There is no better app than Max (formerly HBO Max) for catching up with a great lineup of movies, sports, and on-demand TV shows. Max is natively supported on all OS variants of Hisense TV. Once, the app was incompatible with the Hisense VIDAA TV models. But from 18 September 2024, Max launched its exclusive application for VIDAA OS 6.0 & later. So, nothing can stop you from watching the Max content in 4K UHD quality with Dolby Atmos & Vision support on Hisense Smart TVs.
