Hisense 85" Class U8 Mini-LED ULED 4K UHD Google Smart TV (85U8QG, 2025 Model) - QLED, Native 165Hz, VRR 288, Up to LD5600, 5000 Nits, HDR10+, Dolby Vision IQ · Atmos, IMAX Enhanced, 4.1.2 Ch Audio

I have been a TV nerd for a while, owned flagship models from, Vizio, LG, Samsung, Sony. This is my 2nd time buying hisense, as I was very happy with my U8N. Dare I say I am impressed again. Performance is upgraded, software is more refined, no annoying bugs so far. Gsync works great, CEC switches inputs like magic without hiccups. Not much to ask so far but you would be surprised how many manufactures don't get the simple things right. The one I received has a perfect panel, 0 defects, no dead pixel, no uneven backlighting, screen looks uniform. I don't think you would be disappointed by the picture quality either, deep contrast vibrant colors, and it can get eye searingly bright. After having 5 different WOLEDs I learned my lesson not to buy another, they are fragile I keep getting dead pixels everywhere. with this mini LED TV you never have to worry about burn it , watch it or leave it on in the background to your hearts content. Connectivity wise, you get 3x HDMI 2.1 this year, if you have a more recent modern AV receiver, you could use the EARC port as a switch. If you use a PC, it even has a USB-C input that can take video signal 4K 165 HZ. I know! no one else does this. Got my on sale for 1k, a bit more expensive while on sale than last years model but I still think it's worth it.

If you’re looking to upgrade your home setup, the Hisense 75" Class U8 Mini-LED ULED 4K UHD Google Smart TV (75U8QG, 2025 Model) absolutely delivers. The picture quality is next-level, colors are vibrant, blacks are deep, and everything just feels incredibly sharp whether you’re watching sports, movies, or streaming shows with the family. What really surprised us is the sound. The built-in 4.1.2 channel audio with Dolby Atmos creates a full, immersive experience without needing to immediately invest in a soundbar. It fills the room in a way most TVs just don’t. With features like Mini-LED backlighting, QLED color, a super smooth 165Hz refresh rate (perfect for gaming), and support for Dolby Vision IQ and HDR10+, this TV checks every box. It’s fast, responsive, and the Google TV interface makes it easy for everyone in the house to jump into their favorite content. We genuinely love this TV, it’s become the centerpiece of our home and makes everything we watch feel like an experience.

Super clear picture and sound is better than my Samsung was, so no additional sound equipment. So one month later and I have not mastered settings but will soon sit down on you tube to set everything. Mean time a really bright colorful screen and software seems to be really good, Remote cast works remarkably better than my old Samsung also. So far I am satisfied for the money this seems like the best deal for a tv in 55-65 range. UPDATE" - After a few months it seems ok but Amazon prime software seems bad and I have to use firestick to watch Prime. There is no uninstall just update but still no go, reset tv and nothing worked. Not sure but power off router and tv for ten minutes and nothing. Anyway everything else is really good so I am happy.

This TV exceeded my expectations for quality of picture AND sound. Picture is extremely bright, and the sound is the best I've heard from a TV (even so, I installed a good sound bar). I have turned down the brightness twice, as even in a bright room, it pops. The only reason I don't give it 5 stars, is that I can't turn it on with the remote. It worked for a few days, then I spent hours on the phone with their AI "person" trying various fixes, including new batteries, taking out the batteries and reinstalling them, and finally resetting the TV (had to put back all my settings). This worked for a few times, and then the same thing. I finally stumbled on a fix: if I hold down the on button and say Turn on TV, it goes on !! Anyway the TV is wonderful, with a great picture and sound, and it has loads of smart functions and built in apps. Highly recommend, but watch out for the remote on function.

This is my 2nd Hisense tv. I had the U7 and decided to get a bigger and got the 65” U8. The speaker placement on this style is awesome, we don’t need a soundbar. The picture after tweaking it to our lighting led is amazing. Just as great as a much higher priced tv. I like Ike’s up on YouTube how to get the best quality picture. I have it mounted on our wall and with two people it was a breeze. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a great tv at a fraction of the cost of the more expensive brands.

