Hisense - 55" Class H8G Quantum Series LED 4K UHD Smart Android TV

Works great, & even has an optical audio port¹, other than that, I don't have much to say, I mainly bought this after reading an online review² on this being a good tv at the price-range I was looking at. Oh, the tv's speakers suck, but honestly, what tv actually has good speakers; I mean, they sound fine, I just personally don't like them, & I'm eventually gonna get a soundbar, sub, or something to replace them with anyways, so it doesn't bother me. ¹The Best Buy listing didn't mention one at the time I bought this, unsure if it's now updated with the correct information. ²For anyone wondering, I believe it was somewhere on Rtings, unsure of which article though (it's been a while).

So im going to break this review down into different parts. Picture: Amazingly clear picture quality. Only a semi reflective screen so this is great for rooms with moderate or bright lighting. Design: I love the thin and light-weight design which makes for a great tv to manage if you need to relocate it. Smart features: Love the andriod tv integration and built in casting. This tv is really responsive with minimum delay. The ability to load apps to the device is a plus which is perfect to just use your remote instead of your phone. Sound Quality: This is the reason for the 4 star review. The sound quality is poor. Sounds like you are in a large empty cathedral. The sound seems too distant. I'd recommend getting a sound bar or some external speakers. Motion rate.: Motion rate is superb. I've used this with my xbox and switch with no motion delay. The picture quality was super clear and fast. I typically stream my shows and this tv was pretty good with streaming with the only downside being audio quality. A great plus for this tv is the multiple I/O slots. Not too many tv's come with 4 HDMI ports. This allows me to connect my apple tv, PS4, xbox, and nintendo switch with out having to change my connected devices. Voice Remote: The voice remote works well and is responsive when switching between apps. There is a bit of a delay when trying to navigate content within certain apps such as netflix and youtube. Not a fan of the voice features, I'd rather use the navigation keys on the remote. **Update** I contacted Hisense customer support about the sound quality issue and they were able to provide me with some tips on adjusting the sound quality such as adjusting the balance. While it did improve the sound slightly, it was still not optimal but much improved. I decided to connect this tv to a surround sound system.

I purchased this a few weeks ago. AWESOME in my book!! I personally prefer the Standard picture mode because I like saturated colors. Vivid mode is overkill. It is my first Hisense TV, coming from TCL, since Series 1. What made me choose the H8G over the TCL Series 6 was the 700 nits of brightness. This is the better choice in my opinion. I am thoroughly impressed with the dark blacks this TV provides. You Tube has some tremendous 8K video demos to watch that showcase dark blacks. Even though this isn’t an OLED screen, for my taste, it does the job. I picked it up for $500 on sale and, I’d buy it again at that price. I recommend it for those who want a decent TV at a great price!

This was a good buy for me. It didn't break the bank at $511.19 at 55" and the picture quality is awesome and the sound is great(It is on 7 or 8 most of the time and when there is a movie or video that is loe I turn it up to 10 to 12 at the most). I reviewed this tv and others for months before I brought one and the Hisense was my best choice. It has enough of inputs to add whatever you want and I say android tv is the best. The 4k and HDR is great but not the best it can use sone improvements on some other things also but for the price this is awesome tv. So check it out I promise you won't be disappointed.

After reading such positive recviews about the Hisense H8G, I purchased the 55" version a month ago. Boy, was I pleasently surprised when I unboxed and set up the TV. The sound is above average, and the picture is terrific! Using 4K content (Dolby Vision, HDR) via Netflix it's hard to believe that there could be a better picture than this TV displays. This is an Android TV and the system is quick, responsive, and has tons of apps and features. I've attached two photos that don't do the TV justice, but it's always nice to have a photo to give a reader an idea of what I see on my end. In fact, I happened to get my hands on an expensive Sony A8H OLED yesterday, and set both TVs up side by side. For $1,200.00 more, the Sony does display some better dark/black details, but to be honest the difference was not great and the relative darkness of the Sony OLED screen (vs the brightness of the Hisense Quantum dots) made that difference even less significant. For my money, the Hisense H8G is a terrific TV and and even better value in the 4K market.

Yes, you read my title correctly. Hisense has come a long way, and it is definitely making a name for itself again. With the sleek, slim and gun metal/black border design, it will catch the attention of your guests! This unit has a gorgeous 4K display. Netflix, Disney+ and other streaming services look amazing and crisp; all thanks to its refresh rate, full array back-lighting, Dolby Vision and HDR that the ULED panel has to offer. The sound is great, in terms of being an integrated speaker. That's saying a lot, because as most of us know, built-in speakers are usually subpar and you would need to go get an external speaker to increase the loudness. But, this speaker will get the job done. And you can even change the sound setting if you are mounting the unit. Who knew that was even a thing? And to tie it all in, the Android OS that runs the magic. The interface is simple and user friendly. You'll feel at home if you are an avid Android user. If not, it will only take you a quick minute to get used to the remote and user interface, but once you get the grasp of it, it's just fluid. During setup, if you are an Android phone user, it will ask if you will like to install apps that are on your phone onto your TV. If you opt out of that, you can always visit the Google Play store to download your favorite apps and games! The TV also comes with an array of connections (HDMI, USB, Composite , Ethernet and HDMI ARC for external surround sound speakers). So connecting your favorite blu-ray player or gaming console will be a breeze. What more could you ask for? Oh yeah, all these features for an exceptional value that is very competitive. If you're looking to make a 4K television purchase soon, you will not be disappointed with the quality and rich feature set Hisense has to offer.

the TV is amazing..the first show that was on after installation was Willy Wonka..so bright so vibrant. Its impressive...it took me a while to adjust to a smaller screen..(from 82" to 55") the sound is awesome too..it has an equalizer from music to dialog that doesn't require you to turn the volume up or down. The remote..very easy to navigate between the television and apps. This would be an excellent tv for older people that aren't that tech savy.

not an Oled tv but picture is awesome, very bright and nice contrast and colors, perfect for a bedroom, lots of apk including Kodi for your local library.
