Hisense TVs India Price and availability - Blocked by Hisense!

Do you have professional TV calibrators nearby? Any standard equipment one can buy to calibrate at home?
No idea about professional calibrators or the equipment required. maybe some other members can give this info.You can start with the settings given in rtings or avforums to start with.If you are still not happy with the result then you can hire professional calibrators
 
Hopefully Toshiba.
If Toshiba 65U7980 is a rebranded Hisense 65U7QF a.k.a H8G - Minus the Android OS, then why Hisense priced 65U7QF at 89,999/- i.e approx 30k more than Toshiba 65U7980 ? Is there a catch ? Similarly, I also doubt whether there is a catch with Toshiba U8080 as well? They might also launch H9F as U8080 thinking that we might buy whatever they launch here and most OEMs take us for granted. For now, I am thinking positively that Hisense is launching H9G as Toshiba U8080 at a competitive price. But is there a catch, that's the question here ? I seriously don't know.

Btw, this is a recent review from Rtings on H9G. We can view H9G upclose here.

I don't mind if Toshiba U8080 is a stripped down version of H9G, but for me the panel, hardware and algorithms are very important. I hope it is no different from H9G in Performance.

I guess they downgrade the panels in India. I remeber that panasonic gx800d in uk was a v.a panel. But in india it is an IPS panel. Fingers crossed.

Yes, highly possible that they might downgrade. Looks like its better we wait and save up some more money and stick with Sony/LG may be in future a Samsung and not fall for any gimmicks by Hisense/TCL or VU Garbage. Expecting something great from these companies in India is a curse. The only reason we are talking about these TVs is price.

Its because Toshiba U7980 is in all probability last years H8F.which is a slightly inferior tv to 65U7QF.

I think you are misinformed about toshiba lineup those so called flagships of toshiba 65U7980 and U8080 are last year hisense models h8f and h9f respectively but not 2020 h8g or h9g

But rear of Toshiba U8080 looks exactly like H9G. May be hardware is different. Let's see.

I think this is more likely a downgrade H9G than H9F. Not only the looks but also dimensions of these TVs (H9G and U8080) are very similar.

It is interesting to see at what price point Toshiba launches U8080. If it launches at 1L then it's going to impact the sale of U7QF. If it launches 20-30K higher then it will face tough competition from Sony 950G and sony X900H (1.4-1.45L) range.
 
Hisence just launched 65sx model in Australia . as promised they will launch it in india in this year too.considaring their problems with USA the product may not be launched their .
This is duel cell tv which is more or less equal to oled with 1.88 l mrp.

At 1.88lac, is it not better to just get oled?
Dual cell is just a black and white oled panel behind a normal lcd panel. It'll be good but still not as good as an oled.
 
You are comparing mrp with selling price.oled 65c9 is on 37%disscaunt.i hope with atleast 20-30 % hisence will be much better tech than Fald and close to oled
Also i gone through online reviews like fomo,digital trend etc,it seems that most of them are excited with performance.although it is too early to judge product since it is in launching stage i would love to see somebody crack the monopoly of oled which will result in price reduction.

OLEDs have the burn in fear, dual cell can give better blacks then normal FALDs so very close to OLEDs but without burn in. This TV also comes with 100% DCI P3 coverage so more colors than OLEDs. And final price be a 10-15% cheaper than OLEDs, if not more.

Toshiba U7980 is indeed last year's H8F. It's wouldn't make sense for Hisense to release H8G under it's brand and then under Toshiba's to cannibalize it's own sale. And hence the price difference. But since Hisense is not launching H9G under Hisense, it makes complete sense to launch H9G under Toshiba's brand which atleast have some recognition in India and they can sell it calling it a Japanese Brand in current time of anti-China sentiments.
Toshiba U8080 is indeed Hisense H9G just look at the pictures of both the sets and they are completely same from backside. In front I believe Toshiba just added some soundbar at the bottom to differentiate. Even all the specification matches with the H9G. So looking at all the information we currently have Toshiba U8080 is H9G for sure unless Hisense pulls up a scam.

Hmm.. not in case of U8080. It's pretty much evident that the TV is nothing but a rebranded H9G.
I don't think any company would prefer to take that much effort to make H9F to look like H9G. May be Toshiba pays loyalty behind the scenes. We never knew. But I strongly believe it's a rebranded/trimmed down H9G. Only time will tell.
 
For excellent sound that won't break the bank, the 5 Star Award Winning Wharfedale Diamond 12.1 Bookshelf Speakers is the one to consider!
