Wonder if it's any good, or a Westinghouse type iffy proposition? Could be the leds have become so commoditized that it's as good as any even mid tier type lcd/led tv?

I always thought hisense was a step below vizio.

Anyone have some they care to share or can point me in the right direction? Since this looks like the only thread for Hisense I'm going to assume there is no dedicated thread for the model F42K20E that I can post to.

The problem is what happens a year and a half or so down the road when they are much more likely than the major brands to start malfunctionning and you find there are no replacement parts available, so unless you're a pretty talented diy guy you've got a $699 doorstop. Even this isn't a problem if you have the disposable income to go out and buy another Hi Sense, Polaroid, Pro Scan, Olevia, Shakibutsu or whatever off-brand bargain set is available.


If, on the other hand, you work hard for a living and scrimp and save to buy a new tv, you probably don't have the money to replace it when it craps out prematurely--so that name brand entry level 50" plasma or 46" lcd is, in fact, the better investment for a main tv.


This isn't brand snobbery, it's common sense.



It seems you are not familiar with this brand at all. For an example , it is very popular in Australia. Build quality , components , motherboard etc , are high quality and failing rate is way to low than many other major manufactures. Hisense now is rolling out 4K TV with Android 4.0 OS, and ULTRA D technology for glasses free 3D . I believe people want to know and accept only local brands , and don't go any further. So , I can assure you that this TV will last as long /if not even more/ than other popular brands.

Why not a forum section for Hisense where we can then create posts for each model?

I actually wish you guys luck with your new sets, after all if nobody ever took a chance on a cheap lesser known brand we wouldn't have Toyotas or Hondas.

The only complaint about it I've heard is the same complaint about 120hz sets: they exhibit the soap opera effect (SOE). I don't understand the complaint; I don't have any problem with it.

From Wikipedia: [Hisense] Color televisions were manufactured through the purchase of a production line from Matsushita
