For those looking for the best in the latest television technologies, the U8H should be a top contender. The most exciting 2022 upgrade is Mini-LED. With Mini-LEDs that are 50x smaller than traditional LED lights, local dimming and contrast control reproduce incredible black and white levels within the same scene like never before in the series. The U8H is now compatible with the Wifi 6e router protocol. Streaming from the wide selection of Google TV apps is now easier and smoother when connected to a dedicated router channel that won’t be competing with other connected devices on the same router. For gamers, the U8H now comes equipped with Dolby Vision Gaming and FreeSync Premium Pro for enhanced gaming picture contrast and even smoother, tear-free motion. And lastly, the U8H now comes with a 2-year warranty and is available in a 75” screen size. 2021 was a huge year for the Hisense U8H series and with so many upgrades, 2022 looks to be just as promising.

A: I just bought the 65" model of U8H at BestBuy with price match to Amazon.com for $949.99. More over was also able to register for the $100 no regrets offer (register at specific websites https://www.hisense-promos.com/noregrets/en-US make sure to select 'other' as the place bought). Hope this helps. On the down side the current 24 month payment offer does not apply at the $949.99 price point only 12 month plan is available.
A: The fundamental problem with the U8H is Hisense made the mistake of using the "cheap" form of "lower-quality" design by making it so the panel of the TV is NOT based on "True 10-Bit" technology. The panel of the U8H TV is based on the inferior technology called "8-Bit plus FRC." As a result, there it causes "Color Posterization" and "Macroblocking" problems. I ended up returning my U8H because of this. We can only hope Hisense listens to critics and makes it so future TV sets do NOT use that inferior "Plus FRC" technology. TV sets today should use "True 10-Bit" technology.
A: Pretty much plug and play so nope simple setup and interface
Q: Hello, Will i be able to download the netflix app with this tv?
A: Hi jersey72v, thank you for your interest in the Hisense 65U8H. The Netflix app is already pre-installed. If you have any further questions or concerns, please give us a call at 1-888-935-8880 or email us at [email protected]. Thanks again, Harley with the Hisense Support Team.
Q: Is there any limited manufacturer warranty with this product?
A: 2 Years is the Hisense Manufacturer Warranty on the U8H. This is twice as long as most other TV manufacturers. It is unfortunate the Best Buy insurance programs are far too expensive on TV sets that are larger and more expensive.
A: There is an HDMI Arc port @ 120 MHz that really should be saved for a soundbar. There are 3 more HDMI ports, 1 @ 120 mhz and the other two @ 60 MHz. For cable and other streaming devices any of these will work fine. For a new gaming device the 120 MHz would be best.
Q: Does anyone know when this tv will be available on Best Buy website? Thanks
A: I did a chat with an agent and they said "very soon" but couldn't give any definite answer. I see that the price has changed to $949 which is the same as Amazon. So I presume it will actually be soon.
Q: Do I have to purchase a sound bar with this tv?
A: I'm currently running it without a sound bar, and I'm not disappointed with its sound. It has a subwoofer in the back to give you fuller audio. But I would also purchase a soundbar if I can find a good deal. TVs are just too thin to pack in good speakers. You can't beat physics when it comes to sound.
