First video of yours that I've watched. Really enjoyed it. Wish I could afford the Hisense U8N, but I am planning on getting the U7N 65". I really like your delivery and explanations. Great job! Keep up the good work.
Hi Steve , great review !! Clearly the 65 & 75 " are the 'real' 2024 U8N models . That does not diminish the quality of your work !! Thanks , take care , Dreamer
I think the most interesting is the 75u8n, because the ADS panel + 2000 backlight zones. I.e. there are no problems with viewing angles + 2000 backlight zones should be enough to offset the low contrast of the ADS panel There are quite a lot of 75" flagships on the VA and the U8n stands out for this
Would you say the upscaling is better on the U7N? Rtings gave the U8N a lower rating in the upscaling department so I'm really curious to know your thoughts!
Hisense just arrived in Brazil. I know this tv is great and despite thr fact the fact that everything is expensive In brazil, the u8n 85" is "cheap" compared to other tvs of the same size. My question is...their tvs break easily or they last for years?
Bought both the U8H 65" & "55 last year before the U8K took over...the 65" crapped out ( backlights dimmed in middle of screen ) in a few months and the 55" is still kicking...Dont let em make u think the bigger tv is the best 😃
Hisense is getting better each year. B the installer has the U7N matched up with the Sony Bravia7 and watching this video with my U7K it looks great, so I could just imagine how good the U8N looks in person. Nice review as always.
@@TechSteve life span of these TVs? I have the means to get the Samsung Neo qled QN90 for $2600 but this Hisense is $1000 cheaper and maybe even better! I worry about the quality down the road. Thoughts?
Great TV and as always great review I’m trading my 2016 Hisense for a Sony but that old thing has give me many hours of joy and good picture and not a single problem, they keep firmaware updates till this day! In fact I’m gonna keep it for the bedroom I love it
They are hating on the 55 every year, like they dont want you to buy it. The price difference isnt much but the performance is so much better on the 65. Really wish TV makers would make the 42-55 on par with the bigger ones. Not everyone wants a gigantic screen in their room
I have some idea. HUMAN are BIASED. They Assert standards, or fomulars in our brain. So what we do is Decide since same model it should be same Engine. But if ALL the BMW X5 Sedan - mini SUV the SAME engine. Same price, who the hell buys Sedan? If they wanna buy SUV, they have to pay More. But in Marketing , Tier, pricing. Giving ppl Sedan/SUV same price will Actually Degrade the SUV. Cuz thats the standard price then the Sedan will be seen as the--BAD Value.--this is talked in Marcketing lecture about BMW, n SONY TV. Lol. 😊 So if they get 55” n Giving ALL the bells n whistles, but Customers DO NOT WANT to pay MORE than Sedan for the SUV price. (They will have CAP how much they are willing to pay for 55”) u can NOT charge them for HOW much it COST to make the TV. (When gets higher end, u have to pay more). It will LOWER the BRAND IMAGE/VALUE selling at SUCH LOW price ( hello FLAGSHIP at $799 LOL) 😂 The exact same reason TCL does NOT make Qm8 in- 55”, they only make 65” or larger. NOR SONY X95L less than 85”. Ppl use 55” will sit MUCH CLOSER. That 55” is BRIGHT Enough, Upgraded everything from U8K. Ppl just WANT to have “CHEAP “ but Best for Little money. 💰 They do NOT sell U8N in China in 55” this year. Hisense U8K U8N are their Last shot for ANYONE who wants VERY high end TV for utter low price. No other brands are producing it except like maybe those LG G3 G4 (for single young Gammers who has Video phile or Gamming addiction)
@@FatMax420 I have the 55u8k and I love it, they just dont scale the dimming zones the same as they do the bigger models and I wish we could get a 47 or 42 also
Hi Stev e Love your channel and all the detail that you put into your reviews for us viewers.I SUBSCRIBED!!. I am undecided. should I get the u7n or the u8n? I watch upscale content 720p to 1080p. So what tv is better at upscaling? I have a video box which i will connect to stream and play movie files. which is better calibrated out of the box? I am thinking about 55 or 65 inch both models. What is the difference between 55 and 65 inch tv? I do however like a darker more contrastier picture. I have about 2000 taxes in to spend. So i am choosing the hisense because it will pretty much play anything sound wise and video wise. Thanks again for your help
After I got my first 55” first U8 a few yrs ago , 12 months later no issue no flicking , but fast vibrant n all class . My only regret was “ahhh why didn’t I buy 65” now I have to pay more n get 65” (which I did, cost me another $1450 I. Canada n I have been happy )” Yeah like save up for a 65”
Happy to have found your channel, you do great reviews! A couple questions: I’m considering a 75”-85”. I’ve seen you’ve reviewed the U6N, U7N and this. Do you have any recommendation based on your reviews of which model might be good for which type of users? The prices are a wide range, and the U7N seems like it could be the good sweet spot of performance for the money. The U8N seems great, and the U6N seems like it could be pretty good. We generally stream TV shows, movies, and use the antenna for sports and local channels. Not a ton of gaming. Currently have a 55” 2018 Vizio P Series. Also wondering if you will review the QD7 eventually? I’m curious about that if I were to consider just getting an 85” given the significant $ savings. I wouldn’t want to take a ton of loss in picture quality and performance of the TV.
It’s hard to say as individual reviews, unless I compare them side by side it’s hard to know how good something is because we just don’t remember colors that way.
Hi I love your reviews! I'm planning to buy a smartv I need your help to decide which one will be , Hisense 75 U8N or LG 65C3 ? The tv is for my bedroom.
Thanks for the info. I picked up the 65 inch last week. Still playing around with the picture. So far Filmmaker Mode is the best. Question: You mentioned in this video that you can use both the tv speakers and your external speakers at the same time. I am trying with a Sony Z9f, but can't figure it out. Any tips would be appreciated. Great tv for the money. 🤔
I don’t have a Soundbar infront of me at the moment. Here’s the manual www.hisense-usa.com/support/hisense-55-class-u8-series-mini-led-uled-4k-google-tv-55u8n
Hey, Steve great video. Can you break down the differences between the 100 inch hisense U76 And 100 inch hisense U8 Is the U8 worth the extra money. Thanks
How has Hisense has a brand performed over the years? I want a Google TV ans their brand is coming up on certain sites. What is their after sales support like?
Hisense Bought Sharp TV 10 years ago, then the TCL. So i looked it up. The brand has 60 years hystory. Actually they had high end stuff in Asia etc for decade just never started to launch their high end tvs till recenlty. Since North America is like far awary big Island :) 🏝️ , d same way Lenovol PC was like so popular in the 80s , 90s…no one knew about it till they bought the IBM Think Pad. They are quite classy premium. Very under rated.
Great review as always man!! I'm stuck on the fence trying to decide to pull the trigger on the 75U8N or the new 2024 TCL QM851G. I will mostly be viewing Formula 1 races, History channel, and locals from a 4K streaming box, darker living room. No gaming as of yet. Best Buy and Amazon both have U8N/TCL within a couple of 100 bucks. Do I flip a coin do you have any suggestions since the specifications are so close together between models. 😊. Thanks for the great videos!
Samsung Hisense has Very identical technology---white light 💡 coming from back mix with red/green/blue to blend into most cozy red/green/ yellow, white, brown, magenta, fushia, …….😊 since it already has white light, so if they need to display white, it just pass thru.
