Customer Review

Today - after five days - the Hisense has finally been delivered. Since this was done by freight carrier, the packaging is absolutely fine - with a parcel delivery service I would, however, had doubts.

Unpacking. Feet, as already mentioned several times - not silver but black. On the packaging several features are listed - only 200Hz not SMR !? Strangely still - on the Italian Hisense website (the only one on which it is listed at all!) Are displayed feet black and there is actually that this device only works with 100Hz SMR !!
After calling the German Hotline I have received a data sheet on the turn 200Hz SMR are noted. The feet are here but again silver !? Strange also that on de carton nothing is - with all the other features advertised big ...

Next, the material quality and processing go at the current price at Amazon (279.99) fine. The MSRP of 599.- allegedly would be extremely unrealistic and grossly overpriced! The design is simple and straight forward, his feet seem quite stable. Highlight is the equipment (Tripple Tuner, Media Player for a variety of formats, PVR, etc.) as well as the connection options. The remote control is adequate for the price, but offers many buttons for direct access to many functions.

The picture is terrible on delivery! Noise Reduction should be "off", the colors are strong withdrawn (to about 26) and also very important that the very strong Overscan is turned off, because this degrades the image quality very!
I noticed is that when I had my PC via HDMI connected to the Hisense. All around was missing a large edge area of ​​the desktop and the image looked fuzzy. After I turned on the precise control, the desktop has been shown to be 100% - and the really sharp! This adjustment must be made individually for each input and also called partly different.
If you have now set up the settings extent, you will be rewarded with a very good image.
Unfortunatley my unit two black dots, but were no dead pixels! Probably dirt particles. The device is still switched.
Also strange is the EPG, which is multilingual. All settings of the device are set to "German", but the EPG is entitled "Guía de PROGRAMAS" and the navigation buttons are partially partially described in German, in English. Perhaps there is in this respect still a firmware update.
That was my impression after a few hours with the device. Overall very good for the price but - if the image error the next time unit are gone.

As a computer monitor, it is by the way also the force!

Supplement 28.07.2014
Today the replacement unit was delivered - and normally by DHL. Packaging perfectly fine and the picture now without errors!

Supplement 30.07.2014
The first unit had a black spot in the picture. The did not have the replacement device. But it has been found that it has greenish-yellow flickering vertical bars that aind sometimes more, sometimes less available. Sometimes they are completely gone - very often but when a menu is displayed on the picture! But besides that, they are often present. This effect occurs but only after some maturity. Possibly a thermal problem !? Too bad anyway and the "trust" in the brand Hisense wanes noticeably ...
Images for this purpose would be released soon.

Supplement 04.08.2014
The third device was delivered, making the extent a very good impression !! I hope it stays there. Am very satisfied. Because of the two defective devices I admit now but "only" 3 stars. Had already been the first properly, I would have awarded 5 stars! The service offered by Amazon deserves this definitely !!

Supplement 03.01.2015
Meanwhile, the third unit is faulty !! Initially, the volume has been continuously raised as if by magic - I assume, however, that here there is no supernatural phenomenon. Here also the IR LED flashing receiver. Currently, it is so that this LED flashes very often - as if an Ir signal is received - but the volume remains the same. But if you want choose, for example, in the program overview to another program or to change the image settings, you fly out again with flashing LED from the menu. The device has been in different rooms throughout the day and also tested at night - always the same behavior. Foreign exposure can be excluded.
The next return and another star deduction ...
