Our take on the Hisense Class H5 Series 4K UHD Roku Smart TV
The Hisense H5 Series is a 4K UHD LED TV with Roku's smart platform built in, sold in a 55-inch size. Roku gives it a simple home screen, a broad app selection and a remote with voice search, which is easier for most people to learn than the Google TV software on Hisense's U6 and U7 sets. Picture quality is basic: it is a 60 Hz panel without local dimming or wide color, so it suits a bright living room, a bedroom or a casual streaming setup rather than a dark home theater. Owners of budget Roku TVs generally like the interface and the value and accept modest contrast and average built-in sound.

What reviewers say

Questions and answers
- Is the Hisense H5 good for gaming?
- It is a basic 60 Hz set without variable refresh rate or high-refresh gaming modes. It handles casual console play, but fast competitive games benefit from a TV with those features.
- Does it have local dimming?
- No. The H5 uses edge lighting without local dimming, so dark scenes look gray compared with sets that dim zones of the backlight.
- What is the difference from Hisense's U6 or U7 series?
- The U6 and U7 use Google TV and add quantum dot color, higher brightness and, on some models, local dimming. The H5 trades those for the simpler Roku platform.
- Do I need a soundbar?
- The built-in speakers are adequate for news and casual viewing. For movies or music, most owners add a soundbar or speakers.
- Does it support voice control?
- The Roku remote includes voice search, and the TV works with Roku's app for phones. It also supports common voice assistants through Roku's platform.
- Is it good for a bright room?
- It is best in a room where you can control glare. In direct sunlight the picture looks washed out, so a brighter set suits a sunlit room better.
