LCDTVThailand has reviewed the TV last week. They measured the peak brightness of the 55" at 457, a disappointing drop from the U7G, which they measured at 685. The TV reached 95% of the DCI-P3 color space.
According to them, 55" and 65" models have 32 dimming zones. 75" has 48 while 85" has 120; these two sizes are sold in Singapore and only these two.
On the entry level range, Hisense Malaysia have also launched A6100H, A6500H and A7H. Hisense Singapore has launched U6H but only in 55".
In the coming days, maybe Hisense Malaysia will launch the U8H. If they don't, get it from Thailand or Singapore.

Rting is particularly guilty of this as well because that's the first thing to show up in Google's search whenever you type TV reviews .
I have warned people on this more than several occasion .
How the H brand has manipulated their product description , paying reviewers to say ( or not say ) certain things of their TVs. But I guess , people are people . Too stubborn to learn , too much ego to listen so they have to be a deviant and go against facts .
You should look at my inbox , the number of people who are asking me why doesn't their Hxxxxxx TV perform as intended .
They should instead bother every single one of those posters who told you to buy their $2000 Models because it has the same function and cost much less than Sony's . A bit too much of naïveté in the year of 2022 isn't it ?

Well that's interesting. Hisense Malaysia has de-listed the U7H. The link from my first post went 404.
As said before, Hisense SG website has the U7H and U8H listed and so does Hisense Thailand. Hisense SG's official store on ShopeeSG have the 2022 models on sale but Hisense Thailand have not yet listed them.
Don't know if Hisense SEA is having supply issues. Heck even the American market are getting only the U6H. COVID-19 casualty.
So I guess SG is where you can get the U7H and U8H for now.
Nobody in the sane world should buy TV from another country unless you actually know what you are doing ( which you don't , 99.977% of the readers in this forum don't ) Absolutely no one should ever even consider that .
This is particularly true if you consider that Hisense TVs are on average 150%+ heavier than other brands , so good luck paying thousands upon thousands of shipping fees ( and double of that when you ship them back for warranty / repairs ) which cost a lot more than buying a whole new second tier model .
Stop giving crazy advice or suggestion .

Following the launch of Hisense latest premium Hisense ULED TV U7H Series (A6100H), Hisense Malaysia is proud to announce the launch of their brand-new TV series equipped with Hisense’s state-of-the-art ULED technology, Hisense U7H. This series offers two different sizes, 55-inch and 65-inch and priced at RM3,999 as well as RM4,999 respectively.
The first part of the first sentence doesn't make sense, but the main info is the pricing. The Hisense website has yet to be updated, after it removed U7H listing previously, so we'll see when they'll list it back. Spec wise, it should be the same as the one listed by LCDTV Thailand.
A review in English from South African Youtuber about the South African/international version of the U7H.
He also reviewed the U8H, which is obviously the better model.
I don't think we'll see the U8H. Hisense Malaysia doesn't want to compete with the name brands at that price point, even though it's a very bright mini LED TV.

Hisense U7G sold in Malaysia does not come with Google TV right?
No, and neither is the U7H. You need to allocate about RM210 for a Netflix-certified, Dolby Vision enabled, Android box if you want to use Android apps, like Disney+ Hotstar.

Can you recommend me a 55" TV within the budget of RM4000?
I'm currently choosing between Sony A85k and Hisense U7G.
On paper it looks like U7G is mile better than Sony's, but it does not come with Google TV.
No, and neither is the U7H. You need to allocate about RM210 for a Netflix-certified, Dolby Vision enabled, Android box if you want to use Android apps, like Disney+ Hotstar.

Last I checked, Sony's 55" A80K is RM7,800.
I placed an advanced pre-order with the retail shop for U7H and the listing on the receipt was: Hisense ULED 65U7H (2022 GOOGLE)
very much confused with this as the website stated Vida, but seems like the salesperson cannot explain it either or have no clue.
Anyway already have the latest AppleTV 4k so GoogleTV or Vida doesn’t matter to me anyway

hi, With the hisense 65" U7H price at Rm3799 and the toshiba Z770 at rm4999, which one will you advise to buy if i plan to keep the budget under rm5000? Thanks

Strictly on price, U7H.
However, the Z770 has more dimming zones and it is also brighter, by about 300 nits at 10% I think, according to some reviews.
Both have 2 HDMI 2.1 ports and both are 120 Hz 8-bit panels, I believe. The Z770 is a VA panel, I think.
But if RM5,000 is your ceiling, you might want to raise it up a bit and wait for TCL C835. That's a mini LED TV that's gotten good reviews with its better performance.

Are you sure on the 8 bit for z770? YouTube review from Taiwan shows that it’s 10 bit, with more than 1000 nits, but model is slightly different z770kt. He’s saying it’s better than x90j too.
Technically, that's overpriced by RM80. Hisense is currently have it under promo for RM2,899 for 55". However, if they have them in stock and could deliver within 10 days, that's the price you have to pay.
Right now the U7H availability is quite limited. Hisense Malaysia should have been given the Singapore stock since they have the U8H stocked up and nobody there would probably buy the U7H.

at a similar price, is there any other TV that has local warranty, HDMI 2.1, 4k 120hz, FALD in Malaysia?
Not that I know of.
I wonder if there are display units at electrical stores.
Got my U7H yesterday and amazed by the picture quality. FALD seems to be working well, also there seems to be two HDMI 2.1 port with one support for eArc

Do you mind sharing if there's any application available in Vidaa OS where we can cast video from a website to the screen?

Glad your experience is positive so far.
What size and price did you pay for it? If you have a PC/PS5, I wonder if 1440p is supported for gaming.
1) You have to set the TV at the correct eye level. Otherwise, it'll appear "cloudy" when it comes to text/objects and black BG.
2) 600 nits doesn't sound a lot. But in a darkened room, it's really bright.
3) PS5 does detect ALLM, VRR and 120 Hz on HDMI 3 and 4. You have to enable HDMI to Enhanced HDMI before it can do that. Use the HDMI cable that came with the PS5.

1) What cause this problem? I thought IPS is sharp and less susceptible to eye level? Only VA must be viewed dead on and U7H is not VA but U7H is IPS. 2) But still very low because Dolby Vision needs 1000nits 3) Does it do 120Hz over Dolby Vision?
1) What cause this problem? I thought IPS is sharp and less susceptible to eye level? Only VA must be viewed dead on and U7H is not VA but U7H is IPS.
It's not about the picture not looking sharp. Because the local dimming zones are not high (32 zones), off axis viewing will look "cloudy" when you have text and black BG. Only in this condition. If you have a normal scene with some specular highlight details, you won't notice this.
This "cloudiness" is noticeable only when your eye is above, and probably below, the horizontal center line of the TV. If your eyeline is correct, the picture is great.

Actually, Dolby Vision content have been encoded beyond 1000 nits. Most often, those are specular highlight details. But because of tone mapping, TVs with light levels below this can handle DV content. Unlike HDR10, DV can encode HDR metadata not just on scene by scene level but frame by frame.

I don't think so. PS5 only allows HDR at the moment.

Just wondering if Toshiba Z770 so good, why people still opt for Hisense asides from cheaper by RM1k? Did I miss something ?

The Z770 came out in December 2021 at RM5,999. At that time, you could get a X90J for a bit cheaper. So it got ignored.
Now you can buy the Z770 at slightly below RM5,000 while the X90J still about held its price. So if you're a Sony fan, you stick to the X90J. If your budget is max RM5,000, you go for the Z770. If your budget is below RM4,000, then go for the U7H.
The budget always determine the purchase decision.
Need your opinion. I have 3 months old X90J (screen broken). Got quoted from Sony it will cost Rm2.1k to replace the screen. Should I repair or buy U7H instead?
Saw Samsung Q65B 65inch selling in senq for 4500. Is this TV good? Salesman say qled better than crystal uhd. tbh, I cannot see any diff. BU8500 65inch vs Q65B 65inch is rm900 difference. Should I get the qled version?

