A 4K TV for Everyone
Hisense continues to offer premium 4K UHD televisions at a variety of price points, delivering 8.3 million pixels (four times more pixels than standard high-definition TV) and providing everyone the opportunity to have a premium viewing experience. In fact, all of Hisense's 2017 4K UHD televisions feature HDR* processing.

The H7D and H6D Series range from 43" to 65" of affordable 4K UHD TV with HDR* technology.

The H7D 4K UHD Smart TV Series, available in 43", 50" and 55", elevates brightness and color. The Hisense remote control offers one-touch hot keys for quick access to apps like Netflix, YouTube, Vudu and Amazon Video.

The H6D 4K UHD Smart TV Series, available in 43", 50", 55" and 65" has incredibly bright colors, clean lines and rich contrast. The HDR* technology maximizes brightness, while the built-in UHD Upscaler converts lower resolution content as close to 4K as possible.

Quick and Simple Access to the Best Content
Hisense recognizes that without easy access to content, picture quality is irrelevant. The newly redesigned Hisense Smart TV platform offers quick and easy one-touch access to the content consumers want, including a web browser for Hisense brand 4K televisions. In North America, this platform pre-installs the most popular leading apps – including Netflix, Amazon Video, YouTube and VUDU – which can be accessed with the touch of a button on the newly designed remote control. In addition, Hisense Smart TV users can experience content from hundreds of apps through the Opera TV Store that encompass movies and TV shows, music, gaming, lifestyle, fashion, news and more.

For seamless access to 4K content, Hisense has developed 4K Now, a content gallery for 4K movies, trending videos and streaming providers, offering viewers the opportunity to experience the most beautiful content.
