Hisense 65H9D Plus LCD Ultra HDTV
CHINESE TV MAKER HISENSE has chosen the designation ULED for their 2017 Ultra HDTVs. Like most other modern sets, however (apart from OLED TVs), these are still LCD sets; the LEDs merely provide the necessary back lighting. While Hisense’s larger TVs (the 75H9D Plus and the flagship 70- and 75-inch H10D models) offer full-array local dimming (FALD), the 65-inch 65H9D Plus reviewed here is LED edge-lit. While for most consumers its $2,000 MSRP makes it look expensive, its discounted street price with major online retailers (as of late October) puts it well under $1,500 and makes it price-friendly—especially when compared with the flagship TVs I’ve reviewed recently.
Features
The 65H9D Plus, like most new sets, doesn’t do 3D. Its HDR capability is also limited to HDR10—no Dolby Vision or HLG (Hybrid Log-Gamma). But most of today’s HDR sources, particularly on Ultra HD Blu-ray, use HDR10. And Dolby Vision sources can be played back as HDR10, though without the claimed benefits of Dolby Vision’s dynamic metadata. (HLG is sometimes used for 4K streaming and will appear in future 4K broadcasts.)

The Big Clean
Chances are you probably do not think about the state of your electronic devices too often. Oh, you might think about all the upgrades you would like to make; where you would put those new tower speakers, or how a second or third subwoofer would really tame those bass modes in your room, or how much more cinematic a larger screen would be. Sure, you think about that part of your system. But how often do you think about the well-being of your system?

Bridging the Analog-Digital Gap on a Recliner
When I shopped for a motorized recliner, I rejected models with their own Internet Protocol address and built-in speakers. No need. I had already placed a smart speaker on an étagère beside the space where I had planned to put the chair. I'd have a smartphone in my hand and the room would be bathed in Wi-Fi.
