    There is a common scam going on with Ebay, Aliexpress, and any site that allows third party sellers. You buy something, and they provide you with someone else's tracking number and never send out the item. Which is why the tracking address information doesn't match the seller's nor the buyers. It happens to me several times a year. Luckily I've never had a problem with my credit card company refunding me the money.

    Hey Y’all,
    Just wanted to clear up some confusion.
    First thing, I didn’t say Xiaomi was an obscure brand. They are everywhere and obviously I’ve heard of them.
    Secondly, I know I got scammed, the only reason I didn’t cancel the order the moment the guy asked for more money for shipping, was for the content. That shit is dodgy as hell. The only reason I reacted positively to the Xiaomi was because it was from a reputable brand. To be honest, I wasn’t even really expecting to get a TV at all.
    Hope this clears it up. Loooove you, bye (edit was to respond to concern in video)

While Samsung manages this well enough it feels like Xiaomi is spreading itself so thin that support for those products is effectively nonexistent at times.

Walked into a target 5 min away, picked up the tv, paid $280 USD and put it in my room. So far it was a good decision. Love playing games on my PC with it now that I can use 2k/4k resolutions

      My experience with the 4k TCL has been kinda bad.
      The TV crashes frequently, and the HDR introduces some bizarre issues with 1080p signals, primarily a massive green/purple fullscreen glitch. Imagine running an ega game on a 43" TV with 4 colors. Green, purple, darker purple, and scalding red. Now imagine that at literal random, switching to any resolution other than 4k 60hz causes this glitch, regardless of source.
      It's frustrating.
      Oh and the "no buttons, cheap speakers" thing kinda sucks too.

    I recently got myself LG 43UP81003LR, and I'm surprised to see a cheaper HiSense of the same size seems to have more connecting ports there... which is actually a problem for me since I use component input for Wii sometimes, and needed to get a converter from Amazon, and if I want to connect a laptop or something I need to disconnect something since other two HDMI ports are taken by other consoles on my LG... I can only hope that my TV makes up for the lacking connections with better screen quality(It has a VA display... so almost definitely has better contrast and brightness than HiSense... but pays for it with horrible viewing angles that forced me to get a long wall mount that can rotate it for me XD), but it's not like I can compare XD

Two: That Hisense will never make it to its second birthday. They have TERRIBLE powersupplies. Sold about 5 to clients cause they looked amazing at a great price. One failed in the first year. All four of the remaining died before 20 months or so. The one that died under warranty, took Hisense MONTHS to repair. By that time the client had replaced it. The Hisense contracted repair guy called it complete garbage.

    You should try activating the PC mode on those TVs. Some TVs have a toggle in the menu others have it hidden like my Samsung set. If you have no obvious option the try relabelling the HDMI channels to "PC" and see if you get a change in the fine tweaking menu. On my TV for example it gives me full access to all the colour temp controls so I adjusted out the orange hue that TVs are set up with so they look OK in shop displays. PC mode is the lowest latency mode on a TV, lower than game mode.

    !!! IMPORTANT: Do not change Sharpness from center (e.g. 50 if range is 0-100) with digital (discrete pixel) programming !!! It's often only for analog. Early LCD TVs used the analog circuits for HD CRT TVs (yes, they existed) and did not disable Sharpness in LCD sets, so moving Sharpness away from center in either direction blurred the picture using Analog methods. (one being the famous name I can't remember for adjusting the electron beams. It's some matrix-like math, I think, but in an analog way).

    Knowing Dawid and noticing the "Dolby Vision" logo on the HiSense TV I assume there was some misconfiguration (we saw you disabling and then re-enabling power saving mode) that causes the HDR capable HiSense to be dimmer than the (non-HDR?) chinese ripoff commonly known as Xiaomi.
