Thoughts and settings on the Hisense 75U8H. I want to thank the reviewer for their time and effort in creating the reviews for this model series. So I’ve been living with my Hisense 75U8H for about a month now, and I wanted to share my thoughts and settings for those that may find it useful in some way. I’m not a gamer so there won’t be anything related to that. I’m fortunate to have a light controlled environment and these settings are mainly based on that, with most viewing done at night and with the ambient light kit also recommended by another reviewer. The quality is everything that has been said about this model series, including the black levels truly approaching oled territory, with virtually no noticeable blooming. I was concerned at first with the flesh tones, as no matter the source or material, it exhibited an awful pinkish/magenta-ish/sunburned hue, and the greens seemed to narrow themselves down to one dark green color for everything. Played with every setting to no avail. So I reset back to ground zero and pulled out my ancient AVSHD disc and carefully proceeded. So after putting a bunch of hours on the set( yes, they do break-in), and tweaking everything for the different sources and inputs, the color finally started to settle in. The flesh tones are now 90 to 95 percent accurate, yellows and golds and browns look like they’re supposed to without any tint leaning in one direction or another, and the greens now have the variation you would expect to see in a mixed scene of trees and grass, etc. The following are the settings based on a wide variety of material on all the sources, and in setting the backlight, contrast and local dimming so it doesn’t melt my retinas, but still has a good level of ”kick” and dynamic range. Of particular note is my go-to reference disc of The Fifth Element (the good pressing), because it has such a wide variety of colors and levels of saturation, which makes it challenging to reproduce accurately. Filmmaker Mode was the starting point where applicable for SDR. HDR is kind of all over the place in terms of settings, for me at least. When HDR is flagged, the three default choices that you’re given work for some things but not all, so I’ve had to tweak things based on the particular content being viewed. Again, personal taste and the room it’s being viewed in. Also, since the Dolby Vision issue has not been fixed at this point, I used the “Custom” mode to tweak that in. The bottom line is, I feel these are all good starting points before a “real” calibration, but each person has their own taste and preferences, so of course, feel free to tweak-away!

I have the U8G from last year and absolutely love it, i got the U8H for my parents and is an amazing tv as well i prefer the U8G stand but everything else is better on this new TV most notably inky blacks(OLED like), as far as build quality which everyone seems to be worry about i'll give you my 2 cents is solidly build both last year U8G and this year's U8H, everything fits well and the materials seems to be high quality the stand on both are metal and overall is great, picture quality and features is where this TVs shine and for the money there is no better deal, finally i have had my U8G for about a year trouble-free with solid performance so i have high hopes on the U8H as well.
I was about to return the TV. I took it out the box and it had issues with motion, picture and blur on fast moving objects, but this morning 11-9-22 there was an update that changed the color accuracy and many other things that was wrong with the tv that i wasn’t happy with, but now the tv looks amazing! I’m glad I kept it and didn’t return it! The tv wasn’t upscaling correctly and so many other buggy things. Even how some things are named changed like low, mid-low, medium, cool names changed. This TV is too bright but you can change it to your liking. I don’t think im even going to use 100% screen brightness, i mostly always use only 30% anything higher than 70% brightness is an eye soar. The colors out of the box sucked so much but after the update they are much better than they were before. Man, im so happy with my tv now. Even the contrast is much better now and no longer looks hazy as it did before. Edit(11-18-22): my only paranoia gripe still is that the tv doesn’t have anywhere the model number; in the about section there’s only a generic “4K tv” for the model number. When doing the first update out of the box it said now updating your U7H which was the sketchiest thing for me. I hope on the next update the company designates a definitive model names on the “ABOUT” section. My second gripe is that the TH-cam app that comes with the TV has significantly more ads than on my cell phone for the same videos on my phone. If they can just have the regular amount of ads that would be great! Because it makes watching the free TH-cam unwatchable because of how many more extra ads there is. I get it that some TH-camrs have more ads than other but it’s not that I’m convinced it’s the TV. Other than that still great.
I have Hisense u6g and it’s by far the best tv I’ve ever purchased considering price to performance. I’ll be picking up the 65 u8h for my living room and moving the u6g to bedroom and I couldn’t be more excited.
I have a cheap Hisense 43" with local dining, Roku for 2019. Paid 220.00 for it. I use also as a computer monitor as well. My Mac mini M1 work great with it. I use an app called EasyRes set at 2304x1296, 60 HZ. It scales perfectly for these old 62 year old eyes. I still have a windows 11 machine hooked up to it, but windows scaling sucks. People are amazed at the picture quality, they cannot believe it's a 220..00 TV.
