‘It’s not an OLED-killer yet’: I tested Hisense’s affordable RGB TV, and while I like its picture quality and performance, it surprisingly falls short in the area I had the highest hopes for
 ‘It’s not an OLED-killer yet’: I tested Hisense’s affordable RGB TV, and while I like its picture quality and performance, it surprisingly falls short in the area I had the highest hopes for
