Hisense 85A6QKEN | 85-inch 4K UHD | Dolby Vision HDR | VIDAA Smart TV | 60Hz Direct LED

Condition: New
Note: price and availability are subject to change without prior notice
Hisense 85A6QKEN is now in stock at Mascom International for KSh 185,000, brand new and sealed. It pairs an 85-inch 4K UHD Direct LED panel with Dolby Vision HDR and the VIDAA smart platform. The Hisense 85A6QKEN is the Kenya-market unit of Hisense's A6Q series, carrying the KEN suffix. Its 3840 x 2160 resolution packs 8.3 million pixels across a 215cm diagonal, four times the detail of a Full HD set. Three HDMI 2.0 ports, eARC, dual-band Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.0 cover every source a modern home runs. See it running at our showroom in Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.
Built for families, sports fans and hospitality managers across Kenya, the Hisense 85A6QKEN fixes a common complaint. A 55-inch set looks small once the sofa sits four metres away in an open-plan lounge. At 1.89 metres wide, this screen fills that wall, so Saturday Premier League fixtures read clearly from the back row. Restaurant owners in Kilimani and Westlands use screens this size to hold match-day crowds. School principals and church administrators run presentations and livestreams on them. Real estate agents mount them in show units, where a large 4K picture helps a property sell itself.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya, Mascom International lets you watch the Hisense 85A6QKEN play 4K Dolby Vision content before you pay a shilling. At KSh 185,000, it works out to roughly KSh 2,176 per inch of diagonal, the lowest cost per inch among the Hisense 85-inch sets we stock. Customers across Nairobi tell us the jump from 65 inches changed how their households watch football and films. If you would rather not carry an 85-inch box through town, pay-on-arrival delivery reaches all 47 counties, with same-day drop-off across Nairobi and its environs. Every Hisense 85A6QKEN leaves our store sealed.
Common Questions About the Hisense 85A6QKEN
Is the Hisense 85A6QKEN worth KSh 185,000 in Kenya?
Yes, the Hisense 85A6QKEN is the most affordable route to an 85-inch 4K screen at Mascom International. Spread across a 24-month warranty, KSh 185,000 comes to about KSh 253 per day. You get Dolby Vision, HDR10 and HLG support, a 400-nit Direct LED panel, and Netflix, YouTube and Prime Video ready out of the box. The trade-off is colour depth: an 8-bit plus FRC panel, not quantum dot. For most households watching football and streaming series, that trade is sensible.
Hisense 85A6QKEN or Hisense 85Q6QKEN QLED, which should I buy?
Choose the Hisense 85A6QKEN if screen size matters more than colour richness. The Hisense 85Q6QKEN costs KSh 197,500 at Mascom International, KSh 12,500 more, and adds a QLED quantum dot layer. Quantum dots produce more saturated reds and greens, which shows most on nature documentaries and animated films. Both share an 85-inch 4K canvas. If your viewing is mainly news, football and YouTube, the A6Q keeps that KSh 12,500 in your pocket. Picture purists should step up to the QLED.
How does the Hisense 85A6QKEN handle KPLC power cuts and voltage swings?
The Hisense 85A6QKEN draws under 0.5W on standby, so leaving it plugged in overnight costs almost nothing in tokens. Power cuts and sudden surges are the bigger risk. Mascom International recommends running it through a quality surge protector or automatic voltage switcher, especially in estates where supply dips in the evening. When power returns, VIDAA restarts quickly and remembers your last input. A UPS rated for the TV lets you finish a match during short outages in Kenya.
Can the Hisense 85A6QKEN handle PS5 and Xbox Series X gaming?
Yes, the Hisense 85A6QKEN supports 4K at 60Hz with ALLM, which switches Game Mode Plus on automatically when a console starts. Variable refresh rate between 48Hz and 60Hz keeps frame drops from tearing the picture in demanding titles like EA Sports FC. Input lag falls sharply in Game Mode Plus, which matters for shooters and racing games. The panel does not reach 120Hz, so competitive players chasing 120 frames per second should ask Mascom International about higher-refresh models before buying.
Will the Hisense 85A6QKEN fit my wall and TV stand?
Measure first: the Hisense 85A6QKEN is 1,890mm wide and 1,087mm tall without its stand, with a slim 79mm depth. On its two feet it stands 1,187mm tall and needs a surface at least 450mm deep. Wall mounting uses a 600 x 400 VESA pattern with M8 screws, and the panel weighs 26.9kg. Choose a bracket rated well above that weight. Many Nairobi apartments with drywall partitions need the bracket anchored into a solid concrete wall instead.
Which streaming apps does the Hisense 85A6QKEN support?
The Hisense 85A6QKEN runs VIDAA, Hisense's own smart platform, with Netflix, YouTube and Prime Video preinstalled. Voice control lets you search titles without typing on the remote. Dual-band Wi-Fi on 2.4GHz and 5GHz keeps 4K streams steady on Safaricom Home Fibre, Zuku and Faiba connections, and the Ethernet port gives the most stable link for long matches. If a particular Kenyan service is missing from the VIDAA store, a streaming stick in any spare HDMI port fills the gap.
Can I connect a soundbar or wireless headphones to the Hisense 85A6QKEN?
Yes, the Hisense 85A6QKEN offers three ways to upgrade sound. HDMI eARC passes full-quality audio, including Dolby Atmos tracks, to a compatible soundbar and lets one remote control volume. An optical output suits older home theatre systems. Bluetooth 5.0 connects wireless headphones, useful for late-night viewing when the household is asleep. The built-in two 15W speaker channels with DTS Virtual:X work well for news and daily viewing, but a soundbar suits a screen this large.
Who should buy the Hisense 85A6QKEN, and who should skip it?
Buy the Hisense 85A6QKEN if you want the biggest screen your budget allows for sport, streaming and family films. Skip it if your room is under three metres deep: the Hisense 75Q6QKEN at KSh 115,000 suits that space better. Buyers who watch in dark rooms and value deep blacks should consider the Hisense 75U7SKEN Mini-LED at KSh 148,000. Anyone wanting colour punch at 85 inches belongs with the 85Q6QKEN, while the Hisense 98U7H at KSh 273,000 serves those wanting the largest screen we carry.

Connectivity, Build and Mounting
- Three HDMI 2.0 ports, one with eARC, handle 4K 60Hz sources including consoles and streaming sticks.

- Slim 79mm panel depth without the stand lets the TV sit close to the wall once mounted.
- 600 x 400 VESA mounting pattern with M8 screws fits most heavy-duty wall brackets sold in Nairobi.
- 26.9kg panel weight means two people should lift and mount it, with brackets anchored into concrete.