I have been with Hisense since 1080p non smart TVs and it's still going strong I have r7 Roku and have a Hisense 65 in H9F and that is what started the QD for Hisense and is my bedroom tv I also have a Sony 49 inch x950h that was 2x cost of H9F it's only marginally better than the 65 in better quality that's saying a lot m, Hisense has been killing it for some time
Good thing I don't have apple or a sound bar....so those cons don't affect me. I would just be mounting it. I do wish you delved into the PS5 gameplay a little more
You've sold me on it too Steve great review as always I think Hisense did it this year with great value for the money. Not everyone can afford the OLED level of TV's and this fits smack in the middle I hope I can get one during the sale (fingers crossed) cause they're not sold here in Jamaica so gonna have to bring it in. Keep up the good work bro big up yuh self iyah 👍
OK, I am not buying a TV but I am Tech Steve. Your video review of a Hisense A6H convinced me to get it for my garage and that enhanced HDMI setting helped me out.
@6:47 - I have this TV connected to an HTPC and the VRR works fine. I have it set to 1440p 120hz and it works with most gaming scenarios including emulators (Dolphin and Redream are a real treat at 4x native with Freesync). Note that tearing may occur if the framerate dips below 60 too often.
@@flaw3dgenius222 not available in Costco (prefer to buy from them for their no quibbles 5yr warranty), curry's has it for 900 with a 2yr warranty only. Costco do have the LG C2 on offer till the end of the day for 980 (55inch)
Everything u need to know from someone who has owned several hisense TV's. They use cheap components inside so I hope u have the extended warranty bc you will need it. I had problems with mine in year two and year 3 of ownership. So good luck.
Delivered on Saturday, set up on Sunday morning and enjoying NFL football Sunday afternoon. Also did the updates and initial set up changes and it looks great. No complaints here.
Price of Sony x90k is comparable now. Color and no calibration needed out of the box and Sony brand reliability and quality control. Plus high resale value in Facebook marketplace. I’m going Sony.
I just got the 75” of this. The biggest down side for me is not having magic remote anymore like my old LG TV. Magic remotes are so good and you can buy replacements anywhere that work straight out of the box.l everyone breaks their remote when they have kids 😂
@@Toddscamry-lk5wr really? Why? You can still use it like a normal remote you just have added air mouse function if you want it. So much quicker and easier to move around and type.
I bought this tv on boxing day. I love in Vancouver Canada. The 65 inch u8h was $2000CA before taxes regular price, but it was on sale for $1500CA. The sales man dropped the price even further for me, I ended up getting this tv for $1360CA before taxes. After taxes, the tv was $1530CA. Not a bad deal if I must say so my self
Was gonna purchase one of these last week. However, I was able to purchase a brand new Sony 65 x90k for 1269 before taxes here in Toronto from a local Sony dealer. Very happy I went the Sony route. However this Hisense is still a decent model. If it was $1000 CAD I'd be all over it.
Great review! I guess I’m sort of a dinosaur but one thing that seems to be missing from this and other reviews is upscaling capability from a cable box. If you could include that it would be helpful. Thanks!
Upscaling is overrated in my opinion, if you have a great signal any TV does a decent job. Trust me I tried to reproduce a demo and it was pointless. That’s why you don’t see it on videos guys
You don’t necessarily need to film it, it would just be nice to know how it compares to other tvs since cable only comes in at 720 or 1080 at best. The internal software then takes over to convert it to 4k right? I’ve always heard Sony does that best but would love to save the money and get equal performance with a Hisense.
I appreciate the input, Showing is proof otherwise i can say anything for people to believe. I use TH-cam TV and it looks great and i know some people don’t have as good as picture but unfortunately I can’t show every scenario for every person situation but 16mins of footage from over 5hrs of clips I’m sure there’s some value there for you. It’s time to update brother your cable company probably has 4k options. Have a great day
i have a 3070 and plan to use it for gaming on cod and gta with my controller and see how’s movies and youtube hold up. i’ll let you know what i think after i get it
I have an LG OLED B7, I might get this cause my LG has bad burnt pixels, I'm done with OLED, this seems perfect for my everyday tv watching in my bright room.
Steve, Your review are Always the Best. I have a New in the box h9G w balance of 3 year warranty. Should I sell it and buy the U8H? We are not Gammer's. The most important things are Color Pop and 3D Dimentionality We are going to be using the tv in a light controlled room streaming 4K movies and content via LAN Ethernet and 4K Firestick as well as Upscaling 720p nd 1080p OTA Broadcasts broadcasts Based on our useage if you were me, which would YOU choose? Thanks as always, for your Excellent and Unbiased Reviews
bad thing is now since i do not no longer use cable tv , i dont need a tv no more , since i have roko most the time on my pc im eather playing games or watching netflix. and at night when i lay down i watch a few long youtube videos then i go to bed.
I got the 55" TV for £739 in the UK. I can honestly say the quality is amazing for the Xbox Series X 120hz gaming. IMAX enhanced movies are a different level. The OS is VIDAA and it is actually quite user friendly. Great review for a great TV.
You may be sold, great hardware and because your version of the U8H has the GoogleTV OS. However, many with the same hardware are equipped with the VIDAA OS. You would then change your mind when you realise how limiting VIDAA OS is.
