Hisense 75-Inch Class U8 Series Mini-LED ULED 4K UHD Google Smart TV (75U8N) - QLED, Dolby Vision IQ, Dolby Atmos, Full Array Local Dimming Pro, 144Hz Game Mode Pro, Alexa Compatibility

I cannot believe how much I love this TV. As background, I bought a TLC from Amazon several months ago and hated it. Not only was it having issues working well with Google and Alexa, but I could never get the color right. It always looked off and meh. I returned it. I finally chose this one for Black Friday, and I cannot believe how much I love it. I have never owned a TV this beautiful in my life. The picture is glorious, it’s like being at the movies. Right out of the box, the picture was very good, excellent even. With some tweaks, it’s just perfect. I will say that reading the calibration suggestions online was pretty useless. It’s not like there’s that many settings, and what I found particularly nice was there were often three or four different options in each setting, each of which made the screen look better. (I opted for filmmaker mode, and just adjusted the brightness, color etc from there.) With the TLC I felt like every calibration option was subpar, nothing made the TV look better. I’m not a TV geek, so I can’t tell you about the blackness level. I CAN tell you that the color is outstanding, the clarity is outstanding, the brightness is outstanding, but it does get to be a little bright sometimes. Of all things, captions are too bright on Netflix. And while the TV itself lets you set the caption color to something less obnoxious, Netflix overrules, the TV caption settings, and only lets you do white or yellow, both of which are way too bright. Daylight scenes can be a bit much, light coming in through a window can be a bit too bright because it’s that bright of a TV. But that’s a small point. It’s simply an amazing tv. One word about the viewing angle, as I read a lot of TVs in this price range are terrible when viewed a little bit off to the side. I’m not noticing a decrease in viewing quality much at all, unlike with my TLC. So that’s a relief. I’m also enjoying the Google interface, seems to work fine, and plays well with YouTube TV, Prime video and Netflix. And it was super easy to set up. Following the instructions to put the stand on the TV was living hell, as there are picture-only instructions like IKEA! Just awful. And the TV is pretty heavy, so you’re gonna need somebody’s help putting it on the stand. But again, those are minor issues. This is the most beautiful TV I have ever owned, and the quality of the picture looks like those crazy pictures you see on display room floor, and know it’s never going to look like that at home. With this TV, it does. One final point, I’m really not understanding why this only has four out of five stars here. The professional reviewers love it (Tom’s, Rtings). It makes me wonder if some people are receiving a TV that substandard. Meaning, if with a few tweaks, this thing is not glorious, consider returning it for another one. I simply can’t express sufficiently in words how glorious this TV is. It was worth every penny (I got it for $890).

Owing to the endless debate regarding image quality of the 75 inch (ADS pro IPS panel) vs other models having VA panel (55, 65, and 85 inch models), I had to purchase both, a 75-inch and 85-inch models to compare them by myself side-to-side so as to cut this long story short! I have to admit that I was pretty impressed by the outstanding image quality of the 75 inch model and its extremely deep black contrast. Here’s my opinion after the comparison: - The colors on the 75-inch model were more saturated, natural, and incredibly vibrant when compared to the 85-inch. I did not need to change any setting of the TV out of the box. The image actually looked like it is about to come out of the TV on the 75 inch. (Check photos) - The colors looked significantly paler on the 85-inch panel and the brightness was considerably inferior as compared to the 75-inch model (check photos). - It was very evident that white images or text appeared to have a rather pinkish or reddish hue on the 85-inch which was very annoying and straining to my eyes. I tried to play with few settings as color temperature, intensity, or gamut to correct it but I couldn't. (Check photos). - The black colors were extremely deep on both and I could not appreciate any difference between the depth of the blacks on both panels which was extremely important to me to decide which one I’ll pick at the end. In my opinion, the assumptions made by few reviewers regarding the “inferiority” of the 75-inch IPS panel compared to 85-inch VA panel were not that appreciable at all by naked eyes. I did not - at any instance - observe any degree of significant difference. - The 10-inch difference between both models, however, was strangely significant in terms of magnification which was a credit for the 85-inch panel. - The built-in speakers and subwoofer on both models are magnificent despite being a bit louder and deeper on the 85-inch model (60 watt vs 40 watt on the 75 inch, I guess). However, this was not an issue for me as I already have a home theater system. At the end of the day, I made my mind and picked the 75-inch and had to return the 85 inch one. I am extremely impressed and very well satisfied with the image quality, color vibrance and accuracy, and the extremely deep black contrats on it. This is added to the cleanliness of white colors on it being devoid of any pink or red hues as was seen on the 85-inch.

