    My 2ND HISENSE U8 Series 4K TV, Better Than Ever

    Purchased as replacement for original Hisense U8H purchased in December 2022. First TV failed after 18 months and HISENSE honored 2 year warranty by reimbursing full original cost plus tax. My new 55" U8N is even better than the U8H model, which was impressive. It took about 2 weeks to understand and tweak the settings, but was worth the time spent in understanding the power/performance under the hood of this set. (It was like upgrading from an in-line "6" car engine to a V-8.) The pricing makes this an especially good value for the performance received. The audio with the solid state sub-woofer is icing on the cake and negates my need for a soundbar. The new remote with button backlighting is also a plus.

    The U8N, is an amazing TV with deep black levels that almost rival OLED. And the sound from this TV is top notch. Great sound on the low end as well due to subwoofer in the back. This TV is replacing a U8K also by Hisense.

    Excellent picture, dark blacks and extremely bright. It's a little thicker than some tvs but doesn't really matter to me. Reviews say the sound is great for TV sound but I use a hike theater system. Great for the price especially on sale

    Great TV, Okay Interface

    Gorgeous TV. I just wish Google TVs interface was a bit less convoluted. I'd rather have my apps front and center rather than the personalized content pushed ahead of that. It's possible to change this, but at the cost of reduced functionality. Honestly preferred my old Samsung TV's interface that went right to the app bar when turned on.

    Great value television! Yeah... it's not an OLED, but it's as close to OLED you're going to get for a mid-range TV. So far I'm happy!

    I did a lot of research before making this purchase. I already own a Sony Bravia 7. Its great! But for half the price the Hisense is equally great. As a bonus, the TV speakers are better than the Sony. I had to get a Sonos ARC soundbar for the Sony but the Hisense built in speakers are fine. I saved even more money. Just for peace of mind, I did buy the five year warranty coverage from BestBuy Geek squad. Great TV and and I sleep well at night.

    We like our new Hisense. The only thing that we miss about our previous TV is being able to adjust the picture size. Some DVD's, for instance, have a format that prevents the picture from being full-screen. Other than that, the pic quality is good, we're still playing with sound and pic fine-tuning. It's been fun!

    The Good Reviews Are For 65" or Bigger Models Only

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Before buying my new TV (LG B5 OLED) recently I did a lot of research on TV's and I kept coming across good reviews for the Hisense U8N saying it was a good value for your money. The reviews mentioned good color, black levels and local dimming zones that help with contrast and blooming. So I ended up buying the 55" U8N and was very disappointed with the TV. My TV had poor black levels and really bad blooming even with all the correct settings. No matter what I did I couldn't improve the black levels, contrast or blooming which made for a very poor picture that looked washed out with no color. When I couldn't adjust the TV to my liking I went back and read the reviews again and I missed that they (rtings.com) excluded the 55" version from their reviews because it has a different type of panel compared to the 65" and bigger model. Also the 55" and smaller has much less dimming zones to handle black levels and blooming correctly. I will say the speakers on this TV (5 with one being a "subwoofer") sounded better than any TV I've ever heard through just the OEM TV speakers.

    Love this TV. Great value for the price. Had issues with it randomly turning on at night, but after some research and a few setting changes I was able to fix that problem. Also every once in a while it disconnects from my soundbar, and I need to power cycle both the TV and the soundbar to get it to connect again. The guide for the antenna TV is a bit odd, as it only seems to update after a turn to each channel. Overall, I consider these minor issues as it is has a tremendous picture.

    I bought this because of all the rave reviews , but frankly I am not impressed with the picture quality and IMO does not live up to the hype even after I tried calibrating the settings according to rtings.com . I find the colors washed out , everything just too bright , way too much blue. I will say that the google side is awesome , very fast. tv channels over the air are buggy , and the auto find of over the air channels are sketchy all in all I am starting to have buyers remorse The sound is where this tv shines no sound bar needed

    Overall this is an amazing TV for the cost! I have been using a fire stick for years and now no longer need that thanks to this TV. The display is so beautiful and crisp. The customization possible with what you are viewing is so helpful. I watch TV late at night and now have a TV that doesn't light up the room like a beacon. I can dim the screen and don't lose out on display quality. The sound quality is better than my sound bar

    I actually ended up returning this TV and choosing the 2023 Hisense U8K model instead. I paid $800 on sale during the memorial day sale, but I had recently tested out the U8K. This is a good TV as well, but to me the U8K seemed more vibrant with a more realistic looking picture and better color. The contrast is more consistent as well, the processing is more accurate imo. The U8K was on sale at 700$ for 100$ less as well so definitely made me happy that I liked it better. Opinion regarding picture quality is subjective and can definitely vary from person to person. I love Hisense TVs. They provide a lot of value for the money along with incredible performance. Not a bad TV by any means, I just personally preferred the 2023 model. You may love it!

    unless you are deadset on OLED, this is probably the best bang for your buck. has some ads, but its android tv so you can easily sideload apps too. 2024 is tad slower than 2025, but pic quality is exact same. speaker do sucks though, either use a cheap soundbar or bluetooth speaker. tv built in speaker usually sucks anyways.