To me eyes q65b is no better than sony x70k, let alone x80k which can be bought for 3.8k.

Sony quality hit and miss. And the speakers sounds weird. Macam got hollow sound. And also the thickness is very thick.
Samsung on the other hand is very slim and modern. Adds to the whole living room aesthetics. But heard people say samsung tv cannot watch disney hotstar. Not sure true or not.
I'm planning to get the U7H 55 inch. But can anyone confirm if it is neflix dolby atmos and dolby vision certified?
The U7H does both Vision and Atmos.
QUOTE(irwan6179 @ Oct 12 2022, 04:00 PM)
It has Dolby vision if based on the new FOMO review.
FOMO is a US reviewer. The Hisense models available for them are different from what the International and Chinese markets get.
But U7H and U7G for all markets have Dolby Vision and Atmos.

Sorry for your loss.
If the idea is get a new TV with a 3-year warranty or a new screen with 6 months warranty, I'd say a new TV. But you're comparing two different price points and TV specs. Assuming the mobo on the Sony is still working fine, I'd say get the replacement screen for the VA 120 Hz panel and the Google TV interface. Also assuming that we're talking about a 65" TV.
If you're replacing a TV or didn't have one to begin with and your max budget is RM4,000, then I'd say the 65" U7H.
QUOTE(LiSheng95 @ Oct 13 2022, 11:20 AM)
anyone know which offline store do display u7h? went to a couple of stores and they are only showing the a series
Harvey Norman seems to have them all over.
Also, since Hisense is currently having their promo until the end of October where the price is fixed at RM3,800 for the 65", better get the U7H through retail stores rather than online. Remember that you're getting a 3-year warranty through retail stores than online merchants.
If you buy through Aeon, you get RM10 gift vouchers for every RM250 spent I think. Could be wrong.
Tu la kan.. pelik gak bcs that is wat service ppl imform when they deliver new (replacement) tv hari tu..
BTW, thanks for answers~
to clarify... will follow ori purchase... so if 3 yrs warranty... and every year kong... you get new TVs for the 3 yrs lor if they can't repair... hahaha

How you know it's not same as US? Both also IPS panel right?
based on rtings, i believe is considered US right? it is VA panel ya. and also, their 55inch got 75zone, 65 got 90zone. Malaysia one is 32zone only and IPS. so seems like it diff la.

z770 price is 1.2k more than u7h lol. now thinking 65inch or 55inch.
From what I know 65" FALD under RM4,000, that's U7H (120Hz) followed by the M550LP (60Hz). Then under RM3,000 it's the same - 55" U7H and then the M550LP.

Below RM5,000, it's the Z770.
yeah seems like if on budget, either U7H or M550LP for 65inch. i think u7h better because brightness around 700nits? probably this weekend go sit at living room see 55inch ok or not lol. i think 1080p screen should be okay for 55inch, maybe 4k because finer details, bigger screen better.
No brainer x90k/x90j. Our u7h here is crippled version. Not worth to think of. This hisense is really sohai one. Selling thing alang alang. Dunno y our market they sell lousy spec but same name. They tot us sohai eh this fking chink company.
From where should one purchase Hisense in KL is it only sold in HarveyNorman?
Buying online gives you only two-year warranty. When the price for in-store purchase is the about the same, go for in-store with its three-year warranty.
QUOTE
what is your view between SONY XR TV like X90J versus Hisense U7H?
If you have the money, Sony. If you don't, work with your budget and screen size.
U7H will beat X80K in every way lol. They are similar priced T 3.8k bracket but U7H has 120Hz, FALD and more.
And I have no confidence in SonyTV anymore since my previous SonyTV developed a horizontal line on the display after 4 years.
sure or not? if u see the u7h FALD implementation is so weak for asian market one. the sony triluminous color is so much better presentation lo. i dunno la, maybe need compare side by side but hard to find place got both together.
Are you asking on the sony tv? Mid range it cost 3k plus for the Sony tv. Simple google search will bring you tons of people who experience the same thing, and since I’m out of warranty, repairs cost a lot .
I wanted to buy the x85 actually with the reviews of forumers here but decided otherwise cause of this experience.

I owned the 65U7H and before this in the past it is a Sony TV.
I was shopping for tv when the Sony went kaput, and have seen the Sony X90, X85 and x80 in the shops and I wouldn’t even consider the x80 at all after seeing all three, min is at least x85, but the price is the huge factor here.
So far I’m happy with my purchase on Hisense U7H. Yes the US model is abit different but there’s a lot reviews on similar models to ours or our local Malaysia model on YouTube

How would the Hisense U7H fare against the older Xiaomi Q1 75" 4K QLED VA panel? My concern is more on the black levels, colours and brightness/reflections as my tv will be put next to the window lol.

I don’t really know though, I would have considered that if I have a big living room, but 75 inch is way too huge for my condo unit

U7H in malaysia is not VA panel, contrast ratio would be low.
somehow you can't trust most of the toshiba/hisense tv reviews online. saw one from Thailand stating M550LP is better than U7H, end up their M550LP is using VA panel, the one in Malaysia is using IPS. at the same time, M550LP is being bashed in India's online review. they should have used different model names to avoid confusion.
couldn't decide and bought 65x85k myself last week for 3499.

Woah how did you get such cheap deal? Friend bought 65 inch 85k for 4.5k lol, 1k more than you
Onking 11.11 sales. Too bad they didn't include x90k in their sales.
I also bought a Hisense TV from them 2 years ago. Sometimes when they do online sales, it's really cheap without the need to grab voucher or bonus like on Lazada. Just bought a fridge from them on 11.11 as well.
What I like about them is they don't charge any shipping or installation fees. Their staffs are also good attitude. Now I always check and compare with onking whenever I want to buy appliances. Even though ppl kept telling me desa home is good (less than 1km away as well), I'm just too lazy to haggle price with them. I did though bought a X90J from them last 12.12 on lazada because it's really cheap after bonus and voucher.

only problem with desa home is the parking. the basement parking very dark sometimes no light
You can choose to park outside. Not sure if need to pay parking. That parking open after mrt launched.
yes park outside in front but u can get saman. or u can park behind outside. but buses go there and its quite full. i also live near there maybe 15mins drive

Not funny how there's still some inequities in terms of products available for Malaysians in Sabah and Sarawak. Hope you can find a seller that order one for you.
On a related topic, the 65" U7H can be found on Shopee now for RM3,449.

Btw, between Sony 55" X85K and Hisense 65" U7H, which would you pick?

U7H doesn’t look washed out to me, 8 bit + frc mimics 10 bit anyway so colors on U7H is pretty good.
I do feel maybe Sony has a slight better picture processor but then their better processor is in their X90 series anyway.

I would buy this TV if it comes with GoogleTV instead of Hisense own OS.
Btw, between Sony 55" X85K and Hisense 65" U7H, which would you pick?
Yeah but the OS itself does come with Netflix all those already although I’m using Apple TV 4K hooked to it.
Bigger is better IMO so 65” U7H if you are looking to spend below 4k for a 65” tv with FALD, 120HZ, VRR etc

Hmm since im using streaming apps eg Netflix, some of the contents I watched is in Dolby vision which is pretty good. My AppleTV is set to output in Dolby Vision anyway.

1 year less warranty too if you buy online for hisense.

On Shopee, one seller is selling the 65" for RM3,500. Shopee allows you to buy an extended warranty on this product from this seller for RM85; 2 years from Hisense and then the extended warranty kicks in.

So for RM3,600, it is still a good buy.
manufacturer warranty is not really the same as insurance company's extended warranty.

