I bought a 58" 4k Roku tv and it went out in one month and they won't fix or replace it and bad, bad, bad customer service. Do not buy Hisense TV's. Awful brand and bad company. Tv defective and they say it's my fault and they also told me they never had a damaged tv before, so wow lie some more to your customers. How **!!!!

Bought sharp 55”. Immediately vertical line through screen. Contacted Hisense. Took 3 months to get box to ship back. 3 months later got back. Left in box since it was a summer tv. When opened the tv lasted 5 days before it won’t turn back on. Hisense say, "You're out of luck, out of warranty." Horrible customer service. Pay the extra money and get a Sony or Samsung.

I bought a Hisense 40 in Full HD LED Smart TV from Harvey Norman at Loganholme in Jan 2017. In May 2017, a black spot appeared on the right hand corner of my TV. This grew progressively worse and the whole right hand corner become black. Hisense and Harvey Norman told me the TV was 'crack' and they did not cover crack. Harvey Norman agreed that the TV did not display any external cracks. The TV was purchased with an extended warranty for 8 years. I asked for the cost of the extended warranty back. The owner agreed to refund $160 but when I went to the store, Raj his assistant refunded me only $60. The owner told me to claim the TV from my home insurance. This suggestion was to me totally unfair to the insurance company. I live alone and did not damage the TV. The TV was placed on the stand and stood there without moving or interference till it showed its defect.
I wrote to Harvey Norman many times and they told me I could buy any TV in their store for half price. Recently after some market research, I was able to engage a diagnostic technician who opened the TV and has written a report saying that the TV had not been opened previously, did not have external damage and had numerous deep scores on the inner panel. In short the TV was faulty and sold to me.
I lodged a claim with QCAT at Brisbane. I sent a copy of the claim to Harvey Norman Loganholme. I received a letter from Tony Symonds who says that he is the proprietor of Harvey Norman franchise and that the previous franchise who sold me the TV had deregistered a few months ago. I have lost over $1500.00 so far and the fact that Harvey Norman is allowed to operate in such a manner in the State of Queensland is very dismal for consumers like me who are supposed to be protected in what they buy.... that is Australians can buy with confidence...this is not the case with Harvey Norman here.

I had purchased Hisense UHD 4k 43 inches Led a month before. Unfortunately the TV screen is damaged from the inside without any physical damage. Maybe because of heat or something. I happened to notice this the next day when I switched on the TV. I have raised Warranty complaint by email and they reject it, replied they will not cover display damage under warranty. Then I asked for the repair cost, team jumbo (dealer of hisense in UAE) worst customer service. After my lots of emails and phone calls they given me quotation more then my tv cost which is not makes sense and said, "If you want you can purchase new tv. Lots of online offers going."
My question is do I have to throw my tv in garbage or what. If the display is damage there is no value for the unit, remote, box etc.. Only hisense remote they are selling 180/-aed in Amazon and customers assets no value. They must have to repair or give any replacement option no matter if we have to pay additional little cost but there should be any better solution. Now my family is suffering without tv in this critical lock down situation. I literally disappoint why I purchased hisense. Better if I went for any other good brand.

Bought at Walmart, Hisense says part # doesnt exist.... TV shuts off, restarts, freezes and remote control functions will not work. All these issues are random and make no sense as to when they will happen but there is and has been an issue from day 1. Called Hisense 5x today frustrated and out of all the calls 1 was audible, the rest I just had to hang up on. I thought I had it taken care of via their customer service but Hisense wants me to unmount the TV (65") to get a manufacture date. I dont care what the manufacture date is when I bought it new and I have a receipt, serial # and part #... The issue is unresolved and I will NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER buy Roku or Hisense EVER EVER EVER.

Hisense H9f 55" tv purchased Dec 2019 at Best Buy. This tv has a exceptional picture!! I couldn't ask for a better. However after contacting customer service 3 times with a simple question about my remote control there have been no replies back. If this company can't respond to a simple question it makes me wonder what will happen if my TV has a serious problem.

Hello, I have recently bought a Smart TV featuring Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, or at least that's what they say. (I couldn't play any Atmos file on the internal USB Player). The Tv was nice, pretty bright, but it had many issues, software related. I have kept it tho, after the 14 days of evaluation. Bad choice! One day, after only one month of use, disaster happened: some sort of a power surge thru the HDMI port and the TV went DEAD. The seller's Service returned a most unfair answer: NO warranty repair and I must pay half of the TV's price to have it working again! There was no replace or refund whatsoever. No other TV broke this soon, this easy! For me this was a lesson! Never again in my life will I buy a Hisense TV!

I purchased a Hisense TV in August and the screen died in January. I called the CS number, they offered to have a tech come to my home to repair it. It turned out that it was not repairable so they sent me an upgraded 4K model by FedEx. Through the process the communication was extraordinary. I now have a better TV than the one I paid for. Great customer service. I would recommend this brand.

I purchased the Hisense 43" Roku 4K television. After completing the setup and putting in all of my subscription information I sat down to enjoy some shows. After 10 minutes of watching, the picture went black, no matter if I was watching Netflix, Hulu, Vudu or Disney+. The sound was there, but no picture. However, if I hit the pause button the usual words came on the screen (name of show being watched). I called Hisense customer service and explained the issue and they had me reset the television to factory settings and start over. This time I only put in my Netflix subscription information, and had the same experience again. I did find that if I went back to the Netflix main screen and started the show again it would pick up where I left off, and I could watch for ten more minutes before the picture went black.

