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.

Promises the moon, delivers a poo poo platter
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had high hopes for this television. I spent close to two years doing research on different TVs to replace my 2017 Samsung series 9. I landed on the U8N because of specs on paper. In reality this tv performs worse than some $500 TCL I have. The back light management is atrocious. No matter what you do the picture is either blown out and overexposed or too dark and grainy. If you feed this TV high quality 4K Dolby Vision content you might be OK with it but the reality is most content we watch is low bandwidth 720 P or 1080 P and this is where this TV falls flat on its face, the upscale processing is nonexistent most of the time it didn’t know what to do with colors if I only had one of these, I would chuck it up to being a bad set, but I purchased four and all four did the same thing if this TV was only six or $700 that I could understand the shortcomings, but this is advertised as the flagship for this brand. In the end, I spent less money on a Sony and got a way better product.

Posted .Hello Jehoida, Thank you for reviewing the Hisense 85U8N. This TV supports 4K upscaling. However, the upscaling procedure doesn't transform a lower resolution into a higher one; it's more of an approximation. Consequently, an image upscaled to fit the pixel count of a TV screen won't resemble an image originally filmed in 4K. If you require technical assistance, please reach out to our dedicated support team directly at 1-888-935-8880 or via email at Service@Hisense-usa.com so that we can promptly address and resolve the issue for you. Thanks again, Harley with the Hisense Support Team.