SONY/TCL has---🔵 light as BASE light coming from back to meet RED/GREEN at front to CREAT…..WHITE. Yes Creat white, yellow, brown, GREEN, brown etc…..it will look pestle. Trust me if u had those $5000-6000 high end LED Samsung . U will NOT like SONY or TCL shade even the tv mgiht be like 1-2% hair above the U8k or U8N or just match. It will be VERY hard to switch off from those high end 3D samsung TVs. 😊 or Sharp tv. :) 📺
Great demo of the TV upscaling. Never seen that from other reviewers. Also great overview of the TV's menus and different image profiles. Very well done. Thanks a lot! Because it's the model I'm looking for, I would have liked a video comparison with the ADS Pro 75'' model. (We always want more... Lol.)
I don’t have a huge warehouse of TVs i review what I can and move on. You probably never see someone review 2 of the same model because they are purchased, loaned out or gifted. It’s a nightmare to store as well.
@@TechSteve Thanks a lot for your answer. You're right! And reviewing a VA panel of the series is right since there are 4 VA panels out of 5 in the U8N series. All the best to you and your excellent work! 👍👍
Hey Tech Steve!!🤜🏽🤛🏾 Please talk about the connectivity of the cell phone, and if they TV remote can connect to the cable box, if so, walk it thru step by step!!........Thanks!!👍🏾🎓
Thanks for the suggestion, unfortunately I don’t have cable boxes. When you see chromecast and airplay that’s for mobile devices to connect to them via wifi.
The 55 inch UN8 has 1 dimming zone per 34mm^2, while the 65 inch version has 1 dimming zone per 37mm^2. So basically the 55 inch version has a slightly higher density of dimming zones despite only having 672 of them vs the 1600 of the 65 inch model. What these means is that black levels, highlights and low bloom performance should basically be the same between the two TVs, in fact the 55 inch version should have a very slight edge. Also for the size, the 55-inch H8N has a great peak brightness value. I don't think people realize that pixels are typically smaller with a smaller pitch when compared to bigger size TVs. This means it's not easy to drive the smaller models harder in other to match the brightness of their bigger siblings without running into heat issues that could damage the pixels. Anyone calling the 55" inch H8N a downgrade or not "the real 2024 model" just doesn't know what they're saying.
C855 is better than u8n? I love oled but here in Brazil tvs are very expensive and i cant afford an 77" oled so im going for an mini led, anad keep the 55" lg oled i have. So im doubt between c855 and u8n that they are about to release here. I can find, easily, u8n reviews but its hard to find c855 reviews. I watched one c855 reviews, I loved the tv, but it kept me in doubt which one is better in picture. Thats all I care. Picture quality.
U8N has---7 TIMES X Contrast ratio of X90L. Its a INSANE down grade from U8N to X90L. Its like BMW X5 to X3. C3 is quiet DIM, iphone 8 , XS level dim. Day time watching is hard. Some ppl only watch tv at night. Some ppl work at Home day time , then Bright tv is MUST. Depends user case.
Great video 👍 why here in Europe it is vidaa tv. I wish to buy one but not vidaa. I will go to tcl because google tv. Does usa google tv works here in Europe?
Great informative video as always, thanks Steve. Personally I am torn between the 75” U8N, QM8 and QM7 still gathering information and waiting for more reviews to come in. My previous TV is the Sony 65” A80J.
@@TechSteve looking forward to watch all them. Best wishes and genuinely hope you and your channel continue to grow and more people recognize the value you offer.
Wondering the same, between Rtings and this review among others, it seems the U8N is the winner especially in contrast and Blacks. TCL released an updated QM8, apparently widely different from the 2023 QM8. Unfortunately it's far more expensive.
@@justinbeamon6624 nice to see someone having the same goals as me. I will share what I know and where I stand at this moment in time hoping that it helps. 1. From the research I did TCL tend to be more reliable than Hisense either way an extended warranty is highly recommended 2. TCL are the supplier for other companies when it comes to VA panels 3. One of the things that makes U8N appealing is on 75” it uses the ADS pro (IPS) that has better viewing angles than VA this would lead to less contrast. If the QM8 is marginally more expensive (200-300 CAD) and has adequate viewing angles I would probably go with that. The QM7 from what I know so far has poor reflection handling and I have big bright window.
I got the U8K, had a TCL as pc monitor total garbage output never got it to display 4k only 1080p Native.. Long story short had tcl support replace mobo still same issue, bought expensive hdmi cables since they wanted to blame the issue on me, recorded videos sent to support with proof it was there tv, they sent a software engineer to help, guy called me once regarding the issue, said he was gonna do more research on how to fix the issue would get back to me in 2 weeks, its been over 2 years. Said F TCL never again. Gave the tcl to my daughter for her room. Got the 65inch U8k boom 4k @ 144hz VRR out of the box use it every day. Sadly my 2 year old daughter broke my 5 yr olds TCL yesterday. Threw it in the garbage where it belongs. Got the 65 inch U8N in my cart right now. Looks like my new gaming pc monitor. Giving the 65 U8K to my daughter. Hisense all the way 👌
@@S4_QUATTROPOWER WHAT ths is INSANE u n your daughter use U8N n U8K. U know U8N has 290000:1 contrast. X95L has 200000:1 x90L has 42000:1 . N U8N u8K both has Color volume Match Samsung S95C n S95B. LOL your daughter pro HAS NO idea that “oh just hang me down cheap”, she prob has no idea that her tv looks better than 99.9% general population. Because most ppl buy LG SONY do NOT buy flagship. N they will NOT ussually check Hisense but buy the mid range SONY LG.
@@Yoga_Tv_buying Well I guess her father has a good taste in TVs don't I! Lol, and she's just a lucky to have me as her dad for giving her a nice tv. I alwayssay the expensive things aren't always the best, Budget can be just as good if not better. Hisense has been a 10/10 for me. Loving my U8N.
@@S4_QUATTROPOWER 100% agree. Pricer not always better .Many years ago i went on date with a dude, he ask “u girls like fashion u have those coach / LV/ GUCCI bag?” Me:” NO, they are UGLY” HE so shocked :”what Every one has those especially Asian”. ME “I would buy it if they are NOT ugly, they just LOOK UGLY n Tacky.” Then when I get those random things from TJ MAX(my fav) ppl alwasy stops me asking me where I got that cuz looks good. So I know they ask cuz it looked GOOD, not cuz they were EXPENSIVE . N I was happier. With your parenting, i am sure your daughter is definitely Smart Cookie. Value is a flex concept. :)
@@S4_QUATTROPOWER I have NOT seen U8N in person , I have seen 75” U8K ADS-PRO . Its NEXT level premium. ADS-PRO has 2X contrast of ADS, n 600hz Screen refresh rate. Its NOT like anything IPS .
@@Yoga_Tv_buying I got 65 inch U8N for gaming PC and let me tell you the screen compared to the U8K is a big difference, U8k has a semi gloss screen and U8N has a Glossy screen which I love because to me it makes everything look for crisp and clean I love it. Both TVs are awesome I also forgot to mention I have a 85 inch U8K in my living room, for some reason I feel it looks better then the 65 U8K I have my daughter, could be the nits more brighter = Better picture quality imo 🖼️
So the Sony Bravia 7 is $2k and the 9 is$3k in 65”. I guess this is suppose to compete with the 7. The U8N is $1,100. I’m a fan of Sony but I would probably try the Hisense as it looks pretty darn good for the price.
