Big screen fun
When it comes to TV screens, bigger is best. With its 85-inch LED screen, it offers a breathtaking picture clarity and pin-sharp image quality, thanks to its 4K UHD resolution that provides four times more pixels than traditional Full HD. It handles moderate amounts of light well, but considering it doesn't get bright, it's best to avoid placing it in a bright room. Take time to read how to open the box and use the part of the packing inside to act as a stand to attach the legs.

It doesn't display a wide range of colors in HDR either, so colors don't look vivid, and it doesn't deliver a satisfying HDR experience.

The Hisense has a few more features like the ability to remove judder from 24p sources and display chroma 4:4:4, which the Toshiba can't do. There’s also a decent selection of content streaming apps, plus Freeview Play, ensuring a full complement of TV catch-up services. The Hisense has much better viewing angles and much better accuracy, but it's better suited for a room with a bit of lighting, as it has low contrast but can't get bright enough to overcome glare. This will be included within your account minimum payment request every month and cannot be repaid using Take 3.

The Hisense uses different panel types with different sizes, meaning the exact performance difference may vary. Additionally, there’s Freeview Play, which not only means you get all the UK TV catch-up services but ensures they are seamlessly integrated into the TV guide. The 65-inch models we tested both have IPS-type panels, but each TV is available in a variety of sizes, and some have VA panels instead.

Design and build quality are good, the remote control classy, and the VIDAA smart platform simple but effective. The apps appear along the centre of the home screen, and above this is content related to the app currently highlighted.

Freeview Play for catch-up TV
Freeview Play makes catch-up TV easy. When your Hisense TV detects a sports signal, it switches to Sports Mode for an immersive live stadium experience. If you’d rather spread the cost over 36 months, you can set up a loan repayment plan when the payment-free period comes to an end at 19. The Fire TV platform on the Toshiba is easier to use than Android TV, but the Android TV is more customizable.Also, the low contrast and lack of a local dimming feature mean this isn't the best choice for late-night gaming in a dark room as blacks look gray. Please ensure the TV to be taken away is not wall mounted and is fully disconnected prior to the crew's arrival.

The Samsung also has much higher peak brightness and better reflection handling, but the Hisense has better viewing angles. The limited colour gamut still looks suitably punchy, and only the mediocre tone-mapping disappoints, producing a tendency to clip highlights. Item never arrived, but when I queried it with the seller, they chased it right away, confirmed that the courier had lost the parcel, and offered a full refund. Unfortunately, like almost all TVs on the market, there are ads throughout the home page, although we couldn't capture a picture of one.Bringing together a wide range of apps and devices, VIDAA U5 lets you switch between them all in three steps or fewer – no more complex sub-menus.