I’d say this too before I bought chromecast with remote. My Sony 2017 model comes with built in Netflix but after a few years it’s become sluggish as hell. With the remote CC, everything went smooth, controlling is great and you get android TV. The bluetooth remote alone is a magnitude faster than a normal IR remote. The same experience I heard from those with Apple TV.
My point is, not having built in android tv is not a deal breaker. It’s a blessing in disguise as you now have a great excuse to get better experience with external hardware. These devices can last longer with a more frequent software updates compared to built in.
Im planning to buy 65A6100H. got a great deal at shopee for RM2100. anyone here have bought it before? can anyone give a thought on this tv?should i go for it?thank you.
edit: mainly i want to use it to watch movies from external hdd. so android is not a big deal for me.
i just want to know about the endurance of this tv. will there be any hardware issues in the long run?

Nobody knows. Electronics fail regardless of brand. Some parts die faster than others obviously. Since none of us are time travelers from the future who happens to down a 65A6100H, you just have to roll the dice.
If you have the funds and still want a 65", the Toshiba M550LP can be had for RM3,200. Better specs overall than the A6100H.

well, you dont have to be sarcasm just because you cant answer a question properly with respect. you dont have to be a time traveller to misspelled the word "own" with "down".you see, if i know you are a time traveller, i should have known you would have corrected your spelling. hence you are not. nobody's here are. no one ask questions with the hope that someone from future will answer them for you. even @AVFAN(a very good and respectful lad) is not from the future 😅. if that make sense.
i know M550LP has better spec; FALD, QLED, VA(arguably for malaysian spec), but does A6100H make the cut for the price tag? thank you.

What do you guys think of the picture quality especially black levels between the Toshiba M550LP vs TCL C635 series which has VA and QLED too? Both around the same price as well.
The specs sheet of the TCL C635 says it has micro dimming and no local dimming? Which is better... micro dimming or FALD?

I wasn't being sarcastic. That's the facts with regards to electronic products that have incremental iterations every year. "Endurance" is an unknowable data for them. Unlike a kitchen mixer or an electronic oven. The Panasonic MX AC400 is an excellent buy for Malaysians, for example; high quality, powerful and durable.

Never seen C635 in stores.
Micro dimming is not dimming; it's reducing the brightness of other areas while maintaining the highlights in others because the backlight can't be controlled. M550LP and the U7H's local dimming are pretty good for the price range. Just for watching movies, M550LP is a good bet.
QUOTE(WhatMan @ Jan 27 2023, 01:19 PM)
Would it it be fair to say Hisense quality is equal or more less same like Skyworth or Caixun?
I think the low-end range of Hisense is on-par with Skyworth. This is how every company targets the market and get their share. If you're confident with the brand, go for it.

How u know is VA panel? It wasnt mentioned anywhere, only say is QLED.
I'm in dilemma to get a 65" tv but now aiming for TCL C635 65" as it has VA, QLED. But not sure how good is the "micro dimming".
most likely c635, havent buy yet cos just got new car so need allocate some money there lol. micro dimming is a gimmick, but based on reviews, it is bright enough so the HDR is still good enough compare like the toshiba m550lp, just tat it cant fight OLED miniLED or high FALD screen. if u can see 1 india review techinbeez something like tat can find at youtube, really bad the quality, because the screen is too dim for HDR, got local dimming also no use, the local dimming makes blooming so prominent. and i think M550LP uses IPS instead VA, not even written at their website, dont know why they don say anything.

Ya I saw the Toshiba review by techinbeez and the brightness is terrible.
How would the Hisense U7H fare against the older Xiaomi Q1 75" 4K QLED VA panel? My concern is more on the black levels, colours and brightness/reflections as my tv will be put next to the window lol.
The Xiaomi Q1 can get around RM5k-ish
I might be late to the party, but I have seen both TVs in store. In my opinion, the U7H surpasses Q1 in terms of visual aspects. The U7H boasts vivid colors, deep blacks, and motion fluidity(at least based on the high fps demo), leaving me super impressed. The Q1, on the other hand, did not make the same impact, except for its sheer size.

Thanks irwan. Where did you see the Hisense U7H? Been trying to look for it.
A bit surprised as the U7H is IPS vs the Q1 which is VA. Both are FALD.
Anyway, I'm hoping Hisense would bring the U8H with mini LED to Malaysia this year as TCL is bringing the mini LED version end of the year.
Someone compiled the differences between Thailand model and US model for local dimming zone
I supposed the Malaysian model will be similar to Thailand?
Offtopic a little: I found that certain models of TVs are relatively cheap in Thailand even after currency conversion after going through that group with the translation feature. Eg, Samsung Q70B is about 2k+ MYR there but it's 4k over here.

U7H in Harvey Norman IPC but way back when they opened big space in front of their shop. But recently I went, I can't find U7H anywhere, even in their store.

I saw the U7H at HN, 1U.
It looks good actually. Just wondering what do I lose out if I use my google chromecast with the TV as I rather run Google TV. Would HDR like Dolby Vision work normally with netflix, etc ?

If the Android box is Widevine Level 1 (L1) device and has Dolby Vision, DV content played from the device will be streamed to the U7H as DV content. So Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+ Hotstar and Apple TV+ will stream DV content and the TV recognizing them.
Here's what I've learned: DV content when played using an Android box will exhibit posterization. Using HDMI input 1) regardless if it's HDMI 2.0 or 2.1 port, 2) with Enhanced option enable, which you must turn on to view 4K content, content from those 4 streaming service will show banding in scenes with gradient objects like clouds, sky, walls.
Using my Tivo Stream 4K and FireStick 4K Max, DV content is problematic. Using Netflix, Prime Video and Apple TV+ app within VIDAA however, exhibit no posterization of the same content. This is also true when I tried it on a Sony X90J; the X90J also needs to have its HDMI ports to be Enhanced enabled. This is where the Disney+ Hotstar stats feature come in handy. Using the stats feature, you can see if the content is being displayed in 4K DV and eAC3, or not. Posterization does not appear in 1080p DV content, at least on D+.
What's weird is that DV files played using Kodi works well. This is Kodi running on TS4K and FS4KMax.
The built-in media player on the U7H also plays DV content without posterization. It has it's own issues though. 1) It'll only recognize files shared in Windows and your router's USB port, but not in Linux. 2) Content that is in anamorphic is not shown correctly.
So hopefully Hisense will update VIDAA to include Disney+ Hotstar, fix Dolby Vision via the HDMI ports, and fix the Media Player.
Today there is a new firmware update being pushed for the U7H. Update version is V0000.01.00S.M1220. Fixes bugs, apparently. And added Apple AirPlay and Home Kit.
Means nothing for Android users. For people who have iPhones or iPads and don't own an Android box, AirPlay allows you to watch Disney+ albeit without Dolby Vision. Home Kit enables home automation.
Unfortunately the update still doesn't fix Dolby Vision problems with using external Android device and streaming services.
Hi all, been eyeing on 65" U7H but also aware of its with Vidaa OS so can help to confirm if it supports Disney Plus application now? Trying not to get a separate TV box. Thanks!

Hmm didn’t know about the Disney+ issue since my U7H is connected to AppleTV, but never encountered any Dolby vision issue though when plug-in , could be an Android set box problem?
I had to disable the Airplay and HomeKit as it is duplicated from what I had for my AppleTV though

Need opinion from all the sifu's here. Been eyeing for
Hisense U7H TCL C635 Sony X85K
Have been going through all the post in google and most review mention U7H is better than X85K. Anyone can confirm this?
1) The TCL C365 has brightness flickering/shifting issues with Dolby Vision on netflix (have yet to test DV on other sources) and the Google TV navigation is a bit slow. Also, TCL will be launching their mini LED series next month. 2) Which reviews on the Hisense U7H? A lot of them are the US version which is superior to what we are getting here in Msia 3) Pretty sure the Sony X85K will be better than the other 2 TVs with its software prowess - colour reproduction and superior backlight implementation even with lesser zones/etc

If it's out, remember to check it's spec as it will be different for Malaysia version.
Sure. And I've checked the currently available PX1 Pro. Same spec sheet as per our neighbour Singapore. Different specs do occur in other regions though.
Even I wrote to Hisense Malaysia customer support to ask whether they have the latest TV firmware, but they never reply to me at al....
But if you talk about the TV hardware support, then I will give them a 5 stars. If you lodge a report about your Hisense TV problem, the support usually takes either today or tomorrow to contact you, then the the technician will contact you again in a short time to arrange with you to verify the TV problem.

