The Hisense U8/U8N is a mid-range TV released in 2024 and replaces the popular Hisense U8/U8K. It's part of Hisense's ULED lineup, sitting above the U6N and U7N but below their flagship UX model. It has a new chipset and promises better brightness and contrast than its predecessor.

Rtings the unbiased reviewer that doesn’t get there TVs from manufacturers I can wholeheartedly trust. Thank You!
Uh...their scoring methodology is sus at best. I don't think they actually even watch any content on the tvs. Take for example the Sony x95k...When they first reviewed the tv they gave it a mediocre contrast score and the way they discussed the contrast was that it wasn't as good as you'd hope for with a high end LCD. Then they changed their scoring methodology a few months later and gave the x95k a terrific score and now all the sudden the contrast is excellent.
I get that we need to change how we score things from time to time, but if you actually watched some content on the tv rather than just using test patterns there's no way you could have 2 completely contradictory evaluations of the contrast of a tv.
I've also seen them describe tv diffeent tvs that they sscored the same exact way completely different than one another. LG OLED gets a "Great" grey uniformity description where the Sony gets "Just ok" with the same exact score. Their analysis is detailed, but it's not consistent.
You might consider learning a bit more about “reviews” and what they do to reach their conclusions. For example, the Hisense is absolutely a great value right out of the box…but after a few years that’s not the case. Cost of ownership over 5 years has increasingly seen Hisense owners have to fork out more money sooner to replace their short lived panels. This is not something rtings is currently talking about within its reviews. Maybe their longevity test will have an impact on this? But I doubt it.
you guys are killing it with your reviews
Can’t wait to see the 75” review. Better panel, brighter, and more local dimming zones than any other size. And the price seems like an incredible value
Thanks Abby, enjoy your presentation on the U8N!
She’s the best! Upbeat, knowledgeable, playful delivery of the stats and info. Keep up the good work! 👍🏻
Thank you so much love your reviews.
It was nice to see a critical review of a Hisense television unlike the fawning reviews I’ve seen recently, which have not seemed balanced.
Thanks so much for this review. It's actually the U7N that I am curious about, but this should give an idea of what to expect at least.
We'll have that review out soon!
CAN’T wait to see the review for the 2024 TCL QM8
appreciate your reviews
You have given me a lot to consider
EXCELLENT REVIEW - thinking about getting one of these tvs
Hi Abby great review😊
LCD panels are getting much better and better with time. They won't still beat OLED ones, but they're rapidly evolving 👏👏
They are more affordable than oled.
@@ericswanson9773 sure they are, and much more recyclable, durable and fixable.
The U8N 75" ADS Pro panel get extremely close, though.
@@MadViking82 ADS are getting excellent contrast ratio though, almost beating VA panels.
@@Valdaemonium Yeah, and who cares if the contrast is 200K:1 or 300K:1 in the end. What is more important is that the U8N 75" has the most zones in the U8N line up (2000) and thus should have very good blooming control despite the much lower native contrast. Rest of the stuff it provides are only positives, such as wide viewing angles, better response times and colors and it eliminates black smearing which the VA panels have.
ADS Pro is the panel to go if you want to game and use Desktop with your TV, and don't want to worry about burn in. Plus, this TV is really cheap.
I'd love to go for the U9N but they don't sell that where I live and at the same time, it is ugly as hell from the sides.
Blurriness on the leading edge of bright objects is way better than blooming. Great improvement.
I'd love to see a review of the TCL QM7 as well!
Great review. Thanks for the effort. I am tired of my 2016 OLED screen burn-in. I keep holding out hope for 3D HDR OLED…but……I like a C3 77 inch or 83 inch is in the cards.
Hope? More like cope
Thanks for the review
Thanks for watching!
I'm getting my U8N in a few days, so after watching various reviews other than this one. I'm not going wrong with this TV.
Great video!
is it possible to accesss the HDR demo footage you use for the review?

