Is this U8K 8 bit or 10 bit? null

This is not the same as last years panel, this panel rates significantly higher according to rtings. Also, this is the only brand of TV, that I can never find any open boxes for. This means they’re either selling less of them, or they’re delivering a high quality product. However, it is using an IPS-ADS Display that is 8bit+frc. However, it is using quantum dot technology, so the color gamut is highly enhanced to deliver a very vibrant picture. The viewing angles are unmatched by anything but OLED and it has a solid refresh rate as well. Yes, you can get a 10 bit VA panel, that has slightly better black levels, but you give up viewing angles and potentially reliability by going with the TCL line of displays (there was a point when Best Buy stopped selling them due to high failure rates).

Hisense is doing a TERRIBLE job of "Answering" Questions that are asked so far, as of June 16, 2023. What is even worse was the entire reason "why" people were interested in the 2022 model called the U8H was because of its price of $1,500 (now selling for $1400). This 2023 model called U8K is selling for the TERRIBLE price of $2,200. And what is even worse is it appears the 2023 model uses the same outdated panel technology called "8-Bit + FRC" rather than the "True 10-Bit" technology that is needed to display HDR and simulate Dolby Vision without a "Rainbow Effect" problem.

In the manual it says 8bit +FRC. So it is 8 bit that tries to emulate a 10 bit tv with software. Ultimately you will see a huge difference with real 10 bit tv.

SandyC, it now seems obvious why Hisense does not want to answer you questions or other question. I have learned on YouTube in a comparison of TV sets that the Hisense U8K Panel uses a disappointing "8-Bit plus FRC" type of Panel. In comparison, the TCL QM8 uses a "True 10-Bit" type of Panel. This means Hisense U8K will do a disappointing type of job "Simulating" HDR content, while the TCL QM8 will "Truly" be able to display the HDR content without losing any colors.
