'Astonishing picture quality' Hisense TV drops in price ahead of Amazon Prime Day
The Hisense TV has been described by shoppers as a best buy and 'everything beyond expectations' Buying a new TV can feel like an enormous undertaking. They're something of an essential in homes - the centrepiece of the living room, the one-stop shop for all things entertainment - so choosing the right one is an important decision. However, with so many options out there at a range of price points, it's a delicate balance between cheap and not-so-cheerful and a splurge on a feature-packed telly. That said, Amazon currently has a great deal on a Hisense 55-inch Smart TV that can stream everyone's favourite shows - it's now £260 down from £364.73 in an early Amazon Prime Day deal. The TV has a 4K resolution, perfect for movie-lovers and gamers - and boasts crisp, vivid colours. It's also equipped with Dolby Atmos sound, which works by precisely placing the sounds and moving them around all around the viewer for an immersive, natural experience. If the Hisense TV isn't quite what shoppers are after, they could try something a tad smaller like this LG 43-inch 4K TV from Argos, now £179.99 down from £199.99. This Smart TV has an easy-to-use interface so shoppers can find all of their favourite shows and films across all manner of channels and streaming services, and has a slim and sleek design that fits seamlessly into any living room. Over at Samsung, there are also a few money-saving deals to choose from. It's currently offering cashback on OLED TV sets, as well as up to £500 cut off the price for shoppers with an old TV at home. However, Amazon's great deal on the Hisense TV has been snapped up by shoppers who've given it a 4.4 star rating. One buyer said: "Absolutely outstanding TV, one of my best buys. Had over a year now and can't fault it, the picture for the price is amazing. Gaming on my PS5 Pro is a joy and watching films with Dolby Atmos is a dream." Another said: 'This has been one of my best buys, everything beyond expectations.' A third added: 'I bought this 65-inch Hisense TV to enhance my gaming experience, and I am absolutely satisfied with it. The picture quality is astonishing, thanks to the Quantum Dot Colour technology, which offers vivid and brilliant colours like never before. Even the details in 4K are clear and well defined, making every game session and movie a real pleasure for the eyes.' However, some found the telly was not quite to their liking. One shopper said: 'We chose this TV because it had good reviews saying you could do away with your soundbar as the TV speakers are so good. Unfortunately, to get the cinema experience when you crank the sound up past 14, you start to get vibration from the rear panel of the TV, which appears to be a loose fit. I've checked all screws and they are tight so I've had to resort to make shift measures to reduce this annoyance. I think if you wall mounted it wouldn't matter quite so much as the rear panel would be held tight by TV wall bracket but I'm guessing. Ours is on the stand.' Another said: 'TV itself is ok, but it's plagued by the operating system, like all other brands. How difficult is it to put together an OS that works?' That said, for those looking for a steal on a new TV, this Amazon Prime Day deal on the Hisense 55-inch Smart TV is well worth a look.

Hisense's latest smart air conditioner is on sale for just $249.99
Staying cool during the summer is about more than comfort; being overly hot can accelerate the aging process and be the difference between life and death. The NIH has guidance on how to handle hot weather, including a recommendation to stay in a place with air conditioning, if possible. Luckily for those in warmer climates, Hisense's BTUWC08W25A, its latest smart air conditioner, is on sale for $249.99 ($50 off) at Amazon, which is its lowest price ever. I've tested a previous-gen window air conditioner from Hisense, and was impressed at how easy it was to set up and use. The 8,000 BTU WC08W25A can fit into windows that are at least 13.6 inches high and between 24.5 and 39 inches wide. It cools down your entire room more evenly by pushing air in four directions simultaneously, which can help you feel cooler faster, given the way warm air rises. You can control the four-mode air conditioner with a remote, touch-sensitive buttons, or the ConnectLife App, assuming it's connected to your Wi-Fi network. Using the mobile app allows you to manage your air conditioner from anywhere. You can turn it on when you're returning home, which can help reduce your utility bill and ensure the room is cool when you enter. If you have a regular schedule, you can also set it to automatically turn on and off at specific times. The WC08W25A is designed to cool rooms up to 350 square feet, but Hisense offers similar models with the same features that are appropriate for areas double that size.

