Our take on the Hisense Class QD5 Series 43" 4K Ultra HD Smart QLED Google TV
The Hisense QD5 is a 43-inch 4K QLED TV running Google TV. Quantum dot film widens color, and Dolby Vision plus Dolby Atmos support cover HDR and sound formats. Its Google TV platform bundles streaming apps and Chromecast built-in, and it carries tuners for over-the-air and cable. It suits a bedroom, small living room or secondary room where a bright, colorful picture and easy streaming matter more than deep black levels. Against rivals, it offers QLED color and Dolby Vision at a level where many competitors still use plain LED panels, but its edge-lit backlight cannot match the contrast of mini-LED or OLED sets.
- QLED quantum dot layer for wider, more saturated color
- Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos support
- Google TV with Chromecast built-in and voice search
- 4K resolution with upscaling of lower-resolution content
- Built-in tuners for antenna and cable

Questions and answers
- Is the Hisense QD5 good for gaming?
- It handles 4K console output and has a game mode to reduce input lag. It lacks the high refresh rates and variable refresh rate features of premium gaming TVs, so serious competitive players should look higher in the range.
- Does it support Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos?
- Yes. It decodes Dolby Vision HDR and accepts Dolby Atmos audio, though the built-in speakers cannot produce true overhead sound. A compatible soundbar or receiver gets more from Atmos content.
- What is the difference between the QD5 and Hisense's U series?
- The QD5 uses a QLED quantum dot panel for wider color, while the U series uses standard LED. The QD5 also adds Dolby Vision. Both are edge-lit, so neither delivers mini-LED contrast.
- Is 43 inches too small for 4K?
- At a typical sofa distance of 6 to 8 feet, the extra detail over 1080p is subtle. The 43-inch size suits bedrooms, kitchens and desks, where viewers sit closer.
- Does it have Chromecast and voice control?
- Google TV includes Chromecast built-in for casting from phones and tablets. The remote has voice search through Google Assistant.
- What is in the box?
- The TV, a stand, a remote, batteries and a power cable. A wall mount and HDMI cables are not included.
