Here is the RTings review [rtings.com] and Wirecutter [nytimes.com]

Your comment cannot be blank.

Featured Comments

These TVs, up to this point at least, always have issues. 4K120 gaming is an issue, banding & posterization are issues, etc. This set uses the same SOC as the 2021 U8G (which is also 8 bit FRC panel), so while they added mini LED tech to this U8H it still has some of the same issues.

Basically if you've never had an OLED or QLED, you'll tolerate the issues because the picture quality is a massive improvement in most cases. If you have experience with QLED/OLED you might find the issues unforgivable.

The U8K dropping this summer should have a different SOC so it will be interesting to see if some issues are mitigated or remain. Hisense is gonna be in a tough spot if QD-OLED moves closer in price…if I can get a QD-OLED for under $1500 I don't know that I'd buy a Hisense ULED/MiniLED for $1000 (even though they keep improving it).
I have an older "premium" Hisense - the H8G from late 2020. Picture quality is fantastic esp. for the price. My brother got the same model and neither of us have had any issues.

One thing to keep in mind though: do not expect any reasonable software update support. Mine is still stuck on the Feb 2021 android security patch. I reached out to their support to see if there was a later update that wasn't showing up OTA, and they sent me an update file timestamped Mar 2021 so I didn't even bother installing it.

That's about half a year of security update support from when it was released to market.

If you get this, I would recommended against connecting it to the internet and instead using a streaming box/stick that doesn't leave a hole in your network.
Any concerns that this isn't a true 10 inch panel and instead an 8 bit with FRC? I understand the reviews at sites like Rtings are great, but lots of user reviews out there showing issues with banding and posterization on this TV.

I have this TV, but I really need some quick tips, please. I do have a question about how to enable HDR on this TV? All my other TVs always automatically shift to HDR mode when a movie that is HDR capable is being played. Can somebody please give me a quick pointer on what I'm doing wrong? I stream from a brand new 4k Roku and still nothing Frown . The picture I have right now from this tv is very dull and dark if I'm being honest.

I apologize in advance for asking technical questions, I've dug around and tried to change settings but to no success.

Thanks in advance 🙏

The helpful comment is spot on. I used to own a Toshiba FirTV that is made by this POS company, and they never fix the Motion Processing issue. It is staying stuck at 120Hz and it is choppy to the unbearable point to enjoy anything.

U8k are around the corner..

In addition to twice as many local dimming zones, it now boasts up to 1500 nits brightness. Combined with its anti-glare and low reflection panel, this gives you the best picture quality, even in sunny rooms.

Other visual upgrades to this series include IMAX enhanced, FilmMaker mode, Dolby Vision IQ, Quantum Dot, Dolby Dark Detail, and HDR10+, anti-glare and low reflection panel, Wifi 6e, NEXTGEN TV ATSC 3.0 OTA tuner.

Quote from mikenew02 :
QLED and OLED are two completely different things. OLED does not rely on zones like QLED and mini LED

Totally aware of this. I'm saying people who are coming from TV tech pre QLED & OLED will love this TV in spite of its flaws….because they have nothing better to compare it to (an OLED or QLED that has better processing).

Bought a u6H about 6-7 months ago and was really unhappy with it. Hisense UI and software were buggy and laggy. Sold it for $350 on FB and bought a B2 which I'm really happy with. For slightly more, I think stepping up to an OLEDis a much better choice than these Hisense TVs which are nice on paper, but come with compromises.

Quote from raven70 :
I own the 55" U8H and it is outstanding on PS5 with VRR and amazing HDR and brightness. I mean leaps and bounds better than most, if not all, in this price class. I would recommend this TV for gamers first and foremost.

Only cons I would call out are:

- Crappy Android OS Smart TV features and recommend Apple TV or Roku or Fire or ANYTHING else
- Banding and posterization but I don't notice in most content, but it does show up

I really can't over emphasize how bright this TV is compared to most. I never put much stake in HDR prior, and in many games I would turn off and tune picture to better IMO. This TV is a game changer and games not previously played in HDR that re now look a whole next gen from what they are IMO. If the 65" is anything like the 55", I highly recommend.
Why would you want a locked down stripped OS instead of android os?

6 series can't compare to 8 series, not really fair to judge this TV based on your experience with 6 series. You get what you pay for even with more budget minded TVs.

They are introducing mini LED tech on ALL series in 2023, but there will still be distinct differences between 6/7/8 series.

Quote from sknick :
I think there was a deal when this first came out, $1000 with a $100 gift card. This is essentially the same price without the gift card. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong.
It dipped to $899 once along with the $100 gift card, so $799 for the 65inch before taxes. I bought mine in late October and was able to price match it to the dip and received the $100 gift card from Hisense 10 days ago. You had to wait 100 days for the promotion and had a 2 week period to get the rebate.

If you can't afford an OLED this is a very good tv from a budget manufacturer. However...Hisense has poor quality control over the years, and if you have to deal with support have the antacids ready.
There is a reason it is priced much less than the competition..

hdr on netflix or dv is way better on the u8h than lg b2. b2 is better for ota and sd/hd programming. i have a lg e8, lg b2 and hisense h9g. i returned the u8h because i watch a lot of ota and sd/hd programming but i do miss it when watching hdr and dv.

Because the Android OS TV implementation on this TV is just not that smart and actually a little slow. . .and smart people aren't as easily offended.

i suppose i forgot about the extremely brighter situations to overcome glare; it's a toss up on the viewing setting determining if you need the higher sustained peak brightness but even though it's 500nit peak for b2 then it's bright enough for bedroom

of course i don't do sports either for OTA or sdr so i don't have the use case to account for those

but screen size and display technology are getting really close which makes the choices even more difficult

This is one of the biggest knocks against smart TVs and I'm happy you mentioned this. Folks wonder why they should do an apple/roku/whatever vs what's built in. WELL....if what you typed is true, it means for 18+ months someone could easily compromise your TV, and potentially your entire network.

The streaming device has much more of an incentive to continuously update as Hisense is not in the android update game vs say Roku. They just wanna sell TVs.
