85 Inch U8
Pros - Great picture good sound. Love the apps and sound. Cons - The remote is basic, which is fine, except On screen instructions tell you to push buttons on the remote that do not exist, color buttons, number buttons, and 3 parallel lines button. Antenna channels guide show "No Program" for all channels until you watch one of the channels in a group, like watching 3-1 will then reveal shows for 3-1, 3-2, 3-3, etc. You then need to go to the next group to see what is on that group of channels, kind of ignorant.

Hisense 85” U8
Just purchased this television and I’m in awe. Very hesitant to pull the trigger at first. After moving my Hisense 75” to the patio we purchased this mammoth and it has been phenomenal. Picture quality. Brightness. Movies are amazing. And the 144z hz option is crazy!!!!!! It’s super heavy so u better have two or even three people to get it up on a wall if ur mounting. But once it’s set up u will not be disappointed.
