Customer Ratings & Reviews

I've had this tv for about a month now. The tv appears to be very well made, was packaged extremely well so it wasn't damaged during shipping and has many features you would only get with a more expensive model from a different manufacture. The picture is beautiful. The google operating system is very responsive and carries all the popular streaming apps. The sound is very good but I did install a Klipsch soundbar so I would have a more immersive sound experience. The tv is bright and overall very impressive. I looked at the Samsung RGB mini-led model as well but this offered more features for less money. So far I'm very happy with it and would recommend it. I did order it from Best Buy and scheduled the delivery online. Twice my delivery was cancelled due to a family emergency by the staff member. I decided to stop in the local Best Buy and pick it up there. The manager, Remington, was apologetic and did a nice job of accommodating my requests and going above and beyond.

Verdict. In the past, we aimed to buy TVs from a specific brand, and to buy the thinnest and biggest one possible. This led to very rare upgrades because of the cost. I have moved on from that brand, which has freed my mind to explore other TVs. And wow do we love the Hisense 85” UR8 TV… How long have I been missing out on better value for exceptional quality? This TV has everything I want… Size, picture quality, deep black, impressive sound, latest technology, ground breaking features, Google TV, and an exceptional value for what you get. This is the second Hisense TV we have own, but the other one is much smaller. I remember being impressed with the smaller one because of the experience (watching quality and user experience), but this takes it to another level. And… Watching the world cup on this thing has been vivid, smooth, and epic! Pro tip. I have installed every TV I have ever owned, to include many wall-mounted. TVs are now getting so big, that it’s at the limit of what my wife and I can install safely. If you are worried about the weight and size of this TV, pay for a professional installation. My wife and I carried this beast up the stairs and wall mounted it ourselves, but we will not do that again… It’s just too big and unwieldy. First impression. Wow… it’s big! This replaced a much older, but high-end, 70” TV from another brand, and I didn’t think I would notice that much difference, but we definitely do. I like the design of the screen edges; it looks thin from most view points and then bevels out in the back. The backlit remote with movement sensor is very nice; definitely a feature we didn’t have on our previous TV. Setup. This went from the box to wall-mounted, so I don’t know how the base install works. I have wall-mounted many TVs so I am very comfortable doing it, but this was very hard due to weight, size, and our age now. Besides the physical installations, Google sign-in was not smooth for me this time for some reason; the QR code process kept timing out at the import account settings step. I just set it up manually in the end. There are a lot of steps to go through… more than I can remember from any other TV, maybe 10 minutes for the software part. Functionality. While initial sign-in glitched, the rest was a breeze. Google TV is a game-changer for us; it’s just a faster and more powerful interface for us. The UX is very easy to use and smooth. All my sign-ons for apps where already loaded. I also love the feature to search across apps since we actually search on google where to stream something! Now we can do it across our apps. We also love “Hey Google” to do many things hands-free on the TV! While it works quite well, for some reason I can’t turn-on the TV with “Hey Google” (I can with the other Hisense) and I wish there was more AI built in so that I could ask questions to Gemini right from “Hey Google.” With this TV, we can also get free local channels with Freeplay; there is a FreeTV button on the remote… that’s really nice, thank you! The TV also has Hisense Channels, which looks like older content, but there is quite a lot there and it’s free! In the settings, you can setup Alexa on the TV through “My Brilliant Life”, but I don’t know what that is, so I will research before trying. Picture. The picture quality of this TV is world class. I can’t say enough about how impressed I am with the colors, the brightness, the deep blacks, the resolution, the refresh rate, and the powerful speakers. I am not well versed in TV technology, so I am not sure what makes the picture of this TV so good. I am guessing the RGB MiniLED, or perhaps that plus the combination of all the other features: AI Engine RGB, refresh rate, obsidian panel, Chromagic tech, IMAX Enhanced, HDR, Dolby Vision?? Unreal how much tech is in this TV. What I love: - Deep blacks with no reflection… unbelievably bright colors, details, and resolution - 180Hz refresh! That’s as good as my gaming monitor. - 4K, HDR, RGB MiniLED! Amazing! - We love the voice remote - The game bar is very cool; it has the features of nice gaming monitors… I didn’t even know TVs came with that! - 4x HDMIs (wow), including one eARC for sound systems - I love that it has an Ethernet connection and 2x USB connections - 2-year warranty - Powerful sound! Best I have heard in a TV, and so powerful that we are usually only at 15 to 17 on the volume level - It has Google Freeplay, so I can watch local channels for free! - There is a physical mic on/off button near the power button on the TV if you don’t want to talk to the TV and/or if you want more privacy What I don’t love: - Nothing really… It’s perfect so far, but if I have to put something down it’s my concern about the ambient light sensors. The TV is very bright, so I have not noticed any issues with auto dimming yet. However, I have had bad experiences in the past (with other brands) with ambient light sensors and auto dimming. I was not able to turn off this feature in the settings so I hope it does better than other implementations. No issues yet, but I really don’t like this feature Overall, this is hands-down the best TV we have ever owned or experienced. It outshines any competitor TV in my opinion. There is so much tech and so many features packed into the Hisense UR8 that value for features, value for quality, and value for size is remarkable. I most highly recommend this TV.

