Brilliant review. Thanks for sharing so much detail on what to expect and what makes it even better is that your review is from an SA perspective 👏👏👏👏
Thank you so much for watching! Glad you enjoyed the review! I do strive to provide the best local experience to help South Africans. We have drastically different TVs here so it is important people know what they are getting.
@@GLITCHEDZAHello. Greetings from Houston. I currently have a Samsung 85' QN90A. I want something bigger and better for a dark control room. I love OLED, but the G4 83' or 98' are too expensive. The Hisense 100' U8K is back to $3,000, and the 98' Sony X90L went down to $5,000. Is it worth the $2,000 difference? I also have a Sony OLED 77' X80J, so I know what Sony brings to the table in regards to processing and upscaling low content, but $2,000 is a lot. What would you recommend for size and price at these sizes ( 98-100). I don't do any gaming. I Just do streaming, OTA, and 4k UHD blu-ray movies. I'd appreciate any input. Thanks
@@menacordero1 I do love Sony TVs. The panel calibration is unmatched. But the U8K is a much brighter TV thanks to its mini-LED tech. If you want something brighter for HDR content then I would say go for that. It is also bigger.
You could also look at Sony's Bravia 7 but it only goes up to 85". That is a decent Mini-LED TV. I do think $2000 more for a Sony is a lot to ask especially if it only has full array. The U8K at 100" is pretty impressive for that price and panel.
The best thing about Hisense TV is that they can be found for about R10K less a few months after launch, making them an even greater buy.
So happy there's a South Africa channel that does these sort of stuff.
That is true. Even when this new range launched last year, they were R5k off at launch on a "special launch promo". I think a lot of people are sleeping on Hisense but they are slowly taking of the SA TV market. Also, thanks for watching! Got more Hisense stuff coming up this year too. The "N" range and 85UX very soon.
This is how every review should look like! Great insightful comments, nice shootings, very good video production. Greetings from Poland :)
Thank you very much!🥂
Looking forward to your U8NQ and U7NQ review 🙌🏻 and please do a U8N vs U8K comparison 🙌🏻
65" has VA panel, 75" and 85" are IPS-ADS. U7K are all VA. I think.
So refreshing hearing a SA accent doing tv reviews, on actual tv's we get in SA. Seems like we always gt the more watered down versions.
We really do hey! I realised this a while back when I compared all brands. Hisense, Samsung and TCL all have different models here. Sony and LG seems to be the only TV brands that are one-to-one. Pity we haven't had any new Sony or LG models in SA in two years now. I worry Sony might even be leaving SA again.
Great video 👏🏽. I just have one question, is the TV wall-mountable considering that it comes with quiet a large stand
Yes, it is mountable. You'll just leave the stand off the TV and mount it using a VESA mount. The mount will screw into the back of the TV,
600x400 mount
Thank you for this informative video, its been very difficult for me to pull the plug and purchase this tv due to insufficient information,,
Does the 75inch u8k also feature the same VA panel ?
Thanks for watching! Yes, the 75-inch in SA has a VA panel. However, the US version is ADS Pro. So it depends on where you stay.
@@GLITCHEDZA much appreciated thank you , do you prefer the VA panel over the ADS pro panel ?
Regarding the VA panels in the SA models the 65u8k vs the 75u8k would the picture quality be superior on the 65inch vs the 75inch ?
@@GLITCHEDZA i have read on the takealot website that the contrast ratio of the 75inch is 2000:1 as apposed to 5000:1 on the 65inch is this correct ? Will this not cause a substantial difference in picture quality?
LG qned 863RE or Hisense U8KQ? Gaming is my priority.
Guess what wanna know is will u7k hdr wow me more so then a c1 cause its brightness is not great i know oled blacks are insnae but i like bright
I am considering this or the TCL C755. Any feedback regarding the TCL would be appreciated.
Wish I could help with TCL advice. Sadly I have reached out to the brand to cover local models and they haven't come through. However, spec-wise, they seem very similar. I just can't speak for the quality and brightness of the TV.
Hii, great review, very detaile and in depth.
So I'm thinking about buying the 65" Hisense U8KQ, would you recommend it overall? I'm coming from a Samsung QN90C, I'm looking a miniLED with more brightness and more zones.
Did you buy it, what are your thoughts about it if you did?
@@imeprezime1069 Hi Imeprezime,
No, sorry. I didnt buy it. I decided to stick with my QN90C for now.
However, after having watched basically all reviews on the U8K, I'm pretty sure it has to be the best you can get on its price range.
