FAQs
What is Freely and do I need an aerial to use it?
Freely is a unified platform on your Hisense A6Q TV that combines live TV, catch-up services, and on-demand apps. The great benefit is that you do not need an aerial; all content is streamed over Wi-Fi, offering convenience and reducing cable clutter.
How does 4K Direct Lit technology enhance the picture?
4K Direct Lit technology means the LED backlights are placed directly behind the entire screen. This ensures uniform illumination across every inch of the display and allows for precise control over local dimming, resulting in deeper blacks and brighter, more lifelike colors with enhanced contrast.
What is the Hi-View AI Engine and how does it improve viewing?
The Hi-View AI Engine is Hisense's intelligent processor that enhances every frame in real-time. It uses AI to analyze what's on screen and intelligently upscales resolution, contrast, and clarity, transforming standard content into near-4K brilliance. It automatically optimizes picture settings for the best possible viewing experience without manual adjustment.
Is this TV suitable for gaming?
Yes, the Hisense A6Q is well-suited for gaming. It features Game Mode Plus with ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode), which automatically minimizes input lag and ensures ultra-smooth, low-latency gameplay, providing a responsive and enjoyable gaming experience.
What is Dolby Vision™ HDR and its benefits?
Dolby Vision™ HDR is an advanced High Dynamic Range technology that delivers incredible brightness, contrast, and color. It processes content scene-by-scene, optimizing the picture dynamically to reveal stunning details and cinematic realism that are often lost in standard video, creating a more immersive and true-to-life visual experience.
How should I clean the screen of my Hisense A6Q TV?
To clean the screen, gently wipe it with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. For tougher marks, you can slightly dampen the cloth with water only. It is important to avoid using harsh chemicals, alcohol-based cleaners, or abrasive materials as these can damage the screen surface.
What is the energy efficiency class of this TV?
The Hisense A6Q 85" 4K Ultra HD Smart TV has an energy efficiency class of G.
Troubleshooting
TV won't turn on or has no power.
Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into both the TV and a working wall outlet. Try plugging another device into the same outlet to confirm it has power. Test with a different power outlet if necessary. Confirm the remote control batteries are fresh and inserted correctly.
No picture or poor picture quality (blurry, dim, incorrect colors).
Check all HDMI cables are securely connected to both the TV and source devices. Ensure you have selected the correct input source on the TV. Navigate to the picture settings menu and adjust brightness, contrast, color, or sharpness. Verify that features like Hi-View AI Engine and Adaptive Light Sensor are enabled for automatic optimization. Reset picture settings to default if issues persist.
No sound or low sound from the TV speakers.
Check the TV's volume level and ensure it's not muted. If using external audio devices, check their volume and connections. Access the audio settings menu on the TV and ensure 'TV Speakers' is selected if you want sound from the TV itself. Verify DTS Virtual X and Dolby Audio settings are configured correctly for your preference.
Freely TV or streaming apps are not working or buffering.
Ensure your TV is connected to a stable Wi-Fi network. Check your internet connection speed, as streaming 4K content requires a robust connection. Try restarting your router and modem. If the issue persists, go to the TV's network settings to reconnect to Wi-Fi or perform a network test.
Remote control is not responding.
Check and replace the batteries in the remote control. Ensure there are no obstructions between the remote and the TV's IR receiver. Point the remote directly at the TV.
