Best TV bang for the buck!
It's amazing how much TVs have improved across the board over the past 5 years. This is especially true of budget TVs because many of the features that were only found in upper level, premium units such as Dolby vision, HDR and dts sound have migrated down to their cheaper siblings. After a ton of research, I purchased the 50 inch Hisense R6 and mounted it to my bedroom wall. When it comes to performance, I have zero regrets. Sure, it's not as vibrant as my 65 inch OLED that I have in my family room, or loaded with features such as Filmmaker mode and Bluetooth, but it's a huge improvement over the 43 inch plasma TV it replaced. With a bit of tweaking, I was able to get the color adjusted to my preference. Now I understand that everyone is different, but the following adjustments is what I found to be the best for me: TV brightness: Brighter Picture mode: Standard Under "Customized picture" Backlight: 100 Brightness: 55 Contrast: 100 Sharpness: 10 Color: 40 Tint: -5 Under "Expert settings: Dynamic contrast: off Noise reduction: Low Color temperature: Normal Auto setting: Standard Gamma correction: 2.2 Under sound mode: Theater Be aware that HDR content has to be separately adjusted... Again, keep in mind these are the adjustments that work best for me. I would encourage you to experiment with tweaking the TV because you will most likely not be satisfied with the default settings that come out of the box... You'll notice that I have not taken the time to comment on the specs of the TV because that type of information can easily be found online and YouTube. Suffice to say that a better TV for the money just doesn't exist - at least for the time being. The Hisense R6 is well built, the baked in Roku operating system is fantastic and the asking price is remarkable. Can you get a better TV if you're willing to pay a lot more? Of course, but I think that vast majority who buy the Hisense R6 are going to be perfectly satisfied with the video quality of this TV. One last thing as a side note, if your TV (or anything else you buy on Amazon for that matter) is delivered damaged, get in touch with Amazon who will most likely replace it - Nothing is more annoying than to see somebody post a 1 star review for a delivery/shipment situation that has absolutely NOTHING directly to do with a product or its performance. Just saying! Read more
