Hisense XClass/Xumo TV

Why I Couldn’t Stream in 4K Quality?
There are various reasons why you couldn’t stream videos in 4K quality on your Hisense TV. The main reason might be the internet speed on your device. If the TV doesn’t get enough speed, then the streaming quality of the video will also be reduced. Secondly, if the video you are streaming doesn’t have 4K quality, it only streams up to its maximum quality and not in 4K.
