$698.00
+4 Deal Score

Amazon.com has 55" Hisense U8H 4K ULED Quantum HDR Smart TV (2022, 55U8H) on sale for $698 which is approximately $50 more than the most recent previous sale on this TV. However, it has been sold out everywhere for more than a week.

Shipping is free.

Currently Amazon says they will ship in 1 to 2 Months, but I personally expect them to see a restock sooner than that. The TV has also been going in and out of stock at Wal-Mart so you can also check there.

Not sure why you'd get a down vote for telling the truth. Great value, great TV, but definitely not a top gaming pic. I hope they can patch to fix the posterization and banding.

I think because of the price people don't want to hear the truth. :/ Just trying to help those out who may not know.

However, I don't agree with you that the price isn't slick. Sure it was $650 recently, but I don't know that they'll go that low again for some time now that they know what sort of banger they have on their hands. It's going to become the most talked about television of 2022, and now that it's in people's homes they can keep the price a bit higher; closer to their MSRP.

I agree with mostly everything you said, except that it won't go that low again. This TV is $699 everywhere. Pretty sure it won't go higher. If it was $650 briefly earlier, it will go down to that same price, sooner or later. I can see it going down to that price in the holiday season, or even at the early prime event next month.

I have last years 55U8G and still am amazed at the picture quality from both the on board streaming apps (most of them anyway) and also used with our Roku Ultra 4k and Sony UBP-X800 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray Player.

For anyone wanting a 4K TV for mainly streaming, watching sports from OTA antennas, and other input sources . . . . the Hisense both this year and last year models compare well and even exceed the performance of comparable Samsung, Sony and others. . . . and are $400 to $800 less.

I've owned four 4K TVs since 2015 from several brands and auditioned and returned at least 7 others of different models and brands. We now own a 2019 and 2021 Hisense. Both working fine and obviously improvements on the 2021, but excellent picture quality on both.
Generally the improvements from one year to the next is in the speed of the OS, contrast ratio/black levels, and other nuances.

The truth is. . . . there are always better TVs. but for the money . .. Hisense offers TV picture quality in the brightness, color gamut, deep blacks and sharp detail at $$$ less. Customer support is also generally top notch and has been. If you read the 4K LED forum sections for Samsung, Sony and LG TVs on AVS Forum for mid level TVs that would cost you $1,200 to $1,500 you will see that most also have issues with certain games and game system as well as not providing all that is advertised.

The technology advances yearly for 4K and now 8K TVs and ALL the TV makers are perhaps a bit too anxious to push out TVs that require firmware patches and better GPI processors that aren't stretched to provide what is advertised.

Also, getting an HDMI cable (8 foot length max passive) 8K HDMI 2.1 Certified Ultra HD 48Gbps High Speed 8K60 4K120 eARC RTX 3090 HDR10 4:4:4 HDCP 2.2 & 2.3 Dolby Compatible with Playstation 5/PS5, Xbox Series is important for use with any game system and TV.

Not just Hisense owners have game system issues. Often it is owners that do not understand the need for proper settings to match game system and TV as well as the needed HDMI cables.
Lastly, ALL mid priced TVs seem that they can have ARC and eARC issues with matching sound bars and TVs and support Dolby Atmos.
If you use a decent audio video receiver and even modest speakers, those sound issues are generally not any concern. Sound bars are not a substitute for a good home theater sound system and speakers with the exception of some $2,000 to $3,000 sound bar systems.

Last year, the 2021 55U8G went down to $650 several times, but only briefly for a day/week or even just hours including between Black Friday and Xmas.

Then Brandsmart had it for $650 for quite a few weeks after Xmas and into January 2022.
Many were able to price match it and even got a $100 BB gift card doing it.

But you had to watch every day and check SD every few hours.

I got mine during that time period price matching.

Good to know, thank you! I'll keep me eye out for the trusted reviewers to test and then probably pick this set up.

I grabbed one at Best Buy, stacked a few bonuses for using their card and rewards GC and got it out the door for $700 after tax. The patch was all I was waiting for and can confirm after several very unscientific hours of getting beaten and called names by my kids on the PS5.

From what I read the patch is a great improvement but there are still compromises and it's still not true 4k120 with local dimming. I can't seem to find anything besides some comments on internet forums though.
