One thing I've learned is that when it comes to these little differences is that when you're in the throws of a good movie and sucked into the story of what you're watching, you'll never really notice these little things. Totally worth the buy. I'm not sure I'll ever buy an OLED now with Hisense out here doing what they're doing.
In the white boxes scene it looked as if the Samsung hued more towards the red warm tone color and the Hisense more cool blue color. I'm definitely buying the Hisense this Friday and will be joining to get the calibration for the U8K. That picture quality you calibrated for the U8K looks amazing...Thank you for all that you do Quantum...
Hey Q two questions. One can you do a U8K comparison against the U8G? 2, I have the X900E, bought it (used) in 2019 off your recommendation.. To date has been the highest end set i've owned. like everyone else I've been in best buy etc, seen sets like the C1,C2 and S95b in store on their settings. How would you describe the upgrade in viewing experience to someone coming from a panasonic elite plasma, to an x900e, to something like the s95b. Who wonders if it'll actually be a jaw dropping experience?. As always thank you for all the work you do.
Wow! The Hisense U8K really is putting out a fantastic picture! I really wish I could dial in my Mom‘s Hisense for her but it’s an older model and unfortunately it’s not one you have settings for so I just did the best by my eyesight and tried to apply what I have learned from being here, and I don’t think it’s horrible but I wish I could do better.
I haven't been able to view this TV in person but I am very interested in upgrading to a 65 inch U8K from my 50 inch Panasonic plasma from 2010.. My issue is that my wife and I sit in recliners to watch TV so neither of us can be directly in front of the screen. Viewing angles are very important to us and I just can't find anyone commenting about the off-axis viewing performance of this set. Will we be satisfied with the U8K or do I have to buy an OLED for the viewing angles? Thank you for any help.
That’s it!!!! After watching/reading reviews so many many times!!! I am buying 65 inch inch U8K next month im so exited! My first MiNiLeD first time with this brand 🎉
Might want to compare and consider the hisense u8h from last year. Amazon has it selling for $799 right now and there doesnt appear to be much of a difference in picture quality from the new u8k.
@@milehighboost5521 inch U8K on sale for 1099 at bestbuy saw it on display and the pictures and colors just amazing so colorful🤯that’s my 2nd option tho U8H
I picked up a 48" LG A2 OLED for about $569 of Dec of last year. I though that was a great deal for an OLED, got it for my bedroom. I'm still running my 55" Hisense H9F in the living room, still love my Hisense for the brightness and picture quality. Now this makes me look forward to upgrading to a newer Hisense mini-led in the future!
I got the same deal. It's a great TV for our bedroom. Now replacing family room TV, cant go over 65". Would you get this or something like a LG B2 or C2 for not much more?
Hey quantum I like your videos keep up the good work bro! This question doesn't have any thing to do with this video, but im curious, is the LG mla technology better than the Samsung QD oled?
Maybe this was mentioned in one of the review videos and I missed it but can you please describe/compare in depth the SDR content performance of the Hisense and the TCL? If I missed it can you please just let me know where to look? Would greatly appreciate that.
Mini Led and the costs savings are hard to beat. As for me, I like shadow details and vibrant colours. Here, mini led wins. There is a cooler colour push on the mini led, but that can be corrected by ifs processors.
Open box S95B vs new U8K is a difference of $300. What option do you go with? Casual TV streaming. Lots of movies/sports/news. No gaming now but maybe down the road.
love your video. One question I do have about the U8K: how does it hold up when watching sports? Love the movie portion that you describe in this video.
So my question is what do you think this would look like of in 2024 they make it a 10 bit and not an 8 bit? Assume everything else stayed exactly the same for Hisense but they Just made it 10 bit. Would it be exactly at the level of the S95B or would it be Arley a hair away that it would be almost impossible to notice with the naked eye? I wonder? Also, any news for next year model?
Their price has been consistently Rock bottom price in USA 🇺🇸 last 4 yrs. So maybe once ppl are finally accepting d brand n willing to pay extra to support the tech. I am sure they will. In China they ahve like 12 bit 16bit Tv, $$$$$$$ Their U8K in china, is like $450 more for 65”. It’s been like that last 4 yrs. I am in Canada, i hav to pay 30% more than US consumers for my 2 Hisense TV (cost me $2400) so far just for 1 55” 1 65”. Thats their Global Price. USA Hisense Flagship are Strip bare bone to give ppl d BEST image/quality for unthinkable price ,,,ppl just want cake eat it too n greedy. Lol. But the thing is in Busienss school….”when a reputable brand, if u make the product TOO good. U have to MATCH global high end price . If u mark down too low, u are NOT going to impress the $3000 tv ppl, they have the MONEY already they do NOT need d discount. U end up attracting the LOW budget GAmming community that GREEDY, want cake eat it too. when make TV/CAR too perfect, NOT only U LOSE d portentially HIGH end customers that sees d Gadget as LOW end, that they will never bother in the future(when too many Gammers buy it Cheap), when low budget gammers stilling living home or all they do is Gamming . They are USED to have EVERYTHING but pay NOTHING . It will just ANGER them if NOT keep delivering BEST spects for NO Frill price . It will Actual cause major cash flow issue n Brand image ruin. “ The stuff is available. Ppl just need to be happy with what they pay, willing to spend extra $300-$400 for each size to get d Most premium stuff. Then it Makes sense for them to launch their More premium stuff in USA/Canada :)
Wow! Never thought i'd be considering a hisense but now i'm between an open box s95b, qm8, and a u8k. Still may wait until black friday sales to make a final call on a 65"
Dude Black Friday sale 65” will be gone in like 30 min. Like all 3 will be gone. Buy like d days before. S95B has horrible Sound. So be prepared to throw in extra $800 for speakers. Do NOT get thoes small Bose300 small slim speakers. U need a like SONOS , SONY, Bose those long big tuby $800 + ones to Beat Hisense inplanted Speakers. I tried em in Bestbuy. :) 😅 comparing cuz I was gonna get Sound BAR. It was SHOCKING checking Bose entry level sound bar n sounded Worse. Lol.
