    I don't know anything about Costco, but just been having a look at membership. There's an online only one for £15. Say I bought that for 1 year, could I claim on the warranty in say 2, 3 or 4 years time? Or, If need be, could I just sub £15 again if anything went wrong with it after the 1 year? (edited)

    Our hisense sht the bed after 3.5 years.. renewed my membership to be able to make the claim.. no quibbles cash back so eyeing up this in a 65 inch (edited)

    How does this compare to the TCL C745? Similar monies I belive...
    C0mm0d0re_K1d's avatar
    The c745 isn't mini LED, it's an LED full array. The c805 or c845 are the mini LED ones.

    Comparison of Hisense U8K, TCL c745, c805, c845 here - displayspecifications.com/en/…22f

    Just to add to the fun, of trying to decide what to get. TCL's 2024 c855 is due our soon, and from the specs, sounds like it could be amazing.

    Wow now this is a really good deal. I was trying to see if I could get the U7K for £499 but this is really tempting.

    Such a deal Switchy! I've alerts set up for U7 and U8 hoping for a great deal ahead of the 2024 models going on sale and would have jumped at this, but no Costco in Northern Ireland and they don't ship TVs here
    gameinn's avatar
    When are the 2024 models due?

    This is a very good TV for the money, but the viewing angles are very poor. Don't consider it unless all viewers will be sat directly in front of the screen.
    TheGimp's avatar
    Ummm.. I was in Currys yesterday and the viewing angles are amazing.. I was looking at it from like 5 degrees and could still clearly see the screen!
  9. ijwia's avatar
    do you still get halloing and blooming around text like in the dimming zones did in last gen tvs ?
    TheGimp's avatar
    I suggest popping into Currys and taking a look for yourself. It's an amazing TV!

    Hi anyone give any info on how good/bad VIDDA is as an OS. Do you think they will update this model to support Freely when it arrives?
    DarkyR7's avatar
    In my experience, I don't like it, so I use my Google tv Chromecast instead.
  11. CaptK's avatar
    Do Hisense have all the UK Catchup apps or is like TCL where they don't have them all due to not being licensed or something?
    Nautilus186's avatar
    Yes
  12. budgio's avatar
    Mine hates 4k gaming,way too much lag, all good at 1440p 144hz though
  13. Leeds2000's avatar
    This or TCL 805?
  14. spursRus's avatar
    Very good price.
  15. demodragon's avatar
    Ive been eyeing this up and the price has dropped significantly. Anyone know any issues with them? Also considering waiting for the UX series now these look like they may be worth the wait.
