Hisense's 100 inch U8K is a bright room focused 4K QLED set with strong black levels and brightness for the 65 inch version, though the 98 inch and 100 inch sizes may behave differently. The 2023 model is described as around 1500 nits with 144 hertz refresh, and the Google TV interface can feel slow enough that basic mode or an external streaming device is preferred. Free installation was advertised and later waived in some cases, with 0 percent financing and a Google smart thermostat promo attached. The main hesitation is value, since the jump over cheaper alternatives is seen as modest for the price.
Common Questions (5)
The U8K is described as highly rated for bright rooms, with the 2023 model cited at about 1500 nits and 144Hz. It is also a heavy set at 150+ lbs, so installation and handling matter.
The 2025 U8 is expected to bring around 5000 nits and 165Hz, while the 2023 U8K is cited at about 1500 nits and 144Hz. If you want the newer spec jump, waiting may make sense; if you want the current clearance price, the U8K is the cheaper buy.
The listing says free installation is included, but the checkout may not deduct it automatically. Best Buy service can waive the installation charge after contacting them.
For the 65-inch size, the U8K is described as having better black levels and brightness than the QM7K. The 98-inch and 100-inch versions can perform differently, so that comparison may not carry over exactly to the 100-inch model.
Yes. Google TV Basic Mode can turn the TV into a simpler, faster-booting setup without internet-dependent smart features, and an external smart device can be used instead of the built-in interface.

Must faster boot time, hope this helps others.

The google interface is known to be horrible for tracking you
Not worth 2X the price..if you ask me
It is somewhat better, but to my eyes $250-300..not $1500 better
It says it includes free installation.
Been waiting on this one to drop severely since December and it delivered. I don't think it'll last another step down but I could be wrong.
The u8 series is very highly rated for bright rooms, which we have one for our main TV room. We'll see if it actually delivers on that designation, if not we are okay eating $100 to have it picked up to be returned.
I would share the ratings as such but rtings recently paywalled all their scores. Great.
