Hisense 40A5NQTUK 40"

Manufacturer: Hisense

The Hisense 40A5NQTUK is a 40″ smart television built around a QLED, LED-backlit LCD panel that delivers Full HD resolution at 1920 x 1080 pixels. Running a built-in smart TV platform with Wi-Fi connectivity, AirPlay support, and a web browser, it covers the essentials for everyday streaming and casual viewing. Three USB ports add flexibility for media playback and USB recording, while Miracast support allows wireless screen sharing from compatible devices.

On the display side, the panel operates at a 60Hz refresh rate with a quoted contrast ratio of 5000:1 and a typical brightness of 230 nits, complemented by HDR10 and HLG support. Response time is rated at 9.5 ms, and an anti-reflection coating is present on the screen surface. Audio is handled by stereo speakers rated at 2 x 8W total output, with Dolby Atmos, Dolby Audio, and DTS:X decoding on board alongside an HDMI ARC connection for soundbar integration. Connectivity is rounded out by two HDMI 1.4 ports, one RJ45 Ethernet port, a 3.5 mm headphone jack, and a digital audio output.

Pros
  • Supports HDR10 and HLG for improved picture depth on compatible content
  • Dolby Atmos, Dolby Audio, and DTS:X decoding provides a broader range of audio format compatibility
  • Three USB ports offer flexibility for connecting multiple devices or using USB recording simultaneously
  • Wide 178º horizontal and vertical viewing angles make the screen usable from most positions in a room

  • VESA mount compatibility allows wall installation
Cons
  • Brightness is rated at only 230 nits, which may limit visibility in well-lit rooms
  • Wi-Fi is limited to Wi-Fi 4 (802.11n), an older wireless standard
  • No Bluetooth support restricts wireless audio device connectivity
  • Only two HDMI ports, which may not be sufficient for users with multiple source devices
  • No adaptive synchronization support, which affects smoothness when frame rates vary
  • EU energy label of F indicates relatively high power consumption for its size
Who is this for?

This TV is a reasonable fit for everyday home viewing in average or moderately lit living spaces, where its Full HD QLED panel with HDR10 and HLG support can deliver a decent picture from typical broadcast and streaming content. The broad 178º viewing angles make it suitable for larger rooms where viewers are spread across different positions. Users who want straightforward smart TV functionality will appreciate the built-in platform with AirPlay, a web browser, and smartphone remote support, and those with multiple set-top boxes or consoles can make use of the three USB ports and USB recording capability. The inclusion of DVB-T2, DVB-S2, and DVB-C tuners also makes it a practical choice for viewers relying on terrestrial, satellite, or cable broadcasts.

Who is this NOT for?

Users seeking a high-brightness display for well-lit or sunlit rooms will find the 230-nit typical brightness limiting, as glare and washout can be an issue in such environments despite the anti-reflection coating. The 60Hz refresh rate and 9.5 ms response time, combined with the complete absence of adaptive synchronization, make this TV a poor match for gaming setups where smooth, tear-free motion is a priority. The lack of Bluetooth also rules it out for anyone wanting to connect wireless headphones or audio accessories directly to the TV, and the Wi-Fi 4 standard may frustrate users in households with demanding network requirements or congested wireless environments.

Final Verdict
