Hisense U6N with VIDAA home menu .

• "Up to" 8 years of software updates for Hisense TVs
• Only applies to TVs running VIDAA smart TV platform
• Most of Hisense's TVs sold in the US use software such as Google TV or Fire TV instead

When you're spending big bucks on a new TV – or even small bucks – you want to be sure that your purchase is going to last: while we tend to change our phones every year or two, most people stick with the same TV for nearly a decade. So it's great to see Hisense promising to deliver eight years of software updates to its TVs.