I purchased a 56" Hisense 4k TV from Best Buy a few months ago. Here begins the nightmare. Took the TV home, set it up, connected to cable box (which was working fine with prior TV) and received no picture. Read through user's guide trying to debug but was unsuccessful. Called cable company for assistance, they ran diagnostics on my line but nothing showed up. Once they heard it was a 4K TV they recommended that I upgrade my cable box (free of charge). I did so and bada bing I got picture and sound. Happy camper!
Two weeks later I'm watching the TV and all of a sudden the sound disappears. Spend time once again trying to debug. Finally I swap the input cable to a different HDMI input and bada bing, I get back the picture and sound. A few weeks go by and I decide to hook up a soundbar since there are audio out jacks. Hook up soundbar, no sound. Spend time once again trying to debug, no luck. Search the Internet. Find a guy with a YouTube video explaining that there is a bug in the Hisense firmware that prevents the audio out from functioning properly but that he has found a workaround. That work around is that you have to bring up the YouTube app in order to activate audio out. This total **! I shouldn't have to do to this. I try it anyway and guess what? The workaround does not work for my particular TV.
Another work around suggestion for this problem is to buy an adapter for the head phone jack and then plug that into the sound bar. Ok, purchase adapter, hook up soundbar and the sound is so low you can just barely hear it. More wasted time and disappointment. Weeks go by and all of sudden audio disappears again. I move the input to another HDMI jack and bada bing, I get picture and audio again. For some reason the HDMI jacks decide to not process sound and this happens about once a month. My recommendation to anyone considering buying a Hisense TV, DON'T DO IT NO MATTER HOW CHEAP IT IS. THEY ARE A TOTAL POS!

I Bought a 55 inch Hisense Roku T.V. brand new from Best Buy a year and half ago. It worked great until suddenly it stopped working. No picture, no sound. In speaking with a friend of mine the same happened to them with their Hisense after only a year. Funny thing is we have a Vizio and a Sanyo that are both over 4 years old and still work like brand new. Definitely a waste of money. Will never buy from this brand again.

The tv looked fine during operation for as long as it wasn’t connected to the internet. The first day it was connected to be able to use Netflix, it bricked itself. The update installed and left us with a green screen that doesn’t display any signal or respond to any remote/on tv button presses. Any device that desires or requires updates is rolling the dice each time that it will break, but these crappy off brand devices are the worst because of practically zero forum posts. I have another known brand tv that partially broke itself with an update for about a year (launcher disappeared) only to eventually have a subsequent update fix it. In this case however, one can’t even plug in an AppleTV or fire stick etc. to get the tv to do anything. It’s just dead. No more of this brand or frankly anything tech from Walmart.

I gave $80 to a friend and he bought me a 32" tv. It has been a piece of ** for the 2 weeks I have had it. The tv might play for awhile and then the screen freezes the picture. Or it might just shut down. Or it might run for 3 hours straight then the picture will disappear. I don't want this tv anymore. Not sure my friend will buy it back. I have had a 19" 1998 Sony tv and it works fine. Fortunately I still have it and will see if someone can hook it up for me. I guess the larger tvs are better but this 32" tv fit just the place I have it now.

After 1 year; when the factory warranty expires, my 65” Hisense Smart TV started having green specs and lines appear both vertically and horizontally; then 3 months later, the computer started malfunctioning, forcing the TV to repeatedly TURN OFF. THIS MAKES THE TV A COMPLETE WASTE OF MONEY. $700 for 1 year is horrendous. I called Hisense Customer Service and they would not help in any way. Don’t waste your HARD EARNED MONEY WITH A COMPANY that produces bad inferior electronic products. Most of my life, every TV lasted about 5-10 years. Hisense 65” Smart TV only last 1 year. If you purchase a Hisense, buy the maximum EXTENDED WARRANTY, you’re going to need it.

Purchased the 50R6E Roku TV in late September of 2019 at Walmart because it was rated higher than my favorite Vizio of the same caliber...less than 30 days later, the screen went black. Called the customer service, they sent out a tech to replace the part they said was bad. The Tech gets to our home and says "the part (the board) is not what's wrong with the TV...the part that is bad can't be replaced." Call customer service again and they tell me they will send me a box with the packing to ship the TV to the company for repair. Incredulous, I ask "what makes you think I know how to pack a TV for shipping to keep it from being damaged?!" Rude response: "that's all we can do is send you the box with packing material and you have to do the best you can; we can't send a tech to pack it for you". Customer service experience was terrible and so was this TV.

For starters I bought this "smart TV" and it started freezing up on me. I thought it was my internet so I checked everything (I'm the cable guy who does this for a living). Everything was good. Tried another device and it was good. Powered tv off and back on and things were ok... It happened again so I started watching my internet connection via my work tools and everything was good on my internet. So I reached out to Hisense and it was 3 days before I got a reply from someone who gave me a 1 sentence reply. And I tried to reply to the person. Took another couple of days for a reply. I said forget it. I'll deal with it.
Fast forward 2 years and it has gotten worse and I reached out to them again to see if they could help. 20 minutes of watching "Jeff" type a response then stop then start then stop and be silent till I said "are you still with me?" He had me factory reset the tv... I did and did the setup only for him to tell me that my TV is out of date and that there isn't anything he can do for me because there isn't an update and they won't be producing any more for my model... Needless to say I am not going to purchase any more Hisense products ever again nor will I ever recommend their products to anyone. Stay away from this brand period dot end.

We bought this TV to hook up in our showroom for our customers. It was literally there 12 months before it burned up on us. I would like to ask you a question. I’m not sure why you did not give us your name. In all my years of business I have never really understood why companies would not want their customers to be satisfied. Is that not your standard to make sure that we are happy with your products? I understand you found a technicality to deny a claim, however, does it really sound reasonable to you that this TV would go out just after the 12 month warranty? I’m trying to get my head around the fact that according to your standards, it does not seem like you care if we are happy with your products. Please read your company's commitment below and you please tell me if you sound committed to our happiness with your products.
These are your words from your website: We want you to love your Hisense products. Not just when you first buy them, but for years and years to come – that’s why quality is so important to us. Whether it’s our stringent Quality Improvement Process, our commitment to excellent aftersales customer service or the reassurance of our comprehensive warranties, it’s all done to make sure you feel confident that a Hisense product is the right choice for your home.
In other places on their website they claim to carry 24 month warrantees on TVs 50 inches and above. Ours is 50 inches. We would appreciate if you warranty this claim as it states on your website that you're committed to. Your website says "We want you to love your Hisense products. Not just when you first buy them but for years to come - that's why quality is so important to us." Please recognize that it is hard for us to love something that breaks so fast and easy. Also not having years to come to enjoy it. Does this sound like you are living up to excellent after sales as you mentioned in this statement?
I have attached pictures from your website with these statements on it. I have a need to purchase 3 other TVs for my other facilities that I own, please do the right thing and live up to your own standards. Hisense denied the claim because it was technically past 12 months and this is simply not reasonable for it to only last 13 months and anyone reading this is probably in agreement. I have never had a TV only last 13 months and this is not reasonable.

