When my 8 year old Vizio P-series 60" died a few weeks ago, I temporarily moved my cheapo Insignia 58" F30 down to my living room for stand-in duty and immediately longed for my old set. The colors were washed out, black levels were terrible, and motion was a joke. Sure, it was fine in the bedroom with a 23' viewing distance and half asleep eyes but it was all but unwatchable day to day.
Best Buy ran a 24 hour flash sale this past Friday, which allowed me to snag the 55" Hisense U6GR for $359. Now that it's home and set up, all I can say is WOW. No, it's not an OLED but for the price I am BLOWN away. The colors are stunning, black levels inky, motion and gradient handling leave little to be desired.
So far, I've only tested HDR content from YouTube and Netflix, but I'll soon find the time to get it hooked up to my Sony X800 Blu-Ray player to get the full experience.
If anyone is looking for an affordable way to get into the HDR game, this set is it.