Well on second thought, it's still bad but not that bad, haha.

Haaa...that is why I bought 2 models TV from Hisense due to its after sales support is good! But I won't buy Hisense TV again in the next future due to lack of new firmware support.
HI GUYS, i am considering U7H or Toshiba Z770KP. Asked the official Hisense Malaysia FB isit VA or IPS Panel they reply me with VA but i asked Harvey Norman and some shop on Shopee they reply me with IPS. Not sure who to trust because the U7H MY version is different from the China and US. Very confusing now even google also cant find any information. Then another problem is the Toshiba Z770KP not sure if it has MEMC, didn't stated on any Shopee shop or even the official website. Asked Shopee and FB Official Toshiba TV they reply me with yes. Freaking confusing and headche with this two, Z7770 would definitely be more pros but just only the MEMC was making me to think of buying which TV.

Toshiba TV is also under Hisense right? Hisense has traditionally only support MEMC on 65" and above.

The reason why I won't consider this brand, you don't know what you are paying for.
However if the seller unit is warranty by Hisense official Malaysia then I would believe Hisense official statement.
Actually MEMC is not as good as you might think. I have a 65" Hisense A7400F which support MEMC and at first I thought my GPU having problem when I kept getting artifact when playing anime. Those natural movement like hair being blown by wind kept giving me black frame. So mad that I swapped out GPU etc and still getting the same thing. That was until I google and found out that it was the BFI (black frame insertion) aka MEMC which caused this problem. Turning it to 0 solved everything. For me, it is a hit or miss thing. Some video works better with it, and some works better without it. Even on my more expensive Sony X90J, it is basically the same problem. Whenever I get really bad BFI (black box every now and then), I would just turn it off.

I thought the MEMC make those 24fps movie/drama become 60fps feeling. that's why i prefer getting it. If Hisense MEMC present like this then only can get those expensive brand like SONY and SAMSUNG to get the Motion flow.

MEMC on the U7H works. I don't use it but I did test it to confirm it works. There are two settings in the Picture Mode settings: 1) Ultra Smooth Motion - Smooth, Standard, Clear, Film and Custom (where you can tweak judder and blur reduction independently); and 2) Clear Motion, which can help clean up any artifacts stemming from Ultra Smooth Motion.
Enabling USM at Smooth and CM, 30 fps YouTube video looks 60fps. Not 120fps.
If you want to see this in action, just go to any store that has the U7H on display. The Store Mode for TV is always on so you can judge it yourself without touching the remote.
Between the two, you should go with Toshiba's Z770KP if you have the extra money. More zones, Dolby Vision and Android OS. But of course, by now this is a two-year old TV.
VIDAA still doesn't have Disney+Hotstar for South East Asia even though they've been testing it down in South Africa since last year. So you'd have to get an external device to get your Disney+. I suggest FireTV 4K Max or NVidia Shield Pro. Tivo 4K doesn't do passthrough audio well.
VIDAA does have Netflix, Prime and Apple TV native. However, Apple TV is the "light" version. If you have an Apple account and have bought movies and TV shows, you can't access your content using the one on VIDAA OS. You can watch Apple TV+ content, but not your own. With an external device, you can access your content.
Regardless of any TV you buy, Dolby Vision streaming content played through any external device will exhibit 8-bit banding in gradation scenes. The same content played through the internal app, would exhibit no problem.

It's Okay, just got my 65inch U7H today. The MEMC not as pro as Sony one but still quite good at all. Saw Amazon Firestick on Youtube too, maybe will get that . Overall everything is good if you don't compare to the US version . Only the Final Fantasy 16 disappoint me, cant run 4k 60fps hahaha

Yes, can't compare.
Should have bought the FireStick 4K during the Prime Day sale. If you have a HDMI-connected sound system, you can get the Tivo 4K instead. The FireStick would require you to sideload Disney+Hotstar as it's not available in the native Amazon store.

Software, not hardware. Some PS5 games are in 4K@120 but less detail and no HDR applied.
Obviously not the same as the US version. It's not just Malaysia. It's Hisense USA vs Hisense International. Go with TCL if you're concerned.
Looking from the picture (focus on the TV stand shape and location) available in Hisense USA web page, apparently we are getting the same version as USA this time indeed.

good to know , im glad that your tv still in warranty
In Malaysia is Hisense U7K using Google TV or their own custom Vidaa OS? So far are there any downsides to using Vidaa OS as opposed to Google TV?
You don't get a lot of streaming apps on VIDAA. So invest in a Firestick 4K Max, an NVidia Shield, or whichever Netflix-certified 4K streaming device.
The main thing for Malaysian users is no Disney+ Hotstar app on VIDAA. The UK has one but they are not a Hotstar app, hense availability. So if you really want to watch it, get a separate player.
The Apple TV+ app on VIDAA is the lite version. It only streams content from Apple TV+, not content that you already own on iTunes. However if you use an iOS device, you can use AirPlay 2. Enable it on the TV and use the Apple TV+ app on your device to cast it to the TV.
Netflix and Prime Video works fine with no restrictions.
The above is true of VIDAA 6. U7K might have VIDAA 7 with better app integration.
Full Array Local Dimming (FALD) is not equal to Mini LED.
Example : Sony X90L (FALD) is not mini LED but X95L is.
i know that. didnt u see what im trying to say. it isnt about the FALD or not. it is about our U6k pro is diff from what was advertised by singapore. and from that sense, u6k is better because got FALD and u6k pro no FALD. seems like TCL owes do fishy stuff similar hisense. model same but spec diff across the globe.

I hear you.
Apparently, Hisense Singapore bring in U6K Google TV version (S$979.00 - S$1,409.00) & U6K Pro (S$1,619.00 - S$2,199.00). Pro version is slightly more expensive that Google TV version.
While, Hisense Malaysia only bring in the U6K (non-Pro) VIDAA version but not Google TV version.
The confusion or frustration you have was apparently Hisense Malaysia fu** up (again) in the Pre-order advertising campaign in their official website earlier on.
If I will to compare prices between Singapore vs Malaysia, what Hisense Malaysia is selling definitely the U6K but in VIDAA version. But one thing I still can't figure it out is why Malaysia's U6K not the Google TV version but VIDAA?

apparently they are selling the google version at "Pro" version lol. it does mentioned that u6k/pro do have FALD tho. which i think is not too bad, should have good HDR performance. but u7h also have FALD, but quite bad according to review.

My hisense u7g got problem random shutdown after using for nearly 2 years. Luckily the shop said i still in warranty. They will contact hisense for me.
good to know but i wonder why online shop don't have extended warranty
Not sure but Hisense 3 years warranty when you purchase from shop is already pretty good. Therefore dont buy from Lazada Hisense if you prefer 3years over 2 years warranty.

Just as extra perk from manufacturer since physical shop has higher cost and need to sell at higher cost. the perk will offset the higher price.
yes physical shop has a overhead cost and of course they need to sell at certain price , well it's good that they give the extended warranty as an attraction for consumers to purchase it via physical shop , make sense
As for the prices of the individual TVs, the brand’s official store on Shopee lists the 55-inch Hisense Mini LED 4K U7K as priced at RM6,999. As for the 65- and 75-inch models, these are priced at RM7,999 and RM9,999, respectively. No price is listed for the 85-inch model though, as stocks for that particular model is not available on the e-commerce site.

