    UK version of this TV is IPS with only 160 dimming zones, compared to the US model with a VA panel and 500 dimming zones.

    Any recommendations over this tv around the same price?

    I'd probably go with the TCL 65C835K, under £1k, Mini LED, VA panel, 288 dimming zones, Google TV OS, Onkyo sound.

    This is a thread for the UK model. We've been over this - we know the US is different and I've explained why that is. It's not relevant, so stop obsessing over it.

    The What HiFi review is valid but it's at £1100 - consider that the OP is 20% cheaper.

    My point is that you'll struggle to link me to a mini LED of the same US specs *for this price*.
    You'll even struggle to link me to a set that matches the EU model's specs, bar the single TCL.
    I'll wait.

    So on a value adjusted basis, that makes this a fine deal (even with it's flaws, like those in the What HiFi review as well as the french review I linked to) until I'm proved otherwise. 1400 nits for under a grand.

    (yes, the TCL C835K is a great alternative at this price and defo the one I'd choose but I'd be surprised if you can find another)

    To summarise, in future, understand that slating a TV isn't always helpful. It's better to suggest an alternative whilst explaining why. This is especially true when we we'll never get the US model so mentioning it is nonsensical (unless you're warning about the difference in reviews) (edited)

    Interested to see people’s opinions on this tv

    Poor and Hisense think us UK customers are mugs

    USA TV has a Better Screen and Android. Read somewhere that the UK Modules are Vestel.
    USA Modules by TCL.

    Put me off ages ago.
    BraddersJ's avatar
    Vestel make mini LED TVs now?!
    Source?

    As others have said, this TV has an inferior panel to that in the US version. Shame, really, as most reviews on YouTube will have come from US based reviewers and people in EU, and the UK will buy this based on those reviews. Many reputable channels do disclose this difference, but some people may not see this.

    It is also worth noting that this does not run on Google/android TV, like on the US version. It has Hisense's own VIIDA system IIRC which is not nearly as good. (edited)
    BraddersJ's avatar
    In terms of it being 'inferior' - how does the EU set review, though?

    Because from what I can see it's damn good, value wise

    Discard the comments from the fools that imply that this is a rubbish TV. They haven't bothered to link to reviews proving that that's the case

    Edit:
    [ 65"
    clubic.com/tel…tml
    8/10 ]

    55"
    fwd.nl/beeld/review-hisense-55u8hq-u8h-serie-lcd-led-tv/
    9/10 - that's the highest score I've come across on this site.
    The TV has it's flaws, as mentioned, but it seems the value makes up for that.
    It seems you're going to have to shell out a lot more for something comparable (an OLED non-deal is nearly twice the price atm I think?)

    Yes, it sucks that the US version isn't available here. But all other mini LED's in this size/spec are above £1k atm in the UK.


    If this fits the bill for you but you're still concerned, bear in mind that Costco are well known for their good returns policy (edited)

    Agree, I find it bizarre that people are comparing this TV to a mythical US model which we'll never see here instead of to other comparable TVs in the price range.

    It's been this price for ages. Thought it being posted meant it had come down further.

    Paid £699 for this 65inch on Tuesday, hopefully worth it at this price
  9. phunny12000's avatar
    I've got one
    Read loads more of reviews
    Yeah the American one is brighter with more dimming zones, but also loads of problems with gaming and Dolby vision
    And the UK version has massively better sound

    I've been reading the comments with my popcorn in hand. It's hilarious that the amount of arguments about TV lol.

    Specs, countries, blah blah blah. Man how can people get so worked up about things. No wonder the world is going to crap thousands of people have just died in an earthquake and here nitts are top priority.
