    I purchased this after returning the 85inch Samsung QN90D. I was highly disappointed with the picture quality, brightness, black levels and overall functionality of the TV. For that to be Samsung's flagship 4K QLED TV it was a major letdown. I did some more research on looking for a TV that best suits my needs. I big on brightness and HDR effect and i a huge movie enthusiast. After watching some reviews i ended up picking this up and have been way more satisfied with this over the QN90D which was almost $1000 more. While this has it's short comings, I'm pleasured with all of the picture sittings you can change on this tv, the brightness is great. I keep hearing oled like black levels. However this is not true, its decent and only time i really see some decent black levels are from YT vids that are mastered for the consumer to be amazed. The Demo store mode content. Neither the less it far beat out the QN90D. I do wish this set had a bit better motion processing where it fails at in some areas. But the overall detail and pq is great. I dig the google os. Though i do hope they add 1 feature and a firmware update down the road. The first being an info button to where you can see the signal and the HDR format such as HDR10, Dolby Vision, or HDR10+. You can see this on the initial input change but after that, you cannot. Also, blu-ray content. Not the fault of the TV as I have noticed this on other high end TV's, the pq just seems horrible now days for 1080pcontent on disc or not. The upscaling of 1080p content just looks very mediocre and doesn't seem as great as TV's once made them look before. My first 4K TV the Samsung JS8500 upscaled 1080p content amazingly. This content looked as great as the actual 4K content. However, after purchasing many more TVs since 2015 then upscaling has just gotten worse and worse and worse. But other than that this is a great TV and steal for the price.

    I was coming from an 85 inch Samsung QN90A and wanted a TV with Google OS, Dolby Vision and more than one HDMI 2.1 ports and obviously better picture and for the most parts this Hisense delivers. Its much brighter, its HDR performance and contract are tremendous with picture looking almost 3D where there are many scenes you feel you can reach out and touch the characters on screen. When you feed it high quality 4k signal with Dolby Vision or HDR10, you will be a happy camper. Its just jaw dropping how clear, sharp and contrasty the picture is. I started to rewatch a lot of modern series and movies just to appreciate how the picture "pops" on this set. Mandalorian, Game of Thrones, Netfilx Atlas are some examples of shows that are just phenomenal looking on this and miles ahead of Samsung (which was a flagship 2021 mini-LED TV and still looks great). The black levels are ridiculously black and no noticeable blooming that I can tell. Having said that, this Hisense is not perfect. Its upscaling of 720p and 1080p content is not as sharp as my Samsung. I notice certain softness and a bit of pixelization in the backgrounds of dark scenes. Not horrible and I need to tinker with settings more, but not as good as Samsung. The viewing angles are not great but not horrible either (If you sit within 30 percent angle you will enjoy a great picture). Also I feel that gaming mode looked a bit better with Samsung, just a bit more sharp and saturated. Again, I need to play more with the settings and it could just be that I am used to "Samsung picture". God of War and MK1 looked great on Hisense and I like its game bar where you can pin the FPS counter in the corner of the screen. VRR up to 144hz worked real well. TV is a little thicker and heavier than my Samsung but that is due to it having a nice audio system which I didn't use as I connected it straight away to a soundbar. Also, Hisense has some software quirks that hopefully will be worked out. The one that bothers me the most is that it doesn't show the volume numbers when I press up and down on volume when its connected to my Samsung soundbar. It just shows a generic speaker icon with plus or minus blinking and I have to look as the soundbar itself to see the exact level of volume where I am at. Overall, I would give it 4.5 out of 5 with biggest issue being upscaling. But if you feed it mostly 4k and HDR signals you will be a happy camper! And the value of this TV at under $2500 (on sale) cannot be denied. Its easily going against other companies flagships that are DOUBLE or TRIPPLE the price like Bravia 9 and QN90D and even G4. Hisense brings high brightness and ridiculous contrast and excellent blooming control and while in some areas in might not be as good but if its 90% as good but 100% cheaper, I would call that a good deal.

    Wow for all Nit nerds this is the one to beat. The 4K content with Dolby Vision has never looked this detailed. I purchased the 85 version for 2k and there is nothing that comes close. Considered the the bravia 7 but after seeing both in person it wasn't worth the price difference. There is no blooming and very close to OLED black levels without the worry of screen burning, yes its still a thing. The biggest complaint from TV Snobs is the off angle viewing I have a fairly large living room and see the tv off angle and see some minimal differences but to a non videophile there is no difference. This is my first non sony television and the only worry is durability. Only time will tell but with a two year warranty on this model I do have piece of mind. My panel was flawless when conducting tests. My only complaint is having heavy speakers on a tv on this size is pointless, most people will add better sound so its a waste space and weight. I have a bright room and the brightness might still be a little to bright for certain people but the video options are great that quickly allow you bring down the brightness during the night.

    Works great as expected. The contrast and black levels are extremely good. Color accuracy is also excellent. Not much more you can ask for. Debated between the U8 and the B4 and ultimately went with the U8 and am very satisfied as the black levels are very close to OLED while still having excellent brightness.

    Awesome picture quality,sound. I come from LG oleds having owned 2 of them and this is by far the most that comes close to the blacks. Would recommend.

    Went back and forth deciding between this and the TCL Qm8 and Samsung qn90d. Couldnt be happier with my decision. Such a good value for the money. Oled-like inky blacks, beautiful vibrant colors, amazing response time for gaming. My main worry, upscaling for broacast sports has proven to be a non-issue. Motion handling is incredible. I dont see any judder at all when watching fast moving images at all. My second worry, upscaling low resolution feeds are handled very well. And as for off-angle viweing, it us a non-issue compared to 5 years ago. I watch from my kitchen at 45+ degrees with hardly any noticible picture fading. Dolby vision looks incredible when streaming movies from Netflix. Save yourself the money and worry and try this tv. Get the geek squad warranty and sleep well at night knowing you’ll have an awesome tv for many years to come.

    Black is black. I love watching widescreen on this because the top and bottom bars are invisible in a dark room. The color is intense, I didn’t even bother to do any calibration other than to turn off the fast motion. The backlighting is fantastic for the price point. Dolby Vision content is awesome. The interface is fast and responsive, and I love that I can search with my voice and that the remote is backlit. It also turns on like within one second (I may have set it to be that way.) I use an external sound system through HDMI ARC and then TV immediately made the sound incredible with clear vocals in my center channel and highly present front channels and powerful surround. I did nothing other than plug the cable in. My older TV was sending digital audio, but just was not like this.

    Best bang for your buck tv on the market! I did weeks of research to find the right one, as a photographer and videographer that has my work displayed on this tv I am so excited with the quality. No burn in like on oleds but with equal quality. Amazing contrast and black levels. And burn your eyes brightness!

    I like the TV as compared to OLED which is much more expensive. If you're picky, spend the money and go with LG OLED. It's def bright and the blacks still look great for a Mini LED. I haven't calibrated it but typically use my iPhone for comparison to get the colors as close as I can. PS5 looks great on 85". Worth the money if you can get it for around $1800 or save and go LG.

    TV has a great picture quality. The interface for this TV is a bit glitchy and sluggish, but for the price it’s not bad. I bought an Apple TV so if you’re doing the same it’s not noticeable and it’s really good. I have a LG CX and the black levels are as close as it gets to being OLED. I highly recommend it especially if you’re going for 85+ inch tv, cause oleds that size are over priced.
