About this deal

As I am removing the plastic you realise that the screen has almost no bezel and the screen seems to float over it. Yes - this television contains lead only in certain parts or components,in accordance with existing exemption clauses under the RoHS Directive. As feared, Hisense’s decision to use an IPS type of panel inside the 65U8HQ prevents it from achieving the high-value hero status it might otherwise have attained.

The Hisense U8G is a 4K TV that supports high dynamic range ( HDR) content in Dolby Vision, HDR10, HDR10+, and hybrid log gamma (HLG). It has a 120Hz refresh rate and supports automatic low latency mode (ALLM), variable refresh rate (VRR), and AMD FreeSync. The good news is that with bright content the 65U8HQ is pretty much a different TV. Here, for instance, you get to really enjoy the set’s formidable brightness, which is up there with the best LCD TVs we’ve seen from the likes of Sony and Samsung. All this brightness helps its pictures hold up nicely against the sort of fairly bright room conditions most of us most often watch TV in.

AppNexus sets the anj cookie that contains data stating whether a cookie ID is synced with partners. Built into the U8G is a special anti-glare film as well. As mentioned previously, the U8G is probably the most well-rounded television from Hisense feature-wise, but the excellent picture quality is the main draw. Buy It Direct Ltd is a limited company registered in England. Registered number 04171412. Registered office: Unit A Trident Business Park, Leeds Road, Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, HD2 1UA. I’m less confident with its HDR10+ performance, however. A HDR10+ stream of 1917 on Prime Video looks close to – but less refined – than its disc-based counterpart. The 65U8HQ’s colours can look great from time to time, too. Especially with Dolby Vision sources, the extra scene by scene metadata seemingly helps to bring the best out of the 65U8HQ’s Quantum Dot system, delivering a winning mix for the set’s money of tonal balance and vibrancy. While some bright content holds up well outside the Dolby Vision world, though, some tones can look a touch flat without the Dolby Vision ‘help’, while relatively warm presets such as the Filmmaker Mode can look a touch jaundiced.

Most of the motion processing settings generate some of the weirdest-looking movement we’ve seen with 24fps films, as at times – especially for a moment directly after cuts – the image can stutter and judder like old celluloid running through a projector that’s about to break down. Sound, not so much. The surround sound depends on how you locate the TV I assume. Mine is in a corner and the sound of talking is suppressed somewhat so you need to increase the volume. A soundbar is so much better, unless you don't actually have one so cost restrictions, look in the settings and take a little time to perfect your choices.

The 65U8QF has a few flaws, and that will affect anyone after a set for more critical viewing. Best to watch on this set during the day than at night. The party scenes in The Great Gatsby also look impressive on the U8G. White shirts and lights stand out, while the cuts of dark suits the and textures of dark hair are still visible without appearing washed out. Throughout the many high-contrast scenes in the film, skin tones look natural and nicely saturated. Hisense U8G Gaming Performance Watching football with the Sports mode, it comes across like an amorphous blob, the fake crowd noise not helping the overall flatness to the point where it’s difficult to decipher everything the commentators are saying. Their voices rarely sit above the crowd noises. It does, at least, refrain from harsh or shrill tones. Smart Services are intended for use by persons sixteen (16) years of age or older. If you are not at least sixteen (16) years of age or older or are legally, or otherwise, restricted from using the Smart Services, please discontinue using the Smart Services immediately.

Any use of any Smart Services by any individuals not of such age shall be considered a violation of this EULA. The use of any portion of the Smart Services is restricted solely to personal use and no other uses are permitted.Color performance is downright fantastic. The above chart shows color measurements using an SDR signal compared with Rec.709 broadcast standard color values, and using an HDR10 signal compared with DCI-P3 digital cinema color values, both using the Theater Day picture mode. In both cases, the U8G covers the respective color spaces with impressive accuracy out of the box. Only one color deviated significantly from its ideal levels, with magenta leaning quite red with an HDR10 signal, but all primary colors hit their marks nearly perfectly. The Viewing Experience Where to start with this larger model? Build quality is just as solid as the 55-inch set, the bezel is slim enough to have minimal impact on the screen, and the V-shaped pedestal has a bigger footprint – even more so at this size. To the extent permitted by law, this EULA shall be governed by the laws of the Germany and by accepting this EULA, and by your use of the Smart Services, you are agreeing that such EULA and all other aspects of the Smart Services will be construed in all respects in accordance with the laws of the Germany, and you agree to submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Dusseldorf, Germany. We test every TV we review thoroughly over an extended period of time. We use industry standard tests to compare features properly. We’ll always tell you what we find. We never, ever, accept money to review a product. The delivery in Standard mode is deliberately flat and balanced, and while that works for everyday TV viewing, films demand more dynamism. The Theatre setting offers a bigger sound, but it isn’t one that escapes the confines of the TV. The setting also gives dialogue a slight boxed-in feel.

Get to know the settings. It is here that you can change colour, sound and things like DOLBY ATMOS etc. Besides offering 4K resolution, the U8G’s native 120Hz screen supports IMAX Enhanced, FilmMaker Mode, Dolby Vision, Dolby IQ, HDR10+/HDR10 and Quantum Dots. Dimming zones have been increased from 180 to 360 alongside a dynamic contrast ratio of 10,000:1 and up to 1,500 nits peak brightness. This means that regardless of viewing angle or brightness of the room one is viewing in, picture quality remains phenomenal.

Behind the display, the TV doesn’t protrude out much and lifting it isn’t too bad considering the U8G weighs under 60 pounds. Moving the TV out of the box to a table wasn’t difficult after screwing in the legs.
