I have a fix for all these and that actually works wonders for this tv so read on.

Composite: not tested

IR Remote: looks cheap but better than Micromax remote
Stand: Sumo feet style stand which is pure plastic but strong enough to carry the TV and keep it upright.
Bugs: 1
The tint control is greyed out and a regular user cannot change it in any display mode or input selected. This is really messed up. Why would you even do such a thing. Are you nuts VU?
Anyway, I managed to figure out how to get into the service menu to fix the tint cause the people were looking weird on this TV and that was a big drawback.
Service menu VU 32K160 Rev D
Click on Menu>Audio>Balance
Enter code 1>9>6>9
You will enter the Service Menu.

To go back click : Menu
Rating: 4 out of 5 for good performance on games and fast response rate of the panel.
Given the fact that I got it for 13k it this TV is a good buy I believe.
Being an artist, I quickly noticed the bad tint and was frustrated to not be able to change this.
Tried everything on the first day but no luck, next day Started looking for service guide for Hisense as it shows up in the PC as Hisense when connected via HDMI
Found one PDF that gave me the code.
With it I was able to figure out the RGB and tine settings to fix the issue.
