Hisense R43A7200UK Roku 43 Inch Smart 4K Ultra HD HDR LED TV Freeview HD (Renewed)

Product Information

Apart from a chunkier strip along the bottom of the frame, the bezel surrounding the A7200G’s screen is very slim indeed; viewed straight on, the Hisense is almost entirely screen. The surround is tidy, smooth and properly finished, and even across the bottom of the screen it’s not what you’d call intrusive, while the ‘Hisense’ and ‘ Roku TV’ branding carried on the bezel is nicely understated.

A Game mode is included and needs to be manually switched on. With it on, latency falls to an impressive 11.8ms – great for fast-twitch or racing games that require smooth inputs. Picture quality Step down in quality just a little with a 4K stream via Netflix and the fundamental story is the same. Most of the good stuff – detail levels, absence of noise, facility with edge definition and the subtleties of texture – is carried over intact. Even the drop-off in motion control is mild. You can’t expect fireworks in the design department when you’re paying this sort of money for a television. Really, the best you can hope for is a bit of discretion – and, happily, that’s just what Hisense has delivered. 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.I’ve appreciated Roku’s platform agnostic sensibilities, and it’s good to see the feature list expand with the Hisense Roku A7200G. There’s wide app support – Netflix, Prime Video, BT Sport, Disney+, Apple TV – with Freeview Play bringing the catch-up and on-demand UK apps. There are many more besides, and it’s a strength that puts Roku TVs ahead of other competing budget sets (even Hisense’s own models).

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. Upon receipt of your item we will provide a FOC repair including any mechanical parts, if in the unlikely event the unit is beyond economical repair we will provide a like for like replacement. Roku says the bezel has been slimmed and rounded; it’s neater in appearance than the original, from what I can remember. It allows for a little more real estate for the on-screen images, and presents a less obtrusive design than before. As far as set-up goes, the Hisense menus are a) very brief and b) don’t have all that much impact on the picture or sound you take receipt of. It’s possible to make fairly fundamental changes to colour temperature this way, but in all honesty the rest of the settings only fiddle around the edges of the A7200G performance. Still, this compares favourably with Philips, which wants you to invest the best part of your day in setting up your TV. 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.HDR10 - makes whites brighter, intensifies colour and enhances the overall picture for an epic cinematic effect. The Hisense Roku A7200G – or Hisense R50A7200GTUK Roku TV to give its longwinded model name – went on sale in early 2021.
