Earlier this year, reviews for Hisense's Q8G model of TV began hitting in the interwebs, and it seems as if reviewers have been generally impressed with the model. While Hisense might not be the first brand that pops into your mind when you think about purchasing a new TV, perhaps it should be.

Most of the news around coronavirus has been painfully negative. There has been one small glow of hope: the backlog has taken a bashing. Sunny afternoons with soft drinks, ice cream, a cool breeze and an afternoon playing a favourite game felt like a thing of the past, but 2020 has offered it in spades.