@@birdtj82 Im not into soundbars but I bought 2 tower Pioneer SP-FS52 speakers and connected them to my Yamaha receiver and wow. The sound is amazing in my mid size living room.
@@birdtj82good call about the black friday sales. Plus, i wanted to have the new tv before football season starts. Just made my call on a hisense u8h instead of the u8k since they are so similar, $300 savings, and it's going in a crazy bright room. I have seen more reviews on the u8h being one of, if not the best, tvs for anti glare. The oled c1 is like a mirror in this room so it's going in my bedroom. Luckily the hisense will be paired with a higher end 7.2.2 system so the sound quality isn't a factor. Excited to see how this u8h compares to the c1 in this room.
Is there anyway to get rid of that green “matrix” hue from the Hisense via settings? It’s pretty much there throughout the comparisons, most obvious is the cat under the couch
I just bought a U8H 75" Australian version and the dimming zones are atrocious. I can count them turning on and off as word roll up the screen. There's 10 from top to bottom and 20 from left to right. Blooming is out of control. I don't know if it's a dud, but when there's a bright object on a dark background moving across the screen, I can literally see 4 inch squared blocks of light turning on and off. How many dimming zones does the U8K have?
Whites and Lights in Hisense seem to have a significant blue hue compared to S95b more natural or orangeish yellow, maybe incondesent is a better way to put the 95b. Really shows up in the Star Wars and Spiderman cuts. Thoughts?
In real life u prob wont see much of cool tone at all. Like how ivory beside a pale white , suddenly looks MORE of YELLOW? But beside colors, its so “Pale”. So what we see today, its either d Samsung made U8K looked more blue than it is. Or the U8K made Samsung looked more warm. They r both amazing minor toned . SONY this year is like PURPLE tuned. Omg its bad. Lol TCL, QM8 😮their Red looks all Orange. We prob see nothing when actually watch TV. Lol. :) 😊 that “cool” tone is quite mild. Very mild.
Have u heard of the term LESS is more??? This is exact what it meant. For example last 3 yrs SONY flagship panel…. X900h, A90J, X95K,,,,,LG C9 CX C1 all of em were like 550, 650 680, 700, 780nit PEAK. But for ppl Gammers in TECH. That they associate BETTER as --HGHER numbers, sort of 1 track mind. So in order to compete with other brands, they have to UP d brightness so much that prob -HAVE no choice. But MOST TV SHOWS/steaming 1000nit. Anything around 1000-1200 is good enough for like MOST comfortable WATCHING of yr eyes, which make u SEE MORE Bright Vibrant Colors. They up the 2000nit last yr, cuz Hisense is Relatively UN-recognized Brand for premium TV. They made Name in d Market now, they probe focus on Quality /performance for Over all TV watching. Like if u think 1500 is dim. Go talk to all the ppl bought 2018 2019 OLEDs like 480nit peak, lol. D ppl were like OVER d MOON buying LG CX…”yay 700 something” lol. 😂 Just sharing this, cuz i I have their 65” 1500nit peak 2021 Flagship panel. Very Bright, sweet spot. 🎉bright but MOST vibrant that Eyes wont see Color as too bright --mistake bright color as white.
It’s kinda like when CARs go up to like 600 horse power, u dont need it. U need other parts to help To control the driving so they wont CRASH 💥 like what happened to Paul Walker. So Sweet Spot for price, handling, speed, control, recovery..is about 260-340 Horse power for premium 🚗, everything runs more fluid driving. Hisense U8H made name in d Market, prob realize want to focus on Image delivery this year. 😊
Hey buddy hope you're staying well I wish you the best and hope everything works out for you. Was wondering if the hisense will be good for sports especially nfl football. Thank you cheers
this review gets me going............... Im currently looking at the U7K or the U8K. the comparison on the hisense website isnt working - please could you tell me if the U8K is substantially better in image quality etc and why would i spend that little bit more?
It’s like using iPhone 12pro, thought NO need to use 14PRO. It’s so close. ONCE I use it i cant go back. The EXTRA feature that I didnt know i needed it, i cant reverse it. If u are getting 55” u prob wont feel too much diff but, if 65” or 75” the U8K wil really give much POP, n deeper black. Like doing -pensil drawing in art class. Those 🍎 in white n grey 3D. The whitest part of apple will be WHITER, it self will make d 🍏 look more 3D even end up the SAME grey. So the peak nits do matter. U get more 3D visual. But will be subtal, if u dont have em side by side, u wont be able to tell cuz U7K is amazing itself . If not side by side u really wont be able to tell. I have their Flagship panels…..2X. Yeah u think u pay 💰 $2-300 more for U8 version. UPON using, u will feel Ike u got EXTRA $600-800 upgrade worth out of it depends on size. No fail.
this is why I buy the cheap stuff. Buying high end is tomorrows low end in every tech sector. A $1800 after tax tv brought last year is todays $800 tv for the same if not better image quality. Ty hisense.
