They repackage and add Dolby vision?

Nothing so exciting about Dolby vision when your brightness is low and local dimming zones are too few.

True la. Haha.. but how they get certification without upping the brightness?

It gets certified, just like many entry level products from different TV makers, get to be called supporting HDR.

But I don't see any entry level for certified for Dolby Vision. So this is sign to come that certification of Dolby Vision means nothing

It is because HDR is just a claim, manufacturers pays nobody and does not cost any money. Dolby Vision has to pay. Hisense has probably gotten a good deal due to their products in US, so they may have gotten license to use Dolby Vision on world wide basis cheap.

My guess.

You are right

Hisense to set up Thai factory

And look at thailand website for the models of Hisense TV available compared to Malaysia, it is more !

https://www.hisense.co.th/products/overview/tv

These models are not found in Malaysia.

B8000 specs:
CONTRAST RATIO:4000:1
BRIGHTNESS(CD/M2):440
RESPONSE TIME(MS):8

I figured that B8000 would be a decent mid range spec tv. Brightness 440, peak could be higher. Dimming zones also more. Problem is not found in Malaysia.

reply from hisense, B7700 has 440nits too.

If got 440 nits, not bad. But why so secretive ?

Its pretty average but not bad. I dont think they are being secretive.. is just that the marketing team didnt do their job.. or they think its nothing to shout about unless the tv can do over 1000nits.

If not mistaken Samsung Ru8000 is roughly same value of brightness and it is a few thousands more expensive.

If they want to keep it secret, no problem. Only worry if Hisense people simply tembak or plug the figure from the air.

You are comparing with the worst example Samsung can do .
Numerous cheaper TV out there can reach 400 nits including Sony's X700F , UK7500 , Samsung's Q60R just to mention a few.



Whether if it is 300 or 400 nits will not make a difference , they still don't nearly have enough brightness to project higher dynamic range than a traditional LCD monitor.

The calibration sheets linked above looks really terrible out of the box btw .
Even under the most accurate Cinema modes they have strayed so far away from the standard 6500K .

The DCI-P3 color coverage is pretty poor and has not reach the 90% demanded by HD Alliance to be considered as HDR TV despite being advertised as WCG.
Colors reproductions errors are also exceptionally high , but that is to be expected from most Chinese brands . Although they do have a CMS and 20 points settings for White balance if you plan to calibrate the TV.

Reminded me of a time during world cup event from last year , I walked into the shop and being surrounded by the World Cup sponsor's TV where all the soccer field looks yellow instead of light green.
