It's a QLED, which means it has millions of pixels that light up individually for super-sharp images, while Quantum Dot Colour shows over a billion shades, making colours incredibly realistic. That goes for everything from the latest hits to golden oldies, because the Hi-View AI Engine ramps up the settings to get whatever you watch looking as good as possible. Now you can finally tick that classic off your list. This model has Game Mode Plus too, keeping the action in your favourite titles silky smooth without any snags. And with Freely, you won't need to mess about with an aerial to sit down for an evening of live TV. Before unpacking your shiny new TV, please read the instructions on the box to remove it safely and avoid putting any pressure on the screen. If you need to return it, please make sure the plug's not in front of the screen as this can damage it in transit.

FAQs
What is QLED technology and how does it benefit my viewing?
QLED (Quantum Dot Light Emitting Diode) technology uses tiny quantum dots to produce highly pure and vibrant colors. This results in a wider color gamut, increased brightness, and better color accuracy compared to traditional LED TVs, leading to a more lifelike and immersive viewing experience with over a billion shades.
Do I need an aerial to watch TV channels on this Hisense TV?
No, you do not necessarily need an aerial. This TV features the built-in Freely streaming platform, which allows you to access live TV channels and on-demand content directly over your internet connection, eliminating the need for a traditional aerial connection.
How do I activate Filmmaker Mode?
Filmmaker Mode can usually be selected from the picture mode settings in your TV's main menu. Some content, particularly supported movies, may automatically prompt you to switch to Filmmaker Mode. Refer to your TV's on-screen menu or user manual for the specific steps to enable it.
Can I connect a soundbar or external audio system to this TV?
Yes, this TV supports connecting external audio systems. You can typically connect a soundbar or home theater system via an HDMI cable using the HDMI ARC/eARC port, an optical digital audio cable, or in some cases, via Bluetooth.
What is the energy efficiency rating of this TV?
The Hisense 43" E78QTUK QLED Smart AI TV has an energy efficiency class of 'G'. This rating indicates its power consumption relative to its size and features. You can find more detailed energy consumption figures in the product specifications or the TV's energy label.
How should I clean the screen of my Hisense QLED TV?
To clean the screen, first turn off the TV and unplug it. Use a soft, dry, lint-free microfiber cloth to gently wipe away dust and smudges. For stubborn marks, slightly dampen the cloth with pure water or a specialized screen-cleaning solution (never spray directly onto the screen). Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
Troubleshooting
TV won't turn on or has no power.
Ensure the power cable is securely plugged into both the TV and a working wall outlet. Try plugging another device into the same outlet to confirm it has power. Check the remote control batteries and try pressing the power button directly on the TV.
No picture or sound from a connected device (e.g., game console, Blu-ray player).
Verify that the correct input source is selected on the TV (e.g., HDMI 1, HDMI 2). Check that the HDMI cable is securely connected to both the TV and the external device. Try a different HDMI port or cable if available. Ensure the external device is powered on.
Wi-Fi connectivity issues or streaming apps not loading.
First, check your home Wi-Fi router to ensure it's working correctly and other devices can connect. Restart your Wi-Fi router by unplugging it for 30 seconds and plugging it back in. On the TV, go to network settings and try reconnecting to your Wi-Fi network. If issues persist, try restarting the TV.
Picture quality is not as expected (e.g., blurry, colors seem off).
Check the source content's resolution; lower resolution content may not look as sharp. Adjust the picture settings in the TV's menu (e.g., brightness, contrast, sharpness, color). Ensure Filmmaker Mode is off if you prefer a more vivid, processed picture for general viewing. For optimal 4K content, ensure your source device and cables support 4K output.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup:
Unboxing: Carefully remove the TV from its packaging. It is recommended to have two people for this process.
Mounting: Choose between installing the included stand (refer to the user manual for specific instructions and screw types) or mounting the TV to a wall using a compatible VESA wall mount (sold separately). Ensure the wall mount can support the TV's weight.
Connections: Connect the power cable to the TV and a wall outlet. Connect any external devices (gaming consoles, soundbars, set-top boxes) using HDMI cables to the appropriate ports.
First-Time Setup Wizard: Power on the TV. Follow the on-screen instructions to connect to your Wi-Fi network, set up channels (if using an aerial, though Freely minimizes this need), accept terms, and install any initial updates.
Compatibility:
HDMI Devices: Compatible with all standard HDMI devices, including gaming consoles, Blu-ray players, streaming sticks, and soundbars.
Wi-Fi: Requires a stable Wi-Fi internet connection for smart features and the Freely platform. Compatible with common Wi-Fi standards.
Audio Systems: Supports connection to external sound systems via HDMI ARC/eARC, optical audio, or Bluetooth (if available on the TV model).
Care & Maintenance:
Screen Cleaning: Gently wipe the screen with a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth. For stubborn marks, lightly dampen the cloth with water or a screen-cleaning solution specifically designed for TVs. NEVER spray liquid directly onto the screen.
General Cleaning: Dust the TV frame and vents regularly with a dry cloth to prevent dust buildup, which can affect performance.
Ventilation: Ensure proper airflow around the TV. Do not block ventilation openings.
Environment: Avoid exposing the TV to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, or high humidity. Do not place heavy objects on top of the TV.
Power Efficiency: As the TV is Energy Efficiency Class G, consider utilizing power-saving modes available in the settings and turning off the TV when not in use to manage energy consumption.
