Hisense 43-Inch Class A6 Series 4K UHD Smart Google TV with Alexa Compatibility Dolby Vision HDR DTS Virtual

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. Read more

A quick review: TV arrived in perfect shape. Packed very nicely in heavy duty box with thick foam and several plastic straps around it- I appreciate the straps because they are great to secure the package shut and help to grab the box to move it around. TV was really super easy to set up and it was not to heavy for one person to move around for setup- ( I'm 62 and I put it on a wall mount by myself ) - it's not cheap feeling light weight but it feels solid and quality. The remote is nice and set up well so it's easy to use and not overly complicated-A+! The picture quality is truly wonderful...rich and crystal clear - A+. I live in a rural area and only use an antenna ( plus screen cast from my laptop ) and even with just an indoor antenna the reception is fantastic and the picture quality crisp and beautiful. I am super pleased with my TV and would recommend it without hesitation. Read more

This 43" version is our first excursion into the world of Smart TV's. This puppy is feather light, took longer to unbox than to set itself up to the internet. Picture, compared to even our old high end plasma, is amazingly clear and sharp. We got it as a bedroom TV and are using it through WIFI and it's cable free. Inexpensive indoor amplified antennae is pulling 50+ channels and it's actually facing away from most of the towers. Apps work just fine and we have the welcome screen set to App Mode. So far we have tried it w/ a single USB3 Stick, an External USB3 Hard Drive and a 4 Port USB3. Worked just fine. We did though add the VLC Movie Player App as I prefer it to the onboard Media Player. The only glitch we have had was that the screen failed to boot up the next time after I accidentally pulled one of the USB's while the TV was still turned on. I simply turned it off, unplugged both ends of the power cord, waited 30 seconds, reattached and powered it up. Worked just fine! We haven't even begun to touch all the features! Read more

I watched video after video of unboxing of this TV on Youtube.com. Without fail each person would remove the large sheet of protective plastic off the screen. My TV came with no such protective plastic. Just a roll of packing tape around the outside edges holding the marketing materials in place. Makes me think it's a return sold to me as new. Not good. As far as the TV goes, it's nice. Has a great picture, some great features. The Google TV setup is really invasive as far as privacy is concerned. It asks for Google account sign to setup the TV then will show every channel you are subbed to on Youtube.com. There's more but if you are concerned about privacy you've been warned. The good thing is the TV offers two setups, one for Google TV or just basic. Basic will allow no privacy issues and you can use it like most TVs with cable, blueray players, or gaming system or even over the air antenna. You can connect to the internet with either wifi or ethernet connection. I setup as Google TV at first. But the home screen shoves "buy this " in your face over letting you see your favorites apps first. Since I have a Roku player I just set up the TV again as basic and used that. Some functions I liked though are the reset button on the back. It allows you to reset to factory settings and the choose Google TV or basic setup. If you're unhappy with your choice, just reset and set up it again. The other thing some were saying the there is a button for Menu at the bottom of the TV and their TV didn't have it. I thought so on my as well. Looked everywhere and there was nothing but a red light plastic thing that does nothing. Well the menu button is actually behind that. Strange place for it and hard to find but it's there is remote batteries go back. Also Hisense TVs do not come with 4k activated. You have change settings in the HDMI settings to advance format. This is under menu on remote not settings. Overall a nice TV but the Google TV is just too much and cluttered. Prefer my Roku which plays well with this TV. I give this 4 stars as I think I was sent a return or used one. Read more