Panasonic's 2025 TVs are getting one of the neatest new features — LG and Samsung should copy it
Panasonic is a true innovator for displays and it's once more thinking outside of the box for its 2025 TV lineup. Last year, it brought some incredible enhancements to TV audio, and this year, it's re-thinking how your TV will talk to your PC. With some help of CEC (Consumer Electronics Control), the Panasonic Z95B OLED will turn on when your laptop turns on, or turn off automatically once you shut it down. That's not typically the case for most monitors, which will simply just turn off after a long period of time when there's no signal available to the display port connection. And while you could get some CEC-like functionality for PCs used with a TV before now, it was complicated to set up. But Panasonic has figured out a bi-directional solution using regular cables. Probably without knowing it, CEC is a feature that you use several times a day. Whenever you turn on a gaming console and it also turns on your TV, or even control volume levels with a streaming stick — that's the magic of CEC. Before now, a unified control scheme often required special CEC dongles or even finnicky GitHub procedures to make it all work smoothly. But its applications to PCs have been limited. Before now, a unified control scheme often required special CEC dongles or even finnicky GitHub procedures to make it all work smoothly. Suffice it to say, these are major deal breakers for most users. While using a PC with a TV might be niche, Panasonic's new CEC solution makes controlling the two even easier and streamlines that connective tissue between both devices. If you're someone who hasn't thought about using a TV as a monitor, you're missing out. TVs have started to take up even loftier refresh rates in an effort to boost their appeal. LG and Samsung are fighting for dominance among the best gaming TVs with the LG G5 OLED and Samsung S95F OLED, which both come equipped with a 165Hz refresh rate — a rare first for TVs. Hisense has also added 165Hz to its entire 2025 TV lineup, minus its cheapest U6QG Mini-LED TV. What's even more interesting is that Hisense kitted its U8QG and U9QG models with a USB-C input for charging and video passthrough, proving just how committed Panasonic is to making the PC experience better on its TVs. Some makers are even playing with dynamic refresh rates in different resolutions. Samsung's QN990F 8K TV is a first adopter, letting you game at 4K resolution up to 240Hz with its Motion Xcelerator feature. Of course, you'll need a pretty powerful PC for this, but at least TCL's got you covered with similar technology at lower refresh rates. PC gaming is inarguably the most popular use case for connecting a PC to a TV, and one of the main reasons why I replaced my PC monitor with an LG C4 OLED last year. One of the biggest complaints I had was the very same power delivery concerns that Panasonic is aiming to fix on its new sets. If it works as intended, this improved CEC functionality could give Panasonic TVs an edge against the competition when used alongside a variety of different devices, including laptops, tower PCs, and Mini PCs. I personally use my Mini PC with a TV all the time, as it allows me to write, watch movies and shows, edit videos, and (the best part) play video games from the comfort of my couch. Once Panasonic's 2025 models hit shelves, I won't have to fumble for the remote when they're booting their PC up or shutting the TV off when they're done. It's all baked into the experience and totally streamlined. Samsung and LG, if you're reading this, I hope next year's models will all have something similar baked into them.

Hisense QLED Smart TV with £100 off is shopper's 'best buy' as they urge others to snap it up
"Absolutely outstanding TV, one of my best buys. Had over a year now and can't fault it" While there are many pieces of tech available to watch your favourite TV show or the latest film release on, nothing beats curling up on the sofa or in bed and watching it on the telly. With the bigger screen, viewers can take in more details while munching on their favourite snacks. The added bonus about new TVs is that they come with a smart element which allows viewers easy access to all their favourite streaming services with a click of a button. For those in the market for a new TV, Amazon has cut more than £100 off a popular option. The Hisense 55-inch QLED Smart TV usually retails for £364.73, but shoppers can now snap it up for £260 in a limited time deal. For those wanting the ultimate viewing experience, this Hisense TV is equipped with Quantum Dot colour and Dolby Vision. While the Quantum Dot technology provides bright and precise colour, the Dolby Vision allows viewers to watch any show or film with ideal detail, enhanced colours and deeper blacks. On top of this, TV is also equipped with Dolby Atmos to deliver an immersive listening experience. Shoppers will feel as though they are in the TV as the device uses technology to let you feel and hear the sounds all around you. Hisense 55 Inch QLED Smart TV Product Description In terms of features, as a VIDAA Smart TV, users will have access to over 150 broadcast, cable, satellite, DTV and streaming services at their fingertips. This means shoppers will never be able to complain about not having something to watch or being unable to access a service. Another TV receiving a discount from Amazon is the TCL 55-inch QD-Mini LED TV. Normally retailing for £599, shoppers can now snap it up for £499. With backlight technology, this TV is said to deliver 'astonishingly vivid visuals with lifelike colours'. Alternatively, Argos has put the Samsung 43 Inch Smart 4K UHD HDR LED TV down to their 'lowest price ever' of £199. With Samsung's Crystal Processor 4K, users can upscale their favourite content to 4K Ultra HD for an impressive viewing experience. Back to the Hisense TV, shoppers have awarded it a 4.4 star rating, with some saying it is the "best" purchase they have made in a long time. One happy shopper said: "Absolutely outstanding TV, one of my best buys. Had it over a year now and can't fault it. "The picture for the price is amazing, gaming on my PS5 Pro is a joy and watching films with Dolby Atmos is a dream. Buy one." With another five-star reviewer adding: "Had this TV since October 2023, it's June 2025 I'm writing this review. This has been one of my best buys, everything beyond expectations. Can't believe some of the reviews with negative comments. For the price there is no better tv, highly recommend." However, some shoppers noted a few issues. One person wrote: "Picture clarity is great. Proper gaming mode too. Sound can be a bit patchy, but I run mine through external speakers. Great design too for a 55 inch TV." With another person commenting: "The only thing I have issue with is the smart tv features, I find that they are slow to respond which is a little annoying. If you don't intend to use these features though I highly recommend!" Despite this, another top reviewer added: "For under £500 this TV is phenomenal value. I got the 55" version. It came very well packaged with polystyrene inserts protecting the TV edges and the screen. The picture out of the box is great. With very little tweaking it's excellent. "Watching dolby vision videos on YouTube really shows off what this tv can do. Crisp whites and black blacks. It really is above my expectations. Where this TV REALLY stands out is gaming. My xbox series X has never looked sharper, smoother or deeper. The sense of depth while gaming, and sharpness and smoothness of graphics are really put front and centre."
