Hisense's 2018 Alexa-Enabled E Series 4K UHD™ Smart TV Lineup is Now Available for Purchase

SUWANEE, Ga., May 21, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Global technology leader Hisense today announced the availability of its H8E 4K UHD™ Smart TV Series in the United States. In addition to industry-leading picture quality and technology, the Alexa-enabled H8E Series will include a wide variety of features, including the ability to ask Alexa to change inputs, control volume and more.

The H8E will be Alexa-enabled using the Hisense Remote Now smartphone app or via a voice controlled remote without the need for an Echo device.**

"At Hisense, we are on a mission to make premium picture quality and cutting-edge voice control available to everyone," says Mark Viken, Hisense USA Vice President of Marketing. "In this age of amazing content, the TV is emerging again as the central hub of family activity, and we are proud to bring premium voice capabilities via Alexa to consumers through our accessible TV prices." 

The Next Generation of Smart Home Entertainment

Featuring Local Dimming, HDR*, Motion Rate 120 and Bluetooth audio for wireless connection to Bluetooth-enabled devices, the H8E 4K UHD™ Smart TV Series features premium picture quality with detailed, colorful, crisp, and smooth images. Additionally, the Hisense H8E Series is 40 percent slimmer than its predecessor, along with more screen size options than ever before.

The Hisense H8E Series allows users to enjoy features of an Amazon Alexa device with their TV. Using the Hisense Remote Now smartphone application (available for iOS and Android) or the Hisense line of voice-enabled** remotes, users can make their TV the hub of their smart home: control TV functions with voice, connect to music services, and even order meals or call an Uber. Users tapping into other Alexa capabilities, like weather updates, will be able to see the information visually on their TV screen. Additionally, Alexa will enable users to control other smart home products like light bulbs, door locks, and other connected devices like the Hisense HiSmart™ 70 Pint Dehumidifier and Hisense HiSmart™ Portable Air Conditioner. Customers will also have access to Alexa's tens of thousands of skills.

The H8E Series is loaded with premium picture features, including local dimming for higher contrast and excellent black control, allowing viewers to see more detail within shadows. MEMC paired with backlight blinking on the 65" H8E increases Native 60Hz to motion rate 120 for smooth images in fast-action scenes. The television features auto-gamma for brightness control out of the box and an ambient light sensor that automatically adjusts the brightness to fit the environment. For those who prefer to adjust gamma to their preference, the TV offers five distinct picture options. 

The H8E Series features next level audio with a 14w speaker system on the 43" class, 20w on the 50" and 55" class and a whopping 30w of sound on the 65" class TV.  Hisense increases sound quality with its proprietary acoustic chamber that creates a powerful bass and rich, consistent audio. The 55" H8E features Harman/Kardon^® audio.

Hisense Smart TV - Quick and Simple Access to the Best Content

Available on the H8E, the Hisense Smart TV platform offers quick and easy one-touch access to the content consumers want, including a web browser for Hisense brand 4K televisions. Prioritizing quality over quantity, the Hisense Smart TV platform pre-installs the most popular apps like Netflix, Amazon Video, YouTube and VUDU and offers one-touch access through its remote buttons. Cord-cutters can also access live TV through apps like TikiLive. Additionally, the platform features a customizable interface so consumers can prioritize the content that is most important to them.
