I also bought one for my new iPhone SE. Highly recommedomundo!

We have an older doggie that is coming up on 16 years of age and we love our pooch but my family says he can "smell" and since he hangs out in one room with us I bought this for it's filterizationalizing powers.
And as I said, it flat out WORKS! That's all that needs to be said. Highly recommended indeed!

I have to admit to going through phones due to a slight physical handicap that causes me to fall sometimes. And when I fall, the last thing on my mind is protecting my phone.
I've broken a few, believe me. I could not find an Otterbox for my Z3 Play and so that along with Android Auto problems prompted me to purchase the new iPhone SE and immeidately bought this case for it.
I have an Otterbox case for my work cell and it has NEVER been broken when I fall. I have fallen twice with this new Otterbox for my iPhone SE and the phone and case are both as new.
Highly recommended? Yuppers!

A great film made better buy the excellent 4K transfer. Sound is also very, very, very, very good. :-)
I took a chance that this film would be better in 4K (I have the Blu Ray) and it is. An example of an older film being transferred to 4K and NOT being better is the wonderful movie, "Groundhog Day".
This version of "Gladiator" is worth watching over and over. So then, highly recommended? Yup!

Made for TV but good enough to have in my collection. Excellent film based on a Steven King novella or so I think...Think "Nosferatu".

Not as good as the 1967 musical but then that's to be expected. However, this film is far better than the Eddie Murphy versions which were just plain stupid. This version has it's moments with the picture being set in the appropriate time period but with the animals talking as people do today. That part was DUMB.
The picture and sound on the 4K is exemplary!

Does my Total Tech cover me returning this TV or not? I just reset it to wipe out my streaming services. I give up. Hisense has not done squat for me. I am still a fan of Best Buy, just not this TV.

My TV has a horrid "mosaic" affect on deep blacks that cannot be adjusted away. Also, this new TV "communicates" with my Denon AVR and turns on the AVR and starts turning on media players like Blu Ray and UHD Disc players. I hate this!!! HELP!!!!!

I have owned this for just over two years now and I don't think I will EVER get used to how W I D E the picture is. It is, for me, too wide. So wide that it is nearly useless. Is there a way to zoom in and refocus the camera? If not, good bye camera.

The TV has a Toslink/Optical Output. The TV is the audio source and as such it does not have an Optical input.

Two questions: I heard the U8K drops the HDMI signal, especially when using an HDMI splitter. Has this been a problem for anyone? I use an HDMI splitter to hook up multiple gane consoles. Also, have people run into dirty screen effect with the U8K?

8K is not widely (if at all) available via streaming. I spoke with my son who is an avid gamer and he said it isn't much of a deal in that environment.

If you split your source you are likely to suffer signal degradation unless you insert a device too boost said signal.

Can you use an Amazon Fire Stick with this TV, even though it’s Google? Apparently the cable company I am joining says they give you an amazon fire stick. Want to be sure it works with this TV. Thanks

Yes you can. I have done so via direct input of my Fire Stick 4K to the TV or via inputting the Firestick 4K into my Denon AVR-X4300H and it works superbly!

What is the Ethernet port's maximum BPS achievable.

I have found it to be fast enough for 4K films via Disney +, Amazon and MAX. My wireless hardwired speeds regularly exceeed 700+ MPS and wired is up to 1 Gig +.

There is no buffering of film or music as I sometimes use the TV for Atmos Encoded music.

Does the tv have clear picture when viewed at an angle or is it better viewed straight on

No complaints so far with this aspect of ownership! This TV is overall the best I have owned!

Is this the best tv for bright rooms?

This TV is so far excellent in bright rooms, natural or electric light matters not! Overall this is the nicest TV I have owned!

My only problem is very dark scenes that are CG generated as they appear blotchy or blocked (not from digital latency!).

An example is that I use a YouTube video of a thunderstorm over the ocean and the clouds are horribly rendered. This never happened on my 6.5 year old Samsung curved TV.

If Hisense can lend me a hand I would very much appreciate it!

But yes(!) so far in a bright room this TV shines!

I have a Xm subscription and want to buy this kit to put on my touring motorcycle and use my existing subscription. Has anyone put this kit on a bike? I have a usb plug in.

I used it on my 2006 GL1800. I put the unit and the car power adaptor in the right fairing pocket, and plugged the unit's Aux out to the Aux in that is in that fairing pocket.

I then routed the antenna out of the fairing pocket via a small channel I made in the pocket so the wire would not be pinched, and the cable was then routed under and along the lip of the saddle to the back and was placed on the rear speaker via double-sided Velcro. It worked great for years and many miles.

Hope this helps.

Can I use this in my house and does it come with me everything I need to set it up?

I have used mine this way for years. I use the SirisXM SXSD2 Portable Dock and route the antenna to where it car "see" the satellite.

The Dock has everything you need and runs on AC or D Cell batteries (you can take it outdoors).

I hope this helps!