Great review. Definitely confirms my biggest worries however! The 2 standout QC issues, bugs, and color inaccuracies are enough to keep me AWAY from Hisense yet again this year :( I had high hopes their new 85/100u8n would be better but after this and other reviews, I’m convinced I’ll look to the new TCL and Sonys for our next big tv 🎉 thank you for your hard work!
Ps. I had really hoped the online tv reviewers woulda called Hisense out on their QC issues this year, maybe y’all did and they just didn’t listen :/ oh well 🎉
It got a 8 in color accuracy and with an average of only 3.5 de, most colors will be identical to the naked eye.
Hisense had --BUG issue evey year upon lunch . U8G had insane Tcon board mess up Pesterizarion , U8H has sever red ghosting , U8K had something else I forgot . They usually fix with software update within weeks at Incredibly speed . 😊
Yeah Quatum TV even uploaded new video saying new update made the 2021 U8G better ! 😊 same here my 2021 U8G still gotten worked on thru the 2.5 yrs each update it made image look better .
My 2 Hisense U8 doesn’t have the Buggy issues . I have had both of them long enough to know they r quick n snappy . Usually they release a mid summer update then Sep/Oct after that when ppl buy them around Black Friday rarely run into anything .
The 75" u8n has a ADS IPS display while the 55", 65", and 85" have a VA display. The viewing angles on the 75" should be much better with that type of panel. It would be great if you could take a look at the 75" model.
Curios to see how this TV compares to TCL's new QD mini-led model (QM851G), especially considering the latter's 65 inch model is $350 more expensive in my region. It might be worth it if the software is more stable and has better eotf tracking.
Bought the 75" and it looks great. However, I keep seeing annoying flickering horizontal lines on mine. Its making me want to return it
I really wanted another OLED LG tv but Best Buy had the U8N on sale for $999. We had just bought new kitchen appliances, so I had around $700 in BB rewards which included a gift card. When I put the TV in the cart to pay for it there were all these other coupons. I somehow only needed $26 out of my pocket. When I told my wife, she was confused too, but happy I didn’t cost us more money. I usually fight for the most expensive on my list but this was by far the cheapest. The he TV arrives tomorrow, so hopefully I don’t regret not getting an OLED.
Dude once u go Hisense U8 , u can NOT go back to WOLED. My family (working in IT ) only buy high end Tech, Mac PRO with M chip, Ipad pro with M2 Chip, SONY Xm4 ear buds, iphone 15pros. BUT they only buy Hisense in terms of TV. Hisense U8N has --COLOR Volume Match Samsung S95C. Anything thats Bright needs MORE COLOR Density/volume than Black. Because as long as the enviroment is Bright, anything will be SEEN/knoledged by BRAIN 🧠 as Black. Like u turn lights on anything “black “ in your room is in fact dark grey, but your brain 🧠 tells you its Black. The SAme way that lights on the white wall in fact is grey, beige , but brain tells u its WHITE😅😮. Brain 🧠 does accesement over the environment to determine the Color. So our brain is biased. As tv gets Larger like 65” 75”, the image stretch OUT. The Color Volume make image more 3D, NOT black. Color volume n Brightness (both WOLED C3 C4 lack) make things more Contrast, 🥬 vs. 🧩. HIghway bill board look so Bright n vibrant because Color Volume, NOT black. U8N is goign to be a wow (its out of box prob on Vivid Mode, u prob need to change to STandard Mode n turn”Brightness” “Black level” down n “COLOR” up to look like OLED tho. )
@@Yoga_Tv_buying very cool, it’s being put where my LG OLED is, so it can go in the darker, more controlled basement and the big 3D plasma in the basement is going in the bedroom as long as I can find someone to help me carry it up 2 flights of stairs. Luckily I bought all the same wall mounts.
Does this TV has "Multiview" or "Picture in Picture" feature?
