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 Bought this in November alongside the LG C2 recently. Both at SD FP prices meaning $900 for this TV And then replaced it with the C2 around Superbowl time ( 6 weeks?) for about $1360 with both being 65" models.

The U8H was worlds better than my 55" TCL from ~5 years ago. No comparison there of course aside from the fact that my firetv cube didn't work too well with it. I'd have to manually use the Hisense remote to switch input instead of hitting the Cube remote or asking Alexa to switch input. I'm on the tech side of life so having spent 30 minutes frustrated me that this would never work properly. The remotes in our house disappear too easily. The LG does not have this problem and paired very easily with the same Cube. THE Magicremote of LG feels better.

The weight difference is very noticeable between the models. ~15 pounds or so doesn't seem significant but it does make for a very easy wall install for the LG.

The picture is phenomenal on the C2 compared to the U8H. It just is. Would I notice if not just using both TVs though? Perhaps not. My upgrade was such a wide gap that both were too significant from what we had.

The sound is noticeable better too on the C2 as I haven't even hooked my surround sound back up to the C2 as it rather adequate for the moment.

The LG channels have been a nice surprise and we do find ourselves using them for background noise or a quick go-to while we agree on what we actually want to watch.

Is it worth $420 more to jump on the C2? I think it was, but I'm fortunate to have the ability to do so after someone wanted to buy the U8H. I would be perfectly happy had I kept the U8H. They are both great TVs. If you use your TV more than 15 hours a week then perhaps go with the C2 otherwise the $ difference could impact your life better elsewhere IMO but you can't go wrong either way.

Well... the lowest net cost for this TV was $849.00 from Best Buy after a $100 rebate from Hisense last September, when the TV first became available. Otherwise, I believe the lowest price has been $900.

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).
So a pre 2016 television?
Even if one doesnt own one I think people would have seen one elsewhere and know the differences

Honestly...I think the Samsung QN90a is a better set than this Hisense U8H and the Samsung had been $1000 ish several times over the months in 2022

Yes...OLED is a different beast but for similar money I would have bought the Samsung QN90a

Yep that was the jump I made. 2016 Samsung basic 4K TV to 2021 Hisense U8G. I was initially blown away, but over time the various shortcomings that haven't been able to be fixed can get annoying.

Red ghosting, black smearing, motion issues, etc. These aren't present in every scenario, but enough that they are annoying. However when it's right, it has fantastic picture quality…it's just a mixed bag.

We're you able to compare side by side in person? I felt while the Samsung qn90a and qn90b were bright, there were lots of other things that steered me away from those models.

If you want brightness then yes the Samsung would be favored. I checked in store directly against the U8H and it did well on that end. The U8H had plenty of brightness for our needs and we actually had to dim it down. The darks of the U8H were adequate as well. Overall a good TV and the QN90 has stiff competition.

best Tv and bang for buck from last year. dolby vision content on this is stunning. as someone else mentioned, TV struggles upscaling content that is 720p and below. is that worth a 1k jump in price foe a samsung?

i said no and have had no regrets with the purchase.

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 https://static.slickdealscdn.com/ima...lies/frown.gif . 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 🙏
No matter if the technical question is simple or complicated, the best place to get an answer regarding the U8H is:

There might be uhd deep color setting that needs to be turned on for that particular hdmi port. Check the settings.

My comment was related to the pricing when the QN90a was available for $999
I stand by that opinion

A better Samsung such as the QN90a would have been your friend...when it was available for $999

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.

Yes sir the tuner thing is huge for me
