This is apparently pretty decent as long as you calibrate it. It's not going to be a x90j but if you're not a videophile or someone who watches it mostly isn't going to be concerned with it being the highest it'll be fine.meszialbin wrote: ↑ my tv died on me a few weeks ago and have been constantly looking to find something on a good deal.
can anyone comment on this hisense?
https://www.costco.ca/hisense-55-in.-4k ... 11642.html
should I get this? or is there a likely deal coming soon that I should wait for? ( don't have the budget for $1000+ tv tbh)
Did they notcome out to service if its under 1 year warranty or if with costco in home service ? Curios because I'm concerned myself I havea small sedan and don't want to hassle with returning.MrBigNose wrote: ↑ Bought a Hisense 65R63G on Dec 30(I didn't want to spend much on a TV which would be used for about only 4 hours in the weekend) . Since day1, the TV has 3 red solid circles with 6mm diameter on black/gray background. Costco didn't have stock any more. Had to return it.
Now the big box with TV inside is sitting at my living room, waiting to be picked up
Maybe he wants some real user feedback rather than some Affiliate website jammed with "buy now" or "check price" links?
COSTCO will have their courier partner send someone to pick it up. May need to wait for 4~8 weeks
Maybe he doesn't know what Google is so maybe he should google what Google is first
My son plays X-Box on it all the time, I can't find any issues with the model I have (I did not compare every model, FWIW).
You have that exact same model?
You can register it, but you don't really have to, as long as you retain the pertinent info like receipt/order number etc.
Costco pays for return shipping, of Online TV orders, even if it is returned, without a defect, and it is In Home Service for years 1-5, for larger sizes, if defective. Seems like he is just returning it for a refund, though. You have a 90 day return window at Costco, so an exchange is often easier, if possible, especially if the problem is screen related, like Dirty Screen Effect, as that is a common fault and cannot be repaired easily.
Hisense is just as good as lg or Samsung. Can't tell the difference. Back when there were tv wars between plasma and LCD....picture and contract were apparent. Led LCD it's not obvious unless you go OLED. To the regular eye it's all the same shit.
TV prices seem to be all over the place these days lol
you got to keep the defective TV too?idiotcanuck wrote: ↑ Costco pays for return shipping, of Online TV orders, even if it is returned, without a defect, and it is In Home Service for years 1-5, for larger sizes, if defective.

I had a similar situation a couple of years back. I had a Hisense 55" R6 that had some significant DSE, not horrible, but noticeable, like many LED TV's, so I booked a return and reordered a 58R6" for almost the same price. The 58" had a nearly perfect panel, so I kept it. I got my refund on the 55" and they never came to pick it up. So I got a second, slightly imperfect, but fully functional TV for free. That might be a rarity though.
As far as warranty repairs go, my 58" recently failed just into the 3rd year. On the strength of filing a claim with some pics and and a fault description, Assurion, is issuing me a full refund, without a tech visit or any talk of returning the defective TV. Not sure how Costco would handle things if the TV had died in the first 2 years though. Rather than being put off by this, I am quite happy about it, and will buy another Hisense, with another 5 year warranty. I really like these for budget TV's, and quality control/durability are not what they were 10 years ago for any brand including Sony, Samsung and LG, so buying a good inexpensive brand w/ cheap warranty, and expecting a 3-5 year life span is a reasonable strategy, IMO. Think of it like a lifetime upgrade policy, if the TV's all fail within 5 years.
