Hisense Q8600 Thread

Has anyone been able to get casting to work? Trying to play YouTube music on the tv and it’s super buggy. Sometimes it just hangs trying to connect, other times it starts the YouTube app but then becomes unresponsive. Tried both an apple and android device and the results are the same. I’m on the latest K firmware.

I have been able to cast perfectly with my onplus phone. Set cast to "mirror" and it picks up the TV (have to be in the cast any device menu on the TV though) ... No issues here

Try do a factory reset, that should turn on the settings that ship this way by default.

Where is that menu option?
 
I have the option of getting a second have Q8600 from a buddy or a U7WF for the same price. Which of the 2 do you guys think will be the most bang for my buck for image quality?

The q8600 is quantum dot, whereas the u7wf isn't.

Is it a noticable difference? Would the cons of the Q8600 make me feel like I should have tried the U7WF? For reference I'm coming from a A6100

I'm not sure to be honest, I think the u7wf would be a step up from the a6100 as it's ULED.

Hello, could someone advise me, it is worth as of today March 2021 to buy the Q8600 or better to buy the U7QF. I have read that the u7qf has had problems with movement in action movies, did the Q8600 have a better treatment of movement?

I have had zero issues with my Q8600. Image quality is great and the TV looks good as well.

Apparently there is a firmware update that fixed the motion issue, will let you know on Monday or thereabout.

Hi all.

I have the 65 Q8600 and after going through this thread what I will say is this is an awesome bang for buck TV. Comparing to the Panasonic 65inch we have in the house and my mates 65 LG nanocell, they cannot touch this tv.

Quick question though, I see some debate on the gaming at 120Hz at a lower framer ate. Is it possible to game at 1440P or 1080p at a framerate higher than 60Hz? Realistically I wouldn't be ultra disappointed as this tv cost me under 16K. If I paid 30k for a TV I would expect it to run 4k at 120Hz. Can anyone provide clarity on this and their gaming experience in general on this tv?

I tried this with pc and worked on 1080p at 120hz.

Not sure if it will work for next gen consoles.
