None of the TVs announced by any of the manufacturers at CES had HDMI 2.1.But on what HDMI will the ARC channel be on or by release will it be HDMI 2.1 with eARC?
if it comes in at a grand id buy one.....................not likely................i knowShame 70" only on the MU9700 - was hoping they would release a 65" version for Europe as I am not sure how many takers they will get @70" in the UK.

A full array LED backlight should deliver a more uniform backlight without problems like bright edges or a cloudy or patchy backlight.What's the difference betwen "full array backlight with around 150 local dimming zones" and the "edge LED backlighting with local dimming". I note the lower model has the latter. Is that likely to have much impact on the picture? The 70" would be too big for me but may be tempted by the 65".

Hisense said that they planned to launch Dolby Vision in the US this year, with plans to launch it in the UK in 2018.One sad omission is Dolby Vision, which I swore would be on my next TV, though I may cave if the price is right.

Just hope manufacturers make it quite clear which models are upgradable.The lead time on a new TV is more than a few months but according to HDMI, if the manufacturer uses the right system on chip (SoC) and includes enough headroom, then there's no reason why they can't update 2.0 to 2.1 with a firmware release.
Good question about AVRs, I feel things could get confusing for the poor old consumer.Just hope manufacturers make it quite clear which models are upgradable.
How about AVRs?

Staring to feel that way especially as I was looking forward to updating my amp and screen this yearEasy solution - don't buy a bloody thing for the foreseeable future..
It's impossible to tell on a show floor, all the TVs look fairly similar under those conditions. Anyone posting first looks, hands-on or actual reviews from CES are doing their readers a disservice in my opinion. We just do basic previews based upon the information provided to us by the manufacturers but we'll have to wait until we review the new TVs to find out how they actually perform.How did these sets compare with the competition that might be in the same kind of price range and specification?
Also why is it taking Hisense so long to bring these to market given that most of the other manufacturers are aiming for March/April release?

Having said to me that last years TV's implementation of HDR was reminiscent of the HD Ready situation we had some years back.
It seems geogan has it spot on! Don't buy anything yet, until they all support everything properly.

As far as Hisense's timetable is concerned I get the feeling that they obviously prioritise their home market and Asia first, then the US and finally Europe and the UK, which is why the TVs don't arrive until the summer.