I saw Bravia 7 last night at Bestbuy , omg so disapointing. I am NOT biased. I have seen HIsense U8H U8k . I own Hisense U8G. 2022 Hisense U8H Already had 160000:1 contrast Ratio. Bravia 7 in 2024 has 100000:1 . Its good just ppl didnt know there Significant Better tv than SONY LEDs ALL THIS TIME. U8N contrast ratio--290000:1
Ok - LG C4 55" vs Hisense U8NAU 65" - the LG is $500 AUSD (Aussie dollar) more, whch is a fair bit - theyre both on sale with both sales ending in 10 hours. PLEASE SAVE ME FROM MYSELF! Which one???
Any chance you can get the 75U8N and compare it to the 65U8N? These two TV's have different technologies in them, the 75 has a ADS IPS panel, and the rest have a VA panel. The 65 has 1600 dimming zones and the 75 has 2000. I need the best viewing angles possible at this price range.
U8NQ. U8N on rtings---at the Contrast testing , Written on the test under the 289000:1 . It says” its the MOST close to OLED like TV Ever tested “. That spoke Volume.
I'm not a professional reviewer or even youtuber but would really like to see these professional youtubers like Tech Steve, Stop The Fomo, Digital Trends start covering panel differences a bit more in depth. What are you giving up when selecting the IPS ADS Pro panel in the 75 vs. the VA panel in the 65 and 85? I covered it in a basic video on my channel on my 2023 U8K 75" but these reviewers have access to more TVs. 65 and 75 is the current current sweet spot and if I was losing enough picture quality with the IPS ADS panel in the 75", maybe I'd buy the 65" or pony up the extra for the 85" instead.
Most of us don’t get different size panels, TV storage and cost is expensive for us being smaller channels. We don’t have large showrooms with a large electronic stores paying for products to review like a Best Buy
@TechSteve completely understand and thanks for responding. To add to my previous comment and of course this is just my opinion but 55" can be removed from the equation. Manufacturers like Hisense are even signaling this by packing less in their upper end 55 models. I hope to see more 75" reviews because I believe most who follow your channel and the other professional reviewers have become more interested in this size and with different panel sourcing, a positive review on a 55 VA panel can be opposite on a 75. Other than panel sourcing availablity, I'm still at odds with why Hisense uses a IPS- ADS Pro panel on their 75 and as far as I know has done so since the U8H. This is probably why the 2020 release H9G was only offered up to 65" which I miss mine. To be honest if I'm looking up a particular model and the reviewer is showing a 55, I won't watch it. More or less the 55" size has become the bedroom TV these days where picture quality takes a back seat to cost.
Just remember not everyone pays that close attention to TVs, my mother purchased a $265 65” TCL last year and she was happy as hell. When i seen it i noticed all its flaws but i didn’t say anything and let her be happy, that’s the same with the 55” Hisense for most people. We’re just TV heads that’s all.
Help me, Steve. I have a TCL 65 Q7. I connect the eARC of the TV to my Sony STR-D590 Receiver eARC with a brand-new HDMI Cable. However, when I open an App like Prime Video or Netflix on the TV and watch a show or movie. The audio from the program does not come from the speakers connected to the Sony receiver. I have the TV set to CEC On and the Sony Receiver Control with HDMI set to "On". BTW! Great review of this Hisense.
Only issue is my menus and lobbys flicker on ps5. Once ur in game its fine but super annoying in menus or lobbys. And then the bad viewing angles but thats just due to the type of panel
The u8n 75" use a ips panel? I was thinking about getting one but ips panels are worst thsn va? Do you see a difference comparing to others u8n with va screen?
It’s not IPS panel . It’s called ADS-PRO . Ads-PRo is newer i version . Both Samsung Flagahip Qn90C n Hisense U8K 75” U8N 75” use that panel . I have Seen - U8K 75” in person . It’s INSANE . So shocked , as I have seen what IPS looks like , it’s nothing like IPS , but QD-Oled like . ADS pro has -- 2X screen contrast . And 600hz screen refresh rate . It’s newer higher end technology than VA . I am aiming for ADS-Pro myself
@@Yoga_Tv_buying i love tvs and im always inside tv news, but i didnt know this new technology. Im from Brazil and there wasnt hisense here, but they are starting to release tvs here. They didnt release u8n yet(between august/september), but I really want to get one and i saw some people saying it was ips. But good to know its something better. Just waiting them to release. Thank you very much.
@@diego1294 HEY, I love brazil 🇧🇷. Never been to but my Dad’s business client was from Brazil when I was a kid. They used to go to China to visit, n my Dad would yearly Visit Brazil n US/Japan etc . He told me ppl in Brazil very friendly and very welcoming. He happend to arrive during the biggest Brazil street parade . My dad passed away when I was teen but those are all good memmories cuz every time he would come home with tons Brazilian chocolate 🍬
@@diego1294 i made mistake , i just edited. I said “both U8K 75” n U8N 85” use that panel. I meant to type “U8n 75” NOT 85” “ so i am just correcting. Yeah I was skeptical about ADS-PRO. About Contrast ratio. But AFTER seeing it , it BLEW MY MIND. So confusing . So i came home did research found out that its NOT the same Screen. Samsung QN85A QN85B wrere using ADS panel . So since NO ONE EVER used ADS-PRO. it did NOT even exisit. Its new technology. When Samsung n Hisenes both putting the premium ADS-PRO in the Flagship. Ppl concluded its the IPS/ADS. Turn out its Totally diff. That ADS-PRO r seen as half tier higher than VA now by a lot of ppl . I have seen it i am still wanting one. Its like how u meet somoene attractive at a part, ur impression bar of like”best looking” person just stuck with u , doenst matter. I saw it, n asked remote in store n played with the U8k 75” ADS-PRO for like 2 hrs lol . That 180 Degree Vibrancy (glossy yet HIGH color Density at side) Utter matches Samsung S95C visual. U have to see it to believe it.
They did for the larger ones . The 55” usually u sit so close , it’s def gotten better Proceddor , Larger memmory 30% more , better Bloomjng control , those are big fine toning . In Pricing/tier/markting . Ppl willing to pay 💰 for 🥩 beefy Truck 🛻, but u put HUGE engine in small 2Door coup , make coup pricier , not only will mess up Coup sale (raising price) but ppl want small coup don’t need 🥩 beefy engine. They can pay 💰 extra 💰💰💰 for BMW X3 for M3 engine as extra but it doesn’t come automatic . If they put famous M3 engine in x 335i , it will LOWER brand (with that tier n Price tag) -- over all value . The same reason TCL QM8 do NOT sell in 55” , SONY x95” don’t sell 75” or smaller . Samsung Qn90C only has famous ADS-PRO panel in 55” or larger . But 50” is VA (do not put best in the small size , not healthy ) Consumers want play the “I want beat but pay least “GAME . but there ppl want U8K U8N for smalll room , they will have pick their battle . Its so zoom in small screen u won see much difference . Giving too much upgrades , they will want to pay nothing extra . So just decent upgrade lots fine toning for 55” is reasonable
Processor, and Color Volume, Contrast ratio. The 65” U8K has 165000:1 contrast, 65” U8N has 290000:1 contrast. 65” Sony x90L only has 42000:1 Dynamic Contrast(when local dimming off). U8K -- 7500:1 , U8N -10000:1. SONY x93L -2150:1 Color Volume U8K is 1 hair away from Samsung S95B level . The U8N this year has COLOR VOLUME match Samsung S95C. U8N 55” will Match U8K level brightness but FINE Tone everything. Including Motion. Banding etc.
