Customers commend the 65" Class H8G Quantum Series LED 4K UHD Smart Android TV for its exceptional picture quality, with many noting the excellent brightness and beautiful 4K streaming. The Android TV feature is also widely praised for its user-friendly interface and extensive app selection. While some users have expressed concerns about the black levels not being as deep as they would like, the overall sentiment towards this TV is overwhelmingly positive.
I've had the 65" H8G for about a week now and am happy with it for the $700 price I got it at. This is a secondary TV for me and put in our loft, so I wasn't concerned about having an expensive TV by one of the industry leaders (LG, Samsung, Sony). My goal was to get the most out of my $700 budget that I could. The picture quality is good, not great. I'm used to viewing a 65" LG OLED65C8PUA in our family room, so I know how good a TV can look. The Hisense 65H8G uses a 60Hz refresh rate and it's definitely noticeable vs. 120Hz. Motion is blurred and there is ghosting. There is an option to turn motion clearness (motion rate) on, but the image becomes too dark and useless with it turned on. Don't rely on the marketing claim of 240 motion rate, this is a 60Hz panel and the 240 motion rate is too dark to use. The blacks cannot get too dark before they start getting crushed and losing fine details, so they are more grey than black. It'll be up to you how you want to adjust your settings. Personally, I opted to lower the backlight and darkness settings to create richer blacks while sacrificing some image detail. I can't stand having grey blacks. The colors on this TV are very good and allow for a natural image. You can also crank them up for a more saturated and punchy look if you want. The good news is that there are a plethora of picture settings to adjust to find a balance you're happy with. There are 4 HDMI 2.0 ports (including an ARC input), one A/V input (red, white, yellow), two USB ports, a cable antenna connection for an external OTA antenna, and an optical audio connection. As with all TVs these days, the speakers aren't great. I give them credit for the volume they can get to, though. But a minimum of a soundbar is required if you want to get more out of the audio department. The H8G uses an Android operating system and it's easy to use. Tons of apps are available through Google Play. The remote has basic build quality with a black plastic casing. It does allow for voice recognition and Alexa connectivity, though I haven't tried either. There are also four app buttons at the bottom for quick navigation to Netflix, YouTube, Google Play, and Vudu. That makes for great convenience. In the end, I wanted an affordable 4K TV with Dolby Vision and a "good enough" picture at 65" and that's what I got. Don't be mislead by other reviews claiming it to be a GORGEOUS picture or one that rivals TVs that are $2000+. It's not a gorgeous picture and it doesn't rival the more expensive screens. But, it is a good value for a 65" TV with everything included within it. If you're looking for a large 4K screen with good value without unrealistic expectations, I can safely recommend the Hisense 65H8G. If you're a stickler for motion blur, though, perhaps wait until the Hisense H9G is released since that will have a 120Hz panel.

I now have owned this TV for 3 months and Is 100% the best TV I have ever had, I am not an expert other than a consumer that loved TV's since I was a kid, The Color is just Spectacular, Even the Sound is respectable When your watching the news, HGTV or Bravo it's just fine, Plenty of HDMI inputs I even hooked up the old VCR and the pic looks great on it, I have been a Big Roku fan but the Android system does the job , Google assistant is Cool, I am thinking what could be wrong, Honestly nothing, Simply I like watching TV on my new Hisense H8G It's a Awesome TV

The first thing I have to say is how this set exceeded my expectations. I was initially very impressed and that feeling continues every time I watch something on it. The price tag is very deceiving and I originally thought that I would be very disappointed with it. Not so at all. I'm used to spending a considerable amount on AV equipment and own several really nice systems, so I do have quality components to compare it with. The first thing I noticed was the very small bezel. It's not invisible, and depth wise, it's not the slimmest but it's small enough that it doesn't jump out at you and scream “here I am”. It was easy to mount on the wall by reusing my previous TV's mounting bracket. Not a huge amount of weight either, but you'll want an extra pair of hands to help mount it because of it's size. The connection jacks are adequate. It has four HDMI inputs with one of them being an ARC channel. It also has a composite video input, and RF jack, an Ethernet port and a headphone jack along with two USB ports. It does NOT have any component video inputs, which was no problem, but bears mentioning for anyone looking for that. For wireless connectivity there's WiFi and Bluetooth. The remote control is set up nicely and is slim and easy to hold. There are dedicated buttons for Netflix, YouTube, Google Play and Vudu. All of the buttons feel real good, not cheap. They're labeled intuitively and it's really easy to find the input, setting and home buttons. One of the best parts is that it has a built in mic that allows you to control or find your favorite shows or services with your voice command. It works really well through the built in Google Assistant app. My only complaint about the remote is that I wish it was illuminated but you can find what you need easily enough without that feature. Oh, and I forgot to mention that it also has Chromecast for anyone interested in casting video from their phones. Now, the most important part. What is the picture like? Well I can say it's pretty darn good. Real good in fact. I was impressed by the rich colors. I've watched a lot of different cable and streaming shows on this set and all of them look very impressive. 4K content really pops with exceptional clarity and vibrant colors. Black levels are very good and a lot more pure black that I expected. Dolby Vision HDR is also present and I noticed that it will pop up a DolbyVision notification when it goes into this mode. Disney+ has some of this content, and it looks pretty amazing. I heard the speakers for a short time before I had my receiver set up correctly. They sound... adequate. Loud enough, but not tinny or distorted. With an Android TV you have a huge number of apps to choose from to download. Netflix, Vudu and Amazon Prime are what I usually watch and they perform and look fantastic. Since I have a Google account, it was a piece of cake to set up all the details without having to type in all your information. It used my Google account and paired with my phone to set up my Google account information and even found all my WiFi info so that I didn't have to enter in anything manually. Anyone looking for a good size TV (and this is definitely a good size), but also needs to pay attention to cost (like I do), will totally appreciate the Hisense brand. This is the first one I've owned, and any reservations I've had in the past about this brand have been put to bed with this set. Really worth checking out.