Are the white balance calibration settings you used for testing for all HDR (filmmaker, dolby vision) /SDR (theatre night) modes? or just SDR modes? When you switch between HDR/SDR/dolby vision modes they have their own white balance profile settings which defaults to 0 for all %'s

I'm not so sure about counting on Sony when it comes to fixing bugs. Last I checked they still haven't fully fixed the A95L.
As an owner of a plasma tv years ago and from what I’ve heard and read OLED still has some burn in issues over time just like the plasma tv’s of the past.
Even if the burn in is less than the plasma tv’s of yesterday year I’m sticking with the mini-led tv’s for now……imho.
I’ve read that the new U7N is comparable to last years U8K……..
Luckly the one I got doesn't suffer from QA issues. YMMV, but honestly even Samsung has QA issues these days.
Just got mine, but for some reason, the remote control won't backlit.
I really enjoy Abby videos. She is very professional with the way she presents the product . And she’s quite the speaker very articulate n Eloquent:) ❤
Love the U8K•65. 🥰
Ya it is nice except for the DIRTY SCREEN EFFECT it has
What are you talking about that was the U8N TV review@daviddougher8637
@@daviddougher8637 Do you think the TCL Q7 has less DSE?
@@sector7676EVERY TV has DSE. I had $5000 Made in Japan 60” Tv had SIGNIFICANT DSE. It is a PREMIUM TV issue for over 14 years. A lot of ppl used to buy Direct LED suddently Upgrade to premium LED they though its a Brand thing its -ALL premium LED thing.
DSE is caused by upon turning on, the back n local dimming off ,the back panel is not brightened , only front panel light up so u see the DSE. Once back panels Boost full brightness, 🔆 all the funny visuals Gone u see no issue. 95-98% panels if have ANY DSE will not effect real life viewing at all. ONLY the OCD ppl gets mad n go online bash about the DSE. Cuz they STUCK in that” I need everything PERFECT” fixation.
@@Yoga_Tv_buyingmy last two tvs, sony xf900 and s90c dont have any dse, not even a little bit..your 5k tv was pure sht lol and you kept it...😂 Not everyone has low standards...
how is the Hisense U8N/TCL QM8 upscaling chipset compared to Samsung Quantum and Sony XR chipset for 720p or 480p?

She mentioned there’s a 100 inch model? Anyone know where I can find it doesn’t seem to exist
Does the u8n 75" use a ips panel? And the others are va? I was thinking about getting a 75" but i just found out its ips and I dont want it.
it uses an ADS-Pro panel, we bought one, so we'll be able to offer more insight once we test it and gather our own data!
Sounds like this could be amazing... With just a bit of polish. Hisense needs to work on the bugginess of their TV's in general. There has ALWAYS been problems with TV modes, specially on boot.
I was almost convinced not to buy the u7k due to "bad viewing angle" reviews. Imho "the tv gets smaller at an angle" is the only concern you should have in regards to viewing angle, the brightness difference is negligible in comparison. I was a samsung prophet before but now i sing hisense hymns. Sony, well, you dont really find sony in SA, it's not even listed as a supported dstv device so not sure if you can watch sports on sony in SA, also, shops dont really stock them.
I just purchased a U8N 75in a week ago. The color and brightness are great. But the 2000 dimming zones do absolutely nothing to eliminate backlight bleed in the black bars. It’s worse in HDR, but it is very noticeable regardless. It creates a strobing effect when you watch content, which is very distracting if you also have used an OLED. I’ve tried killing the brightness of the display, but the backlight bleed persists. Do not buy this tv if you are seeking a cheaper option for OLED-like contrast.
I have the 65" U8G. The panel is great but man.. the eArc/CEC is absolutely frustrating. I'm going to get an LG OLED next.
Hi, any idea of when you guys mite, get hands on the new Sony bravia 9? Thanks darrell
We're nearly finished testing it, so we should have a review of it soon!