Guys,, HDMI is missing from GoogleTV home screen especially after booting up the TV. Need to manually select HDMI input from source and only after that HDMI will appear on home screen. I'm using Hisense A6500H GTV.
Thanks. Still waiting for Hisense to contact me. They already take the tv. The technician told me that maybe I will get a replacement unit since no spare part in stock to repair the tv.

Same like my case - My old A6500F (AndroidTV) also buat hal after nearly 2 years..lucky i buy in-store, get 2+1 year warranty from Hisense.. But mine due to faulty LCD panel (got 1 small, thin line , near the top of panel).
They say no parts anymore as mine was older 2020 model, so they replace with new TV (GoogleTV, 2022 model)..
Is RM 2900 worth it for last year's U7H (65 inch). It is Vidaa right? If I get a Xiaomi TV Stick, can I still get the dolby vision etc?
If that's your budget and you're aiming for a 65" TV with FALD with Quantum Dot Color and Dolby Vision, then it's a great buy. Dolby Vision works but the apps in VIDAA perform better. So use the Netflix, Prime Video and Apple TV+ app for the best Dolby Vision picture quality. For any streaming apps from an Android dongle, you may see some posterization on DV content. Can't be helped. This is true if you use the same dongle and play DV content on Sony X90J; Enhanced HDMI must be turned on before you'll see this posterization effect.

Hmm, what's posterization?
I'm not too sure about getting a better 65 inch or a slightly lower spec 75 inch...
Based on my personal experience with U7H from store demo, and Sony 80K from my sister house, I can say that U7H picture is better quality, deeper black, more vibrant color(this maybe due to demo's video).

Demo videos are video files that are already inside the TV. Usually the TVs are put on Store Mode so that when idle, it'll automatically play the video. This mode also use Dynamic as its video setting. So I wouldn't trust what you see unless you brought your own video files or streaming stick and played around with the TV for at least 15 minutes, while using the right video settings.

Posterization looks like this.
You'll only see them on the U7H if you use a streaming stick and playing CERTAIN Dolby Vision content, either streaming or from your NAS. I've streamed S1E1 of Ted Lasso (watch for the overhead cabin in the airplane in the first 5 minutes) using the Apple TV app on my Tivo Stream 4K on a Sony X90J and it exhibits that. I use Firestick 4K Max with my U7H.
Like I said before, since VIDAA has Netflix, Prime Video and Apple TV+ Lite, I only have to use Disney+ Hotstar on the Firestick. Just have to grit through the posterized scenes.

You won't know what you're missing until you start to compare. So whichever you choose is fine as long as you don't compare after you've bought a TV.
They replace my broken u7g with u6k. They said its a newer model. Don't have time to test yet but is this model as good as my previous u7g tv?
From my untrained eyes, the tv image is same. The only difference is that the u7g have 4 hdmi port, but u6k only 3 hdmi ports. And also some setting is different.

So they replaced it with a brand new mini led tv? Wow... lucky leh
My bad... it seems like U6K not mini led... U7K baru mini led.
Update: Strange that most of the Google result shown U6K as mini led tv but hisense my didnt show any such info. Saw a youtube video differentiate U6K (200+ zones), U7K (500+ zones) and U8K (1000+ zones). Is MY U6K different to US model again? Oh... found a different... check if your u6k has 4k120hz. It seems like U6K dont support 4k120hz. U7G has 4k120hz support iirc.

Malaysia u7g also don't have 4k120hz, only 60hz. Malaysia hisense tv is different compare to the US version. For malaysia version, i think u7h, u7k, u900kf have the 4k120hz.

Is it brighter than u7g? Is the blooming better now?
Queenbaymall harvey norman got hisense U6K display unit.
The contrast is very good !
U6K Pro is available but not display unit
Now still searching for u7k
If you're in KL, there are quite numbers of Harvey Norman do display for U6K and U7K. For Pavillion KL, there are doing display for U6K Pro (Google) and U7K

Is the filmmaker mode auto detect because i can't find it in my tv setting. Do I need to watch movie that support filmaker mode to see the setting? Just found out today that u6k have filmmaker mode from hisense website.
Just paid 10% deposit for the hisense TV 75A6500H (2022) at price RM3182 yesterday and I wonder should I top up additional RM888 for the 2023 Hisense 75A6500K model.
The sell guy said I have 1 week period to decide before I make full payment next week.
Actually I just used the TV for watching astro and Netflix only.
TIA

U6 and U7 for 75" TV price is out of my budget and U7 price is about 3X of the 75A6500H model price and moreover I just need it for normal astro and Netflix series or movies only no games.

Its isnt anout gaming. U missed out alot of real hdr goodness which only applicable to TV with local dimming and high brightness. Other non local dimming panel are al fake hdr i can say.

No choices, 75 inch U7k TV out of my budget therefore I decided to take the latest entry 75A6500K for RM3 500 + RM450 for additional 2 years insurance warranty.
EDIT: Logged in using my account and the video is only in HD and the sound in stereo. What the hell Hisense. Need to complain to customer service. Can't add a picture...
But Hisense have updated VIDAA I don't know when. And now Disney+ Hotstar app is there!
And if you are not already subscribed, Hisense is giving it to you free for three months!
Must be redeemed by February 29, 2024.
Yes, but seem like only up to 1080P and no Dolby Atmos.

There is a QR code that will be displayed when you press Enter on the Disney+ banner on the VIDAA homescreen.
So for either existing or new Disney+ Hotstar member, you use that QR code which will bring up the to login or create a new account. But what's not clear is if it actually does anything. My plan didn't seem to extend after I logged on.
As to your second question, I believe it's only for Hisense owners who have VIDAA OS. Hisense owners who have Google TV OS would have no problem downloading and using Disney+ Hotstar.

Seems like need get the physical card from authorised dealer?
Wondering if you've solved your issue? If yes, how?
Get in touched with Hisense support, they sent some technician to look at the TV. After tell them what happened they say is software issue and need to change motherboard, so now waiting for their contact on when they are coming (within 14 days according to them) to do it on site.

Ouch! Can't they just manually flash the firmware by usb?
Got ppl here said u7k got grey uniformity issue? But i think that is not very severe problem.
perhaps i was being overly paranoid.
Nevertheless anyone know the Christmas price for the 7Uk & 6uK unit.
I just went to harvey norman today, the 55" price went up RM500 for the 6uk & 7uk unit. 55" was around RM2000 on CNY sales for 6uk today its RM2500 . so unlucky TV spoils wrong time. '
The sales person help me check & confirm it.

Super washed-out color? I don't think so. Color is better than none QLED TVs of the same price range. DV and HDR10+ content pop.
The reduced FALD zones is true. This came out during the time when the trend seems to reduce the zones for FALD TVs, coming right at the heels of mini LED introductions. In scenes where there are dark and bright scenes, it can get unsightly. The majority of the content you watch however is fine.
While its peak brightness is supposed to be around just 700 nits, in scenes when the show suddenly goes white out, you will squint.
If there are better FALD TVs at U7H's price range, then go for that obviously. If there isn't, then its a good buy.
Well most review said the ips panel is bad compare to those VA panel out there. The FALD algorithim is bad also hence bad blooming.
Maybe best is to self compare outside. Thats y u see most mini led panel now VA, cos FALD if IPS, the blooming is there. IPS owes have that dirty look.