The 65U8QG is a great TV, especially for the price. No need to repeat what others are saying about the great picture, but I did want to comment about the base assembly. The quick setup instructions have step by step illustrations to show what to do, but I didn't find them to be very clear until I understood how it was assembled. The stand consists of a heavy metal base and a TV mount that attaches to it. The back side of the mount must be removed to screw in four screws from above. The base is threaded to accept the screws. The back side of the mount doesn't appear to be removeable, but it is actually snapped into place along the top and must be pried open. Once that is done two more screws are located inside the base which are used on the back of the TV to locate it onto the stand. Once you know that the mount has a removable back cover, the instructions are easy to understand. At least that was how it went for me. Hopefully this will help you!

This Hisense U8 has been really nice so far, and it feels like a big upgrade if you care about picture quality. The first thing I noticed was how bright the screen gets. It looks great during the day, even with some light coming into the room, and I did not feel like I had to close every curtain just to see the picture clearly. Colors look really rich without looking too fake, and sports, movies, and games all look sharp. I watched a few darker shows on it too, and the black levels are much better than I expected. It does not have that washed out gray look that some TVs get in dark scenes. The 165Hz panel is a nice bonus, especially if you game. Motion looks smooth, and fast scenes do not feel blurry or messy. I tried it with streaming, regular TV, and gaming, and everything felt quick and clean. The menus are easy enough to get around, and setup was pretty simple. I also like that it has a clean looking stand and does not look cheap sitting on a TV stand. Sound is decent for built in TV speakers, but if you want that full movie sound, you will probably still want a soundbar. Also, like most modern TVs, there are a lot of picture settings, so it may take a little playing around to get it looking exactly how you like. Overall, I am really happy with it. The picture is bright, clear, colorful, and smooth, and it feels like a TV that works well for pretty much everything. Movies look great, sports look great, and gaming feels responsive. The small downsides are pretty normal ones, like reflections in a really bright room and the built in sound not replacing a good speaker setup. For the picture quality and features, this is a really solid TV.

The Hisense 65U8QG is an impressive TV on paper and, in many ways, in real-world use. Brightness is outstanding, Mini-LED local dimming is excellent, and overall image quality is fantastic when watching SDR, HDR, HDR10, and HDR10+ (a little dimmed but within expectations) content. Colors are vibrant, highlights pop, blacks are deep for an LED TV, and motion handling at 165Hz is great. For gaming and non–Dolby Vision content, this TV feels premium and easily competes above its price range. Unfortunately, Dolby Vision completely ruins the experience. When streaming Dolby Vision content, the image looks washed out, dim, flat, and lifeless. Blacks are lifted, contrast collapses, highlights lose impact, and the overall picture looks dull and “sad.” No amount of tweaking fixes it. This is extremely frustrating because it completely erases all the good this TV does with other formats. This becomes a deal-breaker because most major streaming services rely heavily on Dolby Vision. We primarily watch Disney+ and HBO Max, where most flagship movies and shows are streamed exclusively in Dolby Vision. On this TV, those titles are simply unwatchable, which defeats the purpose of owning a high-end HDR display. If you never plan to watch Dolby Vision, this TV is amazing and offers incredible value. But if you rely on streaming apps and expect Dolby Vision to look good, this TV has a serious limitation that directly affects what services you can realistically use with the native apps. Because Dolby Vision performance is unacceptable for our viewing habits, I will be returning the TV. It’s a shame, because without this issue, the U8QG would be an easy recommendation. Pros: •Excellent brightness and HDR impact •Fantastic SDR, HDR10, and HDR10+ performance •Great local dimming and motion handling •Strong value for the price Cons: •Dolby Vision looks washed out, dim, and flat •Major limitation for Disney+, HBO Max, and other DV-heavy services Final verdict: Amazing TV held back by a broken Dolby Vision experience.
