    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.

    When I first purchased the 85" U8 Hisense TV and turned it on, i was really disappointed after plugging in our fire stick TV and turning on a movie on netflix. Not only was the clarity terribly grainy, but it was also slow to respond. I spent the next day wiring my ethernet directly to this Tv and utilizing the google interface and all the apps through the TV. Holy cow! This TV transformed into an absolutely gorgeous picture, and all the movies that support dolby vision and HDR automatically play in the properly! This TV looks like it is oled for HALF the cost! Do yourself a favor and purchase this TV. Just make sure you set it up properly as not having it set up results in very bland video that will make you hate the setup. Worth EVERY penny!

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Its been almost two months since the purchase of Hisense 85inch. I got to say for 1800 hundred bucks not bad. Great picture, awesome brightness. The built in sound is really nice as well. The down side is the Menu. Good luck. Takes a few hours or days to figure it out. Not a bad but on sale.

    Hisense 85” U8 Series – Amazing TV for the Price!

    I’ve had the Hisense 85” U8 Series (2024) for a little over 6 months, and it’s absolutely fantastic. The Mini-LED + QLED display is super bright, with deep blacks and vibrant colors—movies and games look incredible! What I love: Stunning picture – 4K HDR is crisp and colorful Great for gaming – 120Hz, VRR, and no lag on PS5 Google TV is super easy – all my favorite apps built-in (Except for HBO) Sleek design – thin bezels, looks premium Minor Downside: Speakers are decent but its not an issue I was planning on installing a sound bar anyways. For the price, this TV feels high-end and delivers an awesome home theater experience. If you're considering it, Id recommend to buy.

    I would give this TV 4.5 stars if that was an option. The screen is of exceptional quality for this price, rivaling big brand TVs which cost $1000s more. 5 stars if you stop here. Where it falls short is the operating system implementation. It is buggy to say the least. My 4 year old Sony runs Google TV with much less issue. Apps often need to be force restarted just to function, and some apps never smooth out and stutter regardless. If you bring your own device or are ok with some hiccups, then you'll love this TV.

    This was 4th/5th Hisense TV and the quality as well as sound is superb, especially on the U8 series. We used to be dedicated to brands like Samsung, Sony, and LG; however, this tv gives you just as good of quality if not better and at a much easier price point. Definitely make the jump to this brand they have really perfected customer experience.

    Great TV at a great price. Extensive video and sound options, with Dolby vision and HDR 10. I had a problem with hooking up my soundbar, but it was quickly resolved by Best Buy. Seems I had the wrong HDMI cable. I highly recommend their brand and service, the 5 year warranty is one of the best around.

    OLED we have a problem.. and it’s called Hisense U8N mini LED with 3000 Nits display. This TV is amazing out of the box. Do a couple of adjusts to settings and it competes with Oled quality. Sound quality is amazing as well. Down to the back lite remote. Hisense did there research when making this Model. Well done

    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.