I just purchased a brand new Hisense Android tv and right out of the box the tv could not locate my internet. I spent 2 hrs troubleshooting the issues only to find out this is a common problem for this tv.

People are right, the picture quality on these Hisense TVs is terrific. But that's all I can do to recommend the TV. We've had it for about 18 months now, and there's an occasional glitch that causes the TV to completely freeze up. Power buttons on remote and on TV itself don't work, the only way to get it functional again is to unplug it, then plug it back in. This occurred infrequently for the first year or so, but since then it's been happening on a regular basis, sometimes several times per night. We will NOT be purchasing any other Hisense models in the future.

This TV worked well for a little over a year. Then it won't turn on anymore and just flashes a red light, which is a fault code. I expect a TV to last a few years, so this is just terrible. No help from Hisense to decode this error code since it's out of warranty, and fixing it would cost more than a new TV anyways.

Before purchasing a new TV for my bedroom recently, a friend of mine (who was a career executive at JVC and then at Sharp) advised me to stay away from the "off-brands". But I threw caution to the wind and bought a Hisense 43H6D, 4K UHD Smart TV for $328 - and I'm very glad I did. I've had it for about 2 1/2 years now and I'm still amazed at the beautiful picture and impressive feature set. It outperforms my other three smart TVs (a Toshiba, a Samsung and my main living room set, a Panasonic). The only drawback to the Hisense was that I couldn't get MLB.TV on it (due to licensing restrictions, apparently). No problem... I hung an Amazon Firestick on it and now enjoy baseball in the bedroom - in addition to other sports. At bottom: if you have any qualms about buying a Hisense, my advice would be to go for it.

I bought a Hisense 55" Smart tv at Walmart in June 2018. Exactly 7 days after I had the tv for a year while watching it the screen went black; as if the tv was off. No sound/no image. Hisense honored the warranty & sent me a brand new 55" Roku model. I've had it for about 1.5 months and it was working great. Last night we had a thunderstorm which knocked the power out for seconds while the tv was on. The TV was plugged into a surge protector. When the power came back the tv entered into a loop of turning itself on and off showing only a turquoise screen with the Hisense Roku logo. The power went out and came back so quick that it didn't even turn my fans off.
I called the Hisense customer support and was surprised to find out that when they replace defective tvs the new tv follows the original tv's warranty; which for me expired in June. So I was told that there was nothing Hisense could do and to look for a local tv repair shop. So in a little over 1 year I have had 2 malfunctioned Hisense smart tvs. I absolutely would not recommend Hisense to anyone looking to purchase a new tv. They may be less expensive but you definitely get what you pay for. Stick to name brand and do your research before purchasing a smart tv. If where you are purchasing it from offers an extended warranty I would definitely spend the extra money on it.

I bought my Hisense TV from Walmart in May 2018. In November 2018 it was acting up (forgot the exact issue) so I called customer service and explained my problem. They walked me through a quick 'fix' by pressing a series of buttons (on the remote) twice. Hallelujah, it worked. In June 2019 I was experiencing the same problems and I called them and was told it was not under warranty and there was nothing they could do. I said "No, it's the same thing that happened in November... (they had a record of me calling in November) You just have to walk me through the fix procedure again." They said "No, you're not under warranty." I couldn't believe it! I realize it's NOT under warranty but can't you give me the sequence of pressing which remote buttons that will bring it back like the first time?
Unfortunately as soon as the technician realized it was out of warranty the conversation tone changed immediately from a helpful "How can I help you?" to almost a snicker: "Sorry, there's nothing I can do." It felt as if my being out of warranty was his "out". He no longer had to deal with me. At any rate as fate would have it I played around (I didn't know what the heck I was doing) but I managed to get it working again ON MY OWN! Yahoo! Now here it is in August 2019 and I'm having problems again. The screen is black but the TV on. This time I called AT&T/DirecTV (my provider). When I mentioned Hisense they pretty much told me "I'm going to be honest with you sir, it's your TV. We get so many calls from Hisense users. I'm terribly sorry." I am a widower on a pension. I can't afford to buy another TV right now. I am so upset. I'll never buy another Hisense TV or product EVER AGAIN! Please DON'T waste your money!

So this TV has been a headache. Firstly it was advertised as 60hz but only does 30hz. Support said it was due to a software update. The TV updater said it was up to date. So I tried their USB update but lo and behold it didn't work. The other issue that is more pressing now that we have had it a while was the random turn off, blank screens, no inputs working, controls not responding. The build-in apps are a joke and hardly work when they want to. You can't add or remove any and on is just a ton of what looks to be low quality pirated content. No Hulu.

My wife bought this tv the middle of December 2018. By the middle of February I called for the first time about issues with the tv. Every couple days I was having to manually connect my tv to the internet. It was kicking me out of the apps I was watching. We set up a service call to fix the issues. The service man replaced the motherboard and the modem. In less than 2 months the service guy was coming back to my home. This time he replace the motherboard again and the modem antenna. Now, a month and a half later, I have had to call them back because the tv still kicks me out of apps, freezes up, sometimes have to connect internet manually, and now it has just started shutting off all by itself.
So today I call back and speak with a representative and got nowhere. She just kept asking me the same questions over and over.

Maybe I just have an older model, but... It's a "smart" TV. It doesn't allow for useful apps. It's pre-loaded… most of the apps are different variations of each other. If it says free, it's not. You get a clip. The same clip that of the garden variety of what's on YouTube or the web in general. There's not even a level or platform to allow you to purchase membership for perhaps full content which of course is good because the programming is of such that it's neither relevant nor particularly useful.
To have a smart TV that has no outside or upgrade level beyond having a Fire Stick or Vue or a premium programs platform is a waste. You still end up paying for cable or some service or device. There's devices to turn even your analog TVs into receptors for air cable. The screen is nice, settings and management is simplistic, and getting a replacement remote is relatively easy.

