Uh...their scoring methodology is sus at best. I don't think they actually even watch any content on the tvs. Take for example the Sony x95k...When they first reviewed the tv they gave it a mediocre contrast score and the way they discussed the contrast was that it wasn't as good as you'd hope for with a high end LCD. Then they changed their scoring methodology a few months later and gave the x95k a terrific score and now all the sudden the contrast is excellent. I get that we need to change how we score things from time to time, but if you actually watched some content on the tv rather than just using test patterns there's no way you could have 2 completely contradictory evaluations of the contrast of a tv. I've also seen them describe tv diffeent tvs that they sscored the same exact way completely different than one another. LG OLED gets a "Great" grey uniformity description where the Sony gets "Just ok" with the same exact score. Their analysis is detailed, but it's not consistent.

You might consider learning a bit more about “reviews” and what they do to reach their conclusions. For example, the Hisense is absolutely a great value right out of the box…but after a few years that’s not the case. Cost of ownership over 5 years has increasingly seen Hisense owners have to fork out more money sooner to replace their short lived panels. This is not something rtings is currently talking about within its reviews. Maybe their longevity test will have an impact on this? But I doubt it.

She’s the best! Upbeat, knowledgeable, playful delivery of the stats and info. Keep up the good work! 👍🏻

We'll have that review out soon!

Thanks for watching!

They are more affordable than oled.

@@ericswanson9773 sure they are, and much more recyclable, durable and fixable.

The U8N 75" ADS Pro panel get extremely close, though.

@@MadViking82 ADS are getting excellent contrast ratio though, almost beating VA panels.

@@Valdaemonium Yeah, and who cares if the contrast is 200K:1 or 300K:1 in the end. What is more important is that the U8N 75" has the most zones in the U8N line up (2000) and thus should have very good blooming control despite the much lower native contrast. Rest of the stuff it provides are only positives, such as wide viewing angles, better response times and colors and it eliminates black smearing which the VA panels have. ADS Pro is the panel to go if you want to game and use Desktop with your TV, and don't want to worry about burn in. Plus, this TV is really cheap. I'd love to go for the U9N but they don't sell that where I live and at the same time, it is ugly as hell from the sides.

It got a 8 in color accuracy and with an average of only 3.5 de, most colors will be identical to the naked eye.

Hisense had --BUG issue evey year upon lunch . U8G had insane Tcon board mess up Pesterizarion , U8H has sever red ghosting , U8K had something else I forgot . They usually fix with software update within weeks at Incredibly speed . 😊 Yeah Quatum TV even uploaded new video saying new update made the 2021 U8G better ! 😊 same here my 2021 U8G still gotten worked on thru the 2.5 yrs each update it made image look better . My 2 Hisense U8 doesn’t have the Buggy issues . I have had both of them long enough to know they r quick n snappy . Usually they release a mid summer update then Sep/Oct after that when ppl buy them around Black Friday rarely run into anything .

Hope? More like cope

Dude once u go Hisense U8 , u can NOT go back to WOLED. My family (working in IT ) only buy high end Tech, Mac PRO with M chip, Ipad pro with M2 Chip, SONY Xm4 ear buds, iphone 15pros. BUT they only buy Hisense in terms of TV. Hisense U8N has --COLOR Volume Match Samsung S95C. Anything thats Bright needs MORE COLOR Density/volume than Black. Because as long as the enviroment is Bright, anything will be SEEN/knoledged by BRAIN 🧠 as Black. Like u turn lights on anything “black “ in your room is in fact dark grey, but your brain 🧠 tells you its Black. The SAme way that lights on the white wall in fact is grey, beige , but brain tells u its WHITE😅😮. Brain 🧠 does accesement over the environment to determine the Color. So our brain is biased. As tv gets Larger like 65” 75”, the image stretch OUT. The Color Volume make image more 3D, NOT black. Color volume n Brightness (both WOLED C3 C4 lack) make things more Contrast, 🥬 vs. 🧩. HIghway bill board look so Bright n vibrant because Color Volume, NOT black. U8N is goign to be a wow (its out of box prob on Vivid Mode, u prob need to change to STandard Mode n turn”Brightness” “Black level” down n “COLOR” up to look like OLED tho. )

