    Product Overview

    "

    Whether you’re a movie-marathoner or a box-set binger, what better way to get your screen fix with this 55-inch Hisense MiniLED smart TV? Its 4K Ultra HD screen paired with Quantum Dot Colour tech give you a simply stunning picture whatever you’re watching, with detail so real you could almost touch them. Meanwhile, the clever Hi-View Engine is on hand to give older titles a makeover, bringing them up to the same amazing quality as the latest hits. And Dolby Atmos® audio will surround you with booming bass, epic soundtracks, and subtle whispers in the realistic quality it deserves. You’ll have loads to keep you busy too, since the four HDMI ports let you hook up Blu-ray players, consoles and more.

    We want you to fully enjoy your new TV, so please be careful when unpacking it to avoid putting any pressure on the screen. There are a few different ways to get it out safely, so look for instructions on the box. If you need to return your TV for any reason, we just ask that you don’t pack the plug in front of the screen as it could damage the TV in transit.

    5/5
    Great product for a good price. Better graphics when gaming and amazing sound quality for music and movies. I definitely recommend this product especially for gamers.

    Excellent TV but horrible OS full of uninstallable apps.

    3/5
    The TV itself is perfect for what I wanted it for, excellent picture quality with great colours and great blacks. Voice control is great, works perfectly with all my other Alexa gadgets. The main downside is the Vidaa OS, it comes pre installed with a huge number of apps that cannot be removed. They just clutter the home screen for every single streaming service and channel available. Some of them you can't even get in the UK. They also show the suggested shows for all these apps... not a great feature if you can't watch them. I just wish you could get rid of all this bloated software and let me use my TV how I want to.

      We can collect your old TV and take it away for recycling. Our experts will recycle it safely and responsibly in our state-of-the-art facility.

      The cost of our Remove & Recycle service goes towards safely transporting the product to our recycling plant. Under the WEEE regulations, recycling costs are primarily covered by the product manufacturer.

      Also, while we’re picking up your appliance, if you’ve got any smaller kitchen electricals that need recycling – such as kettles, toasters or blenders – we’ll happily take those away too at no extra charge. Just pass them to your driver when we’re picking up your larger appliance.

      TVs come with quite a bit of bulky packaging. We’ll unpack your item, let you inspect it then take away all of the plastic wrap and foam packaging.