The TV had excellent color saturation and brightness. Very little if any Halo effect, very deep blacks, and minimal motion vlur. It is quite a bit less expensive than the competion. Overal I am satisfied with this deal.

If you were thinking about buying an oled for its rich and vibrant colors while also wanting or needing those inky blacks. I highly suggest you skip oled and try the new Hisense lineups of RGB mini led tvs. You will not believe what this tv can do, RGB is the future and the future is here. I’ve been into tech for over 30 years and I can tell you this is definitely the biggest jump in LCD based tvs I have ever seen. I have oled, yes it’s great but at what cost for an equivalent sized tv? Double at least and with RGB you get beautiful rich colors that are both deep but also brighter and just as vibrant. Deep blacks due to amazing processing and mini led technology. I have the U8 85 inch from last years model run from Hisense and I thought that tv was beautiful. This tv blows that one out of the water. Plenty bright without being overly bright for those sensitive to super bright TVs. While watching anything hdr or Dolby vision looks so saturated i sometimes watch YouTube videos showcasing the colors just for fun(see pics). Viewing angles are good as well. Though it’s an 85 so we all have a good center view. I like to watch older tv shows from the 90s and the upscaling is done very well. The built in speakers sound nice and balanced with several options to enhance dialogue and utilize Dolby atmos if interested. Bass on tv is solid but nothing amazing. Overall tv speakers get loud with very good vocal clarity but I’d recommend a soundbar either way. Google tv is the best OS and runs smoothly and fast. Remote is backlit and easy to see at night with every shortcut button you could want/need. Only thing I don’t like about the tv, is putting the tv stand onto the tv. It was very frustrating lol. But it’s fine after I got it done. It’s super heavy and sturdy. But again, read the reviews and watch YouTube videos and trust that this is the best tv you can get. Once you see it in person you will understand all the hype. I love this tv so much so I don’t watch tv on my 98inch as much anymore. That’s says a lot. Beautiful picture quality!

The picture is very good. Highly recommend. Only issue is Hisense listed double the dimming zones then it really has. So you will get blooming at times I bought it because they listed it with over 3456 dimming zone. It has half that and that's dishonest. I had some arc audio issue also. It's a very good tv, but coming from an OLED I wanted more dimming zones.

We’ve only had this TV for about three weeks, but so far we couldn’t be more impressed. It’s in a very well-lit room and the picture still looks fantastic, even during the day. The TV is really responsive, easy to use, and the AI features are actually pretty helpful for improving the picture depending on what we’re watching. Sports look especially good on it, which was important to us, and the 85-inch size really makes a difference. The picture is bright, clear, and detailed without having to constantly mess with the settings. So far, we’re extremely happy with the purchase. Our only regret is that we didn’t get an 85-inch TV sooner!

I had family over and the first question I got asked from a techy family member was "is that an OLED" This is replacing my 2020 Sony Bravia and I obviously know it's six years of technology updates but this has the wow factor. It is in a heavily sun lit room and the TV shines through with no issue. I currently have a C series OLED and a flagship G series from 2024 and this Hisense RGB is by far in the same caliber and add the price to the mix, this is a no brainer.

Great picture and brightness. Easy to set up and work with. Highly recommend to anyone

The clarity that this to the office is amazing. The picture makes it feel like you’re actually there. The movies are fun to watch during the day and during the night. We are happy with our purchase recommended to anybody looking for a brain.

Very impressed with picture quality and sound quality. Love the fact that I do not need additional speakers around the room. Also, liked the fact that the install was done by the Geek Squad professionals. Very knowledgeable. Thank you Best Buy for a wonderful system!

Over bright, did not sync well with Hisense Saturn HT sound system, Sound is very good for stock speakers. Alot of adjustments needed but biggest concern was bleeding of bright reds near white and shading the white very pink, and i mean concerning level of blooming. It does not look like something in the 3k range, maybe the 1k range

Coming from always purchasing Sony and Samsung televisions I was somewhat reluctant to buy a Hisense, but so far so impressed! Picture is amazing, gaming very fast and also the up conversion of lower quality content is actually really good! Don't expect much from the anti glare screen, it blocks a bit but not a lot. Highly recommend!

Great buy for the price, also must buy is the sound bar that you purchase with same brand tv

I would recommend this television to everyone. Please check it out

TV is great. Good colors in day and night conditions. Happy with purchase.

The size and clarity of the picture is awesome. I have an external antenna for if and when the internet goes down, so backup is watching open air TV channels a dn surprised it recognize the actual shows playing. did a good job picking all 68 channels.

I’ve been using this TV for a while and have had a good experience with it. The picture is bright and clear, apps load quickly, and it’s easy to navigate. Overall, a solid purchase.

The colors pop, I'm using it on a covered outside patio with lots of daylight. It performs flawlessly with lots of detail. The more i use it in AI picture mode the better the picture adjusts to the environment

I really recommend it, excellent image and sound quality

Wow what an amazing tv. Picture is perfect and bright!
