I previously owned a U6G55 and I currently own U8G65. This new U8H55 is gorgeous!! A big improvement in terms of picture clarity over the U8. Unfortunately the pics wont do it justice but I hope these will show a good variance of shades of color. A couple pics from the Conjuring which is shot in mostly dark thematics, the blacks look great you can see the specs of dirt in black and they arent blurry. Out of the box I think they finally got it right with picture color and tuning, I had to do very little corrections out of the box and out of habit I made changes. The DolbyVisionIQ and the HDR10+ picture settings look excellent this time around!! The Miniled picture quality is very noticeably better. You can really dial in the sharpness of the picture now. The factory sound on the TV is good and even has a "subwoofer" in the back to help balance the over all sound. This model also comes with a physical Google assistant button as the u8g, BUT it still has those awful yellow lights that turn on. I'd recommend putting electrical tape of them. It does have 2 120hz ports. But in the settings under Game mode, it will allow you to display what refresh rate your TV is performing at as well as if VRR and ALM are turned on. GoogleTV is ok, but I almost preferred AndroidTV even though there nearly 90% identical in function. The menu/setting side bar has changed and has more information and notifications now available to the user. The new remote is backlit as well The set up of the tv is also relatively easy if you have Gmail as you can log in from your phone and it will complete your set and add to your Google Home ecosystem. Things I don't like - when trying to back up one level in the settings, it takes you all the way out of the menu. The remote no longer has a "favorite input", you now have to manually go into inputs and select that source. The tv stands legs are nearly 10inches long and pertrude immensely!!! They will over hang on most setups if you don't have enough shelf space if your tv is not wall mounted. Hisense could've made these 6inches easily! The tv should have come with AV to 3.5AV adapter like the U8g did. Hisense has this weird marketing rollout which has pricing for the tv at $699 (everyday price) but most places are selling at $1149. I was able to find the $699 price and have Best Buy price match it and ship for quicker service and then 2 days later Best Buy removed the tv, so lucky me until the pricing marketing thing is sorted out. I'm glad I got before Best Buy took the tv off the site. I needed a tv and was going to setting for the U6H because I wanted a tv with earc this time and my U6H had a missing Atmos license, so I jumped on this U8h since it had more features than the U6H for only $200 more. Overall, I would easily recommend this TV.

This is honestly the best tv of 2022 for price to value. Once calibrated (turn OFF energy saver mode!), this tv surpasses the Sony, Samsung, or LG TVs out there. This tv has a black level that rivals OLED, a brightness level that blows away any tv on the market today, and a sound system that is unheard of in today’s world of soundbars. First, the black levels… usually with LED TVs, anytime you have a bright light… such as the moon at night, searchlights, etc, you get a halo effect around the light. This blacks are often gunmetal gray, not true black, This tv, with the miniLED system, manages to keep blacks black and manages whites without strobing or halos. Secondly, the brights. Yes, this tv is bright enough you may need sunscreen. The manufacturer brags about 15000 nits, but independent YouTube tests place it at over 22000 nits. Movies with bright scenes or effects such as lightsabers really benefit from this tv. It’s impressive. Finally, sound. This tv has a BUILT IN SUBWOOFER! yes… a tv with BASS! It actually sounds decent too. Still, I have mine hooked up to my 7.2 sound system. No issues with eARC or lip sync issues. Bonus blurbs… this tv works great for gaming on Xbox or ps5. Super fast refresh rates and excellent color.

I've had this since January 2023 and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS TV. The best TV I have ever seen aside from OLED. I upgraded from a TCL 5 series, and the difference was night and day when I swapped them. I was watching the Netflix show "Wednesday," and when I changed them out, I noticed how absolutely gorgeous and bright the image was on this HiSense. This TV is BRIGHT. I got this TV after much research because RTing.com gave it an overall 8.3, which is great for a non-OLED, but especially because it received high marks with contrast, HDR and SDR brightness, color gamut, pre- and post-calibration color, amazing black uniformity, great reflection resistance, and super-low lag. I can confirm all of these are true - especially the brightness, contrast, color, and reflection resistance is truly phenomenal (makes the TCL I had look like garbage comparatively). See photos for an example of reflection resistance, where I have a floor lamp directly behind my office chair that would reflect badly off every other TV I've had. You can just barely see the reflection on the left corner of her shirt. The only downsides are 1) poor viewing angle - if you're too far off-axis, it's pretty poor, but not enough that you need to be head-on (my TV is actually mounted higher up because it's in front of my work desk, and needs to be above my monitors), and 2) audio is pretty average, but I use a soundbar/subwoofer combo and I suspect many other users will too. It's not *bad* audio, just not great (but I've never seen a TV with amazing built-in audio). This has been replaced by the U8/K, but I would get this one while it's still for sale and save the $70. According to RTing: "The U8K has slightly better contrast and gets slightly brighter, but it's hard to notice...The U8H is the more accurate TV, but the U8K is still very accurate overall." Long story short: Best TV you can buy short of an OLED. Don't hesitate.

It's a decent albeit very buggy TV. The brightness and colors are outstanding, black is very deep black reminiscent of oled. But the bugginess has never gone away despite all the software updates. I have issues with everything from google assistant not working until the TV is power cycled (often!), to being locked up in weird UI glitches and needing to force power off (rare), motion smoothing or picture modes resetting themselves and needing to reconfigure them, slow app launch times occasionally when waking from sleep, etc. Admittedly the google assistant bugs seem mostly fixed now, but overall this TV feels like amazing hardware with half baked software. If you can live with some bugs, it's really an amazing TV PS. THE ETHERNET PORT SUCKS. Why is Hisense including a crappy 100mbps ethernet port on a 700$ TV? Anyone doing high quality local streaming from I.E plex might run into bottle necks, so you'll want a very strong WiFi setup instead PS PS. In the included picture, the white halo-ing around the youtube icon is not the TV, it's just the UI "selected" indication. You can see the white Netflix icon has no bloom around it.

I needed a budget tv that was compatible for PS5 gaming that didnt break the bank. After watching and reading hundreds of reviews I chose the Hisense UH8. I had previously purchased a samsung UHD which fell off the wall to a tragic death just 2 weeks after purchase so i didnt have lots of money to spend. Thats what brought me to the Best Buy website. After deciding the UH8 was the best for my needs, i searched for open box models and found this one just 30 miles away from me so i jumped on it and couldnt be happier. The only cons to this tv is that the remote is fairly basic and not backlit, there is only a headphone jack and optical audio out, and it has minimal memory so i cant download many apps and theres no SD card slot for storage expansion. I just added 2tb to the ps5 so i can run apps through it or my phone anyways. Overall, im really happy with this purchase and with the Hisense brand. If you are looking for a gaming TV thats under a grand, u wont go wrong with the UH8.
