Hisense TV

[wira]

Aiya don't think got company will leave the box outside unless you have given them written approval or you have security camera. No company will risk a $1000 tv being knocked over by someone because of a $30 delivery fee.

So either they deliver again or they charge a $30 re-delivery fee imo.

ok thanks.
first time buying TV from Shopee so not sure what will be the experience.

My tv just delivered.
I’m trying to do cast from iPhone to tv but seem unable to do.
Any kind souls able to assist?

Must wait for apple airplay update. Some models like A6H already have it according to the agent.

Alright guess this function doesn’t work yet. Lucky I got box to supersede it.

Just bought a PRISM 65AL oled. So from a back to back comparison. Hisense wins hands down for power up and switch from tv to YouTube or Netflix. VIDAA is not as bad as I first imagined vs android box. Colour textures wise. Wife prefers Hisense over prism oled 65AL.

My personal review of Hisense 65u8h (vidaa version) after using it for 1 month+

1) vidaa os is very fast. of course feature wise it loses out to google/android os but the speed of loading up and switching screens is a positive. If you use Samsung phones like me, you can use Smartview to simply cast your phone direct to the TV (don't even care about no chromecast support at this point lol). I can also stream videos direct from my PC through content sharing mode (with subtitles on and everything).
2) bright scenes hisense wins hands down, the lg demo where the 2 parachuters face each other in bright daylight looks so realistic, I thought I was there with them.
3) black scenes are also very impressive. It is not oled perfect and in very contrasting hdr scenes you can see very slight blooming, but for the average viewer it is really not noticable. Also, certain black scenes you can see black levels being crushed - so that's a negative there. I have also observed occasionally certain HDR modes will jerk for a split second or so. I can't confirm what it is due to but I read online it's likely due to hisense cpu not being exactly that strong.
4) recommended settings to use - cinema night/filmmaker mode in SDR mode and HDR night/filmmaker modes for HDR (use warm2 or standard temperature). Turn off light sensor mode and lower backlight level to below 50 (mine is set to 25) or if you like it on (I find it too dim for most scenes), add +10 to auto backlight level. Also change color gamut to Auto instead of Native in SDR mode - you will wonder why you didn't do it sooner.
5) Turn off all smart scene/adaptive contrast/noise reduction/etc settings if you prefer a purer picture. For Ultra Smoothing, I also turn it off but for certain jerky scenes, turning it on is actually better. The soapy screen effect trade off is pretty much minimal for these cases.
6) I use hisense h219 soundbar and if you don't have a 5.1 setup, change the sound mode to passthrough or PCM instead of Auto, or else the sound will be too soft.

Great tips and review bro! Awaiting my U8H to arrive and will definitely try your settings! Cheers

There's no black level setting in vidaa os. Maybe you saw another setting

Its in the settings I saw which found it funny that was grey out.

U8h

I think its the back light level you saw. And it's greyed out because auto light sensor mode is on.

 

[petetherock]

Is there some kind of manual provided?

Perhaps the local U8H vs an essentially LG A1?

Can download the manual. There's a button there.

LG a1 is OLED so should compare against Hisense OLED

[R6exR6]

Nah. LG A1 is only a dim, less-colorful 60Hz panel (same as PRISM+ AL) while the Hisense A85H is a brighter, more colorful 120Hz panel. B2 is a more comparable (& slightly superior) model to the A85H (with weaker processor). Both have 2 x HDMI 2.1 ports for 4K120 visuals while the C2 has 4 x HDMI 2.1 ports on an even brighter OLED evo panel with better gradient handling. Our U8H will definitely be more colorful and brighter than the A85H, albeit worse contrast/blacks/blooming/motion-blur.

In short, C2 > B2 > A85H > A1.

Nice! Would not have expected someone to prefer a non oled to oled. There aren't any international reviews of prism oled models i can find.. are they really not good?

Ok.. the MiniLED is 75inch while the PRISM OLED is 65.

The Thing about the PRISM OLED is, it is not as soothing to the eyes as the 75" Hisense. Not sure why.

If u don't do it back-to-back comparison, u won't miss a thing.