Brighter the tv, especailly day time, the MORE color volume require to make image look 3D. Bright day, Brightness goes up to like 70 80 even 90%, then COLOR VOLUME comes in play to Prevent it look flat. Prob like 8-10% boost, but still a fine toning.
I don’t argue maybe this TV picture quality one of the best and it can compete with big companies like Samsung LG or Sony but I think the aesthetic look of the product is also important. For example this TV from aesthetic point is far behind of that companies that I mentioned look at the back of this TV it’s like 2010 or eight it’s too thick and aesthetically. It doesn’t look good at all. Yes I understand you are not gonna go stand right next to your TV and look at it. You’re gonna sit on your couch and watch your TV but let’s imagine you have a beautiful house, your TV is hanging on the wall and from the side I think it’s not gonna look good at all
@@MSDOGS1976 Ordered it a week ago and still waiting for it to arrive, apparently very little stock in Australia for the 85". Looking at the U7 in store the picture is really good for the price so the U8N should be impressive. There are no U8N's in any store to even look at. So I brought it sight unseen which is not what I would normally do but considering the low price it was hard to pass up.
I got the 85 inch here in USA. Looks great but seems like it has less dimming zones and less nits than the 65 inch. Trying to find out if its true but getting conflicting information from different sources.
Amazing for the money? This thing trades blows with the Bravia 9 and actually has twice as good native contrast ratio which is very important and better color gamut coverage...... The U8N is good for any price, it's a big brand flagship slayer.
@@stevegabriel6982 the 100 U8N is exactly the same TV as the 100 U8K, it’s essentially just rebadged for this year. Hisense were pretty upfront about this back at CES. If you want to wait for this year’s tech at that size, then the 98UX will be your boy. Mid-to-late summer, and an MSRP of $7999, (which, knowing Hisense will mean $6999 a month later.)
As I understand it, almost NO TV has a TRUE 10 bit panel. In almost all cases it's some kind of 8 bit with software and various modes of interpolation. I think this is because, even today. A TRUE 10 bit panel is just NOT cost effective for most manufacturers, it's just too expensive. So I do NOT understand why ANYONE is talking about 10 bit. Who has a True 10 bit panel. When you look at the specs it's almost never there. It's always 8 bit or 8+, whatever that is?
The main issue you have with Hisense is reliability. On paper, this looks like a no brainer until you drop 1100.00 on a 65” that is broken in 12 months. I’ll say this, when i was looking at the U8N at Best Buy, the salesman said he’d “rather have a budget Samsung than a high end Hisense.”
What i hate in this expensive smart tvs, is that you pay a lot of money, they are full of bloatware, you can't uninstal them, and they use s..ty cpu! It takes forever fo change a channel!
T Steve, don't everybody use SOUNDBAR by now. Think it's time to get rid of putting money into TV sound, let them focus on visual tech. And if sound is important buy a nice bar. 😮🎉 U the man!
Everybody excluding me. Lol :) I have had $5000 tv as my first tv n I own 2 Hisnse U8 afterwards. So my tvs always had Good enough sound that I dont need sound bar. Lol. 😂 if they get rid of sound I would be MAD 😝
@@davet3098yeah its coming back now. Ppl like me I am not going to buy sound bars any time soon I had $1000 Budget went to Bestbuy to look for Sound bar to attach to my Hisense. The Bose 300 600 all sounded like mouse 🐭 squeek. Had to go up to BOSE900 or SONOS ARC just to get a little bit better. Why bother. So we turned around left. We had INFINITI CAR V6 engine with 12 BOSE speakers. I have picky ears too. Thats how Hisense tv sound Good enough for ppl dont have huge space.
My only goal is to save someone, anyone from the horrors that come along with owning a Hisense TV. For the full version of my story and many similar stories. Just Google ‘Hisense problems’ or ‘I hate Hisense’. Their TVs are horrible and unreliable. I believe they have the worst reliability rating of all major manufacturers. And the Customer Service is just as bad. So if you have any issues, even if under warranty, good luck getting them to address it. As I write this I’m ‘Hard Reseting’ my TV probably for the 12th or more time. That’s back to factory settings. It will not fix any issues, for more than a minute. So please take my / our advice and just don’t purchase a Hisense TV. No matter how good it looks or how cheap it is.
@@rob1261a first one I bought was a very cheap 55” from walmart. It died about two years later. I bought a warranty plan from Walmart that replaced it so I wasn’t upset. Next time I purchased the Hisense H9G. It had a great picture but the screen would turn purple for almost a minute at a time then turn back to normal. Returned it to Best Buy and never bought another Hi sense. That was 5 years ago. Don’t know if their QC has gotten any better.
How old is your HiSense tv? Which model? I see you've been copy/pasting the same comment on numerous videos, without ever giving these crucial details.
@@simonak9699 here are the details. But it doesn’t matter. It happens to so many of their TVs. Model - 75U6H, 1 year old, 2 motherboards replaced, waiting for full replacement. But they are taking their time. Even after realizing it has to be replaced they really don’t care how long it takes. They act like they are doing you a favor.

Amazing but the QM851G is my choice for 2024
Thanks Marcus
@@TechSteve TCL QM851? 🤔 Are you gon to review it?
First video of yours that I've watched. Really enjoyed it. Wish I could afford the Hisense U8N, but I am planning on getting the U7N 65".
I really like your delivery and explanations. Great job! Keep up the good work.
Hi Steve , great review !! Clearly the 65 & 75 " are the 'real' 2024 U8N models . That does not diminish the quality of your work !! Thanks , take care , Dreamer
True Dat
I think the most interesting is the 75u8n, because the ADS panel + 2000 backlight zones. I.e. there are no problems with viewing angles + 2000 backlight zones should be enough to offset the low contrast of the ADS panel
There are quite a lot of 75" flagships on the VA and the U8n stands out for this
Would you say the upscaling is better on the U7N? Rtings gave the U8N a lower rating in the upscaling department so I'm really curious to know your thoughts!
Hisense just arrived in Brazil. I know this tv is great and despite thr fact the fact that everything is expensive In brazil, the u8n 85" is "cheap" compared to other tvs of the same size. My question is...their tvs break easily or they last for years?
Bought both the U8H 65" & "55 last year before the U8K took over...the 65" crapped out ( backlights dimmed in middle of screen ) in a few months and the 55" is still kicking...Dont let em make u think the bigger tv is the best 😃
Hisense is getting better each year. B the installer has the U7N matched up with the Sony Bravia7 and watching this video with my U7K it looks great, so I could just imagine how good the U8N looks in person. Nice review as always.
Thanks
@@TechSteve life span of these TVs? I have the means to get the Samsung Neo qled QN90 for $2600 but this Hisense is $1000 cheaper and maybe even better! I worry about the quality down the road. Thoughts?
Wondering too. I'm only used to TCL personally.

@M.F.-lq7jb have you had an newer mini led modes or the inexpensive wal mart models
Great TV and as always great review
I’m trading my 2016 Hisense for a Sony but that old thing has give me many hours of joy and good picture and not a single problem, they keep firmaware updates till this day!
In fact I’m gonna keep it for the bedroom I love it
They are hating on the 55 every year, like they dont want you to buy it. The price difference isnt much but the performance is so much better on the 65. Really wish TV makers would make the 42-55 on par with the bigger ones. Not everyone wants a gigantic screen in their room
I have some idea. HUMAN are BIASED. They Assert standards, or fomulars in our brain. So what we do is Decide since same model it should be same Engine.