@@Yoga_Tv_buying very cool, it’s being put where my LG OLED is, so it can go in the darker, more controlled basement and the big 3D plasma in the basement is going in the bedroom as long as I can find someone to help me carry it up 2 flights of stairs. Luckily I bought all the same wall mounts.

it uses an ADS-Pro panel, we bought one, so we'll be able to offer more insight once we test it and gather our own data!

We're nearly finished testing it, so we should have a review of it soon!

What are you talking about that was the U8N TV review​@daviddougher8637

@@daviddougher8637 Do you think the TCL Q7 has less DSE?

@@sector7676EVERY TV has DSE. I had $5000 Made in Japan 60” Tv had SIGNIFICANT DSE. It is a PREMIUM TV issue for over 14 years. A lot of ppl used to buy Direct LED suddently Upgrade to premium LED they though its a Brand thing its -ALL premium LED thing. DSE is caused by upon turning on, the back n local dimming off ,the back panel is not brightened , only front panel light up so u see the DSE. Once back panels Boost full brightness, 🔆 all the funny visuals Gone u see no issue. 95-98% panels if have ANY DSE will not effect real life viewing at all.

Good luck finding a u8k

Our experts are happy to answer any questions via our forums on our website! www.rtings.com/forums

I have the I8K and I have not experience any bug, except audio sync issues with ARC. After tons of experiments and not real help from Hisense, I have discovered that any issues can be resolved by doing ONE thing - press and HOLD the power button when you turn off the TV! This actually resets the software, while a quick press just turns the power off. I realized this once I thought about the fact that it is Google OS, and you are basically doing what you would do on your Android phone. My sync issues are a thing of the past!

@@HardCold-Alquan You shouldn't have to do a reset just to get things to work right. That's the point. Don't make excuses for them, it's not acceptable.

The issue of bugs seems to be remanant in Hisence TV's. I guess they put are their R&D into having the brightest tv on the market as this one being even too bright for good quality picture. The old Samsung approach. May be pleasing to the eyes in the showroom but not so great in reallife situations.

@@racineurr.8924 For sure.... Having to change TV modes every time I turn it on just to get Game Mode working right is a huge bummer. The Android TV in my H9F is laggy as hell too. It seems to be an ongoing issue with many Chinese companies... They don't seem to put the proper time/money into R&D, specially when it comes to the software side of things.

I have U8K. Software up to date, no issues.

Yeah it’s OPEN secret that BEST buy HATES Hisense . 😊😮 ex employee exposed , they have SCRIPT (forced by Management )about HOW trash talking Hisense TCl. N “make sure tv shut off , or unplugged from wall ,if on then no source food or set to look blown out “ “if ask for remote to change setting , clam can not find remote “ “if customer show interest , tell them bad quality control n processing .” 😮 Literally scripted .

Tv at diff size can be bit different i guess the S90C 83” are WOLED, but 77” is QD-OLED. The QN90C 50” n smaller are VA panel, but 55” n larger are ADS-PRO. Ppl sit close to 55”, prob dont need as bright as the 65” i guess :)

