Hisense 50-Inch Class A6 Series 4K UHD Smart Google TV with Alexa Compatibility, Dolby Vision HDR, DTS Virtual X, Sports & Game Modes, Voice Remote, Chromecast Built-in (50A6H)

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.

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.

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!

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.

I got this in July and it is now March. The screen image is superb. Bright, clear, perfect, amazing. And that's the ONLY good thing about this TV. The speakers go in and out on it. Connecting a soundbar doesn't help the speaker issues, not when the TV software is crap and will kick out the soundbar. We aren't screwing up the install or anything. This TV has pairing issues with other hardware. Heck, it won't pair properly with its own remote! Try using the mute for 'commercials' on free streaming services, and it will kick the sound back on two to three times before it will mute. Then it will finally read that you wanted the sound muted, but halfway through the actual programming you're watching, so then you have to reverse back. The remote is also clunky and lacks features. It doesn't have a skip forward or skip back button like the Roku and Fire TV remotes do. Those are super necessary when the tv decides to mute itself randomly and all the tv apps need a skip forward, skip back button, or else it takes twice as long to get them to recognize the stupid wheel button on the remote as compatible with their software. The software itself is clunky. I've updated, updated, updated, and it just hasn't gotten better, not since I've had this TV. Every single time that I turn it on, it resets the main screen about three times. So, I have to wait for that to happen. Then, when I click down on the wheel on the remote to access my apps, the software has to refresh again, changing the setup on the screen and the shows/movies offered. It's annoying to have to wait for this 'smart' tv, to get smart enough for me to use it, when my five year older Hitachi Roku tv pops right up and works great. It just has a backlight going out, this one was on sale, so we bought this. I should have just gotten another Hitachi, because that thing still works like a dream, save for the darker area on one side. And the picture image isn't nearly as refined and clear as this Hisense. If I could have this screen with my Hitachi software, I'd be in heaven. Accessing apps is a nightmare. This will constantly default to the main screen, randomly. And it'll run the sound from the show or movie while it's defaulting back to the main screen, so the sound will be blaring while the movie/show is not playing and the main screen is refreshing, and then the sound won't mute to avoid spoilers. The apps don't seem to be compatible with this TV's software. They glitch and fail constantly, exiting to the main screen. Or freezing. Or I get stuck in an app and can't do anything to get out of it, because the apps freeze and then the remote stops working. It's so random. I have great internet speed. My internet isn't the problem. I've got an ethernet cable running to this, and after Hurricane Idalia and our lack of internet service then, we have a T-Mobile router running as a backup should our home internet ever fail again. So, this has two internet options. It's not my internet. It's the software with the TV. I'm shocked at all the good reviews. In the months that I've had this, I've wanted to throw it away at least three times a month, and I'm the type of person to drive my car until the tires fall off, to use a spoon even when it has a hole in it, because it functions, kind of. This TV works fine, when it wants to, but that's never fully happened for a full, hour and a half movie. It glitches so much that even I, the person who will not replace a working item, even if it's only mostly working, even if it's ugly or out of style, am willing to throw this away. I wouldn't donate it. It would cause a headache to anyone who received it. I would literally take this to the dump and smash it there so that myself and my family could be freed from this headache and money waster and so that no one else would be afflicted by it. It makes watching tv an absolute chore. I'd rather watch my shows on my 15 inch laptop screen than on this tv, because I know that that screen will work. I have 5 actively used tv's in our home. We have a Vizio, Insignia, Element, and a Sanyo, an LG, and those all work great. We got a Samsung literally 90 days ago that just went black screen on us, so I get it that some TVs are just lemons. This one has such a good picture, so clear, so crisp, that it makes gaming on it a dream. But then the sound doesn't work for my Xbox most of the time either, and I've gone through 4 HDMI cables on all the inputs, so that's a problem too. Great picture, terrible remote, there's an inability to pair properly to the remote which results in button mashing and huge problems when trying to access or leave apps, the software is so glitchy that it makes using this a nightmare, and it won't hold settings for sound on outside equipment like a sound bar or Xbox. I'd never, never buy again. Save yourself a headache and buy a Roku tv. Their software is so much more user friendly. Our LG, which is our oldest TV and constantly used for gaming is our very best one that's held up like a champ at 5 years old. That's my recommendation. I'm bummed that I didn't just return this as soon as I realized how clunky and terrible the software was initially.

