Hisense 65U6G vs Samsung Q80/Q80A QLED

Having Dolby Atmos is a joke on TV speakers but I'd say they're decent all things considered. Overall it's not a bad TV. I certainly wouldn't buy it if it were more expensive, but considering how cheap it is, I'd still say give it a go if you're on the fence. Just be aware of the caveats before you dive in

The soundbar works, but I can't use one remote to control volumes, etc. That's disappointing. The 6 speaker sound on the QLED 80A is an improvement over older TVs at this price point, but not as good as a soundbar w/ subwoofer. Wish I could figure this out (if anyone knows the solution, please comment and tell me)

Toggle wifi on TV , change network(and5G) , power cycle TV via cord, and power cycle router . The TV reports the wifi failure is authentication every time. Not sure how that is possible?

So again, if you want that hands-free activation, it is an option, of course, just like any other alexa or google assistant device. You can use a cont...

Then I decided to pair the two Hisense voice remotes with two of my current Roku TV's and they worked immediately. So the Hisense voice remotes have an issue with their own TV. Ultimately, I'm satisfied just using a standard Roku remote for this TV.

Channel and volume keys click up and down, Ambient mode gets its own button as does the mic for voice, and even the Netflix and Amazon app shortcut keys are nicer than on other remotes: They lack garish colors and instead just match the rest of the wand.Ambient mode is designed to show stuff on the screen when you're not watching TV. It's a cool feature if you don't like the big black rectangle of an inert TV, and can display your photos, designer art, the weather, headlines and even adjust backgrounds to match your wall.

I've seen other reviews or complaints about this problem since purchasing it but haven't found a solution yet. Its not terrible just annoying sometimes.

I will update this review if I choose to replace rather than get a refund, fingers crossed the process isn't a nightmare and it can be resolved expeditiously.

The only reason for not giving a 5 star is the Roku part of the TV. Best part of rook is the user interface and the size of the remote, but Sometimes the screen gets frozen due to the Roku instability and that causes abt 10-15 seconds of reboot. The alternative for this issue is to put a separate streaming device(I had a previous Apple TV box), so it works wonderful now. And did I mention that I use external speaker, so I can't comment on the speakers as such

However, Samsung needs to get a better guide for use. Very cumbersome to add channels and does not have app availability like a Roku. It's "atmospheric" screen saver is just awful as are most of the other options. Forget surfing the internet
