FAQs

How do I know if my Hisense TV is 4K?

There are several ways to establish whether your Hisense TV is 4K. Here are some of them:

Check the Label

If you just purchased your Hisense TV and haven’t unpacked it yet, you’ll be able to find out whether it’s 4K by looking at the box. In most cases, “4K” will be in the product’s name.

Check Your User Manual

All Hisense TVs are shipped with a user manual that contains detailed information regarding their specifications. If you want to find out if your TV is 4K, simply read the “Resolution” section, and you’ll find your answer.

While this is one of the simplest ways to find out if your TV is 4K, you may not have access to the manual. Many owners decide to throw it away or forget where they left it. Fortunately, there are other ways to see whether your TV is 4K.

Check Hisense’s Website

Hisense has an excellent website that contains information about every product. If you know your TV model, you can get all the information you need in a few clicks.

Use YouTube

Another way to check if your TV is 4K is to use the YouTube app if you have it. Find and play a 4K video and open the resolution options. If you see “2160p,” your TV is 4K.

I can’t play content in 4K on my Hisense TV. What can I do?

There are a number of potential reasons you can’t play content in 4K on your TV. The first action you should take is to check the video quality of the content you’re streaming. If you’ve purchased content of lower video quality, it doesn’t matter whether your TV supports 4K. If you’re streaming, check whether the video is available in 4K.

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.

Finally, ensure your Hisense TV supports 4K. If you have an older model, it’s likely it doesn’t support this resolution.

Enjoy the Best Quality

Most new Hisense TVs come with 4K resolution, which has become the industry standard. But, the 4K option isn’t automatically enabled for streaming content from HDMI devices. Fortunately, you can turn on 4K with just a few clicks.