Almost got this one but found out about the side viewing issues QC issues the one at the store had a blown screen and its replacement had issues to. I settled for the Samsung S90C and love it
Yeah it’s OPEN secret that BEST buy HATES Hisense . 😊😮 ex employee exposed , they have SCRIPT (forced by Management )about HOW trash talking Hisense TCl. N “make sure tv shut off , or unplugged from wall ,if on then no source food or set to look blown out “ “if ask for remote to change setting , clam can not find remote “ “if customer show interest , tell them bad quality control n processing .” 😮
Literally scripted .
I bought the 100” U8K for $2999 and paired it with the Sonos Arc, Sub & pair of Era 300s for $2000. In my bright living room that gets a lot of south florida sun light, it’s been an amazing home theater setup for $5000. Paired it with my PS5,Xbox Series X, Apple TV, Nintendo Switch & IPTV Box. Zero regrets and I’ll pick a Hisense at the 100” size over any OLED that’s smaller. My LG C1 77” is literally collecting dust now and looks like a dim ipad on the wall compared to my 100” U8K.
I agree . I walk pass centrual train union station in Toronto . N saw 😮the 110-120” business LED display like Wall/tV type of thing . The immediate real Life proportional visual n especially 😮Landscape look so particular 😮.
I was thinking like wow , ppl got 77” oled have NO idea what they miss out on. Life size propotion landscape gives a 3D Theater 🎭 type visual .
When will the TCL QM8 and QM7 reviews be coming? I know they aren’t yet available in Canada.

So what mini-LED sets are better at Judder and Upscaling? Other than Sony?

I love Abby!!
Caleb with Digital Trends gave it a very positive review. He didn’t say it was perfect but said most people would be happy with it. But if you’re that 1% that has to have the best at whatever cost then it’s probably not for you. The Sony 7 she mentioned as a better alternative is almost twice the cost.
Do u notice Digital Trends’ “ Possitive Reviews” often have a LOT of mushy looking Images. IF he says “omg Hisense U8k Blooming control is next level , its very black” --matching with a dull foggy image.
He will say :”Look at the SHINE on the Wall of Samsung S95C so impressive” -Matching with Agreesive BLINK . He will say “ the image on U8N is next level” --Matching with a Dull image again.
IN Advertising, they play with Neuro Science brain 🧠 reaction. when Visual /conscious Mind do NOT match. It creats “conflict” which release cortisol/tress/BAD experience. Imaeine U show a pic of your best friend to a female :” MY Buddy is SO HOT , u need to date him”. When he’s like Sub 5. Or a Man has weird looking type woman fetish, n SHOWS off :” omg she is so hot!!!!🥵” at their buddy’s house. Ppl will 😮 vomit air .
When repeat 4-5 negative emotion towards an Image , our brain 🧠 😮believes its BAD experience . It can bake in. (When woman get asulted in 1 house, get close to it, will still tiger the pain. Brain make relation to --Warn) so the woman will see the--HOUSE is danger, not the guy does the assault.
SO Digital Trends Videos are VERY suspicious because he has been doing that TO Hisense n Samsung Flagship QD-OLED n QLED for a few yrs.
I am not trash talking. Its VERY open known Advertising trick. Either d Person he hire has beef with HIsense/Samsung, that digital trends has no idea they are doing it himself. Or he just doesnt care.
How does Samsung QN85C 75" compared to Hisense U8N models the same size?

I'm trying to decide between the TCL Q7 and Hisense I'U8k. I don't watch HDR but would like to have deepest blacks possible along with lowest motion stutter...
Good luck finding a u8k
@@Mediansbxb they've got them available on Amazon but I don't see the 85-in on there
What is it with Hisense & not being able to make a TV with stable software? My H9F has a great picture for the $ but is buggy as hell... Turning the TV back on with Game Mode set prior has the colors & input lag all messed up.... I always have to cycle to a different picture mode & then back to Game Mode to get it working right.
