It's a fine to good panel. The size to price ratio is of course the selling point. But there's sacrifices.
4k hdr/dv is nice, bright, and enjoyable, but not great. 1080p is just fine. Anything below that like 720p on FUBO doesn't translate well to a screen this size even with upscaling from an nvidia shield.
Not that anyone should be comparing this to OLED but for those wondering - not even close, especially with MLA now available on 83" model.
As long as expectations are reasonable, and the immersive quality of a screen size is the ultimate priority, then you should be happy.
But honestly, if I was buying a panel now, I'd get an LG 83" with MLA and sacrifice 17". It gets more intriguing though with upcoming 110" panels. I guess it's about chasing size vs quality.
Unless you live in a cave that is 100ft from surface with no light all year....
The silicon inside (memory, CPU, both?) sucks and don't do well from constant read write cycles from the Android / Google OS. Over time the TV will crash and shutoff randomly requiring resets and unplugging replugging power. This is a known issue on various Hisense models. This also potentially significantly reduces its life versus other TVs.
A potential solution is keeping it a dumb TV and never using connected apps and just hooking it up to a Chromecast TV / ROKU dongle. This fixed all my issues so far and hoping extends the life. Also results is a significantly snappier interface.
The size and packaging is huge. Goodluck moving it upstairs if you need to. Destroyed my walls and needed to hire 2 sets of movers (1st failed) to hoist this from a balcony which barely fit as well.

Check out the Sony's PV-4300 it retailed for 40k in 1989 dollars.

144Hz refresh rate is cutting edge, at this point they should stop with the BS boosted specifications
