Steve, thanks for the nice review. It seems like a very nice TV considering the price.
Would you consider the cheaper Sony to be at the same level of this Hisense? By that I mean regarding uniformity, colour and image quality in general.
Great Review Steve. Its impressive the amount of zones they have on this TV. As you said though its not all about zones but about how they control it. It makes me wonder what the Samsung would be like if it had 1000 zones. I would imagine the reason other companies don't push a huge amount of zones is cost so its impressive what Hisense have managed here. I would imagine its because they cut costs in other areas. I feel like 1000 zones or so would be a sweet spot for a high end LCD especially if they have the processing and software to use that to the best of its ability. At least until Mini LED comes along which at the moment is too costly according to Samsung.
I didn't review the XF90, but Phil was very impressed by it.Steve, thanks for the nice review. It seems like a very nice TV considering the price.

I don't believe that true, I think Hisense have been delivering improvements year-on-year. The problem is the U9A has the most zones, the widest colour gamut, and the brightest panel of any TV released to date. Delivering all that effectively is a big ask for any manufacturer, and Hisense are probably guilty of trying to run before they can walk at the higher end of the market.Seems like Hisense really aren't moving forward with their refinements year on year - on specs this should absolutely murder the XF90 and be right up there with the best ...
Seems decent value at that price.
The big question from me is, can that god awful stand be removed allowing it to be wall mounted? It looks integrated with that sound bar, thus would look silly on the wall with it stick out.
EDIT: Seems like the looped front metal stand is detachable, but the lower wedge soundbar is part of the main TV and has the tv control built in. Would need to see one to assess how it would look, but from pictures that sticky out soundbar wedge does look pants.
Hi I did see the Samsung at £1699, not seen the Hisense in person either. Would love to hear more thoughts about it. What’s your thought on the Sony at £300 more. I think this will come down as new models come out around May.
The X900F is being carried over this year so don't think you will see the price budge that much as it won't be reaching end of line until this time next year ...
This has just been reduced to £1,499 at Currys.Pretty much unheard of price for a flagship 75".
2 year warranty included.
Just finished work and checked. No stock, did you buy at that price?
No mate - not a chance that I could fit that size in my flat. It was a no-brainer if you were after that size though and it looks like a couple of folks managed to order it at that price according to the thread on HUKD.
Well the 65 inch is now on sale for £949, £500 discount code
