Hisense 139 cm (55 inches) 4K Ultra HD Smart Certified Android QLED TV 55U6G (Metal Gray)

Started using this product last week. Was a bit sceptical to buy, but went for it anyway.First impressions: 9/10. (-1 point as it's a bit bulky at the bottom, but it's fine)Here are my initial observations:1) Noise reduction works, but it's not the best. It will not disappoint though. On high resolution videos, you probably wont even need those features.2) Colour reproduction is good. Almost accurate, if you keep optimal settings.3) Smoothing doesn't work as expected, and there are a few frame drops if the quality of the picture is below 4k. Better to turn that feature off, or use it in low setting. If you are watching high resolution 4k, or 8k content, you can play around with thr settings. It should work.4) Picture clarity and contrast are really really good.5) Sound quality: Decent, with mild bass levels, but don't expect too much. You need to buy dedicated soundbar/home theatre setup to enjoy dolby atmos content. Also Note that this TV supports HDMI 2.0, and not 2.1, so you cannot expect 'lossless' Dolby Atmos. It will be Dolby Atmos through the digital codec.6) Remote is a very basic one. It's a pain to type using that. You can use the in built voice command feature, but since I am usually concerned about privacy, I avoid giving Google too much permissions, so I connected a wireless keyboard/mouse instead. And it works perfectly.7) Android version is not the latest, but there is no major difference with latest versions. Rather, it's better in my opinion because latest versions come with a ton of bloatware and will eat a large chunk of your internal memory.8) Brightness levels are also extremely decent. I always find it better to keep backlight between 0 - 25.Anything more than that will put strain on eyes, and also on the life of the TV.Overall, I feel there's nothing much to complain, especially considering the price at which I got (60k for the 65 inch, on sale).I probably won't get such good picture quality at least on any TV below 1lakh (considering only 65 inch TVs).If money is not a concern and you are okay to spend 2-4 Lakhs to get a 65 inch tv, then Lg/Samsung/Sony OLEDs are better options.Verdict:There are no options that will provide this picture quality at this price. Exceeded my expectations in terms of picture quality.If price is not a concern, and you are okay to spend 2-4 lakhs, then Sony/Samsung/Lg are better options. Picture quality on this TV is comparable to that of high end OLEDs, but the OLED will win at any point of time.But on the other hand, normal LED will disappoint you if you are a fan of deep blacks and high contrast.This TV won't. If you are looking for a cheaper alternative to OLEDs. This was my main requirement, so I went for this fill array QLED.Will update points on regular usage, after a few days/week.UPDATE: After almost 7 months of usage.Okay, the TV didn't break, in spite of heavy usage (lol).Still now, there are no complaints.However, I did notice a difference in sound quality (through my Dolby atmos soundbar), between this TV and another high end TV from a more premium brand. The reason:1) The Other TV supports HDMI 2.1 eARC.2) This TV supports HDMI 2.0 ARC only.Overall, these are not deal breakers for me. At this price, I'd recommend this product for sure.However, if you want to buy a Hisense TV, go for the QLED U7H TV (the 120 HZ tv) instead of this one, as it is more upgraded version, and provides better value.If you have a budget of more than 1L, then go for more premium (try OLED) TVs. There will be many other better options. If you have a limited budget, you can go with the U7H.

Update 1: I got update from Hisense team and they gave me software update instantly. I could solve the issue of not working USB with their help but after some PlayStore updates, it's again stopped working. Don't know why but they are working to expand the service soonUpdate: I have found two issues with my TV. One of my USB is not working. Secondly after a service person came from some third party services, which has done something wrong so my TV is showing VU Android TV. Which is not accepted at all.Service is third class from the Hisense. We have to keep in mind that you can not repair if any problem arises. I have been contacting since my purchase but only promises are made, nothing they have done so far. Waiting for the repair. Sad for that part of service. Thank youMy camera can not give justice to the quality this TV produces. Kindly ignore my images.At this price, it's unbeatable TV.Since the two years I have been keeping my eyes on TV reviews.I've been searching for a 65 inch tv especially OLED type of screen to enjoy the content with all new features and facilities.I have seen all the brand TVs like Samsung, LG, Sony and VU and many others.. These TV came with great feathers but it was costing me more than 1 lakh.I have seen all the reviews of Vinit Malhotra and Techiebeez, all types of models which are launched since 2020.During 2021 Diwali, Hisense U6G was launched with more than 75k for 65 and 60k for 55. I was trying to order during that time but due to lack of money could not make it.In 2022, Hisense launched U7H and I started hunting for a good offer during the September sale to buy it and got one TV during sale @67k U7H 65"version. I have waited long to receive it at home and at last day of delievery, my order was cancelled and returned back to seller. I was so frustrated towards the situation as It was my father's birthday and we have waited to for this big surprise as he is cricket fan.After I tried getting U7H but could not get due to unavailability of the product. So during Diwali I purchased VU GLOLED from Flipkart 65" TV. After that next day I visited Sales India showroom and saw 65" GLOLED so started looking at the features and picture quality. But I was disappointed as the TV was having lot of issues. In person I didn't like it at all. So I cancelled the order of VU GloLED TV.After that during Diwali Sale, I got very good offer while searching other TVs so I tried buying U6H 55" at last. But during all the review I found U6G is better in all the terms of picture quality. Being fortunate there was a great fall in the price so I took the opportunity and bought this U6G under @ 38k.I was sceptical about it but I tell you the level of picture quality this tv creates is on whole next level.I have seen this kind of picture quality and level of dept in colours and pictures in more expensive brands costing 1 lakh or more. This TV has made all the difference.Local dimming is so great it feels like an OLED panel sometime during dark scenes. I can directly compare this picture quality of Sony TV. This TV has a great panel with bright lights which supports all the features one needs in the TV. Just don't look at the TV when it arrives at home because you need to tune for a better experience.ProsExceptional picture quality.The colours look great.Black are real blacks.Brightness is awesome.4k HDR videos and dolby vision content do actual justice. Upscaling is by far very good.HD 720p content is also upscaled well.Excellent finishing and build.Wall mount looks very modern due to narrow bezels.Full array local dimming looks great.Support for all types of latest Picture formats.Dolby vision, HDR10+ etc and much more.ConsMotion Smoothness is not great.Audio needs a big sound bar as I have Zebronics 9400 Pro and it plays really well.HDMI 2.1 not present.Overall I'll rate it a clean 9/10.Picture quality is just great can't get any better at this price.10/10 black levels9/10 colours6/10 Sound qualityThe remote looks very cheap.Google assistant is not upto the mark. It doesn't work most of the time.This best QLED TV. This is Value for money. I have been using it since week. Picture quality is awesome. . . Every time I see new image and find new details on it.
