I've left comments all over Youtube review videos and various websites, now I'm going to mash them all into one review. I know my pictures arent great and they don't do this TV justice in the picture quality category, use your imagination :) Not only as a "budget" TV, but as an TV period, the picture quality can be absolutely phenomenal. The brightness of HDR and SDR content is great, bright highlights on a dark background really does POP, the black levels are great, the colors are fantastic and not overly saturated as much as Samsung QLEDs. I watched Into the Spiderverse, Dark Knight Rises, and Infinity War and I was utterly shocked how amazing everything looked. Spiderverse and IW were 4k HDR and TDKR was 1080p upscaled perfectly and it was the best viewing experience I’ve had watching all 3 movies. Dare I say I got 4K content to look suspiciously close to OLED quality (how dare I say that, right). All the hype I've read about this TV is real, the picture quality (in the right conditions) performs way above it’s price point. 4K gaming (HDR and SDR) blew me away on my PC and PS4PRO, coming from a 55" KS8000 it couldn't carry the H9F's gym bag (Why is a TV going to the gym you ask, because it's opening a can of whoop@ss on lesser TVs). See the pictures, it doesn't do the H9F justice, but the PQ was too beautiful to NOT take a picture. While on the topic of gaming, the motion handling is top notch! I was weary about buying budget because of the fear of bad motion processing (looking at you TCL and Vizio) and I was looking at the x900f just for the great motion processing Sony is known for, but this preforms better than the KS8000 and I'm not disappointed one bit. Game mode is fantastic across the board! Now, with all the good stuff out of the way. I'm going to break down the glaring negatives that's ultimately going to have lots of advanced users avoid this TV. 1. Dirty Screen Effect (DSE): The DSE is doing my head in, it's running rampart on this TV. The first set that I ordered had very noticeable DSE on the borders of the screen (left right top bottom). The middle was perfectly clear and I wouldn’t have seen it if I hadn’t connected my PC and started web browsing and using iTunes with the screen bright white. I could game and watch movies 100% fine without any distractions, but I’m not going to keep it as long as I’m in the return window. I had a replacement sent out and the DSE was slightly worse than the first TV when comparing them side-by-side. It’s unacceptable and I’m not playing musical chairs with sending it back for a third set. I probably wouldn’t have seen it at all if it wasn’t for me actively using it as a monitor everyday, but I would’ve been really upset seeing this in the future and not being able to return it. See Pictures: The one close up picture I saturated it a bit to show the DSE on the edges (it's not that dark and you can't see that much in the middle in person), but IT IS VERY PRESENT and noticeable. The pictures further away are more accurate to what I see at normal viewing distance, nasty isn't it? 2. I also ran into an annoying problem when my PS4PRO and PC are connected and powered on at the same time with HDMI 2.0 set to “enhanced”, it causes my PS4's video signal to cut in and out making a loud popping sound. It stops when I either unplug or shut down my PC or change the HDMI 2.0 to “standard”. I may shoot down the KS8000, but it DID NOT have this problem and I'm not putting up with this on a brand new TV. 3. The local dimming isn’t very good, Rtings got it right when they said this TV doesn’t handle small bright objects well. It's too aggressive, especially in the corners, a tiny dot will light up too much of a zone and in some cases create intense blooming (not all of the time, but in certain situations). Don't get me wrong, it does preform well in most cases for movies and games, but it'll struggle in some areas (see pictures). Hisense needs to adjust their algorithm because it can't compete with the top FALD competitors. More zones definitely doesn’t mean better performance. All-in-All, Picture Quality Hisense NAILED IT! The quality of the panels and more technical bits, not so much. That's why it's considered budget because of the trade offs the consumer will have to make. The average user will absolutely love this TV, and so do I, but it's marred by the more complicated aspects of what makes the SONY, SAMSUNG, and LG brands premium. It is still one of the best budget TVs you can buy, but for those that are very sensitive to DSE, overly aggressive local dimming and those that will use other devices outside of a game console, will want to look elsewhere until Hisense can iron out these problems. 3* for overall value because you are getting 5* PQ, but 1* for the technical issues and bad panels. I WILL BE UPDATING THIS POST MORE AND MORE, I ACTUALLY REQUESTED A THIRD SET EVEN THOUGH I INITIALLY DIDN'T WANT TO, BUT I HOPE THE THIRD TIME IS REALLY A CHARM. THE PQ IS JUST TOO GOOD TO GIVE UP ON, IF THE DSE IS TOLERABLE I'LL PROBABLY KEEP IT.