But if ALL the BMW X5 Sedan - mini SUV the SAME engine. Same price, who the hell buys Sedan? If they wanna buy SUV, they have to pay More. But in Marketing , Tier, pricing. Giving ppl Sedan/SUV same price will Actually Degrade the SUV. Cuz thats the standard price then the Sedan will be seen as the--BAD Value.--this is talked in Marcketing lecture about BMW, n SONY TV. Lol. 😊
So if they get 55” n Giving ALL the bells n whistles, but Customers DO NOT WANT to pay MORE than Sedan for the SUV price. (They will have CAP how much they are willing to pay for 55”) u can NOT charge them for HOW much it COST to make the TV. (When gets higher end, u have to pay more). It will LOWER the BRAND IMAGE/VALUE selling at SUCH LOW price ( hello FLAGSHIP at $799 LOL) 😂
The exact same reason TCL does NOT make Qm8 in- 55”, they only make 65” or larger. NOR SONY X95L less than 85”.
Ppl use 55” will sit MUCH CLOSER. That 55” is BRIGHT Enough, Upgraded everything from U8K. Ppl just WANT to have “CHEAP “ but Best for Little money. 💰 They do NOT sell U8N in China in 55” this year. Hisense U8K U8N are their Last shot for ANYONE who wants VERY high end TV for utter low price. No other brands are producing it except like maybe those LG G3 G4 (for single young Gammers who has Video phile or Gamming addiction)
I just bought the 55" and it looks awesome. Better than the $3000 plasma it replaced.
@@FatMax420 I have the 55u8k and I love it, they just dont scale the dimming zones the same as they do the bigger models and I wish we could get a 47 or 42 also

Stop lying
The upscaling is impressive and perfectly fine from 720p and up.
Using a PC and Vlc, you can control the aspect ratio to enable full screen on WS 480p.
I agree
Can't wait to buy the 65" version and pair it with the ps5 pro when it comes out 🔥
Hi Stev e Love your channel and all the detail that you put into your reviews for us viewers.I SUBSCRIBED!!. I am undecided. should I get the u7n or the u8n? I watch upscale content 720p to 1080p. So what tv is better at upscaling? I have a video box which i will connect to stream and play movie files. which is better calibrated out of the box? I am thinking about 55 or 65 inch both models. What is the difference between 55 and 65 inch tv? I do however like a darker more contrastier picture. I have about 2000 taxes in to spend. So i am choosing the hisense because it will pretty much play anything sound wise and video wise. Thanks again for your help
After I got my first 55” first U8 a few yrs ago , 12 months later no issue no flicking , but fast vibrant n all class . My only regret was “ahhh why didn’t I buy 65” now I have to pay more n get 65” (which I did, cost me another $1450 I. Canada n I have been happy )”
Yeah like save up for a 65”
X90L vs U8N??? 65” is only about $50 difference so im curious what you’d go with hoping Hisense patches the bugs
Just purchased the 85" U8N for$1800 which is a steal. Is there recommended picture settings?
Happy to have found your channel, you do great reviews! A couple questions:
I’m considering a 75”-85”. I’ve seen you’ve reviewed the U6N, U7N and this. Do you have any recommendation based on your reviews of which model might be good for which type of users? The prices are a wide range, and the U7N seems like it could be the good sweet spot of performance for the money. The U8N seems great, and the U6N seems like it could be pretty good. We generally stream TV shows, movies, and use the antenna for sports and local channels. Not a ton of gaming. Currently have a 55” 2018 Vizio P Series.
Also wondering if you will review the QD7 eventually? I’m curious about that if I were to consider just getting an 85” given the significant $ savings. I wouldn’t want to take a ton of loss in picture quality and performance of the TV.
It’s hard to say as individual reviews, unless I compare them side by side it’s hard to know how good something is because we just don’t remember colors that way.
Hi I love your reviews! I'm planning to buy a smartv I need your help to decide which one will be , Hisense 75 U8N or LG 65C3 ? The tv is for my bedroom.
I would go for the bigger TV and buy a extend warranty
Thanks for the info. I picked up the 65 inch last week. Still playing around with the picture. So far Filmmaker Mode is the best. Question: You mentioned in this video that you can use both the tv speakers and your external speakers at the same time. I am trying with a Sony Z9f, but can't figure it out. Any tips would be appreciated. Great tv for the money. 🤔
Sony TVs needs a compatible Sony speaker and TV for that to work with Bravia Sync
It's not a sony tv. It's a sony soundbar and hisense u8n
I don’t have a Soundbar infront of me at the moment. Here’s the manual www.hisense-usa.com/support/hisense-55-class-u8-series-mini-led-uled-4k-google-tv-55u8n
De verdad vale la pena en calidad de materiales etc esta tv? Gracias
Hey, Steve great video. Can you break down the differences between the 100 inch hisense
U76 And 100 inch hisense U8 Is the U8 worth the extra money. Thanks
How has Hisense has a brand performed over the years? I want a Google TV ans their brand is coming up on certain sites. What is their after sales support like?
Hisense Bought Sharp TV 10 years ago, then the TCL. So i looked it up. The brand has 60 years hystory. Actually they had high end stuff in Asia etc for decade just never started to launch their high end tvs till recenlty. Since North America is like far awary big Island :) 🏝️ , d same way Lenovol PC was like so popular in the 80s , 90s…no one knew about it till they bought the IBM Think Pad.
They are quite classy premium. Very under rated.
Great review as always man!! I'm stuck on the fence trying to decide to pull the trigger on the 75U8N or the new 2024 TCL QM851G. I will mostly be viewing Formula 1 races, History channel, and locals from a 4K streaming box, darker living room. No gaming as of yet. Best Buy and Amazon both have U8N/TCL within a couple of 100 bucks. Do I flip a coin do you have any suggestions since the specifications are so close together between models. 😊. Thanks for the great videos!
Of course U8N. U coming from like $5000 SAMSUNG with rich color. U will DISLIKE SONY or TCL.
Samsung Hisense has Very identical technology---white light 💡 coming from back mix with red/green/blue to blend into most cozy red/green/ yellow, white, brown, magenta, fushia, …….😊 since it already has white light, so if they need to display white, it just pass thru.
SONY/TCL has---🔵 light as BASE light coming from back to meet RED/GREEN at front to CREAT…..WHITE. Yes Creat white, yellow, brown, GREEN, brown etc…..it will look pestle.
Trust me if u had those $5000-6000 high end LED Samsung . U will NOT like SONY or TCL shade even the tv mgiht be like 1-2% hair above the U8k or U8N or just match. It will be VERY hard to switch off from those high end 3D samsung TVs. 😊 or Sharp tv. :) 📺
Hello and thank you for the review. Is that normal for 85 inch to have less dimming zones and brightness than the 65 inch?
Steve,between The Hisense U8N and the TCL QM851 2024 75” which you like better for movies.
Hi Steve,
Does picture degrade/desature in game mode?
Great demo of the TV upscaling. Never seen that from other reviewers.
Also great overview of the TV's menus and different image profiles. Very well done.
Thanks a lot!
Because it's the model I'm looking for, I would have liked a video comparison with the ADS Pro 75'' model. (We always want more... Lol.)
I don’t have a huge warehouse of TVs i review what I can and move on. You probably never see someone review 2 of the same model because they are purchased, loaned out or gifted. It’s a nightmare to store as well.