I had this TV for about a week and ended up returning it. HDR content was way too dark to the point where I couldn't see ANYTHING during dark scenes. But the main reason I got rid of it was I just couldn't get it correctly calibrated for my use as a PC monitor. The TV looked great when using the built in apps and for gaming but it was horrible as PC monitor. I found myself having to constantly adjust the settings depending on what i was doing on my PC. So I definitely WOULD NOT recommend this TV for use as a PC monitor.
@@Toddscamry-lk5wr sure when it comes to having to calibrate gamma and stuff like that, but bottomline is you shouldn't have to do that to get a good picture. After returning this TV I bought a TLC TV instead and I barely had to adjust the settings to get a good picture, which is exactly how a TV should be. If it takes you an hour to get a good picture then it's not a problem with the user it's a problem with the TV, and i may not be a complete genius when it comes to calibrating a TV but I do consider myself pretty tech savvy, hell throw a broke PC in front of me and I'll have it fixed in no time, or a cellphone, but I swear I was ready to throw this TV out my window. If you had no problem using it as a monitor then I would genuinely love to know what settings you used because after talking to many other people in various forums they also had huge problems using the TV as a monitor for the exact reason i did.
@@NonLegitNation2 I use my TV as a dedicated monitor as well, the AMD Freesync is tempting, that's why I've been eye balling it, but I'm put off because it doesn't have a PC mode for the PC Master Race users... That's a big NO SALE! They cut out a huge customer base by omitting a PC Mode.
Hey just got the TV, can someone please recommend a Budget friendly laptop that's supports hdr content that I can use to connect to the TV? And also doesn't it have to be connected via HDMI or Bluetooth for hdr?
I got this TV at 65 inch, it has tons of options to tweak the picture but I found what I like for gaming like xbox 360 and ps4. This TV also has some very good blacks for a LED LCD its nice but this TV has a blurring issue that is a bit much. I am more use to OLED and the blurring is not a problem for Blu ray content, newer video games, 4K content. However on content on my TV box using iptv or OTA antenna the channels are very blurry on content 720p and less but even 1080p content has some blurring. A big reason is the TV is huge but also the upscaling, pixel response time is not good and I wonder what settings I can do to reduce this. I have the motion set to custom with Judder at 3 and blur reduction at 7. I have motion clearness off because the soap opera effect sucks. These channels have motion pixelation even on a OLED but its just much worse with fast action turning into those squares. Hopefully I can get some tips. Also the TV is so bright which washes colors that I have brightness set to 25 to 30.
Hello, dear guide I have a question To watch football games and movies What brand of TV do you recommend me? Size 55 inches Above all, image quality is my priority u8H is a suitable option in your opinion
Hi, how do you use the main features of this tv- HDR, Dolby Atmos, Dolby Vision, 120hz, etc, if nothing is plugged into the (2) 120hz, eARC HDMI slots. I just have tv plugged in w/ power cord so I don’t know if I can see videos in HDR/ Dolby Atmos/Vision etc. video. Should do a video on this, as many probably has this question. Please help! Thank you.
hmm I hope this will support my gaming PC I dont use all the stuff I just use my TV as a PC monitor one PC has kodi wit hall my Movies and older TV shows and the other my gaming PC my old 1080p RCA i would just hit the source button to switch between the two watching this makes me think it might have been a mistake ordering this TV yesterday or it could be just a slight learning curve going from a normal plain LED tv to a smart tv with features i will probably never use lol I like things simple like this remote hit source scroll once I really dont want to have to go search through a menu just to change the source hehe
Hey first time checking out your content. Great review lots of good information. I was curious as an Xbox series X owner I have heard that this TV is not displaying 4K 120 at the moment? Is this true or have they updated the software? Thank you!
Let’s start over, i should the result on the video and it can, people aren’t putting it in enhanced mode as I spoke about on the video , some people are commenting that some tvs are not truly 120Hz, I thought you were one of those guys. Sorry for that. I deleted the thread
@@TechSteve no sir I'm definitely not one of those guys that believes it's not 120 Hz. Just wanted to clarify with people that have actually had time with the TV. Like I said I appreciate you responding.
I got mine for 899 and the next day it was back up to 999. It still doesnt say its the Black Friday Deal price.....but who knows for sure. I am very glad I got it when I did. None in our area and had to wait a week for it to be delivered.
Hey TechSteve! I need your help please. Which TV would you go with the Hisense U8H Mini LED OR LG A2 OLED?? The LG OLED A2 is only 60hz, but the Hisense U8H is a 120hz so Im not sure which one to go with? 🤷 Bestbuy has the 48" LG A2 OLED on sale right now for $569.99.