I have to do this every single time I turn on the TV. It's very annoying. The menus are also very laggy for the first minute or so after turning the TV on & don't always register your inputs. Clearly there is a problem here that they never fixed.
I have the I8K and I have not experience any bug, except audio sync issues with ARC. After tons of experiments and not real help from Hisense, I have discovered that any issues can be resolved by doing ONE thing - press and HOLD the power button when you turn off the TV! This actually resets the software, while a quick press just turns the power off. I realized this once I thought about the fact that it is Google OS, and you are basically doing what you would do on your Android phone. My sync issues are a thing of the past!
@@HardCold-Alquan You shouldn't have to do a reset just to get things to work right. That's the point. Don't make excuses for them, it's not acceptable.
The issue of bugs seems to be remanant in Hisence TV's. I guess they put are their R&D into having the brightest tv on the market as this one being even too bright for good quality picture. The old Samsung approach. May be pleasing to the eyes in the showroom but not so great in reallife situations.
@@racineurr.8924 For sure.... Having to change TV modes every time I turn it on just to get Game Mode working right is a huge bummer. The Android TV in my H9F is laggy as hell too.
It seems to be an ongoing issue with many Chinese companies... They don't seem to put the proper time/money into R&D, specially when it comes to the software side of things.
I have U8K. Software up to date, no issues.
Are the larger sizes this year using ADS pro? As that should drastically improve viewing angles. Panels this size are basically bedroom TVs where viewing angles don't matter as much.
75” U8N is ads pro. Then the U9N 75” 85” are also ADS PRO :)
@@Yoga_Tv_buying I believe even the 75" U7N is ADS Pro.
If the TV is dimmer and more colorful in HDR Game Mode, does that mean the EOTF and Rec2020 gamut is more accurate in HDR Game Mode than it is in HDR Filmmaker?

Just ordered my U8N with the prime day discounts. I was considering the Sony x90l and even go all the way to an LG C4 but that one is 600 dollars more with the discount. I’ve always had lgs and they are great, never had hisense. If there something I don’t like I’ll sent it back. 600 bucks over 5-10 years use is really nothing if that means I’m happy with a better tv
It's interesting how the 55 u8k and u8n have the same amount of dimming zones. I thought Hisense said there were doubling them again.
Tv at diff size can be bit different i guess the S90C 83” are WOLED, but 77” is QD-OLED. The QN90C 50” n smaller are VA panel, but 55” n larger are ADS-PRO.
Ppl sit close to 55”, prob dont need as bright as the 65” i guess :)
I know it’s a toss up, but gray uniformity is most important to me
Does it support 4k 120hz, or is the resolution lowered to 1800P like on TCL?
which tcl? i think you're talking about 2022 tv's.
@@tradito No. Every single TCL tv lowers the resolution and disables sharpness as soon as you enable 120hz. I have last years model and it does that. Haven't seen this years model but I'm done buying TCL tvs. Even if they finally offer true 4k 120hz their lower resolution/streaming up conversion sucks
@@tradito All TCL tvs lower resolution when 120hz is enabled at 4k
It does 120hz plug in n play. :)
Yes tCL does that with pc Gamming . So the last year TCL is not good for PC 120hz . This year I think might have fixed it tho using diff chip
Here in EU hisense has Vidaa OS. I would take buggy android OS over vidaa OS any day of the week.
Same I'm in the UK and will wait for the TCL C855 as it's got Google TV
Also here in India it uses Vidaa but still have brightness bugs in them and panels dont go bright above 500 nits (U7K)
Thanks for the video! Are you guys doing a review on the TCL QM8 2024 anytime soon? Also a comparison between this Hisense U8N?

What is the difference between the 65 va panel and 75 ads pro panel?
we can't say as we haven't gathered data yet, but we did buy it so we'll be able to offer more insight once we buy and test it!