Hey Q, could you do a comprehensive set up for a Hisense u7k soon. Just days away from black Friday/ cyber Monday and I'll be gunning for either the u8k or u7k
One thing I've noticed in all the reviews I've seen on the U8K is that the white levels appear over-exposed. This explains why in dark scenes you do see more detail, since lighter areas are getting a "bump," so even the slightest lighter shadow provides more than just darkness. I'm guessing they applied this same approach to all white areas in the scene across the board, regardless of their levels. This explains why the lightest areas look over-exposed and give that "bloom" effect. They should set a threshold above which this approach isn't applied and would flatten out the picture so that the lightest areas aren't so blown out. As it stands, it defeats the point of HDR - to bring up the lowest levels and bring down the highest levels of an image such that you can see every detail. It doesn't have to be by much and is likely why the skin tones look a little washed out compared to the Samsung in some places. I heard what you said at around 16:56 noting that you think they're already applying some "crushing" to the higher levels, but I noticed in a lot of the scenes how the whitest areas are blown out compared to the Samsung.
Awesome review. Definitely going to upgrade to the U8K for my first 4k TV. Thanks Quantum! Also what 4k player do you recommend that supports Dolby Atmos?
Panasonic DB-UB-820k.. or the top of the hill panasonic DP-UB-9000. Both will give ya all HDR formats like this tv will support and Atmos.. the 9000 is more because of the audio edge. Cheaper but good but only will do Dolby Vision and HDR10 and Atmos would be the Sony UBP-X800M2.
I was going to get the u8k 77 inch for the 1299 sale price but they went out of stock for a while so I grabbed the 77 c3 for 1999. Installing it today to see how good it is!
Go U8K! For one thing LG's WebOS is a cluttered mess. I left out LG in my own search solely because of WebOS. But IDK, maybe you wouldn't care. I also don't like LG's remote which works like the Nintendo Nunchuck where a cursor floats all over the screen as you move the remote around. It may SEEM intuitive, but it's not. I've used that before and never got used to that. It gets particularly clunky when you want to rewind or fast-forward a scene. It's just a hassle. Or maybe they've fixed it since my experience with a 2019 LG flagship TV, but the general experience leaves a lot to be desired and apparently their latest OS makeover has received negative backlash.
u8k keeps image quality regardless day or night, blinds open or not. What I hate about oleds is having to make the room as dark as possible to make it stand out and terrible display brightness to the point it looks dim af in the day time.
My brother did you see the video? The Hisense U8K is almost identical to a OLED is competing against Samsung’s best technology what more help you need my brother?
Yeah absolutely 💯 HISENSE U8K🎉🎉🎉🎉 LG C2 is like BMW X5, good 👍🏻, Hisnese U8K is like TESLA SUV…Very stunning. Not as recognized but DEF way more HIGH end Feel in person n NEW also OVER all better Experience. But just discounting to gain Market recognition. C2 is dim. 😅
First 1 hear!. the Hisense look soo good the clarity is next level I can say it almost identical as the S95B.. so it's rech appoint now that it's personal preference because there's no blooming on Hisense U8k. Good job Hisense..
Price to performance the U8K is the buy in my honest opinion..The two are so damn closed after comparing them both calibrated. I'm saving the money and getting the U8K...
Thanks for your videos. If the Eurpoean version can do the same and also on settings (VA panel but different OS), can be setting the same way, I will definetelly buy the U8K and join to your channel :)
Dude it is ONLY name brand in REST of world except USA for longest time. Ppl here live in bubbles. Just like till 1989-1990 ,,,,Japanese Luxury Brand Infiniti/ Luxus did NOT enter USA, ppl Had NO idea HOW much more elegant/smooth powerful Cars they are comparing BMW/Mecedes/Audi…all bumpy n very bad.. they are like”what’s that, this is new”. In fact Hisense dominate Luxury TV corner in Asia. Ppl here just live in US bubble. 😅 often stuck up. 😊 same with BMW, Their BMW entry level X3 x5 are WAY inferior in USA than d same model in EU. Lol. 😊
I just subscribed to your channel 👍 Can you point me to the video showing the settings used in this comparison please? I only found a video showing the settings used with a PS5 and another one used in Theater Day conditions. Thank you
Men only if you’re a movie fan who want the perfect picture you need to pay the extra money. Honestly I just want a good picture I don’t mind if there’s a bit less of colour or bit worst motion … you see side by side is almost the 90% of the QD OLED quality who minds that 10% for the price?
HEY BUDDY. I accidently bought a 75" Q80b this week which I'm returning today. Horrible TV. I am now choosing between a 65" S95B and a 75" U8K. Both cost $1600. I watch movies and tv shows. No gaming. What do you think?
I watched this video because I've narrowed down my choices for a 65 inch television and they include these two. I thought it was going to be the answer to my prayers but I ended more confused than ever. You speak so highly of the S95B but after watching this video, I went back and watched previous videos you've done on the S95B and in one of them, you put it on your "do not buy " list.
