Hisense 50H8F 50-Inch 4K Ultra HD Android Smart ULED TV HDR10 (2019)

My review is of the 55" Hisense 55H8F. It came box within a box. Some have complained about damaged boxes which resulted in damage to the set. Someone listened, in late March 2020 my set arrived in a sturdy box which tightly wrapped the television set box. The television set box from Hisense was weak, and likely it never should have shipped with that box alone. Otherwise the set was well packaged, and had no damage.Physical set up is trivial, it required me to only attach the legs of which there are 2. Each leg is attached to the set by 2 phillips M5 bolts which are included. The screwdriver is not included. There are 2 options to attach the legs to the body of the set. One wider, one more narrow. I selected the narrow area as my TV shelf wasn't long enough for the longer leg base length.The set requires either a smart phone / tablet or a computer / laptop to set up in terms of software. It automatically detects physical Ethernet and doesn't prompt for wireless if Ethernet is working. The power cord is about 5' long (U.S. version) and is a 2 prong plug. Power is on the back far right as you look at the set, Ethernet, HDMI and all other inputs (USB and what not) are on the far left.Using a PC connecting my Google account did not require entering a password. Just a code which was sent to my device. Same for my Amazon account. Until an update was done, Amazon Video wasn't an available app. Once the software was updated Amazon Video appeared as an installed app.Setup overall was easy. Amazon Video, Netflix, Hulu, Youtube, and Youtube TV installed without any need to enter a password, just had to enter codes which were either texted or emailed to me by the providers.In terms of responsiveness, it is as good as any other Android TV I have used (which would be Sony and Skyworth. The picture is better than the Sony, but about the same as a Skyworth. My Sony sets are a bit older, so the technology has likely improved.4K looks awesome on all services, and HD isn't bad. Overall if you are looking for a low cost Android TV set this is a very good offer in my opinion. Other apps which I use all worked without issue. The Google Store is there, with it's Android TV limited selection. Overall it was easy to set up, and has a very nice picture. I can't rate durability, not until the set dies, which will hopefully be in at least a few years. The build seems OK, it is a bit thicker than my Skyworth about the same thickness as my 4 year old remaining Sony Android TV.

I bought this TV because it seemed to be a good balance between price and function. I couldn't be more wrong.Firstly, I use an optical cable to connect to my sound bar. The optical cable worked just fine with the old TV. Now, this TV will randomly not use the optical input at all, forcing me to reboot over and over again in hopes that it'll start working. Can't use bluetooth as there is a noticeable delay between audio and video.TV takes more than a minute to restart and the menu is laggy as hell.Picture quality is okay until you get to movement. Lots of screen tearing.Want to use this on a multi monitor setup? Too bad, the TV is not recognized most of the time by the computer, and lags atrociously.The final straw today was the input button dying on my remote. All other buttons work fine, but the input button ceased to work.I can confidently say that there has not been a single day where this TV did not cause me grief. Lesson learned here is that going with cheap off brand TVs is more hassle than it is worth. Now to stuff this sucker back into the box and get a real TV.

The Hisense 50” H8F 4K UHD ULED TV with HDR10 is a product worth the price. I was looking for a cheap TV for my grandparents to buy me for Christmas. Their budget was $250 this year. There were a couple of other versions of this TV that I was looking at. I ended up chipping in $50 of my own. That was the best decision I’ve made. With the bezel-less design and the fast and responsive android operating system, this TV beats its price. Another key feature of this TV is the 4K with HDR. This makes playing videogames a delightful experience. The TV is thin and light and has so many features that not even my family’s Samsung smart TV has. The TV pairs right up to my Xbox and my Xbox controller can turn the TV on and off with the Xbox. I can also control the volume via the Xbox remote. The only downside of the TV is the remote. In order to control the TV, you must have the remote pointed directly at the sensor, which is sometimes hard with the setup I have. The feature that counters this problem is the AndroidTV app for iPhone. I can control the TV as long as it is connected to the same network and Bluetooth as the TV. Overall, this TV is worth more than its price and can offer the features of a smart tv without robbing the bank. 5/5 would recommend to others.

I mostly used this tv for full screen Youtube or Twitch streams, sometimes Netflix, almost never for a BluRay. It was in heavy use for 3 years solid. The screen suddenly is just showing green columns no matter what I select on the remote as of January 17, 2023. I got 3 years for $400, which would be poor value if it had been used as a standard tv, but was reasonable considering it was on almost 24/7, even if often on a power-saving mode with nothing displayed.The remote was a little confusing with the layout and I didn't really use it much at all. The image was good, the sound terrible as they usually are. It certainly didn't compare in image compared to the high end models like OLED screens, but I was only solidly focused on the screen about 10% of the time. It was very much a background screen usually. I may buy the latest model if it's still highly rated among cheap tvs, but I don't feel it was good enough for any brand loyalty.

El producto llegó en una caja distinta a la original. Al abrir la caja el modelo corresponde al de la publicación (Hisense H8F)

Por desgracia me mandaron una televisión diferente a la que compre un promedio de precio de $5000 menor a lo que pague sin Android no Uled serie r6 por lo que tuve que devolverla quiero pensar que fue un error involuntario del proveedor estoy esperando el reembolso para comprar otra de la misma gama.

La tv es buena por el precio en el que esta, me llego 100% nueva y mucho antes de lo previsto, 100% recomendado al vendedor

Por el precio está excelente, no se espera lo de una gama alta, pero está bien.

El sistema operativo es una pesadilla. Es lento. Las aplicaciones se traban. El comando a distancia no responde. Terminé conectando un Roku y usarlo en vez de las aplicaciones desde la misma televisión.Una verdadera pesadilla.
