"Absolutely Stunning – The U8 Series Sets a New Standard!" I’ve been a tech enthusiast for years, and I can confidently say that the 2025 Hisense 65" U8 Series Mini-LED QLED is a total game-changer. Right out of the box, the build quality feels premium and solid, with an ultra-slim bezel design that adds a sleek, modern touch to my living room. What truly blew me away is the picture quality – it’s absolutely stunning. The combination of Mini-LED and QLED technology creates incredibly vivid colors, inky blacks, and dazzling highlights, especially with HDR10+ and Dolby Vision support. Watching 4K content feels immersive and cinematic. Whether it’s action-packed movies or nature documentaries, the detail and color accuracy are phenomenal. The brightness levels on this TV are next-level – perfect for both dark and bright rooms. And thanks to the high refresh rate (144Hz), fast-paced sports and gaming are buttery smooth with virtually no motion blur. As for the smart features, the Google TV interface is fast, intuitive, and packed with content. Voice search with Google Assistant is responsive and makes navigating super easy. It seamlessly connects to all my smart home devices as well. The built-in sound system with Dolby Atmos also deserves a shoutout. It’s surprisingly powerful with rich, clear audio – I didn’t even feel the need to hook up my soundbar immediately. Overall, Hisense has outdone themselves with the 2025 U8 Series. It delivers flagship-level performance at a far more accessible price point. If you’re looking for a high-end TV that excels in every department – picture, audio, smart features, and gaming – this is hands down one of the best choices out there. Highly recommended!

"This TV is fantastic." This is the thought that's been running through my head most of this week as I sit down to relax for the evening. I've written reviews for a lot of TVs at this point and, truth be told, most are positive for the simple reason that it's gotten pretty easy to produce an experience that most would consider acceptable. But in the time I've spent with it so far the U8 has genuinely impressed me in so many ways - going above and beyond what I've come to expect from the brand. First, somewhat predictably, is the picture quality. Hisense has been making waves for a while for figuring out clever ways to improve the performance of LCD panels to get them a bit closer to OLED, and they've pulled out all the stops here. Active dimming, quantum dots, and a beautiful glossy finish all come together to produce a vibrant and colorful image that makes HDR content absolutely pop. And they've paired it with a straightforward and easy to use interface letting you fine tune the settings to meet your exact preferences (something that has historically been a bit hit or miss due the brand.) And if that were all the U8 offered, I'd be perfectly fine giving it my recommendation. But what really makes it stand out are all the secondary perks. The U8 comes with a host of secondary features that read like a wish list of things I wish more manufacturers would pay attention to - starting with built in support for variable refresh rate input via a DisplayPort interface handily placed on the side where it's a bit more accessible than the rear mounted HDMI and audio ports. Gaming on this TV with my PC looks and feels better than anything else I've tried by a wide margin. And as if that weren't enough they even gave it a surprisingly decent sound system. The (admittedly somewhat chunky) case has enough room for a surround sound system of sorts complete with a subwoofer. While I can't say it really competes with a dedicated surround setup in terms of quality or immersion, it certainly beats most cheap soundbars and sets it apart as one of few TVs where external sound doesn't feel like a necessity. There are a few downsides that some might find off-putting. To start, it's definitely not a subtle design. Personally I don't mind a larger case if it means getting better performance, but I know a lot of people prefer TVs to be nearly invisible when not in use and this will definitely never be that. It's thick and unashamed about it, with a very on-brand chunky pedestal base to match. Which segues into my next observation: the install process was a bear. This thing is tremendously heavy and getting it set up and into position with just two people resulted in a lot of pinched fingers. What's more it's quite picky. When I first started it up I was using the same HDMI cables I'd used for years with my old TV and the combination of MAT sound and HDR brought them to their knees almost immediately, resulting in frequent audio dropouts and visual glitches until I replaced then with ones that had more bandwidth (pinching my fingers a second time.) So, for many, this may not be a drop in replacement so much as the centerpiece for a whole rebuild of their home theater. Still... This TV is fantastic. It's an easy recommendation to anyone with the space to spare.

Great picture quality. It is very bright. If you have a room with bright light, this is the tv for you. Good for gaming. Price is good too.

Amazing picture quality with great audio. Almost looks like an OLED