It’s because d TIMMING! When he put S95B on -- do not buy list. That’s when S95B released a -- firmwareUPdate😮n completely RUINED d TV for almost 2 months !!!!!!!!!! All d ppl just pulled $3000 for 65” went rage . --- during Xmas , Hisense 😮U8H n LG C1 C2 were Way way cheaper during Xmas 🎉. Of course he would advice ppl avoid buying a $3000 messed up Samsung till they Fix Firmware 😮update . Samsung later released something AFTER Xmas like well later in Jan . Super slow . 😮 just to revert Back to before Firmware update . 😮 S95B went back to normal stunning again .😅
I have both (just got my Samsung a few days ago). I agree just about 100% with what was said here. Honestly sometimes my u8k just looks better than my Samsung in some movies/shows. But the u8k has much worse viewing angles and overall looks quite a bit worse in gaming partly due to response times and dark biasing / blooming suppression which takes away the pop of tiny highlights.
are these calibrated? Samsung looks too Red , and Hisense looks too Green/Blue (see gray background at 17:20) , also about color Saturation, can't you just set the color Saturation on the U8K to +2 ? ;-)
@@birdtj82I watched a fomo video and hisense had better colors but with gaming on the dirt 5 game they displayed headlights and lights looked greenish on hisense and white on tcl. Also tcl had better contrast. But want to see another comparison and not just go off one reviewer. I'm so torn. The tv will mainly be for console gaming
75” I hv Hisense 65” at home . I just went to store to 🤟🏼👌🏼 exam if it’s Going to be Necessary to get extra 10” . Is it really gonna help ? I went to store checked n saw 75 “ U8K with family (they even had chair 🪑 couch 🛋️ for sit in front of display) Damn it has IMAX experience vs normal theatre exp. U need to make sure d back of yr couch 🛋️ to d surface of TV at least 10.5-11 feet ! Too close to tv yr eyes will get crazy.
07:52 - The shading of the trees in the Samsung (up top) definitely had a more... "realistic" looking shades of green for the trees, whereas the hisense was a lot more vibrant, almost synthetic color looking. I've been debating on getting this TV for so long now because of the 144hz. No oled TV today hits that 144hz. But I also watch a lot of movies/TV. I'd say definitely a 50/50 split. I'm torn between getting an OLED TV, The Hisense ULED, and a Samsung Neo QLED. Still can't decide lol
He already made several comparison videos on the U8K and QM8. Quantum said the U8K edged the QM8 out by picture quality, sharper images, and black control and the QM8 had the better motion handling..It's up to your preference really but both need to be calibrated to get the picture quality amazing...No doubt I'm getting the U8K 55 inch this Friday from Best Buy for $799.99. Also the QM8 only comes in at a 65 inch and above so the cheapest price for a QM8 at this time is $1,199.99. Unless the go on sale...which i doubt as both tvs are new to the market.
Great review I purchased the 55 inch hisense 55 u8g 55 inch quantem dot in may 2023.. The picture quality is mindblowing compared to my sons lg cx oled or some I've seen.. They both have amazing pictures.. Prefer mine though 😊..
I own a 65" LG c1 and I wanna know if it's worth it to upgrade to either a LG mla or Samsung qd oled or should I just wait until next year and see what both brands come out with next year?
Great comparison video! I absolutely agree about out of the box reviews. I actually find it rediculous and a waste of time. If people are intestested in out of the box side by sides, then go to the store. It's lazy. These tvs have lots of settings for a reason. You push the settings to get the best out of these tvs and I thank you for this! I watch other videos to pass time, but I wait for your reviews to actually see what they can do 👍
Pppl do --ONLY OUT OF BOX…review are in Chohoots. They are Paid stores like Bestbuy/UHD association backed up by BIG 3 to promote OLEDs. 😮😅 Cuz instead of TRash talking Hisense. They are Very sneaky. They Leave Hisense in UN-TWEAKED state n like beside a TWEAKED OLED . Like “SEE SEE” this is so malicious but almost Narccisistc. Cuz they are making fool of ppl. 😢 yet making money .
Once AGAIN 😮😮😮suggest ppl watch on a higher end TV or Nicer 4K higher end monitor. Do NOT watch this review in IPad. I watched this review on my 65” U8G d video almost looks OLED snappy d tv looked $3000. Watched on my 2 weeks old -Ipad Pro2-M2 chip cost me $1000. The TVs in TH-cam video looks like mushy crap 💩$300. ---I am shocked iPad Pro 2 screen…..so grey, n gooey. My 2 yr old U8G made my $1000 IPad look $300 again. 😮 No one complaining IPad under delivery 🚚 for what they charge us !!!! 😮
My 65 U8H just got fried by lightning and Hisense standard warranty doesn't cover 'acts of god'. The tv wasnt a year old :/ Thankfully my property insurance (minus $250 deductible) covers the lose. Im looking at the new TCL now.
The Hisense 75 inch U8K uses a ADS PRO Panel that is better than the regular IPS Panel in the 65 inch Hisense U8K ! Can you review the 75 inch Hisense U8K Please ?...😇🤫
I have seen it in store. It doesn’t look IPS. They look great 😊 :) :) :) i have 2 Hisense VA panels. I made quick video too in store i wonder if i should upload lol. Lol i forgot about it myself lol. 😅

Their price has been consistently Rock bottom price in USA 🇺🇸 last 4 yrs. So maybe once ppl are finally accepting d brand n willing to pay extra to support the tech. I am sure they will.