If I had to go buy a TV today, I would get this U8KQ.
But what I believe its best for you if youre thinking about buying it, just keep asking people like me if they bought it, so you can have a first hand review.
Have a good one!
Thanks ; is the panel positioned slightly in front like lg 2016 tvs ?
I was the versions of the Hisense U8K sold here in the United States had the center pedestal instead of the legs
Pls help! I recently bought a 55 u8k but when i put the game mode the image lost alot of quality. The image is washed out. Its look like 720p quality. I cant figured out how to improve the image in game mode. Help pls. I play in ps5
Have you made sure to use the "Enhanced HDMI" setting on the TV itself? Also be sure that your PS5 is set up correctly meaning HDR is enabled, and Resolution is on Auto.
@@GLITCHEDZA yes! All that is enable. Hdmi enhance, HDR enable, automatic resolution, etc. the quality in normal mode its much superior than the game mode, the problem is that in normal mode i get to Much imput lag. Should i return the TV ?
@@DeMencyany luck? Have you tried resetting the tv?
@@stephenperry5021 No. I notice the majority of tv’s when you put the game mode suffer a downgrade on the image quality in order to low imputlag. The TV disable many functions, quality image functions to give you the better performance.
The only brand that keep the image quality and smoothnees on game mode is Samsung. So i return my tv Hisense an i bought a Samsung QN90D
Much much better!
Hi, plz help.I bought a u8k 55 inch off of takealot, but mine came with a figure 8 power cable instead of the kettle plug is it due to the size difference?
Yes it uses less power so it doesn’t require a kettle plug. It’s quite common for 55-inch TVs and even some 65-inch models to use figure 8.
Thanks 🙏
My TV has Low Blue Light Mode locked in automatic, what can i do to turn it off?
Turn off ur tv
Change your colour mode to bluer picture setting, keepint it in warm locks in low blue light
Would you go for this over the U7K considering it's quite a lot more expensive?
I would personally. The U8K’s brightness and panel is just much better. The U7K is great but if you’re spending you might as well get the best. I see here in SA it’s got a crazy discount for Black Friday already. Making the U8K almost the same price as the U7K. Not sure if you’re from SA but might be something to look into.
@@GLITCHEDZA yes I'm in SA, where do you see this special? Appreciate the response!
Did u say it’s exactly like the US version or different?
It is slightly different in terms of the design style and the operating system but the technical side of the TV is the same.
@@GLITCHEDZA so picture quality is the same. Did u also review the tcl qm8? I feel like this one is kinda bland compared to that tv
I'm curious between getting a Hisense U8H or a U7K
Being in a country like Botswana is surely limiting as the only Mini-LED we currently have is the 55inch Hisense U8H which is a 2022 series model currently retailing for P10,999 (roughly 14,600 rands) only sold at one store; Home Corp. Seeing as it is that the U7k is sold out in most stores in South Africa, I doubt Botswana would be receiving the U7/8k models any time soon.
Would I still be losing out on purchasing the U8H? Seeing that there are already K and now N models out now?? Or should I just wait till possibly next year for the U7/8k to arrive here
Edit: Lovely reviews by the way! US versions of the Hisense models have been dominating TH-cam for far too long, glad to see you breaking the chain mate.
Thanks for watching and for the support!
The U8K was quite a big improvement over the H tbh. The VA panel is especially a big deal for the TV as it helps eliminate the nasty blooming caused by the Mini-LEDs in the U8H. The IPS panel in that TV just suffered from some clouding. It is still present in the U8K but definitely not as bad.
So if there is a way to get the U8K in your region, even if it means waiting a bit, I would. I am not sure about the U8N just yet. I am waiting for review samples on that TV to arrive. But I don't think Hisense will bring huge improvements to that TV lineup this year tbh. I think they will focus on improving the lower-end U7N and U6N rather than the U8N. There isn't much more they can do with the U8N compared to the U8K.
I was already wondering if my tv was a real UK8, because all the other reviews shows a different model. Even tough it says u8k on the box I was skeptical about it.
I’m from Brazil but living in Cape Town, and your model it’s exactly like mine, even the remote it’s different from all the other versions, like European and USA
If ur buying this tv, u have the money to invest in a proper surround sound system. The tv's built in sound is supposed to replace the sound bar, not ideal, but I think that is hownthe designed it. Alternatively, u could get a stand for the tv to lift it higher.
Better than the TCL QM8?
Most say you cant go wrong with either one. Some reviewers like QMB better, some like U8K better.