We love our Hisense TV except for one thing - it will not get apps for quite a few things that other TVs have, just two being Hulu and PureFlix. Quite disappointed about this since we depend on our streaming for all TV watching and want to get these "channels." We are hoping that Hisense will realize that they may not sell TVs if people cannot get these, AND maybe they will either partner with or put pressure on these companies to get the apps done for people to be able to access. At this point, we are tempted to return our Hisense and switch to a television that will at least get PureFlix.

I purchased a 55 inch Hisense smart TV from Walmart in March 2018. A few days after using the TV it starting freezing while using YouTube. I called Hisense customer service. They came out and changed the board and we still had the problem. Decided to continue using the TV without apps and then it started going blank and not responding to the remote. In order to turn the TV on or get to respond to the remote I had to give it a hard reset by unplugging the TV. I called Hisense again in June 2019 because I was tired of having to unplug the TV to reset it in order to get it to work and they could not help because my one year warranty had expired. This is the worst piece of electronics that I have ever purchased. Lesson learned no more Hisense. They claim to be the manufacturers of Sharp and Toshiba.

I bought the television in December 2017. Now 1 year 7 months later the tv no longer functions. When there is too much bright light on the screen (usually when the screen is all white) the tv turns itself off. I called and gave the serial/model #s to a lady on the phone, to my surprise she assured me they would fix or replace the television with no cost to myself! First I would need to send a video to an email (pop@hisense-usa.com). When I called the company back the next day they apologised and said that email is full and provided me with an alternate address.
Also he added they would need a receipt, a picture of the tv on, and a picture of the tv off in addition to the video (none of which was asked for the previous day). I told him I didn't have the receipt, he then asked when I bought the tv. When I told him it was over a year he immediately asked if I was aware that the warranty expired after 1 year. He then said I could pay to have the unit repaired at a local shop. I now have a useless television and have been jerked around for two days for no reason. I highly recommend buying a different brand television. It is hard to believe that a company could last when the consumer pays $500 for a tv that lasts 1.5years. I will never buy another Hisense product.

Purchased a Hisense smart TV 9 months ago with a 5 year warranty from Costco. Recently a software problem developed which was known to the company and they said they were dealing with the matter. I was advised to carry out a factory reset which I did and the TV worked for a few hours. After repeated calls they sent a software update in the form of a USB stick. This worked for an hour and the problem returned. Since then they have said a phone call could be expected within 24-48 hours from the technical division. The call would then arrange for an engineer to attend the site for a possible repair/pickup of the unit. I feel that a software update should be something that could be carried out in a matter of minutes.
Since the company was aware of the problem previously, customers should have been notified and the update carried out, prior to the customers having to complain about the poor service and product. I reported the matter to Costco who have noted the problems but are unable to help any further, it's the manufacturer who has to deal with it. I remain very disappointed with the quality of the product and service division and certainly would not recommend Hisense to a prospective buyer.

My TV broke while under warranty and their process for TV repair was very drawn out. It took 3 months for my TV to returned "fixed" and it seemed like they just wanted me to forget about it and buy a new TV throughout the entire process. 3 months after my TV was returned, it began having the same problem again. I called to have them fix it again, but they told me that my warranty expired 3 months ago and refuse to fix it/replace it/refund my money for a product that is clearly defective.

I bought a Hisense TV at the Black Friday event at Walmart (2018). Took it home, kept it upright, in the box, until March 6 2019. As soon as I turned it on, there were lines on the screen, so I called customer service to file a claim. I was instructed to take a picture of the screen and send it to them so their adjusters could review it. I received several emails and texts saying they could not see the picture. Finally 3 weeks after I initially called customer service, I was informed that the screen was "cracked" and not covered under their warranty. Walmart won't discuss a refund as it is more than 30 days since the purchase.
I asked the Hisense customer service rep to speak to a supervisor. After 7 minutes on hold, she informed me that there were no supervisors there at that time. She offered to have someone call me back. I did receive the return call, and was informed that damage, whether accidental or not, incurred during shipping, or at the retailer, was not covered and there is no recourse from them.

We bought a Hisense TV the 55 in smart 4K TV. Had it for about 3 months until something internally blew. We were not home and came home to the TV with a blown screen. It was fine earlier that morning. It has been acting up since we got it. Walmart would not take it back and Hisense would not replace the parts so now I have a non-working three-month-old TV that we bought with taxes and it up spending a fortune for it and they will not fix it. So if you're looking into buying a TV do you not buy Hisense or Emerson considering they own both and we bought both Brands and got screwed really bad for both.
The Emerson TV on the other hand just decided to not turn on anymore after 3 months. There's nothing wrong with the screen. Nothing wrong with the power cord. We bought a total of 3 TVs and only one is working which really sucks. Then they told us to send them pictures. They did not send anybody out to my house and they claim that we damaged the TVs even though there wasn't not even a scuff or a mark on the TV which is really irritating. So I paid extra money for the warranty when I bought them for them to do nothing nor send anyone out.
I would never recommend this brand to anyone. I will stick with my Westinghouse and my Vizios from now on. At least I know I've had them for at least 7 years and they are perfectly fine and have had no issues. Good luck to anyone who buys this brand. I have emails to verify everything that I am speaking of and the lady was very rude on the phone.

Within 16 months the screen went blank. You can hear the audio but no picture. Called customer service and was truly surprised at the level of customer support. We had tossed the original box so they sent us a new one. Packed it up and shipped it back by FedEx on a Hisense prepaid shipping label.

Haven't yet made any inquiries about repairing or replacing. Here's my opinion. When it's working the picture quality can be compared to units costing twice as much. I would suggest that if you can find the tv with an extended warranty with a cost savings that justifies the purchase. Buy it knowing that perhaps the lifespan of the unit will probably be shorter than a more expensive unit perhaps.

I heard a lot of good things about this brand, so when I decided to trade my 11 years old Philips for a new 4K TV I picked this one, that was 150 euros cheaper than a Samsung. Although it's not terrible, and feels OK for a standard use, I have a lot of major issues: Contrast is horrendous. If you watch a 4K movie on Netflix, during dark scenes, everything will look blurry and unnatural (after a professional calibration that is). Daylight scenes are beautiful though. Internal OS is laggy at best, and buggy sometimes. For example, I have to disconnect/reconnect my Netflix account once every few days in order for it to work.
Most of the software image enhancement options make no sense: the dynamic contrast mostly destroys your color settings, and the dynamic lightning keeps brightening and dimming the image all the time, that is obvious and annoying while playing video games. There is no dedicated game mode. It's okay-ish to "just" watch TV, it's decent to play games, but don't expect a home cinema experience with this TV. After one week I've already swapped it for a slightly more expensive Samsung that has very good professional reviews.

