I bought their 40" Digital LED TV just last weekend from Nakumatt Garden City. The damage was 39K. I had initially settled for a 32" LG counter-part (going for 30K), but after a lengthy chat and some demos from one of the attendants I opted to give Hisense a try (the attendant was in praise of a 32" set going for 23K).
On a side by side comparison, I found the images on the Hisense sets noticeably sharper than the LG I had in mind. It's full HD.
The pricing is their biggest selling point....refer to the figure's I've thrown above. They are being touted as being "offer" prices.
The looks are good, well...make that 'of accepted standard' (who still makes ugly sets in 2015?). The bezel is about an inch thick on the sides & at the top. The bottom is understandably slightly thicker to accommodate the usual sensors/touch-buttons/vanity.
The dimensions are good, with the inevitable bulges neatly tucked away in the right places while still managing to decently pack the speakers somewhere at the back. It comes with wall-mount brackets.
It packs both analogue and digital TV Tuners, 3xHDMI inputs, a USB slot, a SCART interface, an Optical audio output, a PC/DVI VGA interface, a PCMCIA slot alongside the usual outdated video/audio components
The shebang weighs 11kg.
I haven't had enough time to fiddle with the set yet, but so far, I'm impressed. I doubt if it has the PIP function I used to love in a previous Sony set. For the audiophiles, I doubt if the sound quality can beat Sony as well, though I find it acceptable. My 2008 Sony set also had a relay switching circuitry, that effectively ruled out potential electrical damage from our beloved KPLC.
There's an irritating deep blue screen background that I will be seeking to change when I get the chance. I'll also ask some better critic to fiddle with it for a second review.
I noticed that packaging also bears the address : http://www.hisense.ug/, possibly an indicator that It's more established in Uganda compared to Kenya. (Please don't check out that link if you abhor dead links and jack-of-all-trade companies).
