though the Wi-Fi features will never be used by my mom). When I got around to setting up the Dish features, Hisense hijacked the TV saying there was a (firmware?) update available. It gave me no choice to decline the update; the only “option” available was to “update”. 15 minutes later the update was completed. Back to the Dish setup. Again, an “update” hijack. After the THIRD such update, 45 minutes later, I called Hisense and surprisingly got to a human very quickly. A human who had no idea how many more updates we might have to endure. I should have gotten suspicious when I saw a manufacture date of 2/2023 (I bought this 12/2024). Before the 4th hijack, I drilled back in and killed the Wi-Fi connection. That solved the problem.Once I finally got it set up and out of the grips of update hijacks, this TV has a beautiful, crisp, clear picture and very good sound. Mom’s happy! And, when mom’s happy….