I have underage kids and sometimes when I am not in the room they have unintentionally watched some weird and not appropriate stuff. I explained to the manager that the kids 4 and 7 did not even understand what they were looking at. He advised that I should block the content (which was an idiot response most people would already attempt to do that and call them as a last resort).
Well I advised him that I had done that on my YouTube account and that Hisense should at least have kids Youtube available because today's children are YouTube kids and for some odd reason they love YouTube rather than old fashion cartoons.

When Hisense was contacted they didn't even offer any solutions or fixes for the TV which we would have self repaired as we cannot afford a new TV at this time.

I went through hell and high water to finally get them to send someone out to attempt to service the TV on November 28! It took almost a month to get this scheduled, only to have the technician inform me that the TV is not repairable! I called them the next day and was informed that I would have to send the TV in to repair!
The best resolution for my issue (considering how long I’ve been without my TV and how many rude/unprofessional employees I’ve spoken with) would be to send a replacement! But because this company cares nothing about their customers they are now telling me I have to wait another 2 days for their freight department to contact me so the TV can be picked up! I’ve never been through this much trouble with any company! I’ve opened a case with BBB! Please do not waste your time or money with this company! You will regret it!

I purchased this TV in September. The antenna/cable connection would not work. After weeks of haggling a repairman came and replaced a part. It worked for two weeks when same problem re-occurred. Again weeks of hassle, promises of repair, no repairman came, I called again to be told there was no repairman available in my area and I will have to ship it back for them to repair. Why couldn't they have informed me that I needed to ship it back? Why wait until I call AGAIN to tell me that no one is coming?
I have now owned this piece of trash for 3 months, of which it worked for 2 weeks, and I'm waiting AGAIN for them to send me materials for me to ship it back to them and maybe I will have a working TV by next year??? I can only hope. So far I have 3 months of frustration, disappointment, anger, but no functioning TV. I would seriously reconsider if you are thinking of buying a Hisense product.

I have a Hisense 50 and just over a month a dead pixel showed almost in the middle of my tv. It wasn't enough pixels gone for them to do anything. Not happy. Then now after less than 2 years it shuts off and comes on by itself. And can't turn it off. As I have to physically unplug the TV or power and once I turn it back on after plugging it back in, it acts normal and eventually it will do it again. I called 3 times then they told me to call a tech to fix it. I will never ever buy a Hisense product. We went out and bought a new TV. A name that's been around forever.

This TV was a Christmas present and I liked it at first... Then it was downhill. Didn’t take long to have an issue... When I called they sent me a box and I had to ship it out. They then sent me a broken TV. I had to send it back... Then they sent me one with a messed up screen. I sent it back... Then a tv that was used and looked like someone took stickers off with a buffer. It was still sticky... I sent it back. They sent me the same TV back so I had to send it back again. Then they sent me one in March and it broke, when I called about the screen changing colors they wanted me to send it back but then said never mind we can’t help you the replacement warranty ran out. It had been three months. Never again will I buy a product from them. I even saved all the emails, pictures and case numbers just to remind me.

This TV is huge, very nice in picture quality and size. But this is the cheapest TV I've ever had. It freezes up at least 3 times a month and takes several hours and sometimes a day or 2 to randomly start working again. After trying to reset it, unplug it, restart it, nothing seems to fix the issue. It's a common issue with the TV brand. Would not recommend. It is very frustrating to deal with. Makes having the TV pointless if you can't use it.

Absolute garbage customer service. Bought a 60 inch Hisense TV from them and the screen died in 2 months. 15 calls to these people just to get them moving on my case and that included a conversation with a supposed manager who was just as useless as his employees, this guy promised to keep me up to date on if they were going to have my TV sent in for repairs or to send me a new one. 10 days went by and not a peep and then they ship a TV out with an even exchange clause on it without ever telling me until the day before delivery was scheduled.
I was not about to deal with these people any longer as a month had already gone by so I tossed the TV and bought another different brand TV, who wants to go without tv for a month or longer? So then the TV arrives and I called them yet again and demanded to speak with a manager twice and was DENIED. Yes denied. Who does that? They took the TV back because I no longer had the broken one despite the fact that they never informed me that anything was going to be done and never communicated with me as promised. I have all of their conversations recorded and the pictures of the broken TV, so now I need to decide if I want to sue the company or just take the loss. :( WORST COMPANY EVER!!!

We bought a 65 in 4K tv from Walmart in June 2018. On 9-18/18, the tv froze after doing a software update. After speaking with Hisense 9 times since 9/18/18, we still have no resolution. We’ve been told so many conflicting things. They sent an email with detailed instructions on how to update the firmware, yet the file they sent doesn’t contain the item they said to use. I called back, explaining the email didn’t work only for them to resend the exact email. When I called again on 9/24/18, I was told they would mail me a USB that was preloaded with the files we need. On 10/2/18, I noticed that our incident had a note that stated canceled by HIS. I called and they assured me the USB would be mailed by the end of the week. On 10/11/18, I contacted them again since we still had no USB and was told it was mailed on 10/5/18 and that it should arrive the next day.
Of course it didn’t so I contacted them again 10/12/18 and was told it would be here any day. On 10/21/18, I called and asked to speak to a manager. He told me he really couldn’t help but would send an email to management. He said there should be a response no later than 10/23/18 and that I could receive an email or phone call. He also said there was no need for me to call back to check the status, that they would call me with any updates. After no call or email, I contacted them yet again on 10/25/18 and was told they’re still waiting on a reply from management and it could be 7 days.
We are so frustrated! After over 5 weeks, we STILL HAVE NO WORKING TV! There’s no way it should take 5+ weeks to fix a brand new tv. No one seems to take this seriously and we are our hundreds of dollars with a useless tv. We are also outside of our 90 day return window. Stay away from Hisense!!! Customer service is useless and I finally had one rep admit that this is a known issue with these tv. We are fed up!