For a budget TV don't hesitate. I was skeptical and picky but just needed a TV for the spare room. What the heck, it's inexpensive with some nice features. The android interface is smooth and full featured even if it's proprietary. The TV almost has as many settings and fine tuning settings of my 6x more expensive TV. After some adjustments the picture is great. The remote is limited but works great and is voice capable. I use an old 5.1 sound system with toss/optical with no problem. (some channels and apps I have to change the output setting. But if you have a newer 'hdmi' sound bar you shouldn't have to) I'm not a professional/fanatical gamer but all my PC games on Steam look good. Only 60fps but minimal if any lag/latency. Is it as good as my my dedicated 120hz PC monitor? No, but for the games I want on a 50inch screen it's great. HDR is in the "eye of the beholder" and over-sold in my opinion. As long as the 4k picture looks great, I can live without it. But the 4k and HDR looks as good as my other TV. Also... 1080p, 720p and even 480p scale and looks great. (like any TV, you will have to adjust the settings) I have not found any fault, quirk or problem with set. If my Sony goes out I'm moving this to the living room.

Okay, so you’re shopping for a TV and you want the best value for your money while maximizing the size of the screen…meet the A6! Yes. This is it honey, the TV that will not give your buyers remorse or crippling financial ruin! Look, there are “better” TVs, and there will always be. Some TVs are upwards of $10,000. But don’t compare yours to that. The A6 is superb for the price. Of course, it doesn’t come with any huge WOW factor, however, it delivers a true dupe for the SAMSUNG look for less. The minimal style and super clear screen will sell you. Put this marvel in your living room and save some bucks for a vacation. Maybe, just maybe, you could go visit those places you watch from your couch on the Travel Channel. This is a clear winner. One minor issue is the dimming zones, you can see the backlights when the content is in low light or extremely dark. But who cares. It works, the screen is smooth and beautiful and most content is sharp and bright anyways. As long as you’re watching Dolby Vision UHD 4K content, this puppy screams! I really can’t fathom spending over $1,000 on a Samsung when they don’t even support Dolby Vision. This TV does. You’ll love it and feel good about your bank account after. Get it and let a TV be a TV. You don’t need the brand name when you can have the same for less with Hisense. If you’re a gamer, maybe this isn’t for you. Nintendo switch looks fine and you can always get a gaming monitor or TV later. If you want something to fill your living room with a beautiful picture this is the TV for you.

The A6 TV is half the price of the A6 monitor, but there are a few compromises to using this TV as a monitor: First is that you need to change a LOT of settings to turn off all the video processing to avoid the picture from looking awful. (Basically, go through every setting and turn everything off.) Brightness/contrast required adjustment as well. From typical PC viewing angles, the pixels around the extreme edge of the screen will seem to disappear as the viewing angle means the back-lighting isn't passing through them; this is not usually even noticeable since few programs use these pixels for anything important - aside from the small blue bars under program icons on the windows toolbar, which are only visible from certain angles. (This occurs in many monitors; I've not tested the A6 monitors to know if they share the problem.) It auto-detects HDMI 1, but does not wake on HDMI which means I need to use the remote to turn it back on every time I use it. I bought this for telecommuting, and it's worked very well for general Office and web applications. And I love that I can view D-size engineering drawings at essentially full-scale: It's proven fantastic for that! It almost felt too large at first, but I quickly got over that, and now wish all my monitors were this large.
