Consumer review (newegg.com)

You get what you pay for.

Inexpensive. It's a TV with picture quality as described and a solid remote control.

The apps available are pretty underwhelming. You get Netflix but among the apps available, that's the only one I'd imagine anyone would ever use.

Hisense 40H5 40" LED 1080p Smart TV

I've had this Hisense LED TV for just over 30 Days. This TV is a JOKE and a piece of JUNK! I bought this from Newegg Refurbished for $269.00 plus a $50.00 extended 2-year warranty. I read that Hisense is a Hitachi re branded?? As to why this alleged...

Newegg's Great Customer Service. TV arrived a week early. Very Good Internet Connection, Fast with Youtube or Netflix.

Picture Quality is a joke. The TV actually Ghosts, and is Blurry. Changed HDMI Cables to High Speed Roswell 550 MHz-4k ready cables, but no difference. Have to adjust each channel, settings won't stay set. Firmware update already installed on the LED...

Refurbished: Hisense H5 Series 40"

The white flashing line across the bottom of the TV is so distracting, you can't watch any letterbox movie or TV Show. On top of that, the auto Dimming drives me crazy. Every time you change the channel, the picture goes dim, then brightens up! Who...

Price, Newegg's great Customer Service.

Watching Hi-Def shows that are Letter-Box, there is a white flashing line that starts at the bottom left of the screen and flashes back and forth all the time. Tried switching HD Cables, adjusting settings on TV....nothing worked. Even if the movie or...

Fine TV

Not bad TV for the color, resolution and color. Price is good. I have no trouble with it since my purchase. Used everyday as my computer monitor. Not often for watching TV though

Sometimes it changes the color tone. Do not know why

Hmmm So So

Bottom line the TV is a great price if you're looking for a smart TV with streaming from CPU to your TV, as I paid $225.00 for the TV with tax and shipping. If the service department would send out a Netflix fix it would be great but I'm not holding my...

TV shows a great picture for the price. Network capability with streaming your movies from a computer to this TV, You Tube, 3 HDMI ports and other port.

I purchased this TV to place in my kitchen to have something to watch while cooking. TV was a great price and cost as much as an under the cabinet TV. I wanted the smart TV function on the TV to be able to stream Netflix along with connection it to my...

Respectable

I vacillated between 3/4 eggs; settled on 4 given the price point. Inferior picture to my 5 year old mid-range LG plasma - especially with darks/blacks. Not offensive but doesn't 'wow' either. Current generation of LCD/LED panels are noticeably better....

Nice picture, good selection of ports, acceptable sound, feels solid, runs cool, serviceable remote, sturdy stand. No observable motion blur on broadcast TV (eg: sports)

Horrible 'smart' functions; slow to respond and dated in appearance. Frequent freezes. Poor viewing angles. Picture quality varies depending on content (best with sports, not so hot on darker scenes). Takes several seconds to power up; Hisense logo...

Hisense 40H5

Very nice picture, decent speakers, good selection of inputs

The "smart" aspect of this TV left me with much to be desired. Apps were limited, flaky, and often the menu system would hang, necessitating cycling power. I added a ChromeCast dongle for 25 bucks, and life is good. Can't complain about it much,...
