Amazing TV for the Price!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

New Challenger to the Big Three Flagships
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Great Picture for a good price
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great picture. Good price. Easy setup with Google operating system, which is very quick with almost no input lag. It's very heavy, but feels stable on wall mount that attaches to two studs. Good sound. Incredibly bright, even in a bright room.

Hisense - 85" Class U8 Series
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had this TV just a little over 3 weeks. Watch several movies and sports. The picture is amazing, brightness is off the charts. For this price I don’t think you can buy a better overall picture. But, a few things I don’t like. The operating system is slow and lags quite a bit. I have youtubetv and watched the World Series in 4K and it was laggy and choppy almost as if the internet was slow but I have fast internet. I have since ditched the Google tv and put my Firetv 4K max and no more problems. The sound is decent for a flat screen. It was very heavy to get up on the wall. Overall I would buy again just for the amazing picture quality but would ad an external device over the built in system.

85U8N is Amazing!!!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This TV is no doubt living up to expectations! Loving it! Very comparable to my 77” S90C! Not seeing the issue with viewing angles as mentioned in RTINGS review. Have to be far off angle to notice it. TV is very, very bright!!! Had to turn down a notch during night. Was very well worth the money as was on the fence due to viewing angle concern but glad I did! Will see how holds up over time!

The Total Package
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Gave the 65" U8N a try and like a month later bought the 85" too. Phenomenal brightness, contrast, and color gamut. Also has a lot of higher end tech like Wifi 6, ATSC 3.0 Tuner, etc. Very happy with what Hisense has going here especially for the price.

Great budget TV
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall a great TV, I was debating this TV vs the 2025 U7 and this has a higher brightness. Great viewing angles and picture quality. I have this outside, so primarily for watching sports, etc under the covered patio. It's become a family favorite area over the few years old OLED TV's.

Hisense Better Than Believed
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great color, brightness and images. The 85” is very heavy though compared to other brands of same size. Feature I like is you’re able to turn off screen and still have audio play like music from YouTube or other services.

Best TV picture qualty
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.✅ You want a Mini-LED TV for its performance: Its peak brightness exceeds any TV around that price, and its color reproduction is as good as some of this year’s best TVs. ✅ You use Google devices and services: Google TV is smart and well-rounded, especially for those in Google’s ecosystem, and who already use services like Google Assistant. ✅ You want a TV with good sound: Audio performance is a lot like the HDR performance — it’s great. The U8N's 2.1.2 speaker system is plenty powerful for most medium-sized living rooms.

Pleased
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very impressive at this price point. Plenty of detailed reviews out there if you want to dig deeper. I have OLED TVs as well and they are great but this TV is VERY close in my opinion. And it is crazy bright! One negative...when you turn it all the way down or mute, it puts a stupid little symbol in the corner that does not go away! Hoping they fix it in a software update.

A perfect value
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.An overall great value. Near-oled performance, plenty of configurability, and suited well for both traditional content consumption and gaming. Capable of getting painfully bright while maintaining deep blacks while minimizing backlight bleed so often plaguing local dimming LCDs. Google TV is fairly smooth and snappy; a marked improvement from previous Hisense TVs I've used. While it won't perform quantatively as well as more expensive OLED displays in per-pixel light control, response times, or viewing angles, 95%+ of the time it's perceptually right there with the best TVs on the market, despite being roughly half the price. I highly recommend it for all use cases as, again, the value proposition on offer here is borderline-unmatched!

Simply amazing!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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!

Nice TV
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Nice TV
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Picture is great compared to what i upgraded from but still expected a little more. A bit laggy too when turning off, on or simply just scrolling. Its a good price for what you get in my opinion in the end. Also on the display in store it said it did not have apple airplay but it actually did. So big plus. Big and Bright for sure.

Fantastic Bright Room TV
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I picked this TV up over Black Friday at $1699. What a steal! This is one of rtings’ “best bright room TV’s”. I have a very large window directly across the room from my television, which I previously dealt with by purchasing blackout curtains. I’m happy to say that the brightness and reflection handling on this TV are sufficient to render my blackout curtains obsolete!

Good as Advertised
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.TV arrived in good condition. It's bright and colorful as advertised. One mounting screw was shallow making mounting a bit harder and less stable.