@@TechSteve
Thanks a lot for your answer. You're right! And reviewing a VA panel of the series is right since there are 4 VA panels out of 5 in the U8N series.
All the best to you and your excellent work! 👍👍
Like the energy of video. Lots helpful tips n tricks. Ur videos has been quite energizing and informative ! I will watch more of your videos.
Hey Tech Steve!!🤜🏽🤛🏾 Please talk about the connectivity of the cell phone, and if they TV remote can connect to the cable box, if so, walk it thru step by step!!........Thanks!!👍🏾🎓
Thanks for the suggestion, unfortunately I don’t have cable boxes. When you see chromecast and airplay that’s for mobile devices to connect to them via wifi.
Was looking at a 55" U78 or U88, is it worth an extra $200?.
A comparison between the Bravia 9 vs Hisense miniled will be very interesting. Great review, thanks
We shall see
The 55 inch UN8 has 1 dimming zone per 34mm^2, while the 65 inch version has 1 dimming zone per 37mm^2. So basically the 55 inch version has a slightly higher density of dimming zones despite only having 672 of them vs the 1600 of the 65 inch model. What these means is that black levels, highlights and low bloom performance should basically be the same between the two TVs, in fact the 55 inch version should have a very slight edge.
Also for the size, the 55-inch H8N has a great peak brightness value. I don't think people realize that pixels are typically smaller with a smaller pitch when compared to bigger size TVs. This means it's not easy to drive the smaller models harder in other to match the brightness of their bigger siblings without running into heat issues that could damage the pixels.
Anyone calling the 55" inch H8N a downgrade or not "the real 2024 model" just doesn't know what they're saying.
It doesn't work in that way/ 65'' has much more higher contrast
So should I just get the hisense U7N if I'm going with a 55"?
Hey Steve good looking TV. Hisense ain't playing with their lineup this year. Can't wait to see what the UN9 has to offer.😊
I’m not sure I will get that one, I currently playing catch up with these reviews
Hello Steve, does this TV needs calibration? What I mean.. does it really needs it? If not, can you share your best settings for it please.
Thank you.
I don’t calibrate TVs
U8N vs c855 vs x90l vs c3 vs s90c
Which one is gradually better and can you make a comparison between ❤ them?
C855 is better than u8n? I love oled but here in Brazil tvs are very expensive and i cant afford an 77" oled so im going for an mini led, anad keep the 55" lg oled i have. So im doubt between c855 and u8n that they are about to release here. I can find, easily, u8n reviews but its hard to find c855 reviews. I watched one c855 reviews, I loved the tv, but it kept me in doubt which one is better in picture. Thats all I care. Picture quality.
U8N has---7 TIMES X Contrast ratio of X90L. Its a INSANE down grade from U8N to X90L. Its like BMW X5 to X3. C3 is quiet DIM, iphone 8 , XS level dim. Day time watching is hard. Some ppl only watch tv at night. Some ppl work at Home day time , then Bright tv is MUST. Depends user case.
Tech STeve is very consitant with video quality n quite cozy vibe to all his videos. 😊
Hello guys, please help me choose a 65-inch TV. LGC4 or Hisense UXKQ. Or maybe this year's U8N? For a sunny room. Thank you for any response.

Great video 👍 why here in Europe it is vidaa tv. I wish to buy one but not vidaa. I will go to tcl because google tv. Does usa google tv works here in Europe?
Great informative video as always, thanks Steve. Personally I am torn between the 75” U8N, QM8 and QM7 still gathering information and waiting for more reviews to come in. My previous TV is the Sony 65” A80J.

@@TechSteve looking forward to watch all them. Best wishes and genuinely hope you and your channel continue to grow and more people recognize the value you offer.
@Abubaker42 wow, thanks
Wondering the same, between Rtings and this review among others, it seems the U8N is the winner especially in contrast and Blacks. TCL released an updated QM8, apparently widely different from the 2023 QM8. Unfortunately it's far more expensive.
@@justinbeamon6624 nice to see someone having the same goals as me. I will share what I know and where I stand at this moment in time hoping that it helps.
1. From the research I did TCL tend to be more reliable than Hisense either way an extended warranty is highly recommended
2. TCL are the supplier for other companies when it comes to VA panels
3. One of the things that makes U8N appealing is on 75” it uses the ADS pro (IPS) that has better viewing angles than VA this would lead to less contrast.
If the QM8 is marginally more expensive (200-300 CAD) and has adequate viewing angles I would probably go with that. The QM7 from what I know so far has poor reflection handling and I have big bright window.
Great review I can really see the dark edges after you mentioned and tested the dark colors.
Glad it was helpful!
Hello! Will there be a U6N Review? Here in Chile they are selling the 65" model for approximately USD 400
Steve between U8N and TCL Q851 for movies which you recommend.
I got the U8K, had a TCL as pc monitor total garbage output never got it to display 4k only 1080p Native.. Long story short had tcl support replace mobo still same issue, bought expensive hdmi cables since they wanted to blame the issue on me, recorded videos sent to support with proof it was there tv, they sent a software engineer to help, guy called me once regarding the issue, said he was gonna do more research on how to fix the issue would get back to me in 2 weeks, its been over 2 years. Said F TCL never again. Gave the tcl to my daughter for her room. Got the 65inch U8k boom 4k @ 144hz VRR out of the box use it every day. Sadly my 2 year old daughter broke my 5 yr olds TCL yesterday. Threw it in the garbage where it belongs. Got the 65 inch U8N in my cart right now. Looks like my new gaming pc monitor. Giving the 65 U8K to my daughter. Hisense all the way 👌
@@S4_QUATTROPOWER WHAT ths is INSANE u n your daughter use U8N n U8K. U know U8N has 290000:1 contrast. X95L has 200000:1 x90L has 42000:1 . N U8N u8K both has Color volume Match Samsung S95C n S95B.

@@S4_QUATTROPOWER I have NOT seen U8N in person , I have seen 75” U8K ADS-PRO . Its NEXT level premium. ADS-PRO has 2X contrast of ADS, n 600hz Screen refresh rate. Its NOT like anything IPS .
@@Yoga_Tv_buying I got 65 inch U8N for gaming PC and let me tell you the screen compared to the U8K is a big difference, U8k has a semi gloss screen and U8N has a Glossy screen which I love because to me it makes everything look for crisp and clean I love it. Both TVs are awesome I also forgot to mention I have a 85 inch U8K in my living room, for some reason I feel it looks better then the 65 U8K I have my daughter, could be the nits more brighter = Better picture quality imo 🖼️
So the Sony Bravia 7 is $2k and the 9 is$3k in 65”. I guess this is suppose to compete with the 7. The U8N is $1,100. I’m a fan of Sony but I would probably try the Hisense as it looks pretty darn good for the price.
I saw Bravia 7 last night at Bestbuy , omg so disapointing. I am NOT biased. I have seen HIsense U8H U8k . I own Hisense U8G. 2022 Hisense U8H Already had 160000:1 contrast Ratio. Bravia 7 in 2024 has 100000:1 . Its good just ppl didnt know there Significant Better tv than SONY LEDs ALL THIS TIME.
U8N contrast ratio--290000:1

Any chance you can get the 75U8N and compare it to the 65U8N? These two TV's have different technologies in them, the 75 has a ADS IPS panel, and the rest have a VA panel. The 65 has 1600 dimming zones and the 75 has 2000. I need the best viewing angles possible at this price range.
