Hisense didn't provide official method of repair it's broken H9G/Q9G TV (26 Sep 2024)
Hisense failed to offer recourse to consumers whose smart TVs broke due to faulty manufacturing. Where OEM replacement parts could have been provided or recalls could have been issued, Hisense instead forced its customers to waste their time, effort, and money to safely dispose of the 55"/65" TVs.
In the start of 2026 the operating system of the Hisense's smart TVs, VIDAA, suddenly began to display non-skippable and full screen ads in it's GUI without notifying the customers.
The ads could appear in any moment, whether was at change channels, turn on the TV, switch HDMI sources, or put prioritized sponsored content in the system GUI and home screen.
The ads appear even if the owner disabled the permissions or added a custom DNS that blocked them.
Because the ads were personalized, the TV was collecting information all the time about what the user was doing with it and what was watching to display the most optimized ad.
