About this deal
For a start, it’s very dim for an HDR TV, with a peak brightness of around 300cd/m² on both a 10% window and full-field in Dynamic mode. In its most accurate picture mode, it’s only able to cover 79% of the DCI-P3 colour gamut, and colour accuracy is poor with an average DeltaE of around 8, well above the visible threshold of 3. The SDR performance is good, the input lag low, the smart platform highly effective, and there’s even Dolby Vision support. In terms of other connections, there are terrestrial and satellite tuners, an AV input (adapter included), an optical digital output, an Ethernet port, two USB ports (2.
As a result of this very sensible design choice, they measure 500mm from the edge of the screen, which means there’s no danger of cables poking out of the side when viewed from the front. The direct-lit VA panel delivers decent contrast and screen uniformity, despite the lack of local dimming, but its optimal viewing angles are narrow. DTS Virtual X: Enjoy an immersive audio without the need for height speakers, the bass perception engages you into the center of a performance. As a result, the overall SDR picture performance is generally impressive, with images that appear well defined and colours that look natural.
Game Mode: Game mode boosts your chances of scoring legendary wins by significantly reducing input lag. This is fairly common with 4,000 and 10,000 nits content, but the A6G was also clipping images graded at 1,000 nits.
Easy Connectivity: With HDMI (ARC), the Hisense HS214 can connect to your TV through a single HDMI cable (included), connect wirelessly via Bluetooth to smart device, and control both with one remote. As a result, the audio performance is perfunctory at best, and the reality is that even a simple single-unit soundbar will deliver a higher quality sonic experience with content like TV shows, movies and games.As you would expect from a modern TV, the slim chassis precludes the use of larger speakers, and the amplification is clearly limited.