I bought a Hisense Smart TV 50 inch on October 2nd 2017. On October 12th 2018 the TV stopped working. It would be on for 20 minutes and then it would shut itself off. This has been happening every single day since the 12th of October. We spoke with about eight different people at Hisense and they sent a repairman out yesterday and he replaced the motherboard but it changed nothing. We called them again today and they said that the repairman said everything was fine. He left before the TV was even put on again and the same thing happened, after 20 minutes the TV shut off on its own. I was horrified after reading so many negative reviews and I also am angry at WALMART for selling such a defective product and for dealing with such a disreputable company as HISENSE.

Purchased around June 2018, everything works fine, including scanning for air antenna channels. In Oct 01, the system do auto updating, (no option to disable updating), I did a reset to the TV.

After calling support team and do several auto scanning (no option for manual scan), the system do recognized and gave 21 channels available during the scanning session, but after the process the result was NO channels at all.
Support team suspect weak signals, and ask for how the antenna system is set up. In Oct 3 after providing the antenna setup system info, which have the best antenna in the market, ClearStream 2V, and even have a pre-amplifier, no response. Follow up on Oct 9, still no response.

So a tv that is barely used, that is covered when not in use goes bad in less than a year and they can't be bothered by coming out to look at it. Just looked at pictures I sent and said it was damaged. After all this, they will not explain how they think it was damaged or even talk with me because my file has been closed.

About 2 weeks ago the sound went out on Our 1 year old Hisense 55" TV. My husband was in bed so I Googled to see if I could find a solution. Someone had said to unplug the TV and reboot it. While trying to figure out which wire was for the TV, I accidentally tripped the power switch on the power strip and turned everything off. When it all rebooted, the sound was back on. Fast forward to yesterday, our month old 55" Hisense TV in the bedroom (Yes, we loved our living room TV so much we bought another Hisense for the bedroom!) went black! Yep, no picture!!
My husband tried everything to fix it. Then the picture came back on, but he noticed that when he was looking at the online TV Guide, the right side of the guide was missing so he rebooted the Dish Hopper. Everything came back on! Then TODAY the sound went off again in the living room! Again, we tried everything, we thought it might be the soundbar, so we unplugged it. We went into settings and checked everything there, unplugged and replugged the TV!! Nothing!! Then he said Maybe it's just this channel, so he switched stations. The picture froze!! SO... he rebooted the DISH HOPPER... and it was all fixed!! LONG STORY SHORT. If you lose your sound or your picture and have tried everything, before you put your foot through the screen...

I purchased Hisense TV 65N6800 05/07/18 and mounted in our conservatory using a VESA approved close fitting wall mount. Initially very pleased but within a few days I started to experience issues with the remote and also image freezing in Netflix and YouTube, only a power off/on would resolve the issue. I contacted Hisense and they immediately advised that I needed to upgrade the software (so known issue!!!). The software was delivered by email and I was instructed to download and unpack the software packet and plug into the TV USB port. However the TV was close mounted to the wall and needed to be removed from the wall in order to access the USB port. This I did and reattached the legs to perform the upgrade. It didn’t work!
I was now advised that Hisense would send me a patch on a USB stick in approx 5 days. I now proceeded to refit the TV to the wall mount, this went well and I watched the TV for 2 hours or so. I returned to the TV later to find that in switching in the screen appeared damaged with the center 1/3 of the screen blacked out. Hisense say I have and I have no claim on them and need to claim on my insurance.
I find it absolutely disgusting that a company firstly supplies a TV with a known fault (software). Then asks the customer to fix it, not knowing the level of competence of the customer nor the circumstances, detail or location of the installation. In directing the fix fails to detail the total frailty of the screen. The screen was not dropped or excess pressure applied at any point and I read of many other failed screens too. I would advise anyone else to demand Hisense perform the upgrade or wait for the upgrade via scheduled software upgrade within the TV's normal operating process. This was not offered to me. These TVs are very very delicate/frail! I would also ask Hisense as to what is the specified force to fail the screen?

She made a case and informed me I would be contacted. Time went on since it wasn't important, and forgotten about. Called back several months to find out what was happening. Now they stated that have new software and were unable to locate my ticket number. I requested another ticket and they sent out a tech to look at my tv.
Tech shows up without the part (main CPU board). He said Hisense recommended replacing. Rescheduled for another day saying part was in his office. Came back and installed, he then left before checking if that resolved issues. After I got tv back up and running called and informed him it didn't work. He called Hisense and said they would be sending out another board, and they would contact me. Never was called nor did I receive new board. Called back several months later and it was all rescheduled and same tech came back out. Replaced the same board. Still didn't not work. Now the tv would randomly shut off, Youtube still didn't work. He spoke to Hisense again from my home, they told him they would contact me with further instructions. NEVER WAS CONTACTED AGAIN.
Several weeks passed and I called Hisense again with the same stupid customer service wanting to try and do a master reset of tv. Nothing ever working. They ordered to have new shop tv to then to fix. They sent me box and shopping labels, sent tv for repairs. When I received my tv back not only did Youtube not work, Netflix had been deleted from tv apps, the screen was damaged, and tv still randomly shut off. I took pictures and immediately contacted Hisense and sent pictures. Days later I got a call back from manager and he ordered another return of tv for repair. They sent another box, labels and tv was sent back. I was contacted after a couple weeks saying it was unfixable. They will be sending me a new tv. Being that my model is now outdated they will send me the newest edition.
Upon receiving the new tv BOX I opened to find my same model tv but was someone else's old dirty scratched tv. This tv had ask the same issues as my tv I sent for repairs redirect the damaged screen. I called immediately and spoke to Hisense and the manager told me that they will not send a new tv out for a warranty replacement, it will be refurbished/like new. I explained that this tv was in worse condition than mine I sent in. Asked for a supervisor/manager to call me. Once again NEVER RECEIVED A CALL!! I called again and finally spoke to a supervisor and he escalated the issue. He eventually called me back after about week and a half explaining a full refund will be issued, and to send back the tv. So another box, shipping label was sent, and tv was returned.
After a couple weeks go by I receive another tv from Hisense via FedEx, I never even opened. Called Hisense immediately and spoke to the same supervisor, explained how I received another tv and why? He was unaware why I received tv that refund was already approved. He sent another shipping label and I returned tv. Called again after a couple weeks go by and try to speak to supervisor which they did none area available. This is going on 6 weeks and still have not received money and them saying it has been processed. This company SUCKS!!! DO NOT BUY FROM THEM. Terrible customer service, never get called back after being assured someone will. They claim to be the 3rd largest tv manufacturer in the world. That is SAD!!!

