Q: QuestionWhat is the difference between this unit and the Hisense U8H?(5 answers)

Answered by MikeV
- A: AnswerAs far as communication with other equipment, i found if you turn off "cec" on the other devices, it should alleviate your issue. Good luck. This info is from my Denon AVR: CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) also called HDMI Control, is a feature on most AVRs that allows for one button control of supported system functions. This feature may also be available on other CEC supported devices such as TVs or projectors. CEC can control power on/off functions, volume control and source switching by sending a command over the connected HDMI cables.

An Unbeatable Deal on an Outstanding TV
I recently purchased the Hisense U8 from Best Buy, and I couldn't be more thrilled with my decision. This TV is absolutely amazing and has exceeded all my expectations in every way. Firstly, the picture quality is crystal clear. The colors are vibrant, the contrast is stunning, and the details are incredibly sharp. Whether I'm watching movies, sports, or playing video games, the visual experience is top-notch and truly immersive. What sets this TV apart from others is its audio quality. The built-in speakers, complete with a subwoofer in the back, deliver rich, full-bodied sound that enhances the viewing experience. The sound is clear, powerful, and well-balanced, making it feel like I'm in a theater right in my living room. Being an Android TV, the Hisense U8 offers seamless access to all my favorite apps. The user interface is intuitive and user-friendly, allowing me to easily navigate and install any app I need. Streaming my favorite shows and movies has never been more convenient. In terms of value, this TV is unbeatable. It was an amazing deal at Best Buy, offering features and performance that rival many high-end models at a fraction of the cost. I highly recommend the Hisense U8 to anyone in the market for a new TV. It’s a perfect blend of quality, performance, and affordability that is hard to find. Overall, my experience with the Hisense U8 has been outstanding, and I can confidently say it’s one of the best purchases I've made. If you’re looking for a top-of-the-line TV without breaking the bank, this is the one to get!

Very happy with Hisense u8k
Great tv! Colors and local dimming make the image quality amazing. Love playing video games and watching 4k movies on it. 120 hz vrr gaming is nice. Great for the price versus the competitors. More bang for your buck! Great sound, impressive built in speakers too!

Great picture! Perfect for Gaming
Beautiful, clear picture. I personally love to watch it in theater picture mode but there are lots of options to choose from. My games look incredible and there is no lag whatsoever. I have since optimized my tv for game settings for my PS5 so the picture is even better than the photo. Movies and tv shows look great too. The blacks look nice and there is good contrast. I really couldn’t be happier! I wanted a nice tv without breaking the bank and this was perfect. The one thing is that the Best Buy sellers recommended a sound system since this tv isn’t known for having great sound. I haven’t noticed it too much because I am usually using my razor headphones. But I just thought I should mention it! My brother and dad and have since bought one of these TVs after seeing mine
