The review correctly states “its SDR accuracy is abysmal”, so how can this get a passing grade or even higher (7.3) for mixed usage, TV shows (7.2), and a high grade (8.1) for PC monitor use? “This TV’s pre-calibration accuracy is terrible. It’s way too cold even on its warmest setting, and blues are extremely overrepresented in almost all shades of gray (…)” For the described use cases, where most of the content is in SDR, this product is basically insufficient unless you spend money and effort to calibrate it yourself. This has also got to pose some sort of risk to eye health. And it means what HiSense write on their website must be wrong: “all of our TV’s are low blue light certified so will be kinder on your eyes”- https://uk.hisense.com/blog/which-hisense-tv-is-perfect-for-binge-watching-and-why At least it doesn’t flicker like hell, which Samsung The Frame does (despite strangely getting a 9.9 rating for this from RTINGS, only one mode works properly).

Thanks for the feedback and I fully agree with you, it shouldn’t get a passing grade. We have a new methodology update for TVs coming later this week, and I can tell you now that this TV no longer gets a passing grade on the new methodology and scoring, mixed usage drops to a 5.9, for example.

As for the eye health, we can’t really comment on that. Hisense releases different models in different regions, so there’s a possibility that that certification only applies to EU/UK models, since you’re linking to the UK Hisense page.

The 24p judder results seem to be copied from the Samsung The Frame review: “The Samsung The Frame 2024 automatically removes judder from all sources when watching movies or shows that are in 24p, even if they’re in a 60Hz signal, as long as you have the ‘Motion Enhancement’ settings set to ‘Film’.”

Thank you for pointing that out! It’s been fixed.