Four years ago, I bought the greatest television ever made by human hands: The Hisense U8G. Last month, it finally started to have backlight stain, so I bought its great grandchild: the U8N. This continues to be the greatest TV ever. It does everything the U8G did, and fixes a ton of issues I had with the old one. Hilariously, despite 3 generations of product development, almost all of the improvements are in software, not hardware. In fact, literally the only hardware benefits on the TV itself are that there's less (not zero) black smearing, and that pizza boxes fit better under it. Oh, and it supports 144Hz instead of 120 but to be honest with you I can't tell the difference between 90 and 120, so I definitely don't care about going from 120 to 144. The most noticeable upgrade is that it no longer has the bug that causes audio cutouts every couple hours when displaying a 4k120Hz signal. YouTube got three notable improvements: speed control works now, as does the voice search button. Also, there was a bug on the old TV that would forcibly enable frame interpolation every time you PIP a video, which happens whenever you open up the menu or description on a YouTube video. That now no longer happens, which is really nice. Casting to the TV got several improvements. First and foremost, they finally added a bluetooth receiver app. This lets you use the TV as a bluetooth speaker, which is the final nail in the coffin for "can my guest play this rando audio from that rando device on my nice speakers". And the implementation is plush: the app gives you artist/song names, play/pause/skip/back, several nice audio visualizers, and a dedicated "screen off" button. They also included a native (Apple branded, even) AirPlay receiver app, which works perfectly out of the box and obsoletes the third party one I was using. It comes with all the trimmings, too. The volume buttons on my Mac control the TV volume directly while streaming to it, and the TV remote controls whatever is playing on my Mac. When streaming audio, you get now-playing info (album art, title, and artist) on the TV, though you can't background it, which is unfortunate. When streaming a video directly, you get a progress bar overlay. The lip sync even works when watching a YouTube video on my laptop but streaming the audio to the TV, very impressive. It's a shame this isn't in the Play store for every Android TV to use, Hisense must have paid Apple a pretty penny for the privilege. Chromecasting is more reliable, as is the connection to bluetooth peripherals such as mice. Steam Link no longer requires disabling GPU compositing for low latency, it just works out of the box. Tragically, despite the display supporting 4k, 144Hz, the poor little video decompressor in the onboard GPU can't handle more than 4k 60fps content, so no high refresh rate game streaming. In more incredible news, the volume overlay is on the right, so it no longer blocks subtitles! Same with the Google Assistant overlay, although the new version puts a completely unnecessary gray filter over the whole screen. Total overkill, just use the space that's actually displaying content, you goofballs. And finally, a perk that applies to me and only me: I like to read books on my TV, using a sideloaded Google Play Books app. They enabled dark mode and a wildly more d-pad navigable layout. Super cushy, I can now browse, download, and read any book in my library with just my TV remote. It's glorious. Speaking of the remote, it's also had a number of improvements. The backlight actually works, and turns on whenever you pick up the remote, without having to hit a button first. The "find my remote" beeper is significantly louder too, and the remote no longer has a rounded bottom, so it doesn't have a tendency to rock back and forth every time you bump the table. That said, it's still not completely perfect. The viewing angles are... bad. The color temperature of the display changes noticeably off-axis. It never inverts, but I wouldn't recommend this for your living room TV, there's about 3 good seats, everyone else gets a noticeably worse image. For me, in my bedroom, there are only 3 seats anyway. Also, the nav ring on the remote is a godawful machined aluminum texture that looks great in sizzle reels but feels like ass in real life. I've covered it in clear nail polish, which solves it nicely.

