Hisense is giving big name brands a run for their money! We now own 3 Hisense TV's. I've always been a big fan of Samsung and trying a brand that was new to the TV market was a little scary; however, for all the bells and whistles that this TV offers stacked up against another brand with same features this TV was half the cost! We've had the 46" Hisense TV for about 6 months. The 65" and a 42" Hisense, we've had for a little over a month. So far so good. Plug and play out of the box, but those who like to tweek I think just about everything in this TV can be! Also, we love all the inputs and we are using most of them!
Can't really comment on Wi-fi features as we have ethernet wired in the house and the 65" has our media center computer hooked to it. TV sound is OK but let's face it if you are considering a 65" TV you would likely have some sort of home theater system. Love the slim design and frame.
3D features are awesome! Even the 2D to 3D conversion looks great! It adds more depth to a 2D movie. But WOW watch a movie that was actually filmed in 3D and things jump out at you! You can tell the difference between a movie that was "remade" in 3D versus a movie that was filmed in 3D. Not the TV's fault by any means just sharing there is a difference. Unfortunately there are not a lot of movies to choose from at this point that were filmed in 3D. Avatar and Step UP Revolution (the 4th movie in Step Up series) were filmed in 3D. There are some others but these two are my favorites for 3D effects.
One thing to mention the 65" is so new that Hisense employees don't know much about it yet. The TV shipped with 2 pairs of active 3D glasses model # FPS3D06. They have active shutters and run on batteries that are not rechargeable. If you want additional pairs of the same model, you will have to order from China. I found them on E-Bay. If you want rechargeable glasses (which we prefer) call Hisense USA and order model FPS3D02. These are interchangeable with the FPS3D06 that come with the TV. If you see on the internet somewhere that model FPS3D05 is compatible with the 65" TV beware they are not! The 05's are RF glasses and do work with our 42" Hisense. The 65" TV transmits an IR signal for 3D glasses.
We are not usually "trail blazers" on new technology but when we saw the price of this TV compared to other brands with same features we thought we'd give them a try. To this point we have not been disappointed. Exceptional TV for an exceptional price!
