    I have the option to try this TV out and let's say I am amazed. I am in firm belief that OLED displays are the most superior and while I'll take Mini LED over the traditional LED TVs I felt OLED was the way to go. But I'll say this mini LED can compete with OLED. Maybe not go head to head but it has characteristics that make it better. Price and brightness. This TV gets a peak brightness of 5000 nits and has up to 5000 dimming zones . The TV was easy to set up and I did it myself but it was somewhat hard alone. After watching some movies through the apps on the TV and playing some games on my PlayStation 5 I am amazed. It has a native 165 hz panel which is good for gaming .I also have my PC set up but haven't used it yet. But on my PS5 I was playing Call of duty and some rpgs I am quite happy with the performance of the TV. The screen is very bright with Dolby Vision support and the other HDR formats. I get those bright highlights you'll get with HDR and the high brightness of this TV.

    This set has awesome picture and color, with blacks coming in full, natural shades and the brightest colors captured with no blurring or pixelation. The TV handles motion smoothing like the best of them, with even images from low-quality sources getting a boost that really improves their viewability. Even if you turn the "soap opera effect" off, there is still excellent picture quality produced from older media. Colors are bright, rich, and distinct without feeling oversaturated, and even gaming looks great on this set. I actually really like Google TV, so I'm kind of biased in reviewing the internal software. It's fast, fluid, easy to navigate, has all the apps you need, and gets regular updates. Build quality seems decent, too. This isn't the sturdiest set in the world, but it feels more solid and durable than cheaper sets of the same size. The only two downsides are the sound quality and the viewing angles. I originally wanted to set the TV up somewhere where the picture wouldn't be the central focal point of the room, and that's when I first noticed some picture degradation if you're not looking directly at the set. This is kind of odd in answer this nice and well-appointed, but it's there nonetheless. The other slight negative is the sound quality. While you'll probably want to pair this with a nice professional speaker see setup, of you choose to use the built-in speakers you're going to be a bit disappointed. They're more than adequate, but they don't reproduce the sound spectrum with the same granularity as the display panel does the visual spectrum. They'll get you by, but don't expect anything fancy. All in all, a very nice set that competes well with other high end sets at this price point.

    The Hisense 55″ U8 Mini-LED TV delivers stunning picture quality — super bright HDR, vibrant colors, and deep blacks. The Google TV interface is smooth and intuitive, and the fast refresh rate makes it great for gaming. Excellent value for a high-performance TV.

    Generally pleased with it in that I don't have a problem with screen glare due to many nearby windows . One thing I am not terribly pleased with is people's faces tend to be distorted.

    Extremely disappointed

    The tv came with a part missing from the pedestal. After set up, color quality was inferior and inconsistent which is why I replaced with another Samsung. On line purchase and exchange has been a nightmare. I have contacted Best Buy 15 times and spent hours on hold as well as talking with employees who weren’t capable or willing to resolve my issue.