Order fulfillment and delivery were a disaster. This 85" TV was supposed to be in-stock (the 75" was advertised as a 2 month delay) so I chose the 85" over the 75". I would bore you if I fully described the hours I wasted on the phone/chat with Amazon Customer Service concerning multiple ordering issues & shipping delays pushing delivery out 3 weeks. Amazon kept "promising" me a new date and kept letting me down with one excuse after another. Might not sound like a big deal but keep in mind this TV is HUGE and HEAVY and you must be home when it is delivered. If you work from home, good for you. If you don't, then you might want to have 3-4 extra vacation days to spend sitting at home twiddling your fingers until you find out the TV won't be delivered . . . again. DELIVERY: Like I said, huge and heavy. The box had all kinds of holes and dents. The back of the TV set was slightly damaged by whatever poked the biggest hole (forklift maybe?). It was cosmetic but disappointing for a new (and expensive) appliance. The delivery team can only offer that it wasn't their fault and left. I signed the delivery "Box Damaged". Also, the box was so filthy that it left black marks all over our new carpet. SETUP: Missing parts! More on that later. There's no way one-person or two weak people could handle. Need LOTS of space to open this box up. It opens like a door and I'll bet it's 15ft long when fully opened. You need to keep the box for the entire return window (30 days) so better plan on some storage space (folds back to approx 12"Wx 7L'x 5'H. Hisense Customer Service: Worse than my treatment from Amazon? Yes. We called their CS because the bolts for the TV stand were missing. After seemingly endless prompts and worthless AI problem solvers, we got a live agent that told us they would not send us any bolts until we gave them the TV serial number at the bottom of the TV. I informed there is NO WAY to see the serial number unless I completely unbox the TV by laying it down flat on the floor. Remember, this TV is HUGE. Best case scenario is they send us bolts (who knows how long that takes) and we either leave this TV in the middle of the floor for that long or try to lift it back up and rebox it? The CS agent basically told us "tough luck". No serial number, no bolts! Those bolts are probably worth pennies. Terrible. I had to go to the hardware store and get my own. The TV itself? Sorry, I hate to give bad reviews when the actual TV is this nice. So far, I love it. I don't need a soundbar and don't understand why anyone would think the interface is slow. I find it very fast and intuitive. Love the remote too. If you read one star reviews (like I do) then I hope I helped by getting one message clear: Ask Best Buy to price match (they will) and bite the bullet on delivery. Amazon was a nightmare.

Simply amazing. I have had Sony and Samsung TVs in the past. I was debating between this TV and Sony's Mini LED which was on Sale for $500 more than this TV. I opted for this TV, mostly because of the nits and the Included Sub Woofer.. Pros: 1- Amazing sound, no need for a sound system or sound bar for majority of content. For HDR movies with action, I use my sound system. The sound quality is not as good as a sound system, however, it is almost as good as most sound bars! 2- The picture quality is unmatched, although it is an 8 bit+FRC panel and not a native 10 bit panel, I cannot tell the difference. True 10 bit would be a good spec to have though. Local dimming is flawless, and fantastic. I have never seen whiter whites and blacker blacks on any monitor or TV, including OLEDs. 3- The ergonomics of the TV and the stand, and packaging. Easy to unbox and install very smart design all around. Cons: 1- The Android TV OS (Hisense's port) on this TV is a little laggy. Probably due to the low end processor that runs it, and nub developers who ported it. It is most obvious by the volume indicator delay. 2- The Ethernet speed is 100Mb, in this day and age it should be at min. 1Gb! Overall, a very good TV, and Hisense is on a path to be big competition for the likes of Sony. Someday Chinese manufacturers will learn not to cut corners (cheap panel, and processor) when they build high end products. The TV at $900 on sale is a good deal, at MSRP of $1499 is a non-starter.