Think there is no perfect answer out there unless hisense stop regional modal variation.
In your opinion as a U7H malaysia owner do you think it's reasonable to pick U7H over U6K 55 " for about rm300 cheaper.
U6k price seems to be increasing.
Tv will be viewed by one person only mainly for movies

I think you need to view both versions personally. Bring clips of end credits and movies with dark scenes (10 seconds long) and evaluate. If you have an Android TV device and you can hotspot it, stream something on Netflix or Disney+.
U7H has posterization in Dolby Vision on certain scenes when the clip is played back using an Android TV box. The same clip when played using the internal player will not exhibit this problem. So you may want to stress test the U6K/Pro.
On Shopee I can't find a seller with a sale history that sells U7H anymore.
The TV buying guide is still: 1) Stick to your budget. 2) Stick to the space requirement. 3) Pick the best performance for the price and feature.

In North America, Hisense made Grade A version. For the rest of the world, we get Grade B. They didn't change the model name and number.
Different factory lines and country of manufacturing.
That's a very interesting insight! That being said, I wonder which would be better then u7k or tcl c755. I'm looking at 85" version. In this same price range is toshiba z670m and lg qned81
Hi, I plan to get the Hisense A6100K 65" TV as it budget friendly + 3 years warranty. How long is the claim warranty process? Weeks or months? I survey and people complain the TV will breakdown after 1 or 2 years.
What did you buy in the end? I’m considering the X90L too
At the end, I choose 75' X90L, after all LZD voucher, cost around 6.8k
Did not opt for Hisense coz (1) SH having display but the sale guy said they will not carry for sale coz after sales is bad. (2) You can google any Hisense Service Center, can really view bad comment on response etc.
My Hisense u800qf backlight went kaput just after 2.7 years, does anyone know is it worth to send for repairs? else is u7k worth getting? just worry on the reliability.

Call Hisense to see how much it'd cost to repair the backlight. If it's over RM1000, then I'd say it's not worth it, even if you've just had it for 2.7 years.
I've seen YouTube videos of people replacing their own backlights. But from what I can see, none of their TVs are FALD. So watch those videos first and see if you'd like to attempt your own repair.

I own 65inch u7h for years now and it’s really a good TV, so I don’t get the washed out colour part, to me the picture and colour is amazing, FALD could be better. It is plugged to my appletv where colour calibration was also done. Kinda shock the new u7k is like way more expensive now

U7H is FALD. U7K is mini LED. Different processing power. Also there is a new Mediatek Pentonik chip. Having seen it in person, I think the u7K is worth the price.

This has been Hisense's manufacturing practice for years. The US gets the best version while the rest gets a lower tier but using the same model number. This is probably due to building the brand and model recognition online while creating better profit from the false positioning of the model internationally. As in, profit from US model of U6K is XX while profit from international is XX+100.
Only the U7K is mini-LED. There's no U8K being imported.

Also didn't realise Laz seller was in Penang so praying J&T Cargo don't break it.
Hope so. Don't forget to have a Netflix-compliant Google TV box. Otherwise using the VIDAA OS, you can only enjoy Disney+ Hotstar at HD resolution and the Apple TV is the lite version.
TV setup liao. As usual, JnT Cargo guy is alone. Called beforehand and asked if someone can help him carry the TV down from lorry. LOL.
Had to wait for daughter to come home to help lift out of the box and onto TV cabinet. Unlike old 46" Toshiba which I lugged up 4 flights of stairs to, then, apartment.
Not bad. Coming from old Toshiba, damn good lah. As far as I can tell, IPS panel. Black not that great. Viewing angles good.
The FALD (Full Array Local Dimming) works pretty good but, of course, mini-LED is better. Seems quite bright to me but specs states only 400nits. I almost went for U7K but budget says no. iirc it was RM1700 more on las 7/7.
Vidaa OS quite alright. I'll be using Apple TV and SVI 9P most of the time so ok lah. TV Menus jerk a bit sometimes, macam SoC not fast enough. Mine U6K is older model with dunno what SoC.
HDMI1 eARC works with Apple TV 4K which means I can output sound to HomePods via ATV. So now SVI Cloud 9P audio can go to the Homepods. Previously I had separate 2.1 AegoM just for the SVI TVBox.
The remote buttons are really nice. Membrane but got clicky feeling. No fancy touchpad like LG's. Uses AA batts, awesome.
Dunno why but the TV fails to connect to the Mikrotik hAP ax2 2.4Ghz. Actually I have the same problem with SVI 9P. Currently TV on ethernet. SVI, has been for sometime now, on neighbours 2.4Ghz.
Only 3 HDMI ports. ATV4K, SVICloud 9P and UnifiTV box already taken up all. Came with 3.5mm to RCA AV adapter.
Vidaa OS dun have UnifiTV, AstroGo, BeIN Sports Connect and more. Later update.
Got Netflix, Sooka, iQiyi, Youtube, Disney+ (HD only) AppleTV (Lite?), Plex and a few more. Later update.
I believe the ZA model is the same as ours. This is the only review that's applicable to MY U6K.
All other glowing U6K reviews like RTINGS or Tomshardware are for the mini-LED version.

Dear all, whats your opinion on U7H?? bad??? Good??? Wanted to buy a 98" to use as a Cinema room/Karaoke room purpose. I gave up the idea of buying UST projector after the costing and need to keep the room "darker". Currently using a 75" Sony X900H in living hall. 85" seems like no upgrade at all, 98"is the perfect size for my room.... but i cant find any store with U7H display as it is old model. U7K abit screen colour a bit "dim" & not "pop" based on my observation at Harvey Norman, hope u get what i mean. Please advise me. Budget < RM15,000

There are other brands with mini LEDs like Toshiba and TCL. TCL is not carried by Harvey Norman or Aeon so you might have to look at SenHeng or something.
Hi bro, is that when you’re playing something it still switch to that?
Also how’s the user interface smoothness and general performance? I’m looking at the 75” kinda interested
Yes, it happens when something is playing. I've only tested with 2 apps extensively. D+ and youtube. On reddit it seems to be affecting all apps, even the built in media player.
I found 2 fixes for this. One is use the 'stay awake' option via developer mode and the other is to disable the ambient app. Both of them seem to work for me. I'm currently using the 2nd method.
Interface smoothness, well it's not very smooth at times. I noticed abit hitching at times on the main screen occasionally. But after awhile it'll be smooth. On the app side, youtube and D+ have bit of hitching but I suspect this is due to pre-cache when loading up new videos. The worst performing app is HBOGO. It hitches alot and 5.1 is broken. D+ and the built in media player work correctly with my 5.1 setup.

Around 3k Will take note of the issue. Hopefully some official firmware update comes along
What matters for me it doesn’t lag too much like the panasonic ambient tv series. Obviously got android tv stick as backup but my wife probably won’t like having multiple android devices running when tv is already running android
I recently purchased a 6500k and every 10 minutes it will switch to screen saver. Be it youtube or disneyplus. Anyone have similar issues?
I'm using 75 A6500k. No such issue. I notice there's screensaver option on the right side bar. Maybe got option to turn off there. Got it around 3k+, value for money for such huge display. The only bad thing is notice is back light bleeding on the edges of the screen. Unnoticable though during movie
Guys I just received my hisense U7K bought through Lazada. Watching fast moving scenes are a bit choppy (image tearing is it?). its driving me crazy. for example watching football highlights in youtube, when players running the legs appears boxy, but that doesn’t happen in LIVE football on astro, but football replays on astro is also choppy, I’m confused. watching movies on astro also same. all settings are still standard except for brightness which I’ve brought down to 40 (standard 50) bcs its too bright. anyone else experienced the same issue? any setting tips? just fyi, I use 5G umobile internet with nokia fastmile 3 modem, does this affect the picture quality? appreciate your help/tips. TIA
how to set myfreetv (mytv) without decoder or antenna??
You don't need the decoder but will need to plug in an antenna. I used an indoor one with my U6K. Worked fine. Now took off already, just used it to watch Paris Olympics.