In China they ahve like 12 bit 16bit Tv, $$$$$$$
Their U8K in china, is like $450 more for 65”. It’s been like that last 4 yrs.
I am in Canada, i hav to pay 30% more than US consumers for my 2 Hisense TV (cost me $2400) so far just for 1 55” 1 65”. Thats their Global Price.
USA Hisense Flagship are Strip bare bone to give ppl d BEST image/quality for unthinkable price ,,,ppl just want cake eat it too n greedy.
Lol. But the thing is in Busienss school….”when a reputable brand, if u make the product TOO good. U have to MATCH global high end price . If u mark down too low, u are NOT going to impress the $3000 tv ppl, they have the MONEY already they do NOT need d discount. U end up attracting the LOW budget GAmming community that GREEDY, want cake eat it too. when make TV/CAR too perfect, NOT only U LOSE d portentially HIGH end customers that sees d Gadget as LOW end, that they will never bother in the future(when too many Gammers buy it Cheap), when low budget gammers stilling living home or all they do is Gamming . They are USED to have EVERYTHING but pay NOTHING . It will just ANGER them if NOT keep delivering BEST spects for NO Frill price . It will Actual cause major cash flow issue n Brand image ruin. “
The stuff is available. Ppl just need to be happy with what they pay, willing to spend extra $300-$400 for each size to get d Most premium stuff. Then it Makes sense for them to launch their More premium stuff in USA/Canada :)
This what I was waiting for!!
Fck yeah, finally an lcd that can hold it against oled
Hey Quantum I did some research on the u8k there’s supposed to have a 85 inch coming out what have you heard about that?
Wow! Never thought i'd be considering a hisense but now i'm between an open box s95b, qm8, and a u8k. Still may wait until black friday sales to make a final call on a 65"
Dude Black Friday sale 65” will be gone in like 30 min. Like all 3 will be gone. Buy like d days before. S95B has horrible Sound. So be prepared to throw in extra $800 for speakers. Do NOT get thoes small Bose300 small slim speakers. U need a like SONOS , SONY, Bose those long big tuby $800 + ones to Beat Hisense inplanted Speakers. I tried em in Bestbuy. :) 😅 comparing cuz I was gonna get Sound BAR. It was SHOCKING checking Bose entry level sound bar n sounded Worse. Lol.
@@birdtj82 Im not into soundbars but I bought 2 tower Pioneer SP-FS52 speakers and connected them to my Yamaha receiver and wow. The sound is amazing in my mid size living room.
@@birdtj82good call about the black friday sales. Plus, i wanted to have the new tv before football season starts. Just made my call on a hisense u8h instead of the u8k since they are so similar, $300 savings, and it's going in a crazy bright room. I have seen more reviews on the u8h being one of, if not the best, tvs for anti glare. The oled c1 is like a mirror in this room so it's going in my bedroom. Luckily the hisense will be paired with a higher end 7.2.2 system so the sound quality isn't a factor. Excited to see how this u8h compares to the c1 in this room.
Is there anyway to get rid of that green “matrix” hue from the Hisense via settings? It’s pretty much there throughout the comparisons, most obvious is the cat under the couch
U can individually change tint/hue/ blend of (red/green) its very easily switched in setting.
How do they compare regarding OTA sports (motion)?
I just bought a U8H 75" Australian version and the dimming zones are atrocious. I can count them turning on and off as word roll up the screen. There's 10 from top to bottom and 20 from left to right. Blooming is out of control. I don't know if it's a dud, but when there's a bright object on a dark background moving across the screen, I can literally see 4 inch squared blocks of light turning on and off. How many dimming zones does the U8K have?
1000+ on 75 inch
Is your U8K set to BT.2020 during this? Isn't that an SD standard?
Did the hisense still over blue after calibration?
Quantum you're the best honest review I've found on youtube. I trust your word, would you got with tue U8K over a B3 OLED?
Are both panels using your settings?
Whites and Lights in Hisense seem to have a significant blue hue compared to S95b more natural or orangeish yellow, maybe incondesent is a better way to put the 95b. Really shows up in the Star Wars and Spiderman cuts. Thoughts?
In real life u prob wont see much of cool tone at all. Like how ivory beside a pale white , suddenly looks MORE of YELLOW? But beside colors, its so “Pale”.
So what we see today, its either d Samsung made U8K looked more blue than it is. Or the U8K made Samsung looked more warm. They r both amazing minor toned . SONY this year is like PURPLE tuned. Omg its bad. Lol TCL, QM8 😮their Red looks all Orange.
We prob see nothing when actually watch TV. Lol. :) 😊 that “cool” tone is quite mild. Very mild.
What size should we get this tv on mr. quantum?
But what about the brightness being less? Also Is U8H better then U8K?
Have u heard of the term LESS is more??? This is exact what it meant. For example last 3 yrs SONY flagship panel…. X900h, A90J, X95K,,,,,LG C9 CX C1 all of em were like 550, 650 680, 700, 780nit PEAK. But for ppl Gammers in TECH. That they associate BETTER as --HGHER numbers, sort of 1 track mind.
So in order to compete with other brands, they have to UP d brightness so much that prob -HAVE no choice. But MOST TV SHOWS/steaming 1000nit. Anything around 1000-1200 is good enough for like MOST comfortable WATCHING of yr eyes, which make u SEE MORE Bright Vibrant Colors. They up the 2000nit last yr, cuz Hisense is Relatively UN-recognized Brand for premium TV. They made Name in d Market now, they probe focus on Quality /performance for Over all TV watching.
