Hi, I can confirm this. I am on Software Version J1127 and when watching Dolby Vision content, no matter what settings I try, the backlight option is always greyed out. It would be amazing if Hisense could fix this.

Hisense Q8600 Thread

Hey everyone. I'm having some trouble installing firmware J1127 and I'm wondering if anyone can help. The TV detects the firmware on the flash drive but when I hit reboot to install, it just restarts the TV and does not change anything.

Where did you get the firmware from? And what version are you on now?
From the second reply on this thread. I'm currently on J1114.

Ok, not sure what the issue could be. Is the flash drive clean with no other files on it?

Just took my new samsung 58tu7000 to my inlaws to compare to their brand new hisense 55q8600. Firstly the tu7000 is crap on hdr. Hisense is much brighter and have much better color range and contrast. All in all I had the hisense b8000 until recently and having brought this tu7000 for R7999 on special from makro has made me very unhappy. Definitely returning it tomorrow and looking for either the b800 again or the q8600.

Anyone on here ever actually tested the HDR peak brightness of the Q8600?
I've read it's 1000 cd/m. Is this true?

It more than likely won't get one again. My N5000 from 2017 only got one update and never again.
What is latest version. Don't think my auto update via TV has ever worked.

I got it from the Hisense rep that was on here.

Latest version is J1127.
However you will need to contact Hisense so they can send this to you.

If i'm not mistaken, we should still be getting the vidaa version 4 update this year.

One can see a lot of Android TV influences that they have incorporated (which isn't a bad thing).
Checked TV now and obviously the TV is not updating for what ever reason. Says I’m on J1114.
Even If I try update says I have latest version . Why would it have a system update option if it does not update?

Assumption is that J1127 is a beta firmware (or something similar) seeing as Hisense will provide it only if requested.