If want to use internet, can download their MyTV app. TV should have it, I guess, I didn't try.
For my indoor antenna, I couldn't scan for channels when it was indoor. So I put the antenna outside just to scan for channels. It still worked after I brought the antenna back into the house but need to put next to window and point outside.

You can put your antenna outside but under your ceiling/roof if you're worried about that. With digital signal, you just need to get enough for the TV to decode. You just need to point it at the right direction.

RTM has their RTMKlik. Media Prima has their own app, which apparently you need to create an account for and kinda buggy with the ads.

Disable the MEMC then...
Certain low frame content best to disable motion enhancement especially japanese anime... you will get black boxes. Motion>Custom>Set both blur and judder to 0. At first I thought it is my old GPU HD4850 problematic but later found out this MEMC is not really that good for low frame rate content.
Weird. I saw someone mentioned Hisense Vidaa Tv can get 4k from Disney+ hotstar, so I resubscribed its premium again, but I only got full HD (1080P) from movie quality yesterday.
But then I check the movie quality from Disney+ hotstar this evening again, I surprised to see 4K is available now.
Mine is U7G model.

Which movie?
I looked at Agatha All Along and Ms Marvel. Both should be on 4K Dolby Vision and Atmos.
The trouble with Disney+ Hotstar is that content PQ and AQ changes. They are not set permanently like Netflix, Apple TV+ and Prime Video. What's weird is that all of the content on DH is owned by them; they do not license any outside content.

Are you able to get Atmos soundtrack? My U7K only got the stereo soundtrack.

I don't have an Atmos system.
On the Disney+ Hotstar app (Android of VIDAA), play any content. While the content is playing, press Up to go to content settings Video or Audio. Long press ENTER for 3 seconds then let go. Debug mode is on. From there, you can see the metadata of the content. If the audio is in stereo, it'll show M4A. If the audio is in 5.1 or Atmos, it'll show EAC-3.
For video, it'll show if the content is in 480p, 1080p or 2160p.

On D+H, some content will have only stereo. Sometimes 5.1 and sometimes Atmos. Sometimes they'll have other languages in stereo and 5.1.
That's why I asked you what content you're watching.

I tried Loki and Eternal, these 2 I watched before which had Atmos soundtrack display on the app itself when I watched using X90J at my father's house. But in VIDAA, I only have Original but then only get Stereo sound output to soundbar.
Gonna try again this weekend at my father's house.

It seems like a trickled down version but over the weekend, I did get content to be displayed in 4K on D+H VIDAA version. But all content are only in stereo. One step forward, two steps back.

Of course, technically not your problem. But if you don't complain to Disney, they won't do anything about it.
I've emailed Disney+ Hotstar back in December complaining about the lack of 4K. Sent a screenshot of the debug. It seems that even then, the VIDAA app is really just a web browser access, and not a real app. Web access can give you 4K but not EAC3.

I did made complaint earlier this year about supporting of 4K also on VIDAA. Not sure how the Disney app run on VIDAA, seem like not actual app? As no option to update, unlike the app in Google TV.
I had a google tv with chromecast, but seem it unable to detect dolby vision n atmos capability on my U7K, as the eARC on TV is connected to my soundbar.
I think we have to wait further for new enhancement of the Disney app on VIDAA.

Not all Android box can play DV. Google TV With Chromecast can't do DV, according to Reddit users. May want to get the new Google TV Streamer.
NVidia Shield/Pro doesn't do HDR10+ but will do DV.
hi guys..My 3 year old hisense 58A6100G having display issue.. Luckily still had 1 year senheng warranty left.. Will be getting cash voucher RM2.1k (bought TV for RM2399 in 2021). Thinking of getting the Hisense 65a6500k with 3 years manufacturer warranty for RM1900++. Seems like value buy for the buck. Any reviews / comments to share guys? 😃😃
I recently purchased a 6500k and every 10 minutes it will switch to screen saver. Be it youtube or disneyplus. Anyone have similar issues?
Hey bro...i just purchased 6500K.. Cn i check if your Hdmi arc is working with your sound system? My TV showing ARC option greyed out... Old TV was hisense as well working fine via hdmi arc. The installer told me my 10 year plus old home theatre is not supported by my new TV. Suggested me to use optical audio cable instead of hdmi arc.

Yup, ARC is working. It does take awhile to initiate connection on my soundbar. I had the same issue as you when setting up sound bar first time. Installer said to put optical cable. I told him to leave it. Managed to get it working by rebooting the tv.
I'm looking for a 55" TV, mainly for streaming and playing switch occasionally , I got a chromecast 4k dongle.
Harvey Norman is now selling U6k pro @rm2600 and u7k @rm3600.
Would like an opinion of whether the u7k is worth the rm900 difference.
Or other recommendation at budget <rm3500?
I think U7K is mini-LED. U6K is not. Hisense calls it FALD (full array local dimming) Unsure what is U6K Pro.
Harvey Norman seems expensive for 55". I got the 75" U6K for RM3735 from Lazada shipped from Penang to Kajang using J&T Cargo. I was worried too but it arrived intact. Yeah, EM is a different proposition altogether.

Yeah I saw your earlier posts about it. How's the tv so far?
I think the main difference between U6k and pro is the os, pro is using Google tv.
There's a local shop selling u6k pro 65" @ rm2999. Would have got it if my cabinet was bigger 😩
Get rid of the cabinet. The bigger screen has a bigger impact.
FALD and quantum dot are good features to have. It brings out HDR content better.
120 Hz panels are also good to have, but I don't think U6K has it. It can help with judder for 24 fps. 25 fps and 30 fps content. But if that's your budget, then that's your TV.
Get aldy? Im looking for 65" U7K below 3.8k, anyone sees one please share.
Desa Home is selling that size now for almost RM4K. I would just pay that RM200 if you want that model.
QUOTE(Silfer @ Dec 30 2024, 10:28 AM)
how is hisense FALD compared to other brand like sony? or just top up get OLED is better?
If you want OLED that fits your budget, then get OLED.
Someone I know had a 65" TV. Midrange but "branded". About a year later, they replaced it with an OLED 55". With lights on as their way of watching TV in the living room, that OLED was just wasted. They didn't even disabled motion interpolation!
It comes down to your budget and your space limitation, firstly. If OLED fits, then get OLED. Otherwise, look at the mini-LED or FALD stuff again with those two criteria.

yeah. i think better stick to ma budget get mini-LED or FALD for now.
am worried about the performance of the panels in the long run
LCD and OLED panels are made by a handful of manufacturers. TV manufacturers order from them with features for high-, mid- and low-end TVs.

In 2022, 76% of the LCD TV panels that TCL and Hisense purchased came from Chinese panel makers that include BOE, ChinaStar, HKC Display, CSOT, and CEC-Panda, an increase from a 73% share a year ago or 58% share in 2019. The retreat of Samsung Display and LG Display from the LCD TV panel business in 2023 is causing difficulties for South Korean TV makers, typically the most powerful panel purchasers in the market, when negotiating with external panel suppliers.
Guys.. I bought the 65" Q6N lately, i noticed around the edge of the screen there is a lot of backlight bleeding all around the screen when I switch it on. Can any Q6N user comment?

Dispute and dispute. Seller and distributor both play tai-chi. Defect and used unit sold as new. Very bad experience. But TV performance itself I say its better than the same price range/different brand.

I think it is quite normal for low priced TV. I have a Hisense A7400F as well. Backlight bleeding when viewing a totally blank screen like just turning on the TV is not as uncommon as you think. Just that it sucks if you buy a higher tier tv and get the worse lottery panel.
However for the price of the Q6N, I think it is just a matter of how bad it is.

Had to agree, the 1st unit was worst. Black screen become grey screen. The replacement unit slightly better. Im wandering, other TV brands like samsung, LG with the price range of 3-4k, does it have the same problem? I just hope this Q6N can last me 2-3 years.

