TV prices keep plummeting everywhere which is good. Obviously they dont use samsung or hynix memory chips. yet here we are where computer prices just skyrocked thanks to the AI bubble. even ancient DDR3 practically double the price.

Dang, I certainly won't dispute that, however, the gist of what I have gathered from SD over, say, the last year, is that Roku is kinda preferred.

Would 1080p content look really bad on this TV?

DO NOT BUT HISENSE
This TV was fine until it stopped turning on for not reason. Hisense was willing to send out a tech but it took 2 weeks and they told me I had to dismount it before the tech got there. It must have gotten cracked when I was taking it down and they refused to cover it even though the reason I had to touch it in the first place was because it quit on me in less than a year. Their response was that they actually don't recommend mounting it. Don't buy this TV or any Hisense product if you expect them to stand by their product WHEN it fails.

Garbage don't xbuy
This tv is less than a year old and got stuck on the start up screen. Getting ahold of the company was a joke. They sent me to multiple departments and then finally found the one that could help. They sent a technician out to install a new motherboard which was already fried somehow. Now they are willing to send mea refund because they can't fix the TV but they won't accept my receipt that I have so I have to get a better one (?) and now the TV is almost $200 more than what I paid. Do not waste your money on this company or tv

I can't get the company to respond. The Tv was given as a gift last Christmas. It had been used occasionally but a couple of days ago it developed lines and the color is very bad. I would not recommend this tv.

Disappointed ☹️😞
I bought this TV for my Son. It's only been 9 months and now there's a green line running through the screen. What a bummer. The last Hisense TV I got literally went out after 12 months and one week. I called the company to see if they would still help me under warranty. Nope! it was one week out of warranty. I'm done purchasing Hisense products.

it was really great for a few months but first the picture and audio went out of sync often causing rebooting. now when its on live tv it goes black often requiriing it be taken off the channel and put back on the channel. variations in volume and pcrure occur also. im now looking to purchase a new tv after only 8 months. too bad. i did contact Hisense and only had a robot to talk to whi h gave me different steps to try before finally referring me to ROKU and they barely speak english but managed to pass the blame back to HISENSE! UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE AGGRAVATED I WOULD SUGGEST PASSING ON THIS AT ANY PRICE.

Hisense Does Not Stand By Warranty!
Last week, one of my grandsons turned on his TV and discovered a vertical line in the center of the screen, along with additional lines running down one side. It is important to note that the screen was not cracked—this appeared to be an internal malfunction. This TV was purchased in November 2024 as a Christmas gift. After numerous calls to Hisense, we were repeatedly told the warranty would not apply. Even though we tried to appropriately work up the chain of command to resolve the issue, we were talked down to repeatedly and our concerns were dismissed. After working through multiple agents, the supervisor, and lastly, a manager, there has been no resolution. The manager was also very unprofessional. The manager stated that he had reviewed the file and determined that the warranty would not apply. The manager suggested that the damage may have occurred at Walmart or during transport. However, this explanation did not align with the fact that the TV had been working perfectly since December 2024. He also stated that we should have inspected the TV more thoroughly before mounting it. During the conversation, my daughter reviewed many of the details outlined above, acknowledged her frustration, and expressed concern about the poor handling of the issue, specifically the repeated calls, the dismissive behavior of the supervisor, and the missed follow-up within the promised timeframe. To the manager's credit, he did acknowledge that these service issues would be addressed. My daughter informed him that she would be filing a complaint with the Better Business Bureau due to the product malfunction, denial of warranty coverage, and extremely poor customer service. In response, the manager pointedly remarked that he personally handled all BBB complaints, in a noticeably condescending tone. My daughter expressed that his sarcasm was unnecessary and inappropriate. She also shared with the manager that many of the 700 complaints filed against the company reflected circumstances strikingly similar. In response, he remarked that Hisense sells millions of TVs each year, implying that the volume of complaints was insignificant in comparison. My daughter respectfully countered that even if only ten complaints had been filed, the recurring nature of these issues still points to a troubling pattern that should not be ignored. To date, the company has not offered any resolution. The details of the dispute are outlined clearly above, and at no point has the business (Hisense) made a genuine effort to address or resolve the problem. With the exception of the first agent she spoke to, my daughter was treated more as an inconvenience (by Hisense) rather than a valued customer.

Broken in just 8 months - screen lines/bleeding
Broken!!! The damage occurred spontaneously after 8 months of normal usage, it's likely a manufacturing defect and should be covered by warranty. We didn't cause the damage, it is a latent defect, no external damage. => Customer service responded: "Please bear in mind that while the outer screen may not show the crack, the inner LCD screen is broken, causing lines in the screen or bleeding. Having said, this is considered an accidental and physical damage, which is not covered under our manufacturer's warranty, as such, we are unable to repair any parts of this unit. We do not sell replacement screens."

bought this during black friday. 6 month later... bam damaged panels, no actual physical damage to the tv to be seen. unplugged, reset all of the things to try to get the tv to work. nothing. i barely use this tv bc its in my living room and i live alone, so thenone in my bedroom mostly gets used. i turned it on for the first time today after 2 weeks or so and this is what i get. i asked customer service if its eligible but unfortunately no its not. even with the deals, it was still stupidly expensive and now i dont know what to do, first tv i bought on my own and it broke.