@RTINGSdotcom thanks I appreciate it. I'm not sure if the 75 is better to spend a little more. And how are the colors on the 65 inches? I've heard they are pumey or flat in orange? But most reviews I see for the u8n state are fabulous. Also, have you tested the hisense soundbar ax5125h 5.1.2?
So BGR isn't for U8N 75" panel's what's should be then!?
ADS-pro .
I am aiming got that one right now 😊
@@Yoga_Tv_buying curious tô see If contrast would be Nice too
@@thiagodelgado3128 it has 2X -Contrast Ratio of typical ADS. The Samsung last year QN90C has that same screen too. If u go to Bestbuy . Look for QN90C (that Samsung will NOT look as good as HIsense. Because it will have higher blooming than last year U8K). But u can see that Glossy elegant screen.
I have seen last year U8K 75” . EVERYONE in the store zoomed in calling it OLED . The Guy right cross from U8K 75”, he was looking at SONY A95K 75”. Mistook me as employee came over to like ask me bunch questions lol 😝 it was hilarious. Cuz I was d ONLY customer there entire large store beside him lol. N he like got so confused that ADS-PRO panel looked like QD-OLED n he was going around circles vetting that Hisense U8K . Lol n comparing that to A95K n got more n more confused cuz I dont think he expect U8K could deliver an Image look like SONY flagship QD-OLED A95K 75” lol, but U8K was more bright n vibrant. Lol
With latest Firmware on LG 2022 and later Models u can disable all Ads 🙋🏻♂️
I bought one and love it, it would be perfect with a no dead pixels, i got one :(
Is it true the 55 performs differently from the rest of the sizes
In this series, that's probably the 75", since that size uses an IPS panel instead of VA like the rest of the series.
@@traditoit’s ADS-pro . Quite different than IPS .
ADS-Pro is more premium than VA . Has 2X contrast ratio of ADS.
So let’s not call that IPS
Is the U8N not their flagship 2024 TV? I'm confused.
Yeah the U9N will come out later. Then UX. U9N will be like SONY X93L VS X95L status
Just got mine and while it looks great, the qc on mine sucked. bunch of black smudges that were big enough to be seen from 10 feet away in bright scenes
I saw a review saying color looks flat and pukey. It showed the u8n using the color orange. I wanted to confirm that wasn't true because I've seen a lot of good stuff about this tv.
Is a shame so many capable LED TVs have such poor viewing angles. The brightness levels in HDR are impressive, with these mini LED TVs doing great black levels, too. But the image fades too quickly at an angle and that's a deal breaker for me.
That is quite unfortunate especially if you bring guests over frequently for sports or movie nights. The only thing you can really do to circumvent this (besides getting an OLED or waiting for newer LED models) is to buy the biggest screen size you can possibly afford and accommodate space for.
The SONYs do not have this issue - especially if you can get a X95/3L or a BRAVIA 7/9
@@danmks2 True, but Sony's Dolby Vision implementation is a bit odd. Which is a shame as their picture processing is legendary.
You can't have it both ways. The TV's with the best local dimming have worse viewing angles. It's always a tradeoff with mini led
@paulcox2447 I see you coping/fangirling so hard in every led tv comments section 🤣🤣
I have an oled myself but its just sad to see
I've got last years U8K and it is amazing--for video. Viewing angles are great. Contrast is fantastic. Brightness is the best I've seen. Overall the video is a touch better than oled to be frank (I've got 3 OLED TV's).
Drawbacks include bugs (earc drops out not infrequently, SDR blows out sometimes when switching from HDR (switch back to HDR than back to SDR to fix it), and on and on). And for gaming it's pretty lousy. Smearing can be pretty bad, there's some DSE, and VRR flickers something horrible. My r635 is a better gaming display.
Yeah dude U8K is like SONY X95L Level. If u pull X95L on Rtings. Then U8K on Rtings. On 2 separate internet browser side by side. EVERYTHING in line exact same level. Its crazy ppl dont know such tv existed.