Well, Chinese TV are cheap for a reason, they use lower tier panels.
Samsung and Sony are 2 well known brands but I would say their lower end model would still be affected somewhat. Say they buy a certain amount of panels from TCL (note that Samsung sold their LCD production factories and gave away all the IPs for VA panel to TCL not too long ago), not all of them will be perfect. The better ones will go towards higher end model while unsatisfactory one will be used for lower end model.
Personally I think unless you are talking higher end model like Q or QN series for Samsung, X85/90/95 series (Sony change their branding to simpler Bravia 2/3/5/7 etc which Im not familiar), chances are you will receive lower tier panels with worse backlight leakage. You would also notice slight difference in brightness across the screen when viewing white background for example.

That pretty much sums up my doubt, generally higher end models get better panels is correct. But how do you rate panasonic? I have a 4-5 year old panasonic tv still working well.

Panasonic TV are kinda bad for the past few years. Not sure what they are like now.
Hardly to see panasonic tv at any electrical store nowdays 📺🖤😎🔥
Panasonic tvs are quite good, especially their high end LCD and OLED ones. But they are not available at most places, and even when they are available, only the low end ones are on display. Makes it really hard to buy their good tvs.

I have bad experience with Q6N, despite replacement and new unit, still pretty bad backlight bleeding. Not sure my bad luck or the quality of Hisense TV really questionable. I have Panasonic (plasma & 4K TV), TCL (QLED) and Samsung (QLED) all ok.. think twice and check actual unit 1st.
I check the official Hisense shop in Shopee, did not see U8N, but i saw U7N, the pricing is similar to Bravia 5, so i am wondering is it worth it to buy U7N? anyone has experience with it? Thank you

Go to Harvey Norman. They should have the U7N and Bravia 5 as it's last year's model. 2025 model is Q for Hisense. HN's is selling the 65U7N for RM5,700. Either one you choose, buy in-store, especially for Hisense, because in-store purchase gives you 3-year warranty instead of 2-year for online purchase.

The link you gave, the 65U7N, is it Q series?
I did not see it from this catalogue, and I thought the Q series like Q7N, Q6N is lower tier models.
I have a Q6N, its a QLED Google TV while U7N is the higher range Mini-LED using VIDAA OS. Go for mini-LED if budget not an issue. The build quality of Q6N is ok, just that the back screen bleeding is horrible. Should've just go for U7K although it is older model.
Is there any issue with U7N that I shall take notice? I intend to pair it with PS 5 for gaming
I don't have the U7N nor a PS5. I'm not a TV reviewer. If you worry about pairing it with your PS5, bring it to the store that you know have a unit. Bring the HDMI cable that comes with the PS5. Hook it up to 1 of 2 of the HDMI 2.1 port on the TV and test. Try out 4K 60Hz and 1080p 120Hz.

looking a 65 inch, survey awhile, known seller offer me Rm4399 for Hisense 65u7N and RM6600 for 65u8n,
intereset u7n , that price good deal ?
Well since Harvey Norman is selling for RM5,700, that's a good deal for 65U7N from a retail (not online) seller.
TLDR: I got my 65" U7H replaced by Hisense Malaysia with a U7N.
So this story is about bad luck turned good luck, okay customer service to great customer service. I'll try to be brief.
When my 65" U7H was delivered December 2022, everything was great except there was a smudge on the screen, right in the middle. Not something that can be cleaned from the viewing side. So I called Hisense and within a couple of days they sent a serviceman. He looked at it then said the smudge was behind the screen. He took the TV apart, all the way to the LCD glass substrate layer. From the other side, there were many more clumps of smudge across the panel. But the one that I noticed was probably the thickest, which created a shadow.
The serviceman rubbed it - can't remember what he used - and put the TV back together. The smudge was still there but there was less of it. So it's still a problem. He told me he'd ask Hisense to do a one-to-one replacement and that I should keep the original box. The replacement never happened.
For those who don't know how repair service works these days, manufacturers no longer have dedicated teams of servicemen but they hire companies to do them. So one company may service Philips, Hisense, Sony and Beko at any one time repairing TVs, refrigerators or washing machines.
Fast forward to December 2024. The smudge was still there but now there's two tiny insects behind the screen. Don't know how they got there but they did. And it's distracting. Since it's a couple of days until my warranty would've ended, I asked Hisense to send a serviceman to come clear the insect debris. Described the problem and took pix. Then they said since it's not their fault the insect got there, they'd have to charge me. Fine, I'll pay.
A different serviceman came and looked at the problem. Then I explained to him that the previous serviceman was supposed to ask Hisense about the replacement but never did. He wrote a report, said he'd get back to me about scheduling the insect debris removal. And then nothing.
After about two months - yes, two months - I got fed up. Went to Harvey Norman where I bought the TV from and asked them to push Hisense to expediate the repair. Explained to the salesman the whole situation including the smudge. That's when he reminded him that I technically have until December 2025 before the Hisense warranty ends. Buying the TV at a physical store gave me a 3-year warranty. He said he'll contact Hisense and if I didn't hear from Hisense, I should call Harvey Norman for a follow-up.
Within a week, a third serviceman came over and looked at the TV, specifically the smudge. While he could remove the debris, the smudge was now the main issue. He said he'll put in a request of an LCD panel replacement. Great! One more month went by. I called Hisense and they said the request was still being processed. They said they'll send another serviceman to re-asses the panel.
The fourth serviceman arrived for the reassessment. Took videos and pix of the smudge. He said he had done panel replacements before but not for a 65". Even he was worried about it. But he said the panel replacement was on order. He said he will get back to me about the updates.
Sometime in May, a customer service officer called me. Hisense had decided that the panel replacement was too much work and a risky one too. So instead they'll offer me a new TV - a 65" U6K. She asked if I would be okay with that. I said I'll have to think about it.
After doing a quick research, I found that the brightness levels of the U6K was lacking by 300 nits, I'd lose one HDMI port and the panel would only be 60Hz. The CS officer called and I declined the offer. I explained my reasons and said that it would be fairer if they gave me a like-to-like replacement, like a U7K. I said it's fair because U7K was being phased out already. She said they'd get back to me on that.
June was a whirlwind month. I completely forgot about the TV. Then yesterday a different CS officer called and asked if I'd be available today. They're going to fix the panel. I said great, but not Wednesday. I'd make time tomorrow, Thursday.
Today is Thursday. The fourth serviceman and his partner were supposed to come at 11 but they had to fix somebody's refrigerator, which took a while. CS officer asked if I would be home later in the afternoon. I said I would be. 3 PM the doorbell rang. The fourth serviceman arrived with a brand new, still in the box, 65" U7N.
He said he wasn't told there would be a delivery of this unit today and when he found out, he suspected it might be for me. Before he could set the new TV up, he has to take away the U7H first. I said the dusty box is right there. The three of us put the old TV back in the box. Then they set up the U7K.
So it took 2 years and 6 months for the replacement to arrive. I went from having a 65" FALD U7H to a 65" mini LED U7N. After I've done playing and setting up stuff for the TV, I'll start a Hisense Mini LED thread to "review" the TV. It'll also act for future mini LED models after N (and the previous K). And if you're curious, I can honestly say the U7N is leaps ahead from the U7H.
TLDR: I got my 65" U7H replaced by Hisense Malaysia with a U7N.

After I've done playing and setting up stuff for the TV, I'll start a Hisense Mini LED thread to "review" the TV. It'll also act for future mini LED models after N (and the previous K). And if you're curious, I can honestly say the U7N is leaps ahead from the U7H.

No DSE out of the box. Tried it with a few Youtube videos of full multi-colored screens. Watched a couple of hours of content. Apparently DSE can also happen over time so nothing to do about that there.

Caleb Dennison explains that some manufacturers do not have DSE as a defect. So long as the regular content is completely unwatchable, you can claim warranty.
