Is the Hisense QD5 good for gaming?

Only casually. The 60 Hz panel has no VRR or HDMI 2.1, so fast console games will show some blur and no frame-rate smoothing.

Does it support Dolby Vision and HDR10?

Yes, the QD5 handles HDR10, HDR10+ and Dolby Vision, so most streaming HDR content plays at its best.

Do I need a soundbar?

Most owners say yes. The built-in speakers are fine for news but thin for movies and music.

What is the difference between the QD5 and the U6 series?

The U6 uses full-array local dimming for deeper blacks; the QD5 relies on edge lighting, so contrast is weaker but the Roku interface is simpler.

What comes in the box?

The TV, two legs, a Roku remote with batteries, and a power cable. A wall mount is not included.

Is Roku built in or do I need a streaming stick?

Roku is built in. You sign in to apps directly on the TV, no extra device needed.

Our take on the Hisense 55" QD5 Hi-QLED Series 4K UHD Smart Roku TV

The Hisense QD5 is a 55-inch 4K QLED TV running the Roku smart platform. Quantum-dot film gives it wider, brighter color than plain LED sets at the same tier, and Roku is one of the simplest smart interfaces to learn. The catch is a 60 Hz panel with no HDMI 2.1 or variable refresh rate, so it suits movie and streaming viewers more than serious gamers. Against rivals like the TCL Q5 and Amazon Fire TV Omni QLED, it trades gaming features for Roku's cleaner interface and solid color volume.
