...Because Hisense is HIGH Quality that is also very AFFORDABLE!
I bought this for my big sister and she is THRILLED with it! She likes the incredibly bright, colorful and sharp picture and the sound is equally impressive.
This is the 4th 65" Hisense I have bought from Best Buy in the last year or so and I just bought a 5th one for my little sister!
Highly recommended?! YES! I bought the first one for myself and the other 4 for my family and friends! That should tell you how much I recommend Hisense!
I would recommend this to a friend!

I bought this because the original I had purchased a few years ago NEVER worked right. It kept losing the feature set for the selection buttons on my '11 Mustang and I would wind up having no climate controls, steering wheels controls and more things either non-operative or completely wrong for my vehicle.
The Install Team at Best Buy San Diego did great job installing setting up this and so far I have not had any problems.
They are excellent technicians and I can't recommend the enough and would gladly give them Five Stars for their professional work. Dylan deserves a special mention as he has been a great help to me with my car stereo over the last few years.

This newest HEOS acquisition is simply outstanding! I have bought over 25 HEOS equipped products for myself and family and friends and am thoroughly familiar with the quality of Denon and Marantz audio equipment and this Amp is another reminder of why I buy Denon and Marantz from Best Buy.
I have it hooked up to a pair of Klipsch towers that I bought a couple of years ago at Best Buy and a 10" powered sub. Outstanding performance and it does all that I need in the room I installed it in.
If you have wanted to experience the ease of use that is HEOS and the quality that is Denon but want to use your own passive speaker? Buy this little beauty and be prepared to be happily satisfied.
It doesn't take up any real room and neither ads nor detracts from its surroundings. It is unobtrusive but nicely styled and I have a Marantz CD60 hooked to it and that along with HEOS streaming Amazon Music HD, SiriusXM and Pandora along with a ton of Internet Stations (currently 70 presets in my HEOS system) like the Great American Songbook out of the Netherlands, you cannot go wrong.
The recent update to HEOS has made it all even easier to use and group rooms and speakers as your system grows and it will grow because of the ease and convenience of HEOS.
I am ready to buy another HEOS Home Amp but it appears they are out so I may well buy the Marantz version. Either way I know for fact (I have used HEOS since 2016) every product from Denon/Marantz that is a part of the HEOS line will work together!
Highly recommended. YES! Like I said, I not only own HEOS but have given HEOS speakers to a great many people, including a friend in her 80s and she just loves it. She listens to music from Italy as she speaks fluent Italian!

This was purchased as a present for my daughter as her iPad Mini was getting a bit long in the tooth.
I also gave one to her husband and of course I already bought one for me. That should tell you the level of confidence I have in Apple's iPad.
Like my own iPad, this one is (per my daughter) F A S T!! I also gave her the Apple Pen (Gen. 1) and she is using to teach her daughter to write!
My daughter is more than pleased with the performance, the applications that immediately transferred over from her old iPad Mini and the quality of the screen. And it is fast! Much faster than her iPad Mini was!
The battery lasts a very long time and she said it will go for several days and still have plenty of charge left. Because it is used by her daughter, I bought a cover for it. iPads are durable but a year old can test their limits so it is best to be safe!
As I said, I have bought 3 of these in the last six months and all from Best Buy! Trust me. I know what I'm doin' when I'm reviewin'!
Highly recommended? Yup!

I have long been a Dyson enthusiast. We have or have given as presents, multiple Dyson Air purifiers, upright vacuums and Cordless vacuums to family and friends. They are all quality built machines that work year in and out to help you keep your home clean!

This Dyson V8 is the newest edition to our family cleaning arsenal and per my wife it is wonderful!
I use a Dyson V11 upstairs but my wife wanted a lighter version so I go her the Dyson V8 for use downstairs and on the stairs! It is used primarily for quick pickups and for keeping the staircase clean and it does all of that with ease.
Powerful? Yup!
Light and easy to manage? Yup!
Did I mention how powerful it is? It really is! And the attachments make clean so much easier, believe me.
I cannot sing the praises of Dyson's V8 enough. My wife is happy and that is important to me!
Thank you!

The Cuisinart Chef’s Style Tabletop Grill delivers the performance of a full sized grill with the convenience of portability. This grill fires up with 20,000 BTUs of meat searing heat across 275 square inches of cooking space. With all of that power comes a lot of control as well. Two independently controlled burners allow you to set different heat zones for cooking all your barbeque foods and the built in thermometer monitors the grill temp for you. The stainless finish will look as good at your home as it will on the road.
 
Perhaps the best present ever!