Bought the tv (Hisense 55 4K/UHD H6 series TV) in August 2017. Haven’t been impressed with the picture since we got it. Actually our two other HD TV's have a great picture, both 42 inch. One a Philips. The other a Hisense. A couple of months ago the screen background looked like the dust on the hood of a car with tiny raindrops in the dust. I called my cable company who came out and checked my router and cable and said it was all ok. They put in an amp to boost the signal. I then called Hisense too many times to count and have sent them numerous videos, one set of videos they lost and I had to send another set. After arguing with them that something was wrong with the picture they sent me a box.
I mailed it to them, it was there one day and then 5 days later it showed up on my front door step. No paperwork, no email, nothing! I set it up turned it on, the same problem. I called them and asked to speak to a supervisor. She checked their records and said they couldn’t find anything wrong with it. I told them if they don’t refund my money or send me a new tv by next Friday I will report to FTC and BBC and will seek legal action. I am not getting stuck with a bad TV!
Updated on 02/13/2018: This is a follow up to my review on February 10. Hisense called me and said there was nothing wrong with the TV. I told them that the picture was horrible and to send a technician out to physically see what was wrong with it. I’m sorry but the person on the phone acted like he didn’t have a clue about how to handle this situation so I asked for a supervisor. She said they only send out a technician on certain cases. I said this sounds like one of those cases. She told me she would escalate my case after I told her I was going to call the FTC and BBB. That was Thursday. I gave them until Friday to call. It’s now Monday.
I called Walmart and told them about my situation and they told me to bring the TV in. I bought it in August it is now February well past their 90 day return policy. I brought the TV in. They exchanged it. I have a brand new 4K HDTV with a great picture and saved 100.00. It’s pretty sad when a company (Hisense) won’t stand behind their product but Walmart will. I will be a lifelong customer with Walmart but Hisense can go pound sand!

F.Y.I if your Tv is 4 years or less it may be under warranty and can get repaired for free with shipping pre-paid by them. I purchased a Hisense 55" 4k Smart tv in 2015 from Walmart. It went out on me on Dec 20th, 2017 (black screen/no picture but sound). I was pissed... especially since Black Friday had passed... I read all sorts of horrifying stories about them and their products, looked at endless YouTube videos on repairs for my issue, and even considered calling it a loss and buying a better brand TV. Weeks later of letting this consume me, I suddenly realized that I never contacted Hisense customer service to even see what options I had if any, so I Googled a number and called. To my surprise, after providing the model and serial and some simple troubleshooting, I was told it was still under the 4-year warranty and they would ship me a box.
I made this call on Jan 2nd, 2018, the box and prepaid label for the tv came on the 6th (4 days later). I packed it according to their instruction along with all 6 pieces of hard bubble foam protectors (THEY PROVIDED) for the screen, and drove it to the nearest FedEx and off went my TV. On Jan 20th, 2018 (13 days later) my tv was back and delivered by FedEx and working. They repaired it! I'm still in shock. Now I'm a happy Hisense customer and may even consider buying my 70" from them because I was given excellent customer care and satisfaction. If your TV is less than 4 years new. Call them! What do you have to lose? I almost screwed myself out of a free repair listening to all the bad reviews and other folks experience. Peace!

Purchased a 55" Hisense 4K TV (H6 Series) from Best Buy in Sept 2017 and have had constant pixelation, artifacting and ghosting with the video. Contacted their customer service and sent a copy of my receipt and a short video showing the crappy image quality. I have two other 1080p TV's (Insignia and Acer) that I tested side by side against the Hisense using cable (Xfinity) and Blu-ray players (Samsung and Xbox One) as sources, using 3 different HDMI cables/ vendors (Hi Speed and 4K rated) and the pixelation only happens on the Hisense. Based on what I can tell, it seems the HDMI ports (all 4 of them HDMI 1.4 and HDMI 2.0 enhanced) are having issues converting the signal and/or the processor on this TV is bad. When streaming 4K/UHD content from Amazon or Netflix (through the Ethernet port) the picture quality is really good and works as expected. When streaming any HD signals through the HDMI port however, the image is chunky.
They opened a case, sent me a return label and box which arrived about 10 days later. I returned the TV and after about two more weeks, they sent it back - no indication of what was wrong, no paperwork. I called their customer service and they mentioned they replaced the mainboard/panel and some LSV cable so I was excited as this was repaired for free and I got it back in a relatively short timeframe. Well it does the same thing as before, no improvement in the image quality at all. I'm extremely frustrated at this point and plan on contacting Hisense again. I've been checking some AV forums and other users have had similar issue and problems right out of the box. The TV was inexpensive ($400 on sale) but it is not worth it!! I will never buy another Hisense product again.
Updated on 2/23/2018: I submitted a review on 1/7/18 regarding an issue that I had with Hisense and poor image quality and have an update. After sending the TV back to Hisense for a second time within two months, they ended up replacing the mainboard (again) or power supply and this corrected the picture issue. However, now the TV on-screen menu (channel info, resolution info, program info, etc.) will freeze when watching with our HD antennae. After changing channels using the Hisense remote, the menu freezes, but the channel content continues to stream. I've checked a few forums and this sounds like a known issue with Hisense TVs. When this happens, the remote buttons and buttons on the side of the TV are not responsive. The only way to correct this is to power cycle/ unplug the TV. Unfortunately this will only work for a short time. When watching TV, we need to power cycle the TV everyday.
I contacted Hisense about this issue and they opened a new case and escalated this to their Tier 2 staff. Tier 2 was supposed to contact me with 48-72 hours after the case was opened, but this never happened. I then called Hisense again asked to speak to a manager or supervisor (I want this TV exchanged or some money back at this point as I feel this is a lemon) but again, this hasn't happened. Every time I contact their call center, I get a different story and no supervisor is ever available to take my call. At this point, I don't know if contacting the Attorney General or the BBB is a worth a shot. The more I research this (and Hisense in general) the more dissatisfied customer reviews I find. Sharp is even suing Hisense after selling the Sharp TV name rights to Hisense recently. "Sharp says its US TVs are 'shoddily manufactured'''. Bottom line is stay away from Hisense products. Thanks!