Like if u think 1500 is dim. Go talk to all the ppl bought 2018 2019 OLEDs like 480nit peak, lol. D ppl were like OVER d MOON buying LG CX…”yay 700 something” lol. 😂
Just sharing this, cuz i I have their 65” 1500nit peak 2021 Flagship panel. Very Bright, sweet spot. 🎉bright but MOST vibrant that Eyes wont see Color as too bright --mistake bright color as white.
It’s kinda like when CARs go up to like 600 horse power, u dont need it. U need other parts to help To control the driving so they wont CRASH 💥 like what happened to Paul Walker. So Sweet Spot for price, handling, speed, control, recovery..is about 260-340 Horse power for premium 🚗, everything runs more fluid driving. Hisense U8H made name in d Market, prob realize want to focus on Image delivery this year. 😊
Also no burn in to worry about, Hisence WIN
Hey buddy hope you're staying well I wish you the best and hope everything works out for you. Was wondering if the hisense will be good for sports especially nfl football. Thank you cheers
What size of the U8K are you showing here?
this review gets me going............... Im currently looking at the U7K or the U8K. the comparison on the hisense website isnt working - please could you tell me if the U8K is substantially better in image quality etc and why would i spend that little bit more?
It’s like using iPhone 12pro, thought NO need to use 14PRO. It’s so close. ONCE I use it i cant go back. The EXTRA feature that I didnt know i needed it, i cant reverse it.
If u are getting 55” u prob wont feel too much diff but, if 65” or 75” the U8K wil really give much POP, n deeper black.
Like doing -pensil drawing in art class. Those 🍎 in white n grey 3D. The whitest part of apple will be WHITER, it self will make d 🍏 look more 3D even end up the SAME grey. So the peak nits do matter. U get more 3D visual.
But will be subtal, if u dont have em side by side, u wont be able to tell cuz U7K is amazing itself . If not side by side u really wont be able to tell.
I have their Flagship panels…..2X. Yeah u think u pay 💰 $2-300 more for U8 version. UPON using, u will feel Ike u got EXTRA $600-800 upgrade worth out of it depends on size. No fail.
Would you do the u8k over the c1?
Great comparison and crazy results! Hisense is very impressive!
this is why I buy the cheap stuff. Buying high end is tomorrows low end in every tech sector. A $1800 after tax tv brought last year is todays $800 tv for the same if not better image quality. Ty hisense.
Hey Q, could you do a comprehensive set up for a Hisense u7k soon. Just days away from black Friday/ cyber Monday and I'll be gunning for either the u8k or u7k
Hey brother sadly funding has been limited because my ex wife cleaned out the bank. I can't do it just yet
Do you think the 65” being a ips panel will be as bad as your qn90c review? Thanks
I meant 75”
One thing I've noticed in all the reviews I've seen on the U8K is that the white levels appear over-exposed. This explains why in dark scenes you do see more detail, since lighter areas are getting a "bump," so even the slightest lighter shadow provides more than just darkness. I'm guessing they applied this same approach to all white areas in the scene across the board, regardless of their levels. This explains why the lightest areas look over-exposed and give that "bloom" effect. They should set a threshold above which this approach isn't applied and would flatten out the picture so that the lightest areas aren't so blown out. As it stands, it defeats the point of HDR - to bring up the lowest levels and bring down the highest levels of an image such that you can see every detail. It doesn't have to be by much and is likely why the skin tones look a little washed out compared to the Samsung in some places. I heard what you said at around 16:56 noting that you think they're already applying some "crushing" to the higher levels, but I noticed in a lot of the scenes how the whitest areas are blown out compared to the Samsung.
How is hisense with sports? Do you have a video?
Man. I got the u8k and the motion is the only thing I don't like, wondering if the Q7 would be better for smother motion.
Awesome review. Definitely going to upgrade to the U8K for my first 4k TV. Thanks Quantum! Also what 4k player do you recommend that supports Dolby Atmos?
Panasonic DB-UB-820k.. or the top of the hill panasonic DP-UB-9000. Both will give ya all HDR formats like this tv will support and Atmos.. the 9000 is more because of the audio edge.
Cheaper but good but only will do Dolby Vision and HDR10 and Atmos would be the Sony UBP-X800M2.
just buy the ps5, you get a great gaming console and one of the best blue ray players on the market all in one
I am torn between the u8k 65in or 75in... cant decide.
I was going to get the u8k 77 inch for the 1299 sale price but they went out of stock for a while so I grabbed the 77 c3 for 1999. Installing it today to see how good it is!
Man I’m at Best Buy right now trying to decide between 55” new U8k for $799 or open box 55” LG C2 for $1026… help!!! Lol
Go U8K! For one thing LG's WebOS is a cluttered mess. I left out LG in my own search solely because of WebOS. But IDK, maybe you wouldn't care. I also don't like LG's remote which works like the Nintendo Nunchuck where a cursor floats all over the screen as you move the remote around. It may SEEM intuitive, but it's not. I've used that before and never got used to that. It gets particularly clunky when you want to rewind or fast-forward a scene. It's just a hassle. Or maybe they've fixed it since my experience with a 2019 LG flagship TV, but the general experience leaves a lot to be desired and apparently their latest OS makeover has received negative backlash.
u8k keeps image quality regardless day or night, blinds open or not. What I hate about oleds is having to make the room as dark as possible to make it stand out and terrible display brightness to the point it looks dim af in the day time.