So has Hisense ripped off we Aussies by giving us a U7H+ instead of the U8H as seen overseas ? It really sucks that we don't get the Subwoofer, we also get their OS instead of pure Android . Gee thanks Hisense :(
I still think Hisense is still 2-3 years out for me to consider for purchase. That will allow time to see how well this brand holds out. Also, Hisense is new to mini-led so I would NEVER buy a first generation anything. Too many bugs plus I honestly don't trust Hisense quality as far as longer term ownership
This u8h 65 inch just arrived this week. Love it - got it for 899 and used some gift cards. with best buy total tech i already got for other purchases if this doesnt hold up within 2 years its covered. Dont think I could have beat this for the price - almost prefer it over my LG CX 55
@@Silverfalcon8 I moved the CX to the location where i use the TV the most. I would still choose it for the most used tv in the house but for almost half the cost and 10 inches larger i am more than satisfied with the picture in its location. Living room with 3 direct windows facing EAST. Bright enough for that, larger, and still keep an xbox series X on it. for Non Oled screen, either i scored big on panel lottery or this tv is just very good. Little to no banding, hardly any blooming and great black levels, although not quite up to oled, i am very happy with it. I realize that didnt quite answer your question and I dont really have one. IF someone is using the Oled I will not be upset to go use the u8h is my best answer.
I bought in 75 inch from AMAZON for $1300 blk Friday deal from $1500 WEEK ago i was lucky ..then 5 minutes after went back to order another one said out of stock HUH???? Sold out in 5 minutes?? left me all high & dry mother fathers .at least i got one...f*n sales like HOT CAKES for months now , hard to get one in stock in ANY SIZE ANYWHERE!
@@SFBenjaminK The total number of these tv's at BestBuy is low as well. Look at how few of last years models that were sold. Makes me wonder. Samsung sells a ton more tv's. Most interesting is the star rating for the higher end Hisense tv's is always lower than 5 stars
Really enjoy your vids. I don’t think I’ll ever buy a Hisense again. Around Christmas 2020 I couldn’t resist the price and value so I got a 65 inch. It died two months ago, basically toast. I replaced it with a Sony x90k and am so happy. Thanks to you and other reviews. Hisense tends to offer awesome features and really great IQ but I’m not sold on their quality. They really are significantly cheaper than top brands. Idk.
@@TechSteve I ended up getting the 65 U8H and love it! I've only ever bought the cheapest tv I could find until now. Huge difference even in day to day viewing with the 120hz panel. Thanks for your review!
Thanks for showing us the tuner, and lack of guide. Wonder if the tuner would show up in Google's Live Channel's app? That's what i use with my Chromecast, and hdhomerun. PEACE

What is better this tv or sony x90k?
Thoughts and settings on the Hisense 75U8H.
I want to thank the reviewer for their time and effort in creating the reviews for this model series.
So I’ve been living with my Hisense 75U8H for about a month now, and I wanted to share my thoughts and settings for those that may find it useful in some way.
I’m not a gamer so there won’t be anything related to that. I’m fortunate to have a light controlled environment and these settings are mainly based on that, with most viewing done at night and with the ambient light kit also recommended by another reviewer.
The quality is everything that has been said about this model series, including the black levels truly approaching oled territory, with virtually no noticeable blooming.

Played with every setting to no avail. So I reset back to ground zero and pulled out my ancient AVSHD disc and carefully proceeded. So after putting a bunch of hours on the set( yes, they do break-in), and tweaking everything for the different sources and inputs, the color finally started to settle in. The flesh tones are now 90 to 95 percent accurate, yellows and golds and browns look like they’re supposed to without any tint leaning in one direction or another, and the greens now have the variation you would expect to see in a mixed scene of trees and grass, etc.
The following are the settings based on a wide variety of material on all the sources, and in setting the backlight, contrast and local dimming so it doesn’t melt my retinas, but still has a good level of ”kick” and dynamic range. Of particular note is my go-to reference disc of The Fifth Element (the good pressing), because it has such a wide variety of colors and levels of saturation, which makes it challenging to reproduce accurately. Filmmaker Mode was the starting point where applicable for SDR. HDR is kind of all over the place in terms of settings, for me at least. When HDR is flagged, the three default choices that you’re given work for some things but not all, so I’ve had to tweak things based on the particular content being viewed. Again, personal taste and the room it’s being viewed in.
Also, since the Dolby Vision issue has not been fixed at this point, I used the “Custom” mode to tweak that in.
The bottom line is, I feel these are all good starting points before a “real” calibration, but each person has their own taste and preferences, so of course, feel free to tweak-away!

If they can just have the regular amount of ads that would be great! Because it makes watching the free TH-cam unwatchable because of how many more extra ads there is. I get it that some TH-camrs have more ads than other but it’s not that I’m convinced it’s the TV. Other than that still great.
So all the problems like "stuttering and like the" posterisation something are all fixed now after the update? So it's now a complete tv?
I have Hisense u6g and it’s by far the best tv I’ve ever purchased considering price to performance. I’ll be picking up the 65 u8h for my living room and moving the u6g to bedroom and I couldn’t be more excited.