Sorry but I don’t have any other sizes to review. I suggest visiting your local store

Well welcome back to the ballgame Hisense 🎉🎉🎉 this is a great tv
I'm not a professional reviewer or even youtuber but would really like to see these professional youtubers like Tech Steve, Stop The Fomo, Digital Trends start covering panel differences a bit more in depth. What are you giving up when selecting the IPS ADS Pro panel in the 75 vs. the VA panel in the 65 and 85? I covered it in a basic video on my channel on my 2023 U8K 75" but these reviewers have access to more TVs. 65 and 75 is the current current sweet spot and if I was losing enough picture quality with the IPS ADS panel in the 75", maybe I'd buy the 65" or pony up the extra for the 85" instead.
Most of us don’t get different size panels, TV storage and cost is expensive for us being smaller channels. We don’t have large showrooms with a large electronic stores paying for products to review like a Best Buy
@TechSteve completely understand and thanks for responding. To add to my previous comment and of course this is just my opinion but 55" can be removed from the equation. Manufacturers like Hisense are even signaling this by packing less in their upper end 55 models. I hope to see more 75" reviews because I believe most who follow your channel and the other professional reviewers have become more interested in this size and with different panel sourcing, a positive review on a 55 VA panel can be opposite on a 75. Other than panel sourcing availablity, I'm still at odds with why Hisense uses a IPS- ADS Pro panel on their 75 and as far as I know has done so since the U8H. This is probably why the 2020 release H9G was only offered up to 65" which I miss mine. To be honest if I'm looking up a particular model and the reviewer is showing a 55, I won't watch it. More or less the 55" size has become the bedroom TV these days where picture quality takes a back seat to cost.
Just remember not everyone pays that close attention to TVs, my mother purchased a $265 65” TCL last year and she was happy as hell. When i seen it i noticed all its flaws but i didn’t say anything and let her be happy, that’s the same with the 55” Hisense for most people. We’re just TV heads that’s all.
@TechSteve yes, I agree. It's really only us geek's that sweat over the deep specs.
@24hourgmtchannel64 i’m getting away from that style of filming, the retention drop off when you talk about all that is crazy
When you got to AC Odyssey it looked blurry and the screen had a TON of distortion in the colors. Was this just an issue with the camera?
Can "Motion Enhancement" be turned on while in Game mode??
Thanks for the video I was gonna buy a 55 but stopped cause the local dimming zones is much lower than 65+ inches😊
Help me, Steve. I have a TCL 65 Q7. I connect the eARC of the TV to my Sony STR-D590 Receiver eARC with a brand-new HDMI Cable. However, when I open an App like Prime Video or Netflix on the TV and watch a show or movie. The audio from the program does not come from the speakers connected to the Sony receiver. I have the TV set to CEC On and the Sony Receiver Control with HDMI set to "On". BTW! Great review of this Hisense.
Look for pcm and bitstream settings, also this can happen if you enable hdmi pass through
how is the Hisense U8N/TCL QM8 upscaling chipset compared to Samsung Quantum and Sony XR chipset for 720p or 480p?
Hi what do you think about hisense u88n vs samsung qn90c
QN90C is in the same price category as the Hisense UX. The QN85C is more in line with the U8N. The U8N is better in that case.
Only issue is my menus and lobbys flicker on ps5. Once ur in game its fine but super annoying in menus or lobbys. And then the bad viewing angles but thats just due to the type of panel
The u8n 75" use a ips panel? I was thinking about getting one but ips panels are worst thsn va? Do you see a difference comparing to others u8n with va screen?
It’s not IPS panel . It’s called
ADS-PRO .
Ads-PRo is newer i version . Both Samsung Flagahip Qn90C n Hisense U8K 75” U8N 75” use that panel .
I have Seen - U8K 75” in person . It’s INSANE . So shocked , as I have seen what IPS looks like , it’s nothing like IPS , but QD-Oled like .
ADS pro has -- 2X screen contrast . And 600hz screen refresh rate . It’s newer higher end technology than VA . I am aiming for ADS-Pro myself

Yeah I was skeptical about ADS-PRO. About Contrast ratio. But AFTER seeing it , it BLEW MY MIND. So confusing . So i came home did research found out that its NOT the same Screen.
Samsung QN85A QN85B wrere using ADS panel . So since NO ONE EVER used ADS-PRO. it did NOT even exisit. Its new technology. When Samsung n Hisenes both putting the premium ADS-PRO in the Flagship. Ppl concluded its the IPS/ADS. Turn out its Totally diff. That ADS-PRO r seen as half tier higher than VA now by a lot of ppl . I have seen it i am still wanting one. Its like how u meet somoene attractive at a part, ur impression bar of like”best looking” person just stuck with u , doenst matter. I saw it, n asked remote in store n played with the U8k 75” ADS-PRO for like 2 hrs lol . That 180 Degree Vibrancy (glossy yet HIGH color Density at side) Utter matches Samsung S95C visual. U have to see it to believe it.
@@Yoga_Tv_buying how nice. Great memories im sure. Its a very welcoming country, indeed. Thank you.
yea but i heard the bravia 7 and the tcl both in 55" is about 2000 nits peak brightness. they are better than hisense for that size
I don’t understand your 480 problem? I have had no problem whether it be TH-cam, plex or bluray.
It was my demo, and has been fixed on my newest videos. It’s ok on streaming services they process on their servers , i use demos that I create
@@TechSteve thanks for the update :)
Can you compare with Samsung QN 90C 75 inch
Missing with the tcl c855 big fight 😮
C series is not sold in the USA
672 is the same amount the 55 u8k has. I thought hisense said they were doubling the zones again?
They did for the larger ones . The 55” usually u sit so close , it’s def gotten better Proceddor , Larger memmory 30% more , better Bloomjng control , those are big fine toning .
In Pricing/tier/markting . Ppl willing to pay 💰 for 🥩 beefy Truck 🛻, but u put HUGE engine in small 2Door coup , make coup pricier , not only will mess up Coup sale (raising price) but ppl want small coup don’t need 🥩 beefy engine. They can pay 💰 extra 💰💰💰 for BMW X3 for M3 engine as extra but it doesn’t come automatic .
If they put famous M3 engine in x 335i , it will LOWER brand (with that tier n Price tag) -- over all value .
The same reason TCL QM8 do NOT sell in 55” , SONY x95” don’t sell 75” or smaller . Samsung Qn90C only has famous ADS-PRO panel in 55” or larger . But 50” is VA (do not put best in the small size , not healthy )
Consumers want play the “I want beat but pay least “GAME .
but there ppl want U8K U8N for smalll room , they will have pick their battle .
Its so zoom in small screen u won see much difference . Giving too much upgrades , they will want to pay nothing extra . So just decent upgrade lots fine toning for 55” is reasonable
A question would be the u8k 55". What's the difference of the new U8N 55"
Processor, and Color Volume, Contrast ratio.
The 65” U8K has 165000:1 contrast, 65” U8N has 290000:1 contrast. 65” Sony x90L only has 42000:1
Dynamic Contrast(when local dimming off).
U8K -- 7500:1 , U8N -10000:1. SONY x93L -2150:1
Color Volume U8K is 1 hair away from Samsung S95B level . The U8N this year has COLOR VOLUME match Samsung S95C.
U8N 55” will Match U8K level brightness but FINE Tone everything. Including Motion. Banding etc.