U8K has 4X contrast ratio of SONY x90L. 2.5X contrast ratio of X93L. Ppl really do NOT know what they are missing out if they have not seen U8K in person 😅
Dse-instant return
Is expense the biggest reason why no more than 2 HDMI ports are 2.1?
It's because they use mediatek chipsets. They aren't cheap, they are the biggest manf on the market. They just haven't made a set with 4 hdmi ports that companies can buy. LG has 4 because they build their owns chip
@@paulcox2447 thanks!
Vidaa OS in europe is a no go for me

Hello, why wasn't 1080p @ 240Hz tested. You mentioned VRR with 1080p @ 240Hz but never tested to show it works properly or shot the motion blur @ 240Hz with VRR disabled. It makes it seem its not capable of 1080p @ 240Hz at all.

I read the 75 is a different screen type and is not as bright as the rest of the line up..
It's actually brighter.
Please do the u76n
👀
Yesssssssssss!!!!!
Bugs will be get rid of via software updates
Literally 0 reviews in the whole of the interenet on the 55 inch that is half as bright with like 40% fewer zones. It might as well get a different designation.
Its not bad panel. Looking at U8K 165000:1 cotnrast ratio. 75000:1 native contrast.
2024 SONY Bravia7-100000:1 contrast Ratio, 5700:1 Native contrast.
Sony X93L-72000:1 contrast ratio, 2150:1 patehtic native contrast.
SONY X95K-100000:1 contrast ratio, 2015:1 Native contrast.
Sony X95L--200000:1 contrast ratio, 5500:1 Native contrast.
Thoes were ALLL the TOP panels last 2 yrs. U8K 55” will still be better than 98% of LEDS Lobally today. But U8N is more advanced than U8K, with Better Bloomig control, HIGHER color volume, Larger Memory/faster processor. Its INSANE value.
I went to Bestbuy last week. The U7K last year even look a LOT like (in between ) version of X90L n Bravia7. BB had U7K facing X90L n Bravia7. Lol. It was so Comical that a very budget U7K look better than X90L. I have seen U8K 55” in store last year when I was looking at 75” 55” U8k in person. I know what U8k 55” look like. OMG Its so nice, image very refined. COLOR Dense/Rich looks like QD-OLED. It LOOKS SIGNIFICANTLY 😮more Advanced than Matted Screen Bravia7, X90L, n (SEVERLY low native contrast soft image) x93L.
WE do NOT put 8 cylinder Engine in Small light weight 2Door coup car. 🚗 the 55” so shrunken zoom in its UNNECESSARY to have OVER amount of LED (cost more, but customers expetct to pay little or same).
--the same reason TCL Qm8 only come in 65”. In Business/consulting/Marketing. There is CAP. HOW much customers willing to spend for the Size/tier. Its a BAR . We dont want to pay $$$ regardless how much a SHAMPOO will make our hair 5% sleeker. BUT in Costco in LARGE Quality , we are willing to pay MORE in BULK. So its MARKETINg principle--Never put FLAGSHIP in SMALLER CAR/TV….(kids size iphone)…consumers have a CAP in mind. They will ACTUALLY be MORE angry n UNappreciative of the LARGER size $$$$, because they are Used to get small for “cheap”now “just size up why so much more”!!
In business Marketing:” if u put Highest tech in Small Models that u can ONLy charge X amount of low price, it has CONSUMERs Relate your BRAND as --CHEAP. “ AS Hisenes invest MILILLIONS $$$$ for NBA etc. They stil release 55” for their high end panels last a few yrs they are donig US a Favor.
In China, i saw this year they do NOT release the U8N in 55”. I was surprised to find out when I went to look for reviews. 😊
When is Sony’s new Bravia series being reviewed?
Our BRAVIA 7 review will be live next week!
My U7K broke in 2 months, their panel quality is very low.
