Okay, here's a 5-star review for a 55-inch Hisense U8 TV:
Absolutely Stunning! The Hisense U8 (55-inch) is a Knockout! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I recently upgraded to the 55-inch Hisense U8, and I am absolutely blown away. For the price, the picture quality is simply phenomenal. I was initially hesitant, but after doing my research, I took the plunge, and I have zero regrets.
Picture Quality (5/5): The Mini-LED backlight with Full Array Local Dimming is a game-changer. The contrast is incredible, with inky blacks and bright, vibrant highlights. HDR content truly shines, revealing details I never knew existed in my favorite movies and shows. Colors are rich and accurate, making everything look incredibly lifelike. Whether I'm watching a dark and moody thriller or a bright and colorful animated film, the U8 handles it with exceptional clarity and depth.
Brightness (5/5): This TV gets bright. Even in my sun-drenched living room, I have no issues with glare or washed-out images. The peak brightness is truly impressive, making HDR pop and delivering a fantastic viewing experience during the day.
Smart Features (5/5): Google TV is smooth, intuitive, and packed with features. Accessing all my streaming services is a breeze, and the voice control via Google Assistant is incredibly convenient. The interface is clean and easy to navigate, and I appreciate the personalized recommendations.
Sound Quality (4.5/5): While I primarily use a soundbar, the built-in speakers on the U8 are surprisingly good. They offer decent clarity and volume, and the dialogue is clear. For casual viewing, they are more than adequate.
Design (4.5/5): The design is sleek and modern. The thin bezels make the picture the star of the show, and the overall build quality feels solid. It looks great mounted on my wall.
Value for Money (5/5): This is where the Hisense U8 truly shines. You get premium picture quality and a wealth of features that rival TVs at a much higher price point. It's an exceptional value proposition and a fantastic investment for any home theater enthusiast.
Overall: The 55-inch Hisense U8 has exceeded all my expectations. It delivers stunning picture quality, a user-friendly smart platform, and impressive brightness, all at a fantastic price. If you're looking for a top-tier viewing experience without breaking the bank, look no further. Highly recommended!

This is an excellent television with superb brightness levels. It has fantastic contrast with deep blacks, and bright whites. It's also fantastic for gaming as it offers up to 144ghz refresh rate. The Sound is much better than I anticipate from televisions these days. The Google OS is also excellent for those that already have Google accounts because it seamlessly integrates it all as soon as you login. Very pleased with the system as a whole. Best Buy also had my online order ready for pick up as soon they opened.

I bought the Hisense 55inch H8N for my living room and it’s really a great TV has lots of nice features. The remote lights up, Dolby Vision/Atmos, HDR10, built 2.1.2 soundbar, great color accuracy, nice details and highlights, and more. This TV meets and exceeds all my needs. I play games on Xbox Series X, PS5, and Nintendo Switch game has really nice game overlays and VRR features. The apps are stored on the internal memory of the TV a nice feature as well. I recommend buying this product or any Hisense U series for that matter.

I really like the picture it shows. Its more expensive than any tv I purchased in the past. But for the price you pay right now its an extremely good quality tv. Just be sure that your ps5 is set to 4k resolution. That was the mistake I made when I first started using.
The audio settings portion was a little tricky to find. I had to play around for a little bit to get my sound bar connected.

Love how the images are super crisp with accurate contrast. I usually switch off the Motion enhancement when I’m not watching sports content to avoid the Soap Opera effect. Setting the TV picture quality to Filmmakers mode whenever possible shows super accurate colors akin to how the movie makers intended it to be. TV auto switches to Dolby’s Intelligent IQ picture quality based on the platform/content I watch. Love that it supports both Dolby vision and audio!

Bro I got an open box and it's brand new, no scratches no problems. The associate and I took the TV out to make sure it was in good condition and had all the parts. I saved $200 and this TV is amazing, nice and bright, the picture quality is amazing, the sound has great bass, treble and mids. Now I want to update all my tvs.

Excellent TV. I did a lot of research and waited for it to go on sale. Super dark blacks and no noticeable blooming. Reviews likened it to much higher end tvs. I believe best tv on the market for the sale price of $800. Still calibrating and tweaking it, but very happy with purchase.

I received the 55" U8N as a Christmas gift. After nearly three weeks of ownership, I'm extremely pleased. If you use an antenna to receive your air tv, then the addition of nextgen tv via the 3.0 tuner makes an incredible difference when watching sports. Also the gameplay on my PS5 really pops. Throw in a more than adequate sound system, and you've got a killer set at a great price. I love it!

TV has a good picture most of the time. Trouble is when scenes are dark or have a heavy black background the picture is terrible. Have contacted Hisense support but haven’t heard back. Want to return for refund
