[Personal Experiences] Hisense TV's

Whats the difference between the Hisense Q7f and Q7wf?
On the rtings website the H8G looks the same as the Q7wf.
 
I have a Hisense 58A6100UW, purchased last year. It's been working well with Netflix and DSTV Go, until this morning, when we noticed the DSTV Go App is gone, and I cant reload it through the appstore.

I'm trying my luck by asking if anyone by chance have a firmware upgrade/downgrade for this model?

EDIT - I just did a hard reset and everything went back to normal

Thanks guys. Went to the store to check out the q70 and it was stunning.
 
I was just about to buy 1 too. With 3k on delivery it's less of a no brainer. Also worried about what that means for returns etc.

Guess it's back to deciding between the hisense Q8600, u8qf or the Skyworth OLED...

For Durban i was also R3k freight via the store. Just had a look into the normal courier i use (Internet Express) & plugged in what package dimensions i can find & looks like i can get it here for sub R1000, Road freight sub R500.
Guess that still beats the local Makro pickup for R17k.
Might have to suss out tomorrow with the store the what if's should something go faulty.
 
Wait!

So I did some digging. And called a reputable distributer of Samsungs (don't want to mention names). He told me that from Monday next week, ALL of the samsung distributers (Takealot, Tafelberg, Herch's etc) will be running the Q70T at R12,999 for the week. While stocks last.

Then thats rather deceptive from the retailers. A lot of them are pushing the Q60T at a "discounted price now".

Even at the “discounted” price the Q60T is too expensive seeing as it’s not an upgrade from the Q60R which was around 15k for the 55 inch. The Q70T is the Q60R upgrade and so the RRP of 20k+ for the 55 inch Q70T is ridiculous. It doesn’t have local dimming or support Dolby Vision (though does have HDMI 2.1 I think) So it makes sense from Samsung to discount it to shift stock. It isnt selling. The huge saving, from 20k to 13k, makes it tempting, but to me, it’s still 3k too much for a 55 inch TV at the end of the day. I would rather get bigger tv for 13k+ and sacrifice the bells and whistles. The one to get is the Q80 but, at 30k, that’s OLED territory.
 
Is there a 65” equivalent (any brand) of the Q70T, in terms of quality?

It's up to each person to decide. I prefer quality picture over screen size (all price dependent). Your eyes adjust pretty quickly to size.
 
Then prices on all TVs were artificially increased so that do.e black Friday they could sell them at sale prices, which is the price they should have been in the first place. So nobody is actually getting a special price and they are still making the normal profits.

Imho
 
There's currently a 65" Hisense (65A7200F) on the Takealot Unboxed Deals page:

Yeah, it’s personal preference. I have a 55 inch at the moment and so the next TV has to be a size up. Quality is important but it’s not like the entry level 4K TVs from the reputable brands are bad. The jump in price to the so-called better TVs sold by these brands is not worth it for me.

Same reason Im looking for a size up. But, struggling to find a 65" model in the <20k range which is worth it.