I have a cheap Hisense 43" with local dining, Roku for 2019. Paid 220.00 for it. I use also as a computer monitor as well. My Mac mini M1 work great with it. I use an app called EasyRes set at 2304x1296, 60 HZ. It scales perfectly for these old 62 year old eyes. I still have a windows 11 machine hooked up to it, but windows scaling sucks. People are amazed at the picture quality, they cannot believe it's a 220..00 TV.
I have been with Hisense since 1080p non smart TVs and it's still going strong I have r7 Roku and have a Hisense 65 in H9F and that is what started the QD for Hisense and is my bedroom tv I also have a Sony 49 inch x950h that was 2x cost of H9F it's only marginally better than the 65 in better quality that's saying a lot m, Hisense has been killing it for some time
Good thing I don't have apple or a sound bar....so those cons don't affect me. I would just be mounting it. I do wish you delved into the PS5 gameplay a little more
Retention drops off that why i just show samples
@@TechSteve does standard mount seem like it's no issue?
I’m a OLED owner and love this tv!
You've sold me on it too Steve great review as always I think Hisense did it this year with great value for the money. Not everyone can afford the OLED level of TV's and this fits smack in the middle I hope I can get one during the sale (fingers crossed) cause they're not sold here in Jamaica so gonna have to bring it in. Keep up the good work bro big up yuh self iyah 👍
Yeah check the specs it may be completely different over there. 🇯🇲
OK, I am not buying a TV but I am Tech Steve. Your video review of a Hisense A6H convinced me to get it for my garage and that enhanced HDMI setting helped me out.
@6:47 - I have this TV connected to an HTPC and the VRR works fine. I have it set to 1440p 120hz and it works with most gaming scenarios including emulators (Dolphin and Redream are a real treat at 4x native with Freesync). Note that tearing may occur if the framerate dips below 60 too often.
What's tearing?
@Wax Doe it's where the screen wants 60 fps but the source is less, so it displays the old image with the new image on the top half
Can it go above 1440p?
My 2010 Panasonic 50” Plasma is still going good as my daily viewer in the living room. Getting ready to get a new 4K soon though.
Steve...great video....I'm sold too! This to order in December this year!
Thanks Steve you helped me make my decision My first 4K TV is the U8H and we are impressed.
You’re welcome 👍🏽
Thanks for this, Steve! I am sold. Buying this tv soon!
You’re welcome
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉Tec please update your comment regarding airplay on the Hisense 8 uhd min led TV. It is available.
For those of us in the UK and Europe dont get excited our version is absolutely horrible and aint half as good as the US one.
Germany here
just returned mine, hdr and dolby vision is broken, absolutely trash extremely washed out image. SDR was ok though
@@ejdhdjejejebdnem Crazy thing is they have just released a new U8H in China and its even better than the US one by some distance
Was looking at the Costco deal for £850, guess I'll pass
@@EsoTarek Go for the TCL 835...as good if not better than the US Hinsense and we get the proper one here in UK
@@flaw3dgenius222 not available in Costco (prefer to buy from them for their no quibbles 5yr warranty), curry's has it for 900 with a 2yr warranty only. Costco do have the LG C2 on offer till the end of the day for 980 (55inch)
Best LED tv on the market! Plus it’s cheap. Just as good as the Samsung S95B for half the price! Don’t overpay for a name
Great video!! Sold me on getting the U8H 55 inch especially the 4k 120hz game play! Next up after this will be a OLED for me!!
This here is my next tv. Absolutely as it is primarily for my Xbox, but streaming movies also. Looking forward to it.
Thank you brother. This was a thoughtful and complete review. I appreciate it. 😊
Great review. I enjoy your channel, very good stuff.
Really appreciate you brother. Just picked up the 75 inch U8H
You’re welcome
Hey man, how are you liking it after 2 months in?
@HelloImMaxxHennard I haven’t used since the video
@@TechSteve I was actually asking SoCal Says, but damn, very cool of you to respond to my comment! Definitely staying subscribed!
@HelloImMaxxHennard why would you unsubscribe?
Everything u need to know from someone who has owned several hisense TV's.
They use cheap components inside so I hope u have the extended warranty bc you will need it. I had problems with mine in year two and year 3 of ownership. So good luck.
Has pretty dang good side viewing too for a led. No sound bar needed in my opinion unless you have a high end bar
Thanks Steve! Mine will be delivered on Saturday!
Delivered on Saturday, set up on Sunday morning and enjoying NFL football Sunday afternoon. Also did the updates and initial set up changes and it looks great. No complaints here.
Price of Sony x90k is comparable now. Color and no calibration needed out of the box and Sony brand reliability and quality control. Plus high resale value in Facebook marketplace. I’m going Sony.
I got one it is amazing one of the best 4K TV's ever. good video Steve 👍🏾💯
Thanks Chris, what’s the pros and cons you’re seeing?
@@TechSteve yeah it could be better but I'm not complaining.💯
Ok 👍🏽
You sold me on this. Mostly with the Sony comparison. Love it, thank you.
