I'll make this as short as possible. We have a Hisense 85 inch Q7 series mini-LED Qled television. We bought it from Best Buy August 28th of last year (2025). it worked fine and we were very pleased with it until this past April (less than a year after purchase), when it began to have some issues. Hisense says they warranty their tv for one year
The TV shut down randomly for no reason, and the HDMI ports would go out randomly. I got on the live chat with a Hisense rep twice within a month, and both time I was told to unplug the TV, hold down the power button to "drain" any remaining electricity (yep, that's what they said),and upon plugging the TV back in both times, everything worked fine again.
The THIRD time the HDMI ports suddenly shut down (soundbar and DVD player both plugged in) I called again, and the rep said because this is reoccurring problem to do a factory reset. This of course makes the TV as if it just came out of the box, so I had to reinstall the apps as well as sign back into everything. This solved the problem...for a couple of days.
The HDMI ports went back out a couple of days later, and once during those 48 hours the TV powered off for no reason. I called Hisense, got a live person on the phone (YAY!), and they said they would send out a tech from one of the TV repair companies they have a contract with. Repairman came in, replaced the mainboard, left, and yep, two days later the HDMI ports went out again. Called Hisense, they told me to do another factory reset (nope), and I told them I want either a refund or a replacement since this has happened too many times. Rep said no, they have to try again with a repairman. I DO NOT want this TV "fixed" but I have no choice to wait for another repairman coming tomorrow.
So basically, you get a Hisense, you're stuck with it. They will send someone to "fix" it, and if it isn't fixed, they will just send another tech.
Desired outcome: REFUND

UPDATE: Repair tech came out this morning (6/30/26) and called Hisense to get authorization to destroy the TV so that a refund or RA can be issued. The Hisense rep told him (this was all on speaker phone) that they ordered new boards yesterday so we have to wait until those get installed and see what happens. The tech advised the main board was already switched out so doing it again is fruitless, but the Hisense rep said he will not authorize the tv to be deemed unrepairable, despite THE GUY WHO REPAIRS TV'S FOR A LIVING TELLING HIM IT WON'T WORK AND SENDING HIM PICTURES WHILE HE IS ON THE PHONE.
Tech left, and I called Hisense, who told the me Hisense tech I spoke to yesterday ordered new boards for the TV so I have to wait and see if that works ( which will be the THIRD time a repair tech is sent out, despite being told BY THAT REP yesterday two visits by a tech and the tv still not working is what's needed in order to deem the TV unrepairable). SO A CUSTOMER SERVICE REP ON THE PHONE YESTERDAY DIAGNOSED MY TV WITHOUT SEEING IT AND ORDERED PARTS.
Again, the WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EXPERIENCE I've EVER had. And WE STILL HAVE A TV THAT DOESN'T WORK sitting in our living room, and held hostage by a company that decided "Well, you own it, so you have to do things our way".
DO NOT BUY HISENSE PRODUCTS.