Do u notice Digital Trends’ “ Possitive Reviews” often have a LOT of mushy looking Images. IF he says “omg Hisense U8k Blooming control is next level , its very black” --matching with a dull foggy image. He will say :”Look at the SHINE on the Wall of Samsung S95C so impressive” -Matching with Agreesive BLINK . He will say “ the image on U8N is next level” --Matching with a Dull image again. IN Advertising, they play with Neuro Science brain 🧠 reaction. when Visual /conscious Mind do NOT match. It creats “conflict” which release cortisol/tress/BAD experience. Imaeine U show a pic of your best friend to a female :” MY Buddy is SO HOT , u need to date him”. When he’s like Sub 5. Or a Man has weird looking type woman fetish, n SHOWS off :” omg she is so hot!!!!🥵” at their buddy’s house. Ppl will 😮 vomit air . When repeat 4-5 negative emotion towards an Image , our brain 🧠 😮believes its BAD experience . It can bake in. (When woman get asulted in 1 house, get close to it, will still tiger the pain. Brain make relation to --Warn) so the woman will see the--HOUSE is danger, not the guy does the assault. SO Digital Trends Videos are VERY suspicious because he has been doing that TO Hisense n Samsung Flagship QD-OLED n QLED for a few yrs. I am not trash talking. Its VERY open known Advertising trick. Either d Person he hire has beef with HIsense/Samsung, that digital trends has no idea they are doing it himself. Or he just doesnt care.

which tcl? i think you're talking about 2022 tv's.

@@tradito No. Every single TCL tv lowers the resolution and disables sharpness as soon as you enable 120hz. I have last years model and it does that. Haven't seen this years model but I'm done buying TCL tvs. Even if they finally offer true 4k 120hz their lower resolution/streaming up conversion sucks

@@tradito All TCL tvs lower resolution when 120hz is enabled at 4k

It does 120hz plug in n play. :)

Yes tCL does that with pc Gamming . So the last year TCL is not good for PC 120hz . This year I think might have fixed it tho using diff chip

I agree . I walk pass centrual train union station in Toronto . N saw 😮the 110-120” business LED display like Wall/tV type of thing . The immediate real Life proportional visual n especially 😮Landscape look so particular 😮. I was thinking like wow , ppl got 77” oled have NO idea what they miss out on. Life size propotion landscape gives a 3D Theater 🎭 type visual .

Same I'm in the UK and will wait for the TCL C855 as it's got Google TV

Also here in India it uses Vidaa but still have brightness bugs in them and panels dont go bright above 500 nits (U7K)

@RTINGSdotcom thanks I appreciate it. I'm not sure if the 75 is better to spend a little more. And how are the colors on the 65 inches? I've heard they are pumey or flat in orange? But most reviews I see for the u8n state are fabulous. Also, have you tested the hisense soundbar ax5125h 5.1.2?

They've posted that they've purchased the 2024 QM8, so the review is coming soon.

Yeah the U9N will come out later. Then UX. U9N will be like SONY X93L VS X95L status

In this series, that's probably the 75", since that size uses an IPS panel instead of VA like the rest of the series.

@@traditoit’s ADS-pro . Quite different than IPS . ADS-Pro is more premium than VA . Has 2X contrast ratio of ADS. So let’s not call that IPS

ADS-pro . I am aiming got that one right now 😊

@@Yoga_Tv_buying curious tô see If contrast would be Nice too

@@thiagodelgado3128 it has 2X -Contrast Ratio of typical ADS. The Samsung last year QN90C has that same screen too. If u go to Bestbuy . Look for QN90C (that Samsung will NOT look as good as HIsense. Because it will have higher blooming than last year U8K). But u can see that Glossy elegant screen. I have seen last year U8K 75” . EVERYONE in the store zoomed in calling it OLED . The Guy right cross from U8K 75”, he was looking at SONY A95K 75”. Mistook me as employee came over to like ask me bunch questions lol 😝 it was hilarious. Cuz I was d ONLY customer there entire large store beside him lol. N he like got so confused that ADS-PRO panel looked like QD-OLED n he was going around circles vetting that Hisense U8K . Lol n comparing that to A95K n got more n more confused cuz I dont think he expect U8K could deliver an Image look like SONY flagship QD-OLED A95K 75” lol, but U8K was more bright n vibrant. Lol

That is quite unfortunate especially if you bring guests over frequently for sports or movie nights. The only thing you can really do to circumvent this (besides getting an OLED or waiting for newer LED models) is to buy the biggest screen size you can possibly afford and accommodate space for.

The SONYs do not have this issue - especially if you can get a X95/3L or a BRAVIA 7/9

@@danmks2 True, but Sony's Dolby Vision implementation is a bit odd. Which is a shame as their picture processing is legendary.