I got one 65 inch Best Buy for $1000 and it’s awesome!
Love your videos sir, wanted to know would this TV be good for a very lit room?
Such a thorough review. Thanks Steve.
Thanks for watching
I just got the 75” of this. The biggest down side for me is not having magic remote anymore like my old LG TV. Magic remotes are so good and you can buy replacements anywhere that work straight out of the box.l everyone breaks their remote when they have kids 😂
Hate the pos magic remote i got LG C2 hate the remote
@@Toddscamry-lk5wr really? Why? You can still use it like a normal remote you just have added air mouse function if you want it. So much quicker and easier to move around and type.
@@Toddscamry-lk5wr yup I hated the magic remote on an LG I used to own.
Great review usual Steve
Great content on all tvs Steve
I bought this tv on boxing day. I love in Vancouver Canada. The 65 inch u8h was $2000CA before taxes regular price, but it was on sale for $1500CA. The sales man dropped the price even further for me, I ended up getting this tv for $1360CA before taxes. After taxes, the tv was $1530CA. Not a bad deal if I must say so my self
Was gonna purchase one of these last week. However, I was able to purchase a brand new Sony 65 x90k for 1269 before taxes here in Toronto from a local Sony dealer. Very happy I went the Sony route. However this Hisense is still a decent model. If it was $1000 CAD I'd be all over it.
Great review! I guess I’m sort of a dinosaur but one thing that seems to be missing from this and other reviews is upscaling capability from a cable box. If you could include that it would be helpful. Thanks!
That should be elementary part of any tv review but not on this channel.
Upscaling is overrated in my opinion, if you have a great signal any TV does a decent job. Trust me I tried to reproduce a demo and it was pointless. That’s why you don’t see it on videos guys
But the way how would you recommend filming it without copyright material?
You don’t necessarily need to film it, it would just be nice to know how it compares to other tvs since cable only comes in at 720 or 1080 at best. The internal software then takes over to convert it to 4k right? I’ve always heard Sony does that best but would love to save the money and get equal performance with a Hisense.
I appreciate the input, Showing is proof otherwise i can say anything for people to believe. I use TH-cam TV and it looks great and i know some people don’t have as good as picture but unfortunately I can’t show every scenario for every person situation but 16mins of footage from over 5hrs of clips I’m sure there’s some value there for you. It’s time to update brother your cable company probably has 4k options. Have a great day
i have a 3070 and plan to use it for gaming on cod and gta with my controller and see how’s movies and youtube hold up. i’ll let you know what i think after i get it
How’d it go ?
I’m getting this TV in a couple week and I have a ps5 . What HDMI cable should I get for the best picture/performance ?
Certified HDMI 2.1 the ps5 cable should be fine
Very nice, detailed review! Great content!
Thanks
Outsourcing advice LG B2 77” or U8H 75” ? They’re nearly the same price with current deals. Room lighting isn’t a factor.
I have an LG OLED B7, I might get this cause my LG has bad burnt pixels, I'm done with OLED, this seems perfect for my everyday tv watching in my bright room.
Steve,
Your review are Always the Best.
I have a New in the box h9G w balance of 3 year warranty. Should I sell it and buy the U8H?
We are not Gammer's.
The most important things are Color Pop and 3D Dimentionality
We are going to be using the tv in a light controlled room streaming 4K movies and content via LAN Ethernet and 4K Firestick as well as Upscaling 720p nd 1080p OTA Broadcasts broadcasts
Based on our useage if you were me, which would YOU choose?
Thanks as always,
for your Excellent and Unbiased Reviews
bad thing is now since i do not no longer use cable tv , i dont need a tv no more , since i have roko most the time on my pc im eather playing games or watching netflix. and at night when i lay down i watch a few long youtube videos then i go to bed.
I got the 55" TV for £739 in the UK. I can honestly say the quality is amazing for the Xbox Series X 120hz gaming. IMAX enhanced movies are a different level. The OS is VIDAA and it is actually quite user friendly. Great review for a great TV.
Awesome review! This tv seems impressive.
It's good
Whatever happened to the u9h
I'm reading in the best buy comments that the TV isn't true 4k/120. They say you have to compromise at 1080p or 1440 at 120hz.
That's out of date. There is a "text optimizer" which allows for 4k 120hz on the newer update
How does this stack up against the TCL R646? Any major differences or are they fairly the same in terms of picture quality.
I had the tcl r646 and brought it back due to cloudy screen I purchased the u8h night and day difference I would definitely recommend this
If i see a 480p video on 4k tv through USB port or through Blu ray player usb port which upscalling is best?
I bought the TCL R655 55 inch. Phenomenal TV love it. I personally love roku so simple to use to fuss Google bs.
This tv have it all! Hisense really delivered for gamers.
Agreed
You may be sold, great hardware and because your version of the U8H has the GoogleTV OS. However, many with the same hardware are equipped with the VIDAA OS. You would then change your mind when you realise how limiting VIDAA OS is.
