They brought me a voucher that I had to go to a website to reimburse, then a third party will contact me. This was for the 65U7QF for R9999 on the vodabucks

From your purchase to delivery, how long did the whole thing take?

Did they phone you? I'm just a bit weary about the phone call, because I don't generally answer the marketing spam calls.

Also bought the 65" U7QF from Vodacom. Took a while to order because their app is crap and wouldn't load, finally managed to buy it at 11pm on Sunday. Voucher was delivered this morning (outlying area), I redeemed the code, and Digital Planet phoned me within an hour. Delivery is scheduled for Friday.

I am upgrading from a 10 year old 42" Sinotec which is slowly dying. So I hope to be amazed by this TV. I am using a Mibox (original) connected to the TV. Is it worth using the Vidaa system on the Hisense? We only watch Plex, Netflix, DSTV Now and Youtube.

What else do I need, I assume an HDMI 2.0 cable for best display? Looking at getting a soundbar as well later on to replace the Bluray player and speakers. Is the Hisense 2.1 any good. It is a large room so it needs to have high volume.

You would yes need an hdmi 2 cable. I can't comment on the sound bar, but strangely enough the sound from the TV isn't too bad.

Did you receive a call for the voucher to be delivered? If so, do you remember what the phone number was?

Yes, the local RAM courier phoned me this morning to check if I was home. This was from an 066 number. Digital planet phoned from a normal 011 JHB number.
 
Okay even though I've had my 58N5000UW for over 3 years, it's now actually getting a proper workout since it's in the bedroom. Cause I don't know since the lockdown started a year ago I've been watching TV more in the room. My old LED50P36 went to a friend and hopefully they will be mounting it soon, will help them get the colour calibration right.

Do they open the TV box to show you that it is in good condition? Or is that part a lucky packet once you yourself unbox it?

Mine is supposed to be delivered between tomorrow and Tuesday only. On the phone they said to open the box with the courier to check for physical damage. And then you must notify them as soon as possible of damage thereafter.

Yes besides the 120fps, everything else got ticked. I had a 58"n5000 in the lounge and the 65u7qf is a bit better.

Depends if you want 4k and/or 120hz or if you're happy with 4k at 60 hz.

That TV will do 4k and 60 hz which should be fine for most people.

But if you want 120 hz then you need a TV supports the higher refresh rate. And if you want a TV that does 4k and 120 hz together then you need something with HDMI 2.1.

For example my old LG SJ850 could do 4k@60 or 1080p@120, but not 4k@120. For that you need a TV with HDMI 2.1 ports. And the cheapest HDMI 2.1 TVs you can get are the Samsung Q70T or LG NANO86...