You can't have it both ways. The TV's with the best local dimming have worse viewing angles. It's always a tradeoff with mini led

@paulcox2447 I see you coping/fangirling so hard in every led tv comments section 🤣🤣 I have an oled myself but its just sad to see

It's because they use mediatek chipsets. They aren't cheap, they are the biggest manf on the market. They just haven't made a set with 4 hdmi ports that companies can buy. LG has 4 because they build their owns chip

@@paulcox2447 thanks!

Yesssssssssss!!!!!

Yeah dude U8K is like SONY X95L Level. If u pull X95L on Rtings. Then U8K on Rtings. On 2 separate internet browser side by side. EVERYTHING in line exact same level. Its crazy ppl dont know such tv existed.

U8K has 4X contrast ratio of SONY x90L. 2.5X contrast ratio of X93L. Ppl really do NOT know what they are missing out if they have not seen U8K in person 😅

Its not bad panel. Looking at U8K 165000:1 cotnrast ratio. 75000:1 native contrast. 2024 SONY Bravia7-100000:1 contrast Ratio, 5700:1 Native contrast. Sony X93L-72000:1 contrast ratio, 2150:1 patehtic native contrast. SONY X95K-100000:1 contrast ratio, 2015:1 Native contrast. Sony X95L--200000:1 contrast ratio, 5500:1 Native contrast. Thoes were ALLL the TOP panels last 2 yrs. U8K 55” will still be better than 98% of LEDS Lobally today. But U8N is more advanced than U8K, with Better Bloomig control, HIGHER color volume, Larger Memory/faster processor. Its INSANE value.

I went to Bestbuy last week. The U7K last year even look a LOT like (in between ) version of X90L n Bravia7. BB had U7K facing X90L n Bravia7. Lol. It was so Comical that a very budget U7K look better than X90L. I have seen U8K 55” in store last year when I was looking at 75” 55” U8k in person. I know what U8k 55” look like. OMG Its so nice, image very refined. COLOR Dense/Rich looks like QD-OLED. It LOOKS SIGNIFICANTLY 😮more Advanced than Matted Screen Bravia7, X90L, n (SEVERLY low native contrast soft image) x93L. WE do NOT put 8 cylinder Engine in Small light weight 2Door coup car. 🚗 the 55” so shrunken zoom in its UNNECESSARY to have OVER amount of LED (cost more, but customers expetct to pay little or same). --the same reason TCL Qm8 only come in 65”.

BUT in Costco in LARGE Quality , we are willing to pay MORE in BULK. So its MARKETINg principle--Never put FLAGSHIP in SMALLER CAR/TV….(kids size iphone)…consumers have a CAP in mind. They will ACTUALLY be MORE angry n UNappreciative of the LARGER size $$$$, because they are Used to get small for “cheap”now “just size up why so much more”!! In business Marketing:” if u put Highest tech in Small Models that u can ONLy charge X amount of low price, it has CONSUMERs Relate your BRAND as --CHEAP. “ AS Hisenes invest MILILLIONS $$$$ for NBA etc. They stil release 55” for their high end panels last a few yrs they are donig US a Favor.

@@paulcox2447 Thanks for the suggestion. I have almost no tolerance when it comes to ads in media products. For example, having a remote with a dedicated Netflix button is a huge nope. I would rather pay the money I'd "save" by buying a product with ads and data harvesting.

Yeah, would be great if they would mention that in the reviews. (+ information about if it's the exact same model in US/Europe and if there's a huge price difference because that's sometimes the case) Can't find it here in the Netherlands in any webshop.

Amazing. I went to Bestbuy, U7K looked SIGNIFICANTLY better than SONY X90L at near distance. Its comical ppl all praising x90L.

Agreed. I like interpolation and a low latency mode like Samsung has is a great improvement of it. I don't care about some artifact, but the low often over 100 ms of latency most interpolated modes on other brands have is a lot.
