    Nice 55” TV - platform was a little bothersome, but managed okay - very heavy TV - picture and color are great

    Finally stepped into 2025 technology with the Hisense 55" U8 smart Google TV and glad I did! I did not know Hisense before seeing it at Best Buy but after research, decided it was right for me. The picture on the TV is so clear. I also switched from cable to streaming and it's amazing the details which I can see. Another plus is that with my compatible Pixel cell phone, there are additional benefits such as showing my photos from phone onto the big screen with a simple command on phone.

    It's actually quite good for what it is. I didn't want an OLED high dollar newest tech TV. Just something to step up from the "4k tv from 5 years ago. Its fast, responsive, streams well from the PC.

    This TV fits my need for a 2nd TV perfectly. I had expected to use the DP/USB connection; now I wish I had another HDMI port. I don't have the need to deal with it. The TV has good audio by itself. I paired with with a Hisense sound bar

    Best 55" tv at this price

    I got the 55" to be my new pc display and it's an absolute winner. This thing looks almost as good as an OLED and it's way brighter, and the color accuracy is very very good when calibrated. Out of the box or needs some tweaking, but if you're not into editing photos or dealing with tasks thar require color accuracy, om the out of box settings are very decent. The built in speakers are fancier than most built ins but they're still outclassed by just about any soundbar you could attach.

    Love the crisp, vivid colors, picture settings that actually help (especially Sports and Video Games), and a sturdy stand that was easy to set up on our own. This TV is a welcome upgrade to our space.

    I know I am comparing it to a Panasonic plasma TV that was 12 years old but it is definitely a huge step up. Sound and Picture quality is greatly considering the price tag. I would recommend if this is your price range.

    What a huge upgrade from my old U8H. I'm impressed by how much the picture and audio quality has improved over these last few years. The quality control has also drastically improved compared to the previous Hisense TVs I've owned. I'm interested to see how long this model holds up under heavy use.

    The TV had a beautiful picture and exceptional sound. Unfortunately, it was a little too small for the intended space. We should have gone with the 65" model

    I chose this TV based on RTINGS review which showed it being a good choice for a bright room. I put this in my parent's living room which has large glass doors and windows. With peak brightness hitting up to 5500nits it has no issues with fighting reflections. I'm surprised by the local dimming zone performance and black levels. I used the beginning training room sequence in Tron Ares as a test. I'm used to my LG C1 OLED so I know how good black level contrast can look. It's awesome that we can get such good TVs for such low prices now.