My brother did you see the video? The Hisense U8K is almost identical to a OLED is competing against Samsung’s best technology what more help you need my brother?
Yeah absolutely 💯 HISENSE U8K🎉🎉🎉🎉 LG C2 is like BMW X5, good 👍🏻, Hisnese U8K is like TESLA SUV…Very stunning. Not as recognized but DEF way more HIGH end Feel in person n NEW also OVER all better Experience. But just discounting to gain Market recognition. C2 is dim. 😅
Just wanted to let all you guys know thanks for the inputs and yes i went with the hisense u8k!!!!!
First 1 hear!. the Hisense look soo good the clarity is next level I can say it almost identical as the S95B.. so it's rech appoint now that it's personal preference because there's no blooming on Hisense U8k. Good job Hisense..
I just wish Hisense had picture-n-picture like my old Samsung.
How about U8K vs LG C3?
Price to performance the U8K is the buy in my honest opinion..The two are so damn closed after comparing them both calibrated. I'm saving the money and getting the U8K...
Thanks for your videos. If the Eurpoean version can do the same and also on settings (VA panel but different OS), can be setting the same way, I will definetelly buy the U8K and join to your channel :)
Id be curious to know how the Hisense compares to you KS8000 if you still have it
No longer have it
Yeah that Hisense is seriously impressive
Do you have setting for the new neo qled
Is this the 65 or the 75"?
Am I corny for not wanting hisense because it's not name brand? (Or a brand I recognize)
Dude it is ONLY name brand in REST of world except USA for longest time. Ppl here live in bubbles.
Just like till 1989-1990 ,,,,Japanese Luxury Brand Infiniti/ Luxus did NOT enter USA, ppl Had NO idea HOW much more elegant/smooth powerful Cars they are comparing BMW/Mecedes/Audi…all bumpy n very bad.. they are like”what’s that, this is new”.
In fact Hisense dominate Luxury TV corner in Asia. Ppl here just live in US bubble. 😅 often stuck up. 😊 same with BMW, Their BMW entry level X3 x5 are WAY inferior in USA than d same model in EU. Lol. 😊
WOW GREAT job. Can you please review Hisense UX
I heard UX are sold out. Lol they are like $5000 😅
Totally agree with watching old, familiar movies, it's like they were recorded with a different generation of cameras.
I just subscribed to your channel 👍 Can you point me to the video showing the settings used in this comparison please? I only found a video showing the settings used with a PS5 and another one used in Theater Day conditions. Thank you
I think it's time to put the QM8 and U8K side by side bro. I still think the QM8 has better blooming control and more saturated colors
Men only if you’re a movie fan who want the perfect picture you need to pay the extra money. Honestly I just want a good picture I don’t mind if there’s a bit less of colour or bit worst motion … you see side by side is almost the 90% of the QD OLED quality who minds that 10% for the price?
My Samsung S95B 65 inch died yesterday. I got it last October. I will get a replacement in 2 weeks. It is from Best Buy.
What happened to it? people have been saying on forums to buy it with a long guarantee or extra insurance coverage
75 inch hisense ips or 75 inch x90l va?
Va always
HEY BUDDY. I accidently bought a 75" Q80b this week which I'm returning today. Horrible TV. I am now choosing between a 65" S95B and a 75" U8K. Both cost $1600. I watch movies and tv shows. No gaming. What do you think?
Hi Quantum! I got S95B after seeing so many reviews of yours. I got your subscription as well.
You’re awesome Q!
I watched this video because I've narrowed down my choices for a 65 inch television and they include these two. I thought it was going to be the answer to my prayers but I ended more confused than ever. You speak so highly of the S95B but after watching this video, I went back and watched previous videos you've done on the S95B and in one of them, you put it on your "do not buy " list.
It’s because d TIMMING!
When he put S95B on -- do not buy list. That’s when S95B released a -- firmwareUPdate😮n completely RUINED d TV for almost 2 months !!!!!!!!!! All d ppl just pulled $3000 for 65” went rage .
--- during Xmas , Hisense 😮U8H n LG C1 C2 were Way way cheaper during Xmas 🎉. Of course he would advice ppl avoid buying a $3000 messed up Samsung till they Fix Firmware 😮update . Samsung later released something AFTER Xmas like well later in Jan . Super slow . 😮 just to revert Back to before Firmware update . 😮 S95B went back to normal stunning again .😅
What buy samsunk or hisense same price in my country
I have both (just got my Samsung a few days ago). I agree just about 100% with what was said here. Honestly sometimes my u8k just looks better than my Samsung in some movies/shows. But the u8k has much worse viewing angles and overall looks quite a bit worse in gaming partly due to response times and dark biasing / blooming suppression which takes away the pop of tiny highlights.
Just Bought the s95b for 1400 canadian, becuase of your reviews. S92c was 2000 plus tax but decided a used s95b becuase of your recommendation.
are these calibrated? Samsung looks too Red , and Hisense looks too Green/Blue (see gray background at 17:20) , also about color Saturation, can't you just set the color Saturation on the U8K to +2 ? ;-)
Can you do a hisense U8K vs TCL QM8
For the fact QM8 use--RGB panels same as Sony. That they make funny colors. I can’t do TCL. I would get Samsung or Hisense. Just more Vibrant color. 😊
@@birdtj82I watched a fomo video and hisense had better colors but with gaming on the dirt 5 game they displayed headlights and lights looked greenish on hisense and white on tcl. Also tcl had better contrast. But want to see another comparison and not just go off one reviewer. I'm so torn. The tv will mainly be for console gaming
u8k 75 vs s95b 65 at the same price, which one should I buy?
