Hisense QLED 58E79S on sale at reduced price
The Hisense QLED 58E79S is now available at Darty for 399.99 euros, a reduction from its original price of 549.99 euros. This makes it a more affordable option for consumers looking for a television with modern features.Features and specifications
The television is marketed as a budget-friendly choice with QLED image quality, full HDR support including Dolby Vision IQ and HDR10+, and compatibility with Apple HomeKit, AirPlay 2, and Alexa. It also includes an input lag under 10 ms and support for ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode).Screen size and connectivity
The Hisense QLED 58E79S has a 58-inch screen, described as a hybrid size that is suitable for medium-sized rooms. It includes three HDMI 2.1 ports and supports VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) and eARC (Enhanced Audio Return Channel) for connecting to external audio equipment.Operating system and app availability
The television runs on the Hisense operating system, which provides access to most streaming services. However, its app store is less feature-rich compared to Google TV, which may affect the user experience for some viewers.QLED panel and limitations
The TV features a QLED panel that offers better brightness and color precision than traditional LED screens. However, it lacks local dimming and has a maximum brightness of 330 cd/m², which may not be sufficient for HDR content in brightly lit environments.Performance for gaming and audio
The 60 Hz VA panel limits the TV's performance for high-demand gaming, though it can reach 120 Hz using HSR (High Speed Rate) mode at the expense of 4K resolution. The TV's sound output is 20 W, which may lack depth for more intense audio content, and a soundbar is recommended for enhanced audio.Position in the market
The Hisense QLED 58E79S is positioned as a competitor to TCL's C89K models, particularly in the entry-level premium television segment. It is well-suited for streaming platforms and occasional gaming but may not be ideal for serious gamers or those requiring 4K@120 Hz performance.
