Hisense85-Inch Class U8 Series Mini-LED ULED 4K UHD Google Smart TV (85U8N, 2024 Model) - QLED, Dolby Vision IQ, Dolby Atmos, Full Array Local Dimming Pro, 144Hz Game Mode Pro, Alexa Compatibility

The Hisense U8 85” TV is a showstopper! With its massive screen and stunning picture quality, it delivers an immersive viewing experience that’s hard to beat. The Mini-LED technology ensures deep blacks and vibrant colors, while the high refresh rate makes motion look incredibly smooth—perfect for sports and gaming. The built-in sound system is surprisingly powerful, eliminating the need for external speakers in most cases. Plus, Hisense continues to impress with smart features and a user-friendly interface. If you’re looking for a top-tier TV without the astronomical price tag, the U8 is a phenomenal choice!

For the price around $800, this TV really packs a punch. Super bright HDR, great contrast and is very responsive. Plenty of options to tinker with for sound and video. Speaking of sound, the speakers are actually very decent for built in speakers with subs too. It would be nice to be able to debloat some of the built in apps, but it can sort of be done with adb commands if you're feeling up to the challenge. I was able to add it to home kit and google home with a little tinkering and overall I'm very happy with the experience I've had so far. Hopefully it last for 5-10 years!

The media could not be loaded. 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.

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.
