Hisense U8 (U8QG) review

Hisense U8 (model U8QG) is Hisense's high-brightness Mini LED TV. Hisense lists MiniLED Pro with up to 5,000 nits peak brightness, the Hi-View AI Engine Pro processor, a native 165Hz panel and Anti-Reflection Pro, which together target bright rooms and fast games. It also has the most elaborate built-in audio on this list, with 4.1.2 multi-channel surround from 8 speaker units, so some buyers can skip a soundbar at first. Hisense still lists the U8QG on its What's New panel for 4K ULED TVs, and it runs Google TV. We could not confirm a current USD price: Hisense USA's product pages did not show one to our checker, so the price is marked pending and the value score is conservative. Compare its retail price against the TCL QM8L, which lists up to 6,000 nits for $999.99 at 65 inches. We compared documented features and published specifications only.