75”
I hv Hisense 65” at home . I just went to store to 🤟🏼👌🏼 exam if it’s Going to be Necessary to get extra 10” . Is it really gonna help ?
I went to store checked n saw 75 “ U8K with family (they even had chair 🪑 couch 🛋️ for sit in front of display)
Damn it has IMAX experience vs normal theatre exp.
U need to make sure d back of yr couch 🛋️ to d surface of TV at least 10.5-11 feet ! Too close to tv yr eyes will get crazy.
What about sony x90l? How does that compare with these?
X90L has very noticable blooming. This has none
07:52 - The shading of the trees in the Samsung (up top) definitely had a more... "realistic" looking shades of green for the trees, whereas the hisense was a lot more vibrant, almost synthetic color looking. I've been debating on getting this TV for so long now because of the 144hz. No oled TV today hits that 144hz. But I also watch a lot of movies/TV. I'd say definitely a 50/50 split. I'm torn between getting an OLED TV, The Hisense ULED, and a Samsung Neo QLED. Still can't decide lol
Samsung S90 and S95 have 144hz. I personally went QD oled. Its the best gaming experience around today
can you make a comparison with TCL QM8
He already made several comparison videos on the U8K and QM8. Quantum said the U8K edged the QM8 out by picture quality, sharper images, and black control and the QM8 had the better motion handling..It's up to your preference really but both need to be calibrated to get the picture quality amazing...No doubt I'm getting the U8K 55 inch this Friday from Best Buy for $799.99. Also the QM8 only comes in at a 65 inch and above so the cheapest price for a QM8 at this time is $1,199.99. Unless the go on sale...which i doubt as both tvs are new to the market.
Great review I purchased the 55 inch hisense 55 u8g 55 inch quantem dot in may 2023.. The picture quality is mindblowing compared to my sons lg cx oled or some I've seen.. They both have amazing pictures.. Prefer mine though 😊..
I own a 65" LG c1 and I wanna know if it's worth it to upgrade to either a LG mla or Samsung qd oled or should I just wait until next year and see what both brands come out with next year?
Get a S95B g while u can
Great comparison video! I absolutely agree about out of the box reviews. I actually find it rediculous and a waste of time. If people are intestested in out of the box side by sides, then go to the store. It's lazy. These tvs have lots of settings for a reason. You push the settings to get the best out of these tvs and I thank you for this! I watch other videos to pass time, but I wait for your reviews to actually see what they can do 👍
Pppl do --ONLY OUT OF BOX…review are in Chohoots. They are Paid stores like Bestbuy/UHD association backed up by BIG 3 to promote OLEDs. 😮😅
Cuz instead of TRash talking Hisense. They are Very sneaky. They Leave Hisense in UN-TWEAKED state n like beside a TWEAKED OLED . Like “SEE SEE” this is so malicious but almost Narccisistc. Cuz they are making fool of ppl. 😢 yet making money .
my go to guy for such subjects ......and a little more....im gonna pull the trigger quantum....either the 8k or the s95b/c2 contingent on $$s
Can’t you just decrease the Hisense brightness to bring out more darks, seems overly bright sometimes
All I can say the 75U8K is the Great Christmas gift 🎁 for my parents
Excellent TV 🎉🎉🎉
I'm going to upgrade from my u8k.. But I'm going to wait for the 85 inch 😅
I don't know
Maybe there's something wrong with me
I see Hisense superior to Samsung QD OLED in image quality
Very helpful! Thanks.
the real difference here is motion, OLED motion vs VA is night and day. U8K smearing made me want to die
keep up the good work
I think hisense have more sharp image!!
Once AGAIN 😮😮😮suggest ppl watch on a higher end TV or Nicer 4K higher end monitor. Do NOT watch this review in IPad. I watched this review on my 65” U8G d video almost looks OLED snappy d tv looked $3000. Watched on my 2 weeks old -Ipad Pro2-M2 chip cost me $1000. The TVs in TH-cam video looks like mushy crap 💩$300. ---I am shocked iPad Pro 2 screen…..so grey, n gooey. My 2 yr old U8G made my $1000 IPad look $300 again. 😮
No one complaining IPad under delivery 🚚 for what they charge us !!!! 😮
My 65 U8H just got fried by lightning and Hisense standard warranty doesn't cover 'acts of god'. The tv wasnt a year old :/ Thankfully my property insurance (minus $250 deductible) covers the lose. Im looking at the new TCL now.
Does yr credit card company have extended warranty? U should check. My credit card 💳 offer extended warranty extra 1yr for everything.
The Hisense 75 inch U8K uses a ADS PRO Panel that is better than the regular IPS Panel in the 65 inch Hisense U8K ! Can you review the 75 inch Hisense U8K Please ?...😇🤫
I have seen it in store. It doesn’t look IPS. They look great 😊 :) :) :) i have 2 Hisense VA panels. I made quick video too in store i wonder if i should upload lol. Lol i forgot about it myself lol. 😅