@@donkey3187 I ended up with the Sony A80L instead lol
@@dillsnufus I'm looking to get the U8K...great price and all the reviewers say its fantastic
enjoying on my 55u7h
Haha! It’s a great TV! The video should have played in HDR too (if TH-cam processed it in time👀)
@@GLITCHEDZA u6k or u7h, which one will you choose?
Again review. Would you prefer u7n or u8k?
55 or 65 inch?
I haven't had time with the U7N yet (only in August) so can't compare it. I am hoping it is close to the U8K. But I would go for the U8K given my experience with it.
Crazy. I'm from SA and after days reviewing videos of the the US version with (2 leg stand) I purchased this TV, took 1 last squizz on TH-cam and see your review. A fellow South African.
Hoping you can shed some light, I'm sure you've seen the overseas u8k models, are they different in any way? I notice the UI and even the power cables are different. I know we usually get the budget version of already budget version'd things so...Did I make a good choice?
My needs for the TV are PS5 gaming and streaming for long periods.
Glad you came across this review. It is important to share a "local" model review for users as these TVs are "slightly" different.
But don't stress, you made the right choice. Hisense has been working to align the SA counterpart with the US model and every year they have been getting closer and closer. The "K" range has been the closest.
The U8K is almost identical to the US model here in SA when it comes to the tech inside of it. Same panel, dimming zones, brightness etc. The only thing you'll need to live with is the operating system which is VIDAA. Hisense has a mandate for EMEA regions to include VIDAA on their TVs so that can't change sadly. But if you want Android I suggest getting a media box.
Honestly, I would say get a media box for any TV unless it runs Android TV because all TV OS is pretty meh.
But the TV you got is excellent and one of the best on the market. It may look different but the performance is the same as the US model.
@GLITCHEDZA Damn! Major props for the additional info brother. Really appreciate it - Definitely earned a new sub.
Yeah i think I'm gonna just use an additional TV box like you suggested. I'll see how I'm liking the VIDAA OS tho. I'm currently on a 2019 Samsung UHD and it's older software so I might just find this OS being an upgrade lol.
Really cool to hear the positive feedback and it's much appreciated. Don't want to start a whole Q&A here but just 1 more question - as I'm new to Mini LED's, are there any precautions I should take or anything to be weary off with these units? Like burn in or backlights overheating etc.
(Experienced this with my UHD a few years back)
@@NathanTG See where you go with VIDAA. It has all the apps you need but I do prefer to install my own APKs like Smart Tube (A TH-cam app without ads), Syncler (for streaming content) etc.
The only thing to keep an eye on with Mini LED TVs is the energy consumption. If it is something you worry about. They use a lot of power. 300W - 400W depending on the scene. I know when I used the U8K with my EcoFlow during loadshedding, it would deplete the battery a lot faster than my Sony LED. Nota a huge deal but they are a bit more power-hungry.
Is this the Australian model?
I am not entirely sure. I "think" we get the same model. Be sure to look at the TV's stand beforehand. If your models have this same square stand then yes. It is the same.
@GLITCHEDZA Well, the US model doesn't have the stand that you have it has the two feet that's why I was wondering what country are you in
We are in South Africa. We have quite different models to the US here. In fact, we manufacture Hisense TVs here and they get shipped to most EMEA regions. But I am not entirely sure what models get launched in Australia. @@bradhaughton6698
@@GLITCHEDZA oh ok
I wonder how much better this is compared to the U8H here in SA
I reviewed the local U8H too last year. It's definitely a bit better tbh. The VA panel helps a lot with blooming, also 144Hz this year.
The 65" u8k is going for 16999 at the moment. I'm gonna bonus this end of year
If you're going to pick it up at the end if the year it will likely be even cheaper by then. Hisense plans to launch the "N" range soon which means the K TVs will drop. But maybe see if there isn't an "N" TV you can get for that price too? I will have loads of content up on the "N" range in the months ahead.
With the soundbar is the U8KQ, and Not the U8K is without Soundbar.
Is it worlds better u7k
The black level looks grey, and blooming is terrible 😫
Very nice review, though 👌
Prolly has the worst setting watch quantum hd he says it’s near oled better than the qm8
No, all reviews Ive seen on this tv says no blooming to speak of and the black levels are fantastic.
You might be colour blind if you see grey 😂 because all I see almost perfect blacks and almost no blooming for an mini led
My u8k don't look like this
That stand definitely is a NO 😢 other than great review🔥🫡
I love th3 stand
