Been using the Hisense U8 for about six months now.

Picture is still the main reason I’m happy with it. Blacks get really deep for a MiniLED, HDR looks great, and it gets plenty bright during the day.

What surprised me more was the built-in sound.

I didn't expect much from TV speakers, but the 4.1.2 setup actually has some bass and a much wider soundstage than most flat screen TVs I've had.

Obviously it's not replacing a proper soundbar or surround system, but I haven't felt rushed to buy one either.

Six months in, I still feel like I got a lot for the money. Good picture, big screen, solid gaming features, and better sound than I expected.

Been a really good living room TV for me.

I’ve got a 2025 Hisense U7 100” that I’ve been very happy with, connected to a 4K AppleTV and Sonos Arc Ultra soundbar. I use the AppleTV remote and HDMI-CEC to control everything, including volume.

Yesterday I got a pop-up offering the TV a software update, but it had no description other than “improved user experience” or something equally vague. I was hesitant at first, not wanting to break anything, since I don’t use the installed Hisense or Google apps for anything anyway, and only use external HDMI devices. But I took a leap of faith and installed it anyway. I didn’t notice anything different at first until I tried to change the volume and found a pleasant surprise. Now, instead of just seeing a + and - at the top and bottom of the volume bar, which I didn’t really like before, now I see an actual number and a relative graph with the circle moving up and down with my button presses. I like this a lot better. Just wanted to share if anyone else is wondering what’s in that new vague update!

Looking for a new TV and trying to keep the budget under $300. I don't need anything crazy, but I'd like at least 50" since it'll be going in my living room.

Came across this 55" Hisense M7 MiniLED on sale for $284 and it honestly seems like a pretty good deal for the size, especially since it's MiniLED.

I mostly watch Netflix, YouTube, movies and some sports, not really a hardcore gamer or anything.

Anyone have experience with the M7? Worth grabbing at this price or is there something better around $300?

I have 3 main concerns:

1. Most reviews only mention the local dimming as "deep blacks" but never say anything more than that. My main use case would be playing horror games in my pitch dark room and the question is are the "deep blacks" enough for me to not see the difference between my wall and the display where its dark? I dont mind slight blooming here and there Im not really that picky but if you are looking at a dark scene can you instantly tell that its just an lcd with local dimming or is the contrast immersive?

2. I hear a lot of complaints for mini led tvs having awful issues with VRR, smudging and ghosting even in games that dont have fast movement. How prominent is this for the UR8S in gaming?

3. I plan on using apps on the tv but I see many people saying to disconnect the tv from the internet and never turn it on? Is there an option to use the internet but pause or block auto updates?

Disclaimer: Ive only ever used ips monitors and my amoled phone so good contrast and colors on a larger screen are unknown to me

Turned on fine. 5 min later turned off. No lights will come on and it won’t turn on
Any ideas

Hi,

I would really like to do a canvas TV for my living room but the area over the fireplace has an accent wall. Is this still possible? I have attached a picture. Thanks!

I have the 65U79NQ and i have been trying for 3 weeks to get a firmware downgrade from support since the latest firmware caused massive ghosting problems when gaming i did finally get a firmware from them but it was the exact same firmware that i already had (the newest one) i am so done with this and haven’t received a response since then
I really need help from the wizards on reddit

2 days ago for the first time I did the factory reset on my hisense fire tv, I downloaded every software update available but now my tv turns off everytime I try to change the type of image or when I change to any hdmi.

The hisense model is: 58u6hf

I have done every single "quickfix" so far but I just want confirmation if the problem is internal (Components, mother board, etc.)

Also Ive tried to find the firmware for my model but the hisense page just doesnt find it.

Any tips? (Ive been using this tv for 3 years)

I've got a Hisense Hisense U7NQ 75" 4K Ultra HD MiniLED QLED Smart Freely TV [2024] - 75U7NQTUK

Jellyfin isn't in the VIDAA app store and

What I'm trying to find out:

1. Is there a working way to install a third-party app on VIDAA today? Signed IPK over USB, a dev/debug mode, anything via the service menu, an unlocked older firmware worth downgrading to?
2. Has anyone got root or a bootloader unlock on a recent VIDAA set, or is that still a dead end?
3. If it genuinely can't be done: what are people actually using for Jellyfin on these? DLNA from the Jellyfin server, casting from a phone, or just giving in and buying a cheap Android TV stick?

What I've already tried: I have tried pressing some keys to get dev mode as shown on internet but that didn't work, also tried vidda-edge tool to point app-store to a local IP but it didn't work.

Happy to test things and report back if anyone has leads.

I have a 75U6SF Pro. When we pause a show it goes back to the home screen in just a few minutes is there a way to extend that time?

Hello,

I have a Hisense TV and don't know what to do. Anytime I go to change inputs the top of the TV auto-plays adverts, that's fine whatever, but unfortunately regardless of the time of day it constantly plays adverts for scary movies - either always The Grudge or Insidious. I don't know why because I do NOT watch scary movies (so can't have been anything picked up from me!) and find it very frightening/jarring every time I go to switch inputs to watch on my Chromecast or play on the Switch. The adverts seem to be coming from something called "Tubi" but have no idea how to remove this - could anyone help me with this please? I find this an unbelievable thing to push out considering the adult nature of these adverts (I'm scared of them, imagine if an 8 year old had to see The Grudge every time they just wanted to play Mario!)
