This is a game changer, our 48" TV we have in the living room, I've started moving the sofa bang square 2 metres from the TV and watching movies that way. Experience is a million time better than where I used to sit.

Mrs does go mental me dragging the sofa around the floor every night but she can GTFO if she doesn't like it.

I like that website, tells me I do need to upgrade to 65 🤣

Wanting to get a 65” tv, this seems a decent price but any comments on it?

Reviews look good.

Not wanting to spend loads, just got some backdated pay from the fire service so thought I’d treat myself.

It’s either this or a sage barista though 😔

Chaps, what do people recommend for a 48-50" TV for the bedroom?

Ideally I want the quality to be as good as the living room 65" LG OLED tv and I don't want anything that looks s**t

Not really sure on budget but are there any old stock of oled tvs for cheap?

Hisense 50" TV for something daft like £279.

Its actually not bad at all. Like, really.

I expected it to be a bit s**t but its not bad whatsoever.

@seb - you mentioned that the backlight is a bit weird on yours. I noticed the same, it seems to auto dim/brighten the screen depending on what its displaying. Almost like a flicker? I changed the picture settings (Movie, Sport etc etc) to the 'Dynamic' mode and it seems to have fixed it.

Any eco mode on? An early big TV used to do that and it was a sstupid idea!

the 'dynamic' mode seems to have made it way better so I didnt investigate.

Ill have a look later on tonight to double check but come to think of it, I think I disabled some eco mode thing!

Thanks for the tip :)

Do you have any issues with your HiSense TV not picking up HDMI? Sometimes I put on the xBox and it just doesn't register and sits at a black screen, need to either switch the xBox off and on or the TV at the wall.

Also my arc to sound system is flakey, keeps the connection but drops the speakers putting all the sound out the sub. Like its sending a crap signal. Change it to TV speakers for a bit and then back to ARC and it works. Very odd, I have cable tied the HDMI to the speaker cables but I wouldn't expect that to make a difference.

No mate!

In all fairness, it's a bedroom TV. Alright, the fire stick is plugged in but it's no sky box or whatever. So maybe I'm not the best person to ask. However, it's been relatively flawless for me.

A couple of minor issues that I'm willing to overlook based on the age of the TV: The flickering on screen brightness gets tiresome but I've reduced it a lot by changing settings. On the YouTube app, after an ad, I tend to get a totally black screen for about 3-5 seconds and then it fires back into life again. Must be an app glitch.

Otherwise, so good for the money!