I got this for my son-in-law as he and our daughter and their 3 young children live in a town home and space is at a premium.
In a word they tell me that this grill is - FANTASTIC!
I have been told that it heats ups FAST and cooks quickly and evenly. It is easy to use, easy to clean and very easy to store when you are done using it!
It is perfect for up for a small family especially so with little ones! They previously had a large BBQ and there just wasn't enough room to be able to use and store it so they brought it over to my home and my wife and I use it instead.
They missed having a grill so I bought this for them and it has been nothing short of one of the best presents I have given to them!
I highly recommend this Cuisinart Grill. It is a high quality piece of cooking equipment that is certain to make cookouts in a limited amount of space, fast and easy!

Out of all the kitchen appliances I recently purchased at Best Buy as a retirement gift to me, this refrigerator is absolutely THE BESTEST GIFT OF THEM ALL!
It has TWO, yes, 2 ice makers. One in the left hand door and one in the lower drawer. The one down below makes ice balls almost the size of tennis balls! If you drink a LOT of iced tea like me (and I literally drink gallons in the summer!) then this is the frig for you!
The left side door is glass and when you tap on it twice the inside lights up so you can see what's there in the door! The front right door is a dual door with a button on the handle so you can open the front BEVERAGE compartment that I use all the time!
It is a fantastic! The left door as an wonderful cold water dispenser that will also dispense pre-measured amounts in 4oz. 8oz. 16oz & 32oz.
That comes in handy, believe me!
The shelves inside are excellent and the entire unit is cabinet depth. My wife likes it too! It is wonderful!

With a 1-Hour Wash and Dry cycle¹, this dishwasher lets you do dishes at the speed of life so you can conquer your daily chores in less time.

That means you can spend less time waiting on dishes and more time on what matters. Plus, our TrueSteam technology helps to penetrate food residue, reduce water spots and sanitize your dishes.

The Pioneer GM-DX874 four-channel amplifier will deliver up to 150 watts RMS to each of your front and rear speakers for powerful music. Highly efficient Class D technology keeps this powerful amp running as cool as it looks, and allows for a compact chassis that fits in a lot of out of the way spaces. The frequency response of this amplifier stretches up to 50,000 Hz, for Hi-Res Audio Certified playback. Pioneer uses high-grade electronic parts and gold-plated RCA connections to ensure maximum performance. Speaker-level inputs allow you to install this amp in a factory system with no RCA connections. The amplifier switches its input mode automatically when it detects the high-level signal, eliminating the need to run a turn-on lead to your receiver or fuse box. Built-in high- and low-pass filters let you adjust the sound for your vehicle's interior, whether you're driving speakers or subs.
 

Does this amplifier make a loud "POP!" when turning the audio system off or on, or does it have relays to prevent this annoying problem. I ask because the last time I put an amp in my truck (albeit years ago), the speakers did just that.

Yes. The Marantz Model M1 is a combination Amplifier with built-in HEOS controlled streamer. You do not need anything other than a pair of passive (i.e., not self powered) speakers and if you wish, a powered subwoofer. The M1 is 2.1 channel ready (i.e., 2 speakers and a powered sub). Thank you!

High pass for sub out?

I believe the Marantz Model M1 has a low pass filter for the sub out and a high pass filter for the main speakers. The unit is 2.1 ready! The sub out level should be easily accessed and controled via the HEOS screen for "now playing". I hope this helps and if there is any error on my part perhaps the Marantz folks will assist.

Smoke, grease and cooking odors have no place in your kitchen. But neither do bulky hood vents that overpower your design sensibilities. LG STUDIO wall-mounted hood vents offer a streamlined, low-profile look that occupies minimal visual space, paired with a professional-grade 600 CFM blower that delivers ultimate air movement. The theme of powerful performance and refined style continues, with dual level LED lighting that brilliantly illuminates the cooktop surface and sophisticated, touch controls. Available in 30” and 36” widths in elegant black stainless steel; classic stainless steel finish.
 

Can the wifi feature be disabled or turned off?

I never activated mine so as near as I can tell if it doesn't have access to your WiFi, that feature is not on.

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.

Hisense sent me an email a couple of weeks ago and said they would contact me. So far not a word. This is NOT Best Buy's problem. It belongs to Hisense.

Do TV's with Tuner Type ATSC 3.0 (NextGen TV) also work with atsc 1.0 signal?

In general most standards are backwards compatible. For example, Bluetooth. All the best!

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!!!!!

Thank you Roseb. The TV is hooked up properly and other than you kind reply I've found nothing to alleviate my problems with an otherwise fine TV.

I am giving it back under warranty. I have long since grown weary of they way this thing turns every freaking device on unless and worse. I have asked Hisense here for help but NOooooOOoooooooo!!!!!

I am thinking of moving my computer and hooking it up to a tv. I play high tech fast action games and looking for a tv that will handle the speed. I'm told the refresh rate is a major importance. I'm looking hopefully for a tv about 65 inch.

In gaming mode the refresh rate is 144Hz.

when it indicates Google tv, what does that mean?

Google TV is the OS (Operating System) for this TV. You can simply buy a Roku, Amazon or some other device that features your preferred OS.
