Hisense 50" 50E6QTUK 4K Ultra HD Smart TV AI TV - 4K UHD, Hi-View AI Engine, Precision Colour, AI Smooth Motion, Sports Mode with Freely, Disney +, YouTube, Netflix

We originally bought (from Amazon as well) the TCL 65C6KS-UK on reading the review in What Hi-Fi who rated it their TV of the year for 2025. It's dreadful, and 2 days later it was booked to return for refund and we decided to try the Hisense 65" 65E6QTUK instead, on offer at £94 less than the TCL! See my one star review for the TCL on that product page. The Hisense is excellent value and we are delighted. So much so, I've ordered one more to update other sets in the house and anticipate ordering another again. The picture is so clear. Rendering is smooth, bright, all the streaming apps work brilliantly and every bit as clear as Freeview HD if not more so. The Dolby Audio in to my Yamaha receiver and speakers is a definite step up from our last set. We have also tried the TV speakers and with a couple of moderate settings changes, principally turning off the surround sound and setting the audio for wall mounting (we haven't mounted the set on the wall) the audio is respectable enough given the limitations of the speakers in the set. We didn't have to alter the picture settings at all. We just use standard mode in the day and eco at night (50% brightness). We find that the VIDAA OS works well. Freely was a very very pleasant and welcome surprise. The channel guide seamlessly integrates the Freeview/Freesat Channels with main iPlayer streaming apps. Consequently you get channels that are only broadcast SD on Freesat and Freeview as their streaming HD equivalents accessible from the programme guide and channel number buttons. This can also be paused and rewound for channels that support that too. Very good and convenient. The one slight drawback is that you don't get the numbers of apps that you get with the Amazon Fire OS but this is easily remedied with a £35 4k firestick if that matters to you. However there is the VIDAA OS Channels+ streaming channels to compensate. All the main apps are supported however. I have no hesitation in recommending the set. It's excellent value and excellent for real world day to day viewing. We're delighted.

good tv for the money. i find the sound is perfectly fine. good size and easy to set up

I'm in my seventies, new tech-nervous, want a TV to watch live and with streaming services, no other plug ins. It's great. Amazon guys had this set up in 10 minutes, power plug in socket, connected to internet, with no antenna or other wires needed. Freely has live TV guide with all the free channels I'm ever likely to want to access. Preloaded apps include all the UK basics and players I want (iplayer, ITV, 4, 5, Netflix, Prime, YouTube. Plus lots of others I"m unlikely to use). It's updated itself without any traumas. Screen display and sound are fine for me, I don't feel the need for a soundbar. I'm finding both the remote control and Freely easy and intuitive to use. (There is a momentary blank screen when you change channels on Freely but I was expecting this thanks to YouTubers reports - which almost put me off the system, I'm very glad they didn't.) It's replaced an LG that only lasted 4 years and cost 3 times as much.

Brilliant for the price. Delivery was quick and very good as care was taken. The TV was so easy to set up by following the on screen instructions. It did take a while to adjust the sound as at first it was a bit tinny, but again this was an easy fix. The picture quality is so good, especially when watching something that has a dark background. It's definitely enhanced watching Stranger things! Going to buy a soundbar for added enhancement. A good buy and for the price

Great TV for the price, good clear picture and sound quality

We love everything about this tv. Having read about sound quality and need for a sound bar we considered ordering one at the same time and then chose to wait and give the tv a chance as is first off. Other reviews mention changing picture and sound qualities to suit and for us this is the answer. We have a small tv room with lots of soft furnishings so the acoustics might be helping and the sound is absolutely fine for us. The last tv was a smaller Sony. The sound quality is totally comparable. As is picture clarity. So light, easy to install, quick to set up. If you are considering this tv just get it. No need to hesitate. My only disappointment is that there is no hayu app on the tv and no way to download or watch through the internet function as apparently the browser is too old and I can’t find a way to update it. Quick fix is buy a fire stick and problem solved. Many thanks to Amazon help as always. Love the tv love Amazon. Many thanks.

Hisense 65E6QTUK 65" QLED – Real World Review I didn’t realise how much my previous TV had been irritating me until I replaced it with the Hisense 65E6QTUK. The old TCL Fire TV constantly felt unstable: random HDMI dropouts, sluggish menus, audio handshake issues, HDR confusion, laggy EPG, buffering weirdness, and a general feeling that every viewing session might turn into troubleshooting. This Hisense has been the complete opposite. Setup & First Impressions Within minutes: Xbox Series X detected HDR10 correctly, FIFA and Star Wars cutscenes looked cinematic, Plex connected instantly to my upstairs server, live TV and catch-up loaded quickly, and the VIDAA interface felt responsive rather than bloated. No messing about. No fighting menus. No strange behaviour. It just worked. Picture Quality The biggest surprise has been how good the QLED panel looks in real-world use. Games like FC26 and Battlefront II suddenly feel genuinely cinematic: deep blacks, strong HDR highlights, vivid colours, smooth motion, and excellent contrast. Football broadcasts look superb too. Bright reds and greens pop without looking radioactive, and motion handling during fast camera pans has been consistently smooth. Anime looked incredible as well. Infinity Castle especially looked absolutely stunning on this panel. Classic films benefit too. Watching the original Star Wars trilogy on a large HDR-capable screen with proper contrast and colour depth felt fantastic. Gaming Performance This is where the difference became obvious. The TCL constantly felt unreliable with the Xbox: signal blackouts, HDR switching issues, intermittent instability, and general inconsistency. The Hisense has been rock solid. Not a single dropout. Gameplay feels smooth, menus are instant, and cutscenes finally look like showcase material rather than compressed streaming video. I genuinely spent most of the evening grinning at it. VIDAA Operating System VIDAA deserves credit. I expected a cheap-feeling smart TV interface, but it’s actually: fast, clean, responsive, and easy to navigate. Apps launch quickly. The EPG responds instantly. Catch-up services work properly. The mobile companion app is excellent. Compared to the cluttered Fire TV experience, this feels streamlined and efficient. Plex Performance Plex connected immediately to my upstairs server with virtually no setup hassle. Film playback has been flawless. Music playback is excellent too, though gapless transitions between DJ mixes could still be smoother as tracks briefly buffer between songs. For films and TV, though, it’s been superb. Sound Paired with a decent soundbar, the setup becomes surprisingly cinematic for the money. Space battles, football atmospheres, and HDR films all carry real impact now instead of sounding thin and compressed. Final Verdict The best thing about this TV is simple: It disappears. You stop thinking about: settings, HDMI issues, HDR negotiation, buffering, crashes, and system glitches… …and just enjoy films, games and music. That’s what a good TV should do. For the money, the Hisense 65E6QTUK has been an absolute belter.

Hisense 58" E6 TV to replace my 10year old Samsung 55". Great picture, rubbish sound, which isn't a problem as I have a Hisense soundbar connected. Only one small issue is that the USB's, on the rear, are constant power, even when the TV is off, meaning the LED's remain on after shutdown. Delivery was faultless and the 'Haul away' service, free with this deal, was handled expertly. All on all, a happy Chappy.