I purchased a 55 inch Hisense smart tv from Walmart. (Probably where I went wrong). Not even after 24 hours after having it the screen spontaneously decided to go to a complete blur with random vertical lines as well. It's a week prior to Christmas. So now I have to pack the tv up. Print the packing slip and attach it. I don't own a printer so that's super convenient. I have to put this big ** tv back in my car and bring it to FedEx and ship it back to them to diagnosis the problem. They have not promised me compensation nor that they would even repair it.
It will take them 7 to 10 business days to even respond to me about what their solution is. You would assume that they would offer me some sort of compensation considering they completely ** my holiday. I didn't spend all this damn money on a tv so I can wait half a month past the holidays to enjoy it. The whole ordeal is a huge pain in the **. In all fairness I believe it might have got damaged when it was shipped but regardless it seems they would have been more empathetic more reassuring I would be taken care of.

I didn't expect a LOT given the modest price of the Hisense H7 UHD Monitor with HDR10 High Dynamic Range, but at least I expected a complete uncorrupted image the second I turned it on for the first time! I ordered the monitor from PC Richard in NYC delivered to my home, and when I came in this evening I saw it sitting on the landing. So I carried it upstairs to my place, opened the box, and the first thing I see is a cautionary note saying "This monitor is VERY sensitive - please place face down on a soft surface". So I did - I put it on a large pillow on the carpeted floor, before I screwed on the feet so it could freestand.
I treated it carefully, didn't smack it into anything - but when I turn the set on for the first time, there's a HUGE Vertical rainbow obscuring pretty much the entire right half of the screen! It hasn't gone away, there's no way to degauss the screen to see if that helps, and I'm wondering just how "careful" I'm expected to be with a 43" UHD TV that's shipped to me via parcel post. Is this normal for UHD screens? I've had LED LCD flat panels before that have taken a great deal of abuse without any issue - or if they HAVE taken damage (mostly liquid damage) it was nowhere near this bad. Is there something about UHD screens that almost any contact can cause them to be this badly damaged?

I purchased my 40" smart TV during the holidays in 2015. It was about 2-3 months before I set it up. The set up was fairly easy. I was pretty happy with purchase. Then the TV started turning off for about 10 seconds, then it would power on again. It was sporadic, so at first I thought maybe it was the cable. After a few months, it would happen from time to time, but by then, I had the TV for over a year. This year during Thanksgiving, it happened while I had company. I was so embarrassed. My sister had one, so I asked if her TV did the same. She said not at all.
OK. Embarrassment aside, I decided I will never purchase a Hisense again. But it gets worse. I wake up this morning 12/5/17, I turn on the TV and there's no color. I go through all the troubleshooting, although I know none of it applies to me. Then I get a chat request from Hisense. I respond, spend time explaining the problem, then they ask if I'm in South Africa. Of course when I say "no the U.S"., they say, “Sorry, you'll have to contact the international customer support”. Suffice it to say, I will go back to brands that I know. I would never purchase or recommend a Hisense product again.

My experience with these people has been absolutely horrible. After purchasing my television (Hisense 40") from a Wal-Mart some time in October of 2016, I began to have issues with my television almost immediately after plugging it in out of the box. The television would turn itself off and back on again on its own without me wishing it to do so. Initially I thought the television was just calibrating itself so I didn't think much of it. I didn't really use the TV much the following week. After about two or three weeks after purchasing a DVD player, cable & internet and a PS4 I began trying to use my TV much more frequently for movies, cable TV shows & online video games. Almost immediately it became apparent I had a problem.
The TV would continually turn itself on and off in spurs for almost 5-10 minutes at a time making it nearly impossible to do anything or enjoy watching anything on it. I thought about taking it back to the Wal-Mart I had purchased it from but had exceeded my two weeks to do so because after my purchase I had been very busy with errands and work. So with that being said I decided to contact Hisense about the issue since I had the television under warranty when I bought it at the register.
To make this to the point, I had a technician from Hisense come out to my house not once but twice to fix the issue and he was unable to solve the problem especially since it's hard to tell if it's fixed or not because the television would spazz out randomly but then work again for hours at a time. All of which I video recorded via cellphone and emailed to Hisense. I was then instructed to mail them the TV not once, not twice but three times and on the third time they sent me a replacement television which only lasted about a week before the audio went out!! Jeez.
So finally after having an aneurysm over the phone I was able to convince them to give me a refund. I sent the television in September 15th and it's now November 11th and I have still yet to receive my refund. This is the only television in my home. I've spent more money paying for the cable and Internet that I can't use because I have no TV to use it on than what the television itself is worth. I just feel so ripped off. This whole experience has just been hell and it's been going on for over a year now. With the amount of times I've sent that television in to be repaired and sent it in for a refund I've probably been without a TV for a total of 4 months, possibly more. The rest of the year I've just dealt with the television in between sending it in for repairs because I really just wanted to use it and was tired of sitting around waiting for them to fix it just to get it back and find out it's still broken. So I would just deal with it for a month or two at a time.
Please for the love of God anybody reading this do not purchase anything from these people. Stay away and go with a trusted name brand. Their warranty is crap. If whatever you bought from these people doesnt work you are better off taking the loss throwing it in the trash and moving on with your life.

They said that they haven't got the final report yet from the technician and will call me back 24-48 hours regarding the update. After 48 hours no one has called me again and decided to follow it up.
When I spoke with another customer service, they said I will need to wait another 7-10 business days before someone can come and replace my TV. So I asked what? Another 7-10 BUSINESS days from now? So if that would be the case I will need to wait another 2 weeks? So It will actually take 1 month overall just to replace my TV?!