Picking up the 65 inch for 849.99 March 3rd 👈 currently the 75 inch is 1299.99 👈 does the 75 inch justify 450 more dollars 🤔
What to do ❓️
No appleplay? far from a deal breaker.
I had this TV for about a week and ended up returning it. HDR content was way too dark to the point where I couldn't see ANYTHING during dark scenes. But the main reason I got rid of it was I just couldn't get it correctly calibrated for my use as a PC monitor. The TV looked great when using the built in apps and for gaming but it was horrible as PC monitor. I found myself having to constantly adjust the settings depending on what i was doing on my PC. So I definitely WOULD NOT recommend this TV for use as a PC monitor.
Yeah, there isn’t a pc mode, i still prefer 27” monitors for the best image
Because you have no idea what your doing
@@Toddscamry-lk5wr sure when it comes to having to calibrate gamma and stuff like that, but bottomline is you shouldn't have to do that to get a good picture. After returning this TV I bought a TLC TV instead and I barely had to adjust the settings to get a good picture, which is exactly how a TV should be. If it takes you an hour to get a good picture then it's not a problem with the user it's a problem with the TV, and i may not be a complete genius when it comes to calibrating a TV but I do consider myself pretty tech savvy, hell throw a broke PC in front of me and I'll have it fixed in no time, or a cellphone, but I swear I was ready to throw this TV out my window. If you had no problem using it as a monitor then I would genuinely love to know what settings you used because after talking to many other people in various forums they also had huge problems using the TV as a monitor for the exact reason i did.
@@NonLegitNation2 I use my TV as a dedicated monitor as well, the AMD Freesync is tempting, that's why I've been eye balling it, but I'm put off because it doesn't have a PC mode for the PC Master Race users... That's a big NO SALE! They cut out a huge customer base by omitting a PC Mode.
Hey just got the TV, can someone please recommend a Budget friendly laptop that's supports hdr content that I can use to connect to the TV? And also doesn't it have to be connected via HDMI or Bluetooth for hdr?
Just got mine today and it does have Apple Airplay.
Dude, your content is top notch! Please keep it coming!
I appreciate it, I’m working hard to step it up
How does the U8H compare to the 2020 H9G? That tv put Hisense on the map as a game changer.
Hey Steve I've heard so many great reviews about this TV being best bang for the buck. What's your thoughts?
The video is the answer Mike,
I got this TV at 65 inch, it has tons of options to tweak the picture but I found what I like for gaming like xbox 360 and ps4.
This TV also has some very good blacks for a LED LCD its nice but this TV has a blurring issue that is a bit much. I am
more use to OLED and the blurring is not a problem for Blu ray content, newer video games, 4K content. However on
content on my TV box using iptv or OTA antenna the channels are very blurry on content 720p and less but even 1080p
content has some blurring. A big reason is the TV is huge but also the upscaling, pixel response time is not good and
I wonder what settings I can do to reduce this. I have the motion set to custom with Judder at 3 and blur reduction at 7.
I have motion clearness off because the soap opera effect sucks. These channels have motion pixelation even on a OLED
but its just much worse with fast action turning into those squares. Hopefully I can get some tips. Also the TV is so bright
which washes colors that I have brightness set to 25 to 30.
U7 65 inch or U8 55? Mostly for movies and games.
Hello, dear guide I have a question To watch football games and movies What brand of TV do you recommend me? Size 55 inches Above all, image quality is my priority u8H is a suitable option in your opinion
Man this tv has been on my radar for about a month now, however with the U8K on the horizon, I’m debating whether I should just wait.
I not sure all the improvements yet, just wait for now
Can I use it out side on my patio ?
Hey Steve . Great review ! Do you prefer the u8h or the Samsung s95b?
Both 65 inch
LG QNED $996.99
HISENSE U8H $898.00
Which would you buy?---Watch sports, TV shows and Streaming.
Nicely done ✔
Hi, how do you use the main features of this tv- HDR, Dolby Atmos, Dolby Vision, 120hz, etc, if nothing is plugged into the (2) 120hz, eARC HDMI slots. I just have tv plugged in w/ power cord so I don’t know if I can see videos in HDR/ Dolby Atmos/Vision etc. video. Should do a video on this, as many probably has this question. Please help! Thank you.

Would you buy this TV or the LG 85 QNED
Hello Steve!
What do you think, which tv is better choice for movies Hisense UH8 or TCL C835? or sonething else in this price range?
Hey first time checking out your content. Great review lots of good information. I was curious as an Xbox series X owner I have heard that this TV is not displaying 4K 120 at the moment? Is this true or have they updated the software? Thank you!
Let’s start over, i should the result on the video and it can, people aren’t putting it in enhanced mode as I spoke about on the video , some people are commenting that some tvs are not truly 120Hz, I thought you were one of those guys. Sorry for that. I deleted the thread
@@TechSteve no sir I'm definitely not one of those guys that believes it's not 120 Hz. Just wanted to clarify with people that have actually had time with the TV. Like I said I appreciate you responding.
