The 4K Blu-ray of Once Upon A Time… in Hollywood produces a sense of naturalism with skin tones that are both varied and well conveyed. Brad Pitt’s complexion isn’t as ruddy as I remember it on the B7120UK. In fact, the A7200G’s images strike me as less punchy overall. You won’t be surprised to hear some of the plastics used in the construction of the A7200G feel pretty ordinary – this is an overtly affordable TV, after all, and costs have to be kept down. But everything looks and feels efficiently constructed, and there are certainly no creaks from the Hisense – even when it’s having its simple ‘boomerang’ feet screwed into place. The sound quality of the R50B7120UK was a surprise, but the sound from the 50A7200GTUK’s 2 x 8W speakers is a step down – despite being the same configuration.

Set-up is straightforward – once you’ve located the set-up menus, anyway. They’re clear and uncomplicated, which isn't always the case. It’s possible to tinker around the edges of the way the Hisense does its thing, but in truth there’s not a whole lot of meaningful changes to be made to the way the A7200G delivers images or sound. The six presets for ‘picture mode’, for example, basically alter colour temperature a little. Being offered the option to set ‘dialogue clarity’ to ‘low’ is quite amusing, though, admittedly. It'd be a fun challenge to watch a Christopher Nolan movie with that setting, if nothing else.

Viewed from the head-on (which, let’s be honest, is how you’ll look at it for the vast majority of the time), the Hisense is anonymous in an entirely positive way. The top, left and right bezels are very slim and smooth, while the broader strip along the bottom (which carries both ‘Hisense’ and ‘Roku TV’ logos) is equally well integrated. The Hisense Roku A7200G – or Hisense R50A7200GTUK Roku TV to give its longwinded model name – went on sale in early 2021.

If you have one and you’re not sure how to enable 4K for an HDMI device, follow the instructions below: Another important thing many people tend to forget is the speed of the internet connection. You’ll need at least 25 Mbps to stream content in 4K. Keep in mind that live 4K broadcasts require an even higher speed. If you want to be on the safe side and ensure 4K always works, you’ll need around 50 Mbps. If you’re interested in learning how to turn on 4K on your Hisense TV, you’ve come to the right place. This article will provide detailed step-by-step instructions on how to do it. How to Turn On 4K

The Roku TV smart platform is pretty close to flawless. It covers all the major streaming services as well as thousands of seriously niche ones. You want a channel dedicated to crossbow hunting? It’s there. Fancy gaining more knowledge about the cigar industry? You’ll find that here too, along with plenty of other topics. Control is available via the remote control handset or the Roku mobile app. The remote control doesn’t feel all that expensive (hardly a surprise) but it’s not the ergonomic disaster it might have been. It’s quite sensibly laid out, and direct buttons for Netflix and Freeview Play are very welcome. They’re certainly more useful than the direct buttons for Rakuten TV or Spotify, anyhow. The one key improvement is on the front, where the bezel has been reduced from a basic-looking 1cm band to something closer to 4mm, giving a more contemporary aesthetic. There’s no change to the usable and fully featured remote control. There are direct shortcuts buttons to Freeview Play, Netflix, Google Play Movies & TV, Spotify and Rakuten, plus some clear navigation and media controls too. No two ways about it, having Roku TV running the show is quite the coup for Hisense. The smart TV interface here is clean and unequivocal, easy and logical to navigate, and extensive without being exhausting. Hisense Roku R50A7200GTUK review What Hi-Fi? Awards 2021 winner. Another vintage year from Hisense and Roku

However, Hisense seems to know where this TV’s strengths lie. It’s not trying to offer finesse, it’s aiming to land a punch. And it does so successfully. The picture is bright and colourful, and even sharper and richer than its apparently identical predecessor.

The B7120UK offered an enjoyable performance, although it had a few weak spots in my estimation – namely HDR brightness and SD upscaling. Little seems to have been changed in that respect, but that’s no bad thing. The Hisense R50A7200GTUK Roku TV remains an impressive performer for the price. The Roku app (for iOS and Android) is very usable too. It’s clear, logical and stable (the Holy Trinity for any control app, really), and it makes searching for content, casting from a mobile device or using some rudimentary voice control completely straightforward. If you have provided us with a mobile telephone number, DPD couriers will send a text message on the day of delivery advising of an approximate time slot for the delivery. So far, so very agreeable indeed. And as an upscaler, at least of Full HD 1080p content, the Hisense is no slouch either. Edges lose a little positivity, there’s a general softening of the overall images and detail levels take a turn for the worse too, but these compromises are in line with those demanded by much more expensive televisions doing the same work. And the A7200G’s control of tight, complicated patterns in content like this is, if anything, even more impressive than before. Movement can make the Hisense betray how hard it’s working, but it doesn’t render the images unwatchable. A two-speaker array and a total of 16 watts of power isn’t a recipe for any home cinema audio fireworks, but the A7200G never sounds unduly wheezy or stressed. Instead, you get a pretty tranquil (or ‘flat’ if you’re being uncharitable) sonic experience, one that’s far from the last word in detail or insight but doesn’t get hard or jagged even if you want to listen loud.HD sources are managed with more finesse. There’s better definition to textures and faces, finer levels of sharpness, and colours are depicted with more volume, clarity and in a pleasingly natural way – not a trait I normally associate with Hisense’s more saturated output. Choose “System” from the menu on the left and go to “HDMI format.” If you have a newer TV model, you’ll need to press “HDMI Format” right from the settings menu. Even when upscaling less information-heavy content, the Hisense keeps the good news coming. Full HD stuff is a little softer and a little less positive than native 4K content, naturally, but as far as colours, textures and contrasts are concerned the A7200GTUK keeps up the good work. You have to really step down in quality to some 4:3 sub-1080p content to expose the Hisense’s limitations where upscaling is concerned.
