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!

This is still a great movie for the young and the young at heart. I highly recommend it and to add more flavor to the flick, I suggest you watch the 35th cast reunion on YouTube.
Very highly recommend.

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".
'Nuff said.

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!

I got this for a laptop that was several years old. Prior to the upgrade it took s few minutes to boot up and now?
25.54655 seconds to boot up! ;-) Everything is faster now, including just smurfing the interwebs. I have given the computer to someone that needed a "new" one and could not afford to buy one right now. This is just a great way of helping out someone. It allows them to Skype with their family and friends during this Panic-Pandemic! No joking. I really does help them out by allowing them to see their loved ones.
So if you've got an older laptop that could use a boost and know someone that could also use a boost, upgrade that computer and donate it to a friend! Pay it forward my friends!
Sweeeeeeeeeeeet? Yup, it sure is. And very highly recommended!

And, be2er also just got bigger with the U8H now available in an 85” screen size.
 

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.

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.

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 this unit be wall mounted?

Yes of course! You just need to get a VESA standard wall mount for it. Go into your local Best Buy and they will help you right there. If it is not in stock they can order it for you and have it sent to your home or to the store for pick up.

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!

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.

Does this have a fiber optic output

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!
