CR's Take
This 65-inch 4K UHD smart TV from Hisense, a model in its Roku TV lineup, delivers satisfying high-definition and UHD picture quality and a wider-than-average viewing angle for an LCD set. However, to get the better HD performance you need to shut off noise reduction, a setting that's available only on the Roku app, not the TV itself. Its HDR performance is ineffective, mainly due to limited peak brightness. (This TV supports the HDR10 format.) Thanks to the built-in Roku smart TV platform, this model has access to a lot of content. It also supports Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant voice-powered digital assistants. Note that Hisense is only one of a handful of brands that have a below-average reliability rating, which applies to the overall brand, not a specific model.
Detailed Test Results
HD PICTURE QUALITY. HD picture quality is very good. Though we ultimately got the picture to display excellent HD detail, adjusting the picture settings is not a straightforward process (see ease of use). Color accuracy is very good, with flesh tones in particular, looking natural. Contrast—the difference between the darkest blacks and brightest whites—is good, so images have some depth. Depth of black level is below average, with darker scenes in particular looking hazy, with little contrast. Image brightness is very good (with the backlight control turned up), so the picture is well suited for a brighter room. A lower setting is recommended for a dimmer viewing environment. In scenes with subtly shaded light-to-dark areas, such as a sky during sunset, the model does a very good job producing a smooth transition without distinct, coarse bands. The deinterlacing and film mode operations are excellent on HD content; there is little or no trace of jaggies on the edges of objects for video and film-based 1080i video content, such as from cable.
4K UHD PICTURE QUALITY. 4K UHD picture quality is decent. All native 4K content (non HDR) we played on this model, including movies and test videos, have detail that falls short, and is no better than HD, when played back via the TV's HDMI input. For color, contrast and black level, the TV performs similarly to its HD picture quality.
HIGH DYNAMIC RANGE (HDR) PERFORMANCE. Though this TV supports the playback of HDR content, its HDR performance is ineffective and lacks the enhancements in image quality expected from this capability. The display does not have the peak brightness capability necessary (by HDR standards) to reproduce the extended contrast on content mastered for HDR. There is no significant contrast revealed between moderately bright and very bright highlights within a scene, while the brightness levels in the mid-to-lower tones, like those in an indoor scene, are preserved.
VIEWING ANGLE. This Hisense has a wide viewing angle overall, better than that of most TVs. It will provide fairly consistent picture quality, with fewer problems than most TVs, for typical viewing conditions—say, if your family is seated across a long sectional or in chairs off to the sides. The picture does introduce moderate dimming from the sides. With dark scenes this model doesn't fare quite as well. When viewed from the sides, the depth of black levels vary depending on the vertical position of the viewer's head. As we moved closer to the screen this limitation became even more apparent, especially if seated on the floor looking upward where black levels brighten significantly.
MOTION BLUR. This Hisense TV has good motion performance, with some blurring on our motion tests. This model does not include a blur reduction feature.
SOUND QUALITY. This model has good sound quality; about average among the models we've tested. When watching a blockbuster movie, a concert, or TV show, it delivers decent performance but falls short of the better performers. Bass is lacking, but treble is nicely detailed, while the overall sound is a bit closed in. The speakers can play at a fairly loud volume level and without obvious distortion. Most people would find this sound quality acceptable.
EASE OF USE. On first power up there is an on-screen guide that helps you through setting up the TV. The HD picture has aggressive noise reduction processing turned ON by default (UHD picture was fine), a feature we could not access in the settings menu with the supplied remote. However, via a Roku app downloaded to your personal mobile device you can adjust both the noise reduction and gamma settings. Noise reduction should be set to OFF by default. The remote has a simplified design with a reduced set of buttons that support on-screen navigation. It also provides convenient direct button access to streaming services including Netflix, Hulu, Sling, and DirecTV NOW. Consider the TV's stand is 47 inches wide when choosing a table top to place it on.
INTERNET FEATURES. This Smart TV provides Internet functionality via its "Roku TV" portal with access to a library of applications. Movie streaming services that can be downloaded to this TV, or are built-in, include Netflix, YouTube, Amazon Prime Video, Hulu and HBO Now. Claimed support for external voice assistants (not built in to the TV) include: Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant.
CONNECTIONS. This model has three HDMI inputs—one supports ARC (Audio Return Channel), one composite input, and no component input. It also has one USB port, an optical digital audio out, a headphone out, an Ethernet port, WiFi wireless networking; DLNA, to access files within your home network; Casting, which allows you to send streaming content from your mobile device to the TV via your home network; Screen mirroring, where the image on your smartphone or other compatible device can also appear on the TV.
WHAT'S INCLUDED. A quick start guide. An electronic user guide via the TV's menu. A remote control with batteries. A detachable power cord. No printed manual is included.

Same here. I'm in Atlanta, GA (30339), FYI.
Thanks. $90 shipping kills the deal. But thanks anyway OP.
OP - you may want to add to the description that (it seems) most folks will also need to pay a $90 freight shipping/delivery charge.

Interesting. Bestbuy deliver TVs for free. I just bought one the other day.
This is common for most people and most sets. You need decent vision, quality content, and a relatively close viewing distance to actually see a difference at this resolution.
However, I will say that getting a set this large and having absolutely no way to control the picture settings to the fullest extent is where this TV will fall shorter than other 4k sets.
The Roku app will let you set the gamma and has a convoluted color matrix table, but that's about it. There's absolutely no way to adjust the washed out HDR and the other picture settings get locked in HDR content with no way to fully disable HDR.
Roku really needs to step up their game in general. They STILL have firmware issues with decoding certain content which presents visible lines across the top of the set. This is a known bug from May and they still haven't done anything about it, despite acknowledging a "fix" is coming.