Brighter the tv, especailly day time, the MORE color volume require to make image look 3D. Bright day, Brightness goes up to like 70 80 even 90%, then COLOR VOLUME comes in play to Prevent it look flat. Prob like 8-10% boost, but still a fine toning.
how is the input lag?
I don’t argue maybe this TV picture quality one of the best and it can compete with big companies like Samsung LG or Sony but I think the aesthetic look of the product is also important. For example this TV from aesthetic point is far behind of that companies that I mentioned look at the back of this TV it’s like 2010 or eight it’s too thick and aesthetically. It doesn’t look good at all. Yes I understand you are not gonna go stand right next to your TV and look at it. You’re gonna sit on your couch and watch your TV but let’s imagine you have a beautiful house, your TV is hanging on the wall and from the side I think it’s not gonna look good at all
Please review Tcl qm8 2024 tv. I like your channel content keep it up
Excellent video !
Great Review!!!
Does the stand tilt? It looks tilted ip
No
Any chance of a review for the 75" U7N?
Probably not that size, 55" is what i bought last year. I would want to keep them the same if I compared
Great review.
Thanks
It’s has an eARC?
O course
@@TechSteve thanks coz in bestbuy website they only posted connectivity with just Arc
Are you able to pair your Bluetooth headphones or earbuds with most new TVs on the market now?
Yes Bluetooth headphones will work, I use apple TV so my airpods auto connect when I want to switch to TV
I brought U8N, 85" here in Australia for $3445 which equals $2200 in US dollars
How you like it?
@@MSDOGS1976 Ordered it a week ago and still waiting for it to arrive, apparently very little stock in Australia for the 85". Looking at the U7 in store the picture is really good for the price so the U8N should be impressive. There are no U8N's in any store to even look at. So I brought it sight unseen which is not what I would normally do but considering the low price it was hard to pass up.
still waiting for it to arrive, currently very limited stock of the 85" in Australia.
I got the 85 inch here in USA. Looks great but seems like it has less dimming zones and less nits than the 65 inch. Trying to find out if its true but getting conflicting information from different sources.
@brunan-gi147 85U8N www.displayspecifications.com/en/model/e80339f1
what stand is that?
I got it at living spaces in San Diego
Can you review the Hisense u6n?
Soon as I can, I have a lot going on
1500 nits :(. Might as well get the U7N
As long as you avoid the 55" .. u will be pleased
Are you going to get your hands on the QM7 soon?
I doubt it
I want to buy the Hisense U8N 85", but the TCL QM850 85" for $1399 is amazing.
U8N has --3X of Contrast Ratio of 2023 TCL Qm8.
Yessir Hisense 🔥
1st ✌🏽️
Avoid hisense TV which comes with VIDAA OS at all cost. There are only handful of apps available and UI is really bad.
Did hisense pay you or give you this tv for free to do this review ?
Hisense has never paid me, they send me a few models but I buy most of the products on my videos.
Amazing for the money? This thing trades blows with the Bravia 9 and actually has twice as good native contrast ratio which is very important and better color gamut coverage...... The U8N is good for any price, it's a big brand flagship slayer.
Hisense is a scammy company because releases Google tvs in US to get good reviews and in other markets you get the same model with VIDAA OS.
100 is not available?
@MRSTEEL The 100" is available at our local Best Buys and have been for quite awhile.
@@stevegabriel6982 the 100 U8N is exactly the same TV as the 100 U8K, it’s essentially just rebadged for this year. Hisense were pretty upfront about this back at CES. If you want to wait for this year’s tech at that size, then the 98UX will be your boy. Mid-to-late summer, and an MSRP of $7999, (which, knowing Hisense will mean $6999 a month later.)
Hello Steve I love the Samsung TVS Steve
The TV has a lot of problems like pisturisattion and they lied about peak brightness atleast in the 55inch.The RV isn't worth buying.
The 65” is the sweet spot
As I understand it, almost NO TV has a TRUE 10 bit panel. In almost all cases it's some kind of 8 bit with software and various modes of interpolation. I think this is because, even today. A TRUE 10 bit panel is just NOT cost effective for most manufacturers, it's just too expensive. So I do NOT understand why ANYONE is talking about 10 bit. Who has a True 10 bit panel. When you look at the specs it's almost never there. It's always 8 bit or 8+, whatever that is?
Sony X90L, TCL qm8 , Samsung QN series and more are 10bit panels . It all depends on your budget
The main issue you have with Hisense is reliability. On paper, this looks like a no brainer until you drop 1100.00 on a 65” that is broken in 12 months. I’ll say this, when i was looking at the U8N at Best Buy, the salesman said he’d “rather have a budget Samsung than a high end Hisense.”
What model did you have
What i hate in this expensive smart tvs, is that you pay a lot of money, they are full of bloatware, you can't uninstal them, and they use s..ty cpu! It takes forever fo change a channel!
T Steve, don't everybody use SOUNDBAR by now. Think it's time to get rid of putting money into TV sound, let them focus on visual tech. And if sound is important buy a nice bar. 😮🎉 U the man!
Everybody excluding me. Lol :)
I have had $5000 tv as my first tv n I own 2 Hisnse U8 afterwards. So my tvs always had Good enough sound that I dont need sound bar. Lol. 😂 if they get rid of sound I would be MAD 😝
No soundbar here. Built-in speakers matter to me.
I obviously won this one guys , 😁. But anyWay, I didn't know TV sound was a big thing anymore
@@davet3098yeah its coming back now. Ppl like me I am not going to buy sound bars any time soon I had $1000 Budget went to Bestbuy to look for Sound bar to attach to my Hisense. The Bose 300 600 all sounded like mouse 🐭 squeek. Had to go up to BOSE900 or SONOS ARC just to get a little bit better. Why bother. So we turned around left. We had INFINITI CAR V6 engine with 12 BOSE speakers. I have picky ears too. Thats how Hisense tv sound Good enough for ppl dont have huge space.
I don t and i never will. Why spending extra???
My only goal is to save someone, anyone from the horrors that come along with owning a Hisense TV. For the full version of my story and many similar stories. Just Google ‘Hisense problems’ or ‘I hate Hisense’. Their TVs are horrible and unreliable. I believe they have the worst reliability rating of all major manufacturers. And the Customer Service is just as bad. So if you have any issues, even if under warranty, good luck getting them to address it. As I write this I’m ‘Hard Reseting’ my TV probably for the 12th or more time. That’s back to factory settings. It will not fix any issues, for more than a minute. So please take my / our advice and just don’t purchase a Hisense TV. No matter how good it looks or how cheap it is.
@@rob1261a first one I bought was a very cheap 55” from walmart. It died about two years later. I bought a warranty plan from Walmart that replaced it so I wasn’t upset. Next time I purchased the Hisense H9G. It had a great picture but the screen would turn purple for almost a minute at a time then turn back to normal. Returned it to Best Buy and never bought another Hi sense. That was 5 years ago. Don’t know if their QC has gotten any better.
How old is your HiSense tv? Which model? I see you've been copy/pasting the same comment on numerous videos, without ever giving these crucial details.
@@simonak9699 here are the details. But it doesn’t matter. It happens to so many of their TVs.
Model - 75U6H, 1 year old, 2 motherboards replaced, waiting for full replacement. But they are taking their time. Even after realizing it has to be replaced they really don’t care how long it takes. They act like they are doing you a favor.
Oh noooo! 😭🤮 the 75 inch has a IPS panel 💩. I would have to buy the TCL instead
Lol