Didn't you buy at store with 5 year warranty? Sorry you were just unlucky.
@@ericswanson9773 I returned it to Costco, they were out of stock to exchange it, I’ve added money and bought C3.
@@ericswanson9773 I returned it to Costco and these TVs were out of stock, I decided to add more money and bought C3.
@@ericswanson9773Don't even need the 5 year for this case. The one year from Hisense should have it covered
Where's Daniel still working there?🤔
He’s definitely still around!
thought I wanted one of these, but Im going to save extra for the Bravia 9
Hisense very goood👍
They didn't touch on local dimming performance in game mode.

I don't get why Samsung is the ONLY one who has low input lag motion interpolation while in Game Mode! I do NOT want to buy a Samsung... but it being the only one with this feature, I may have no choice.
Agreed. I like interpolation and a low latency mode like Samsung has is a great improvement of it.
I don't care about some artifact, but the low often over 100 ms of latency most interpolated modes on other brands have is a lot.
An interface full of ads is a no-go for me, no matter how good the TV might be.
LG has very minimal ads if that is important to you. You can completely turn them off except for programs it suggests for you. No true ads though.
@@paulcox2447 Thanks for the suggestion. I have almost no tolerance when it comes to ads in media products. For example, having a remote with a dedicated Netflix button is a huge nope.
I would rather pay the money I'd "save" by buying a product with ads and data harvesting.
Host drop the hfcs
Paid $480 for a 55" U7K
Amazing. I went to Bestbuy, U7K looked SIGNIFICANTLY better than SONY X90L at near distance. Its comical ppl all praising x90L.
Hey tv manufacturers.......is there ever going to be a tv that doesn't have dirty screen effect...make these so called nice tvs just to have DSE....
QD OLED and OLED do not suffer from DSE. QD OLED in particular are essentially perfectly clean
Nice review guys but nothing comes close to an oled let alone a qd oled 😢. Nice tv overall but when in dark everything looks like you immediately understand the freakin blooming issues 😢
European name of this TV?
Yeah, would be great if they would mention that in the reviews.
(+ information about if it's the exact same model in US/Europe and if there's a huge price difference because that's sometimes the case)
Can't find it here in the Netherlands in any webshop.
@@BeetjeVreemdcheck out the TCL c855. after my own research it's my favorite new TV.
I like RThings but I hate Hisense
The TCL QM851 2024 will beat them easily 🙋🏻♂️
what a mess. Pass. Thanks!
100 inch? There is no 100 inch U8N this year.
Yes there is. Last I heard from Best Buy is they’re expecting it within 2 months
@@Mediansbxb I mean, Hisense own press release states the U8N comes in sizes up to 85 in.
I've been buying TVs for decades and I won't buy anything other than Sony and LG's at this point. Buy anything else and you'll definitely want to buy the extended warranty. Hisense and their longer 2 year warranty is actually a negative because it will probably die within 2 years and you'll have to deal with manufacturer warranty which is terrible or you can wait until the extended warranty kicks in 😹 either way it's a hassle when something breaks
Ha Ha Ha gets high rating yet doesn't work properly 😂. Thats not Biased 😅
More buggy firmware from China, don't expect them to fix it, any updates will introduce more issues.
The versions sold in the USA have Google, in the UK we get Vidaa and it is garbage.
I rejected my U7K due to their inability to come up with an update that cured it's refusal to recognise which
HDMI source was active, and a new interface board solved nothing.
Sony TV's are more expensive for a reason, and they back them up with technical support, something that
eludes the Chinese brands.
Well, believe it or not, My Sony TV has a Wi-fi bug and a grid effect “Dirty Screen Effect” issue 😢
@@asafblasbergvideographer If it has an Oled panel made by LG i am not surprised.
You have to fight for your rights and demand it is replaced or refunded.
It took me months to get a refund on my Hisense, but in the end they agreed that there was
nothing they could do the cure the fault.
