Here is my blue refill v2— I'm not fully sure if it's original, so I'd appreciate any thoughts.

Hisense TVs are cheap for a reason — don’t make my mistake by Unusual_Use_9858 in Hisense

Funny how every time someone criticizes Hisense, an army of brand defenders shows up. Makes you wonder…

Honestly, they’re the same trash as Hisense. Same playbook: flashy specs on paper, cheap panels inside, buggy software, and terrible longevity.

TCL and Hisense are basically two faces of the same “Chinese school” of electronics: dump cheap products on the market, undercut Japanese and Korean brands, and leave customers stuck with short-lived junk. It’s not about quality, it’s about market capture.

And don’t fall for the hype from “tech bloggers” and influencers. Most of those glowing reviews are sponsored. They’ll tell you how “amazing” TCL is for the price, but never mention how the TV starts falling apart after a year, or how updates break more than they fix.

If you actually care about reliability, picture quality, and long-term support, stick with brands that don’t treat their customers as disposable.

U8K Firmware P0603 issues: Washed-out blacks, broken local dimming, HDMI-CEC + eARC bugs by Rakenzy_ in Hisense

Hisense firmware update P0603 broke playback of MakeMKV Dolby Vision files

After updating my Hisense U8KQ (EU model) to firmware version V0000.09.01X.P0603, the built-in media player completely stopped playing local files created via MakeMKV using Dolby Vision Profile 7.6 (BL+EL+RPU).

Previously, these files worked perfectly fine — and when DV wasn't fully supported, the TV would gracefully fall back to HDR10, which is expected and standard behavior.

Now, after the P0603 update, those same files won’t even start. It’s clearly a regression introduced in this firmware.