I’ve had the 55” model TV for about a month now, and I can say that I’m almost entirely impressed. I’d recommend it to anyone who’s seeking a great viewing experience but doesn’t want to pay OLED prices. Before purchasing this TV, I was looking at lower end OLED models, but I wasn’t happy about the low brightness levels and prices. I also was concerned about burn in. This TV struck a great balance point for me. The price point is much lower than OLEDs, and the viewing experience is 90% as good, at least for a normal viewer like me. Pros: Beautiful color range, impressive brightness (advertised 1800 nit for 55”), and contrast that’s almost unbelievably good for a non-OLED panel. High quality Dolby and SDR content both look stunning. The TV pairs seamlessly with my Apple TV. I’m super impressed! Cons: - To get great picture, you’ll have to spend a good amount of time tweaking the image settings. The review on the RTINGS website has a great setup guide. The default picture settings are underwhelming, in my opinion. - Another con is that in some SDR videos (e.g., on YouTube), you can see posterization. Hopefully Hisense will make a software update to help fix this. - The viewing angle is awful. We only watch TV from a straight-on view, but beware that the picture quality drops harshly if viewed from too sharp of an angle. My overall experience rating: 9/10 My “objective” rating given the price and limitations: 8.5/10 Good luck!

I ordered the 85 inch Hisense U8N TV, with the “free” placement and removal of boxing addition. Both exceeded expectations. On the TV, I had done a lot of research about a new 85 inch TV to replace my 2019 75 inch Samsung. Hisense’s 2024 U8N was pretty much at the top of the list for high-end quality at a reasonable (lower end?) price point. Right out of the box, its brightness and contrast were exceptional, and the built-in speakers were pretty darn good as well. (I did hook it up to an inexpensive 3.1.2 Hisense soundbar that does stuff such as Dolby Atmos, which is really good in its own right.) I followed a number of suggestions for tweaking the picture I had read about on-line (setting “Filmmaker” as the default picture mode—which also disables Hisense’s form of motion smoothing—turning off Active Contrast, Super Resolution, and the like), and the picture is awesome. Perhaps you can still get darker blacks with OLED, but this U8N is pushing it pretty close. The most common negative I hear about mini-LED TVs such as this Hisense is that the picture brightness/contrast drops off significantly as one gets 30 degrees or so to the side of the TV. Our setup has all of us within 15 or 20 degrees, and there is no noticeable degradation in the picture quality. At its price point, at least still in mid 2025, I am confident in thinking that it is hard to beat.

TV was delivered by a two man crew and was carried to the back of the house and put in the basement where I stay. 65 in TV on a 57 in cabinet. TV is heavy with the base adding a substantial weight to the unit. No worries of tipping. Two options for the base low to you cabinet or high for your sound bar if your using one. I cannot comment on the sound of the TV speakers as I'm hooked up to a Denon AVR receiver. The remote feels good in the hand and has some heft to it. Doesn't feel cheap even though it's made of plastic to look metal. The TV has a 1/4 in bezel which adds to the clean look. Hook up was straight forward plug in your cables run through the setup and your good to go. I purchased this because of the gaming options on a 65in and you won't be disappointed with your options. Games look and run amazing. Movies look great and the 1080p movies I have look great as they are upscaled as for the 4k movies it's night and day from the Vizio I had. You have several picture settings to choose from for your video you're viewing that you can tweak to your likeing. The screen is bight but as you can see it still shows some reflections when you have a window in front of the TV. Color vivid and distinct throughout the picture. Now I know what the mean by deep black. The only setting I have changed is the brightness for night time viewing. As stated this TV does all it claims I look forward to a year and longer of how well it holds up over time .