Lmao my comment keeps getting deleted
So this tv is clearer then the 8000 crystal by samsung?
should I buy this TV now for 899 for 65" or wait if goes even lower?
I got mine for 899 and the next day it was back up to 999. It still doesnt say its the Black Friday Deal price.....but who knows for sure. I am very glad I got it when I did. None in our area and had to wait a week for it to be delivered.
Hey TechSteve! I need your help please. Which TV would you go with the Hisense U8H Mini LED OR LG A2 OLED?? The LG OLED A2 is only 60hz, but the Hisense U8H is a 120hz so Im not sure which one to go with? 🤷 Bestbuy has the 48" LG A2 OLED on sale right now for $569.99.
So has Hisense ripped off we Aussies by giving us a U7H+ instead of the U8H as seen overseas ? It really sucks that we don't get the Subwoofer, we also get their OS instead of pure Android . Gee thanks Hisense :(
That's so interesting how everything is different
I still think Hisense is still 2-3 years out for me to consider for purchase. That will allow time to see how well this brand holds out. Also, Hisense is new to mini-led so I would NEVER buy a first generation anything. Too many bugs plus I honestly don't trust Hisense quality as far as longer term ownership
This u8h 65 inch just arrived this week. Love it - got it for 899 and used some gift cards. with best buy total tech i already got for other purchases if this doesnt hold up within 2 years its covered. Dont think I could have beat this for the price - almost prefer it over my LG CX 55
@@MightyAimetti-1 How does the U8H compare to your LG CX, Which would you Choose
@@Silverfalcon8 I moved the CX to the location where i use the TV the most. I would still choose it for the most used tv in the house but for almost half the cost and 10 inches larger i am more than satisfied with the picture in its location. Living room with 3 direct windows facing EAST. Bright enough for that, larger, and still keep an xbox series X on it. for Non Oled screen, either i scored big on panel lottery or this tv is just very good. Little to no banding, hardly any blooming and great black levels, although not quite up to oled, i am very happy with it. I realize that didnt quite answer your question and I dont really have one. IF someone is using the Oled I will not be upset to go use the u8h is my best answer.
I bought in 75 inch from AMAZON for $1300 blk Friday deal from $1500 WEEK ago i was lucky ..then 5 minutes after went back to order another one said out of stock HUH???? Sold out in 5 minutes?? left me all high & dry mother fathers .at least i got one...f*n sales like HOT CAKES for months now , hard to get one in stock in ANY SIZE ANYWHERE!
@@SFBenjaminK The total number of these tv's at BestBuy is low as well. Look at how few of last years models that were sold. Makes me wonder. Samsung sells a ton more tv's. Most interesting is the star rating for the higher end Hisense tv's is always lower than 5 stars
Really enjoy your vids. I don’t think I’ll ever buy a Hisense again. Around Christmas 2020 I couldn’t resist the price and value so I got a 65 inch.
It died two months ago, basically toast. I replaced it with a Sony x90k and am so happy. Thanks to you and other reviews. Hisense tends to offer awesome features and really great IQ but I’m not sold on their quality. They really are significantly cheaper than top brands. Idk.
Most Hisense comes with a standard 2yr warranty and 100 day satisfaction clause now
@@TechSteve yes that’s good.
I like but is Chinis tv for how long has to be good howmany years warranty
I'm still waiting for the day they'll make something closer to LG Oled C1.
Great video 👍
Is Google tv buggy on this set like the TCL models? I'm really interested if not.

@@TechSteve I ended up getting the 65 U8H and love it! I've only ever bought the cheapest tv I could find until now. Huge difference even in day to day viewing with the 120hz panel. Thanks for your review!
You’re welcome, it’s interesting how many people will not investment in something they watch every single day. I’m glad it’s working out for you
@@TechSteve sir, are the problems like stuttering, solved now in u8h after the updates? Cuz i really like this tv.
Still waiting for vendors to institute DP 2.0 which has been out now for 3 years. Although that is more of a monitor requirement rather than a TV.
I heard China is getting a new U8H version which is exclusive to their region. A pro version or something
I need that 75 inch but for 1500$ na I will just go a bit small and get that 65 for under 900$. 🤷♂️
I have the choice between the 75U8H or TCL C935. Which one should I go for?!
This. The C935 has flicker issues
Can you check out the U7H? Thanks 🙏
What do you think about The Hisense ULED Premium U7H QLED series 85 inch ?
Thanks for showing us the tuner, and lack of guide. Wonder if the tuner would show up in Google's Live Channel's app? That's what i use with my Chromecast, and hdhomerun. PEACE
the tv works well in 4K 120hz games? I saw on the Rting site that it had red ghost images in 4k 120hz
I have the 55U7G during prime day for under $500
For Black Friday, the 65" U8H is $899 and the TCL R646 is $599. Is the Hisense worth the extra $300?
