Hisense 55T36 Owners Thread

Any better?
Ian

PS: Try pressing on the LCD at the edges of the frame, and you can see how disturbing the flatness makes the problem worse...
 
Hi Sub

No3 seems to be the best of the bunch..you agree? I spent an hour at HiFiCorp earlier, and we unboxed 2 of the 3 they have in store, and looked at them in a darkish storeroom. Both were bad, but I couldn't make a call as to whether they were worse or better... I have the code for putting the set into service mode, if you're interested. In fact , I'll send you a pm...

I do agree, maybe no.4 will be spot on. I have emailed hificorp and hisense, mentioning that if they google hisense 55T36, the first link they get will bring them here, hopefully that gets them wanting to resolve this issue. I also mentioned the receipt issue, I said that I want it reflecting the 55T36 as R12999 and the 32" as free, as advertised. will let you know what the say.
 
Im glad my eyesight sucks so I wouldnt notice it anyway.
have you tried the hosepipe trick? I hear it works wonders, its the one where you spray it on full for a about 20 seconds... or was that for plants in your garden? I can never remember the difference.

The trick is not to do the trick, thats the trick you see.
 
I have just been contacted by hificorp, they apologised and said that they would try and find me another tv with the same spec. It will be interesting to see what they come back with.
Again, I am very impressed with HifiCorp's customer service, they really seem to be trying.
 
Hificorp and Hisense have offered me the Hisense XT710 as a replacement for the 55T36. Personnally I think this is very good of them, its just a pity the XT710 is an Active 3D tv :(

I think I might just credit the lot and get the LG 47LM5800, game has it on special for R9700. 8 inches is quite a chop though. What to do what to do.
 
Ok, I have returned the Hisense and bought a LG 47LM5800. The blacks are good, still a little light bleed tho. I will upload pics tonight.

I dont think this tv is going to do either though, it has a gloss screen and is SUPER reflective. Daytime viewing in pretty much impossible. Anyway, I guess this is my last post on the 55T36 Owners Thread.
 
You do realise you'll have blacklight bleeding on just about every LCD at full brightness, even at half brightness.

If its that much of a problem for your viewing environment and you must have FPR passive 3D, your best option would be the 2011 LG models, they have matt front filters. Ask them if they have any 47LW5700 or 47LW6510 available to swap.

True to varying degrees, but theres usually little reason to get neurotic about it unless your planning on spending a lot of time watching a black screen in pitch darkness.

With a moving picture on the screen even in low ambient lighting the slight variance in brightness is not going to be perceivable. Only time in practice this can be an issue is if the set has severe uniformity issues in the top/bottom part of the screen and you're watching letterbox format content i.e. uneven brightness in the top/bottom black bars.
 
So, I took the t36 back to HifiCorp and we compared it to 3 other unopened sets in the shop. Mine was definitely the worst of the bunch, so I took the best one home.

We watched a 3d movie last night,and I never found the bleed annoying, so I'll leave the issue now - assuming the set doesn't deteriorate...

Cheers
Ian

I will upload the pics, under the same conditions, ie dark room, same black pic on the tv, you cannot see the TV in the photos, by eye you can see 2 small sections of lightbleed, other then that the screen is black. PQ on this set is fantastic, and the 3D colour representation is superb.
