But we come to the Hisense LTDN58XT880:
GANZ wichitg!
The evaluation is based on installing the update E0104, which will be displayed in the TV, but due to server problems can not be downloaded.
A call to Hisense Germany but was enough to get a link, which makes the update to download and subsequent installation of a USB flash drive available.
Before the update I wanted to return the TV again, now he gets a chance 2.te.
For sharpness, scaling and homogeneity of the image have been greatly improved by the update. What is more HBBTV and the Youtube app.
It's just extremely stupid, that the customer must be active themselves in order to get the most out of the TV can.
Before buying the TV's you should always ask the question, what has actually for an application profile for the TV.
For me it is: 50% TV, 25% and 25% Bluray Video Games
Because as a computer monitor for 4K resolutions I can not recommend the TV! Reason: In the 4K mode the processing time of the image is just too long. I tested it with my Blu-ray player, which dominates itself 4K Upscaling and transmits the image as a 2160p picture with 24Hz over HDMI 1.4 to HDMI 1 or HDMI 2.
Alone the selection menu of the film then with the TV for a little patience. It is delaying everything.
Thus also the gamble on the PC is not really possible. Play movies is not a problem because the picture and sound still run synchronously.
3D mode:
Mhmmm ..... since I've been spoiled by my passive TV yet. Despite half the horizontal resolution for passive 3D I liked the 3D function on my old TV better. Why?
First of all the glasses. Yes, they are light and barely distinguishable from the passive glasses, but ... for the normal nose of a full-grown man the recess for the nose is just too tight. With no prior Bille has ever been so. Well, I have now ordered 2 more and I'm going to prove my technical skills and the nose receiving "auffeilen. And no, it's not a boxer nose" which was 100 times broken.
Next disadvantage of active glasses, they flicker. Sure, that's the art owed but you should be aware. Straight-saving lamps in the form of fluorescent lamps flicker greatly when viewed through the glasses. Who annoys, which is not so lucky and have to buy a TV passive.
The huge advantage of active 3D is indeed a known to be a super sharp 1080p full screen .... unfortunately messes up the TV here.
The internal scaling to 4k, which always makes the TV, does not interfere in 3D. Which means that individual pixels are virtually quadrupled stupid to still fill the whole screen. If you get closer than 1.5 meters to the TV, the picture looks like a mosaic. From further back it is hardly noticeable yet, but there are still aliasing effects can be seen at the edges. A completely calm, crystal clear image as if on a 1080p Full HD Active 3D TV is a so do not offer.
That this is not noticed anyone in all the reviews I am surprised really.
Topic Ghosting: Yes, it is easily available. Too Bad. But it does not stand out as much. My old Passive 3D TV had no ghosting.
Also the TV has a bug. When migrating to 3D, the interframe calculation is disabled and the picture is running without the soap effect. Only a changeover from "high" (which does not work at the moment, but is still selected) to a different value and then back to "High" makes sure that the picture again "liquid" runs in 3D.
At this point: Please rework Hisense!
You have to get it first. Thought the TV could not 3D and "soap effect" together. But is not so. It goes anyway.
Interframe calculation:
I do not know how it is, exactly, each manufacturer has since its own name.
I always used the "High" setting. I just like the "soap effect".
Can not understand a lot, but is so.
But I have to say clearly ... Yes, jerky picture. Point. There are always sequences in which it jerky at TV program and increased short. But has become better after the update. It is not a KO criterion but you can see it. Had the old TV as well, though not as strong.
Important! In Blurays it is not jerky, while the 24Hz setter is issued. Is it jerky even with Blurays. Something's not right so the TV.
Native 24Hz without interframe calculation I have not yet tested. But can I make on request.
Video Games:
I companies a PS4, Xbox One and Xbox 360 at the TV.
As normalo player completely ok. Useless as a professional e-sports. All depends on it, how ambitious you are.
There is an input lag present. How strong is ... I can not say exactly mhmmm. But you can play a pinball game without the ball rolls past his Bumper because you to click the moment "you're missing. But you can see the slight lag click between" and perform the action ". But not so that you can not could play normal.
The Motion Smoothing "goes well without any lag, as long as the source frame rate is stable.
Ie: Killzone Shadow Fall jerky without frame lock. But if after the patch the game Lockbar to 30 frames and then inflated by the TV on a stable 60 frames. Looks good.
The sharpness of the image is also good. Sure, you can always see the 1080p sources are extrapolated and the edge sharpness can not offer a native 1080p panel Paroli. But that is due to the technology. The lack of image information can not be conjured up "by upscaling.
2D Blurays:
Oh yes ... that's why I still have the TV. They look really good.
The upscaling to 4K from the TV itself works here better than me. The image is quiet and homogeneous. Great black levels and natural color.
Clouding: No With me
Banding: No With me
Sound: Surprisingly. The blows me not from the stool, but for a Slim TV really good. Better than my old TV. In addition, running about 4 HDMI ARC my surround receiver.
Conclusion: One should be aware of some technical events. 1080p signals are always extrapolated and can not be played natively. Who wants a native representation, does not need a 4K TV, as currently no native 4K sources exist. But the TV does, just after the update, a good job in it.
Distance to the screen: You should already min. Sitting 3 feet away from the screen, if you want to watch TV. SD programs see otherwise terrible. The panel can not conjure up fantastic images of the 4K puny data maintenance. Since the SD television pushes simply reached its limits, with such a huge screen.
HD TV looks good, however. Whether 720p of the public law or 1080i from the private sector.
I'm going to the TV after the update as I said still a chance. He that is not the most glaring television techie, will feel right at home with the TV. Quite undemanding I'm not even know, yet the TV to please. Especially at the price.
The size impressed then already.
Addendum: The internal media player can not play 4K media and photos are not displayed in 4K but in hochgerechnetem 1080p.
Questions are welcome in the comments section, I try to go into, as far as possible.
Updated on 14.04.2014:
I have to revise my statement that at 24HZ Blurays jerky in combination with the interframe calculation. It was probably because of my Blu-ray player. Ask for Update also Blurays are with 24Hz playback fluently without stuttering.
In addition, I bought a SEIKI U-Vision 4K upscaling HDMI cable.
This cable counted: 576p and 720p to 1080p high and improves the image noticeably. 1080p signals are only improved and 1080p in 24.25 or 30Hz are extrapolated to 4K.
I have to say that cable was a very good investment. It took no 60Euro at Amazon.com incl. Shipping. I have it set between TV and surround receiver, because my receiver is not 4K compatible (Sony DH 730).
The picture is thus really a whole corner better. All sources, whether gaming consoles or Blurays benefit greatly from it. Especially Blurays 4K Upscaling look fantastic, better than the 4K upscaling function of Bluray player (LG BD730).
I can really recommend the cable, provided no 4K Upscaling you own Reciever.