Absolute waste. Poorest quality TV I have ever saw
DO NOT BUY THIS TV. ABSOLUTE WASTE OF MONEY. I bought it on sale Black Friday but didn't get it hung until after New Years. By the first week of May, the sound "flipped" so that the background sounds were prominent and the dialogue was in the background. It was past the 90 day warranty, so I purchased a sound bar from Walmart. Turns out, many regular sound bars are not compatible with this Roku TV. Then today, June 2, 7 pm, the remote to this TV went wonky and when I tried to turn off the TV with the power button, instead the TV went on mute. Tried to power-off the TV several times and each time, the TV stayed on but the sound went mute. Tried the up and down volume buttons and instead of the sound going up and down, it went from "mute" to "not mute". THIS TV IS ABSOLUTE JUNK. Oh, forgot to mention, I live in a major city with 50 over the air TV channels and have a TV antenna on my home with a coax cable. When I plugged the coax antenna cable into the coax port on the back of this TV, the Roku TV did not recognize anything was there. Fortunately, I was going to get a dvr-converter box anyway, and as the antenna coax cable went into the dvr-converter and the cable from the converter to the TV was a USB, I didn't really bother about the TV's coax input port not functioning. Actually, this TV is just junk, junk, junk. Run for the hills and leave this TV on the shelf. Save yourself a lot of time, money and aggravation.

We were delaying in opening the box to mount in ou
We were delaying in opening the box to mount in our basement area due to some delays with remodeling. IT came with no cord or remote and the TV is defective and has black area at top of screen ( no picture) Appears to be manufacturers defect...Walmart said to call Hisense but you can't speak to someone directly to resolve so I'm stuck with a TV that is defective

Company is Dishonest and don't honor warranty!!!!!
If I could give this TV, a zero I would I've had the TV six months bought it for my grandchild it is still under manufacturer warranty. However, the manufacturer will not cover it. The TV picture all of a sudden turned black with blue lines coming through it. They say it's physical damage, there's no physical damage on the TV. This is ridiculous. Do not buy this product. This company does not honor their products. They do not standby their products or their warranty.

recent reviews in last 3 months all 1 star TV stopped working or malfunction
Quote from newbie_05 :
it's scary how many one star reviews are complaining about tv stop working after less than one year of use.
Almost all 1 star, and yes quite scary. Clearly it's a POS!

.....compared to what??
I know its trash for people running Plex servers. Its codec support is VERY limited. And forget about the HD homerun app if you stream local channels from an antenna.....

Here are the main pitfalls for Plex/direct video's — formats/codecs/containers that are either unsupported, only supported in limited scenarios, or widely reported to fail.
  • AV1: Many Roku devices do not support AV1 hardware decoding.
  • Older / exotic codecs: For example, some AVI, DIVX/XviD, SWF/FLV, and very old formats are unsupported.
  • Certain containers with unsupported encodings: Even if the container is "MKV" or "MP4", the specific codec/profile inside may fail (for example a newer HEVC profile or audio track). Many users report "File not playable" errors despite using MP4/MKV.
  • DTS decoding: While DTS may work as passthrough (to an external AVR) on some models, full decoding isn't guaranteed. The official profile wiki states: "DTS will passthrough to a supported AVR".
  • Very high bitrates / high-profile encodings: Some Roku hardware may choke on extremely high data-rates or exotic profile levels (e.g., HEVC Main10/4:2:2) even if codec is technically supported.
  • USB/drive/container issues: Even when format is supported, issues like USB format (exFAT vs NTFS), file size limits, or the way audio tracks are muxed can cause "unsupported" errors
    A MKV file encoded with AV1 video codec → likely not playable on many Roku devices.
  • A movie file with HEVC video + 10-bit color + 4:2:2 chroma sampling inside a container → may fail despite "HEVC supported" because profile is advanced.
  • Video with an audio track in an obscure format (e.g., DTS-X, Atmos extension, or legacy audio codec) where the Roku doesn't handle decoding or passthrough.
  • Container type like AVI or FLV or MOV with exotic audio/video inside → often fails.
  • Large bitrate 4K Blu-ray rips (>200 Mbps) may stutter or fail depending on hardware.


    HD Homerun
    Hardware/decoder limitations: Some Roku models apparently have weaker support for certain video/audio formats (e.g., MPEG-2, certain bitrates) which can affect tuner apps. forum.silicondust.com+1
  • App & OS support: The HDHomeRun app may not be as optimized for Roku as for Android; Roku might have restrictions/peculiarities in how it supports live-TV tuner inputs.
  • Update/firmware issues: Many of the reported problems coincide with updates to the Roku firmware or the HDHomeRun app. The "unsupported format" error came after a specific update on the Roku stream stick. forum.silicondust.com
  • Format mismatches: If your OTA/cable feed or tuner outputs formats (container, codec, bitrates) that Roku can't decode, you'll see errors. Android often has better wide-format support or better tuner integration (especially when using "Live Channels").
  • User base & use case: Many users complaining are heavy users (geeks) with lots of tuners, custom recordings, etc. Roku may still be adequate for more casual users, but less so for advanced setups.

    If you just want a "display" to plug another device into a HDMI port, go ahead.
