   First let's start off with the design. immediately it looks similar to the LG G 6 series, with the picture on glass, it looks unbelievably thin from the sides, and here's a dime just for reference.

  towards the bottom it does get thick obviously because that is where all the internals are, and built-in speakers which are facing the back .that's actually the main reason why the TV has such thin bezels all around in the first place. if they did put the speakers on the bottom, the TV would have a thic.k chin aesthetically the TV isn't bad looking ,very modern like with even bezels and the minimalistic base design.

 actually they do have two more speakers on the bottom facing down ,and that's one of the reasons why the TV is able to produce such great sound ,while sticking with smaller bezels.
 the TV can be mounted via VESA mount however you have to pick one up separately, which isn't that bad considering you can buy one for as low as 16 dollars.

•  AUDIO

  Now these speakers get insanely loud, at 50 percent it's loud enough to fill the entire room, but I was surprised to find out even at a hundred percent the sound doesn't get distorted, that's very impressive. there isn't that much emphasis on the bass however but the highs are nice and clear .if you're someone who prefers more bass then I strongly recommend picking up a sound bar or looking for a different TV.

•  PICTURE QUALITY

  Now the TV is using Ultra LED technology or ULED for short,and it's basically a fancy way of saying that it has really high contrast, a wide color gamut ,and smooth motion .overall the picture quality and viewing angles are great, I wouldn't say it's the best quality out there I mean it doesn't come close to OLED panels, but for the price is definitely one of the best you can get. I mean it is 2018 at this point is really hard to make a TV with bad picture quality. so the TV has a native 120 Hertz refresh rate and it supports both HDR 10 and Dolby vision.

• GAMING

  Speaking of gaming ,I had a blast playing spider-man on my ps4 Pro, the difference between HDR is night and day .oddly enough there is actually less contrast through HDR ,but it actually makes the game look a lot better. the shadows and highlights are more prominent, in the overall picture looks brighter and well balanced .with HDR off you get more contrast, there's actually a lot of darker areas present ,especially when you're swinging across the buildings underneath the Sun, you can see some areas darken and begin to see less details. the dynamic range is way better with HDR enabled.

•  PORTS

   In terms of ports, the TV does have a single 4k at 30 Hertz HDMI port ,next to the ethernet and
audio jacks .on the other side you'll find two USB ports, one of them is USB 3 and the other is USB 2, you'll also find another 4k at 30 Hertz HDMI and two additional 4k at 60 Hertz HDMI slots. the response time when gaming is really low you're getting less than 35 milliseconds which is great considering you're gaming in 4k with HDR on. I don't even notice any delay or lag while playing spider-man.
  If you're a casual gamer and you're playing RPG adventure ,or even racing games then this TV is great for that, however if you start playing shooter games like black OPS or FORTNITE ...any game that involves timing and responsiveness that's when you'll start to notice the latency on the TV and fortunately.




•  THE REMOTE

  The remote may be a hit or miss for some people ,first of all they made it really small and they removed a lot of buttons from it to make it very minimalistic .the numpad is replaced by a shortcut that brings it up on the TV and they even added shortcuts to all the popular streaming apps, you got Netflix YouTube sling and even a dedicated Google Play shortcut as well .
  The remote has a built-in microphone and it's crazy how accurate it is .you can pretty much tell it to do anything you want. considering how accurate the voice command is and you can pretty much use that to do most of the work anyways.



•  CONCLUSION


 When you are shopping around for a TV you need to look up for a few things : 

-a TV that has great picture quality.

-viewing angles.

-great sounding speakers.

-low latency for console gaming.

-UI that's not only snappy, but offers a lot of apps.

   The intuitive remote with the voice control is a nice plus and the price of the TV makes it very appealing to a lot of people who are on tight budgets. I definitely think that Hisense checked a lot of boxes when it comes to the H9E Plus.
