(Filmed In HDR) Hisense U8H VS U7K | Battle Of The Mini LED (HDR) 

I wonder if a better TV will be on sale for black Friday. I guess wishful thinking 🤔 by me but you never know. Maybe them getting rid of last year's best or maybe this year's. I mean what if a 77" G3 were to drop to 3k. 🫨🫨🫨

Thanks Sir Michael

Have you noticed when using streaming services and RU-vid that your screen glitches to black before playing any video or preview like in RU-vid? I have a 55” as well and I’m not very happy that it’s doing that but I’m not sure if it’s normal or not.

​@@everythingfan9726Do you like the TV?

@@everythingfan9726 what I did notice initially is this: flickering. I wasn't sure where this was coming from, so I tried watching normal YV via my indoor antenna. And I noticed there was no intermittent flickering at all. This led me to believe the chief cause might be the connecting cables that run between my TV and my Hisense soundbar and gaming console. I used the HDMI 2.1 cable. So after a bit of trial & error, I downgraded to a HDMI 2.0 and the flickering stopped. I honestly don't know the how or why, but it worked. So, I ain't complaining There could be different reasons to why yours is happening. Try what I did, google and see if others have had similar experiences & their fix. Finally, if you bought yours within the last 39 days, try adding a 4 year extended warranty. The reason I'm recommending this to anyone buying a TV these days -- especially ones not named Sony is because as technology advances, the TV durability shrinks. Look at YVs made 15 to 30 years ago. Many of them last a super long time. But the ones these days, you'd be lucky if you got 5 to 6 years out of them.

@@everythingfan9726 i’ve had this happen on mine but on my apple tv, though for me its because it switches for hdr content

@@everythingfan9726 it's not normal, I've had that happen to me and I factory reset it and it fixed it.

I appreciate it bro

Congrats, I’m using a Sony FX-3 with a Atomos Ninja Recorder

in what store and state did you find them for the same price man?

@@vmp_online huntington wv best buy has a open box excellent condition uh8 for same price as the u6k

@@vmp_online 575.99 for u8h 549.95 for u6k

I did that weeks ago, go ahead and press that subscribe button

Was just about to comment this. Good comparison tho!

Thanks for the feedback

How does one do that? Cheat sheet, please?

Pretty sure this is a Google TV os thing and not exclusive to hisense. Had to do it on a Sony TV owned by a family member as well.

I heard game mode does that if I'm not mistaken. Just setting the tv to game mode?

Can any of you say how to do this??

@@jaleelmcdonald3374 it’s the “gaming menu “ button he presses in the video and then change hdmi format to enhanced. You’ll also want a hdmi 2.1 cable with 48gbps if you want 4k 120hz with HDR

So I don’t know every TV model. www.displayspecifications.com/en

Thanks

I think only the 75" and 85" have IPS panels. 55" and 65" have VAs. Can't remember where I read that though.

I only used the factory settings on the TVs I didn’t touch anything accept for automatic settings. That a Hisense thing with the local dimming

Can you share your settings for the u7k

@joelcolon116 I didn’t use any custom settings as shown in the video

@cfreeman2138 can you share your details on your settings

@@Verzula Yes, I'm out of town right now. But as soon as I get back I'll post the settings I have my calibrated at. I will say my U7K was very close right out of the box, but I wanted the best i could get from it still.

@@everythingfan9726 Sorry to hear that. I have not run into that problem. I do sometimes watch RU-vid on the TV, it performs very well. Usually I’ll use it to watch a movie, I am logged in with the TV. For streaming I use Prime Video and Tubi. Then occasionally Google TV.

@everythingfan9726 normally that’s from content matching features, it’s adjusting the TV to deliver the best Image. My Apple TV does that all the time when I have that feature on.

@@TechSteve interesting, maybe I need to take a look at my picture setting then. Thanks for the info Steve. 🫡

TCL qm8

It’s a recording, go to a store

Oldie but goodie

You would have to research online, i haven’t had my hands on either that size

That is my worry. I think I may just buy the U7 since its a good price to me in case,its crap. If lasts 3 or more years, it can go to bedroom TV duty and I can get the UK11 lol

Damn thats what I was wondering. They have a 65inch u8h for sale for 800 at some store here and I'm debating getting it but never had a hisense before

@@gabrielgalaxygh try tcl. That's what I replaced the Hisense with.

The video is your answer

Without a doubt

It’s your content unless you use an external device

Haven’t tried

@@TechSteve can you please check because I have a Vizio and it has a button that shows information and if I'm watching a show on any streaming platform I press it and it shows 1080p or 2160 and If it's hdr or Dolby vision and the 60hz and I wanted to know if u8h does this as well please can you check it would be very helpful please

@Whoan00 that pops up when it loads content, but I haven’t see a dedicated button

@@TechSteve no I could press the button anytime and the info will appear on top of screen I really love that feature and just want to know if the u8h has that feature if not on a button can it be looked up on the settings or something

What did you decide

Over 1000 nits is plenty bright

Come on I explain that these are factory setting not custom settings.

@@TechSteve just strange your limiting the tv from its capabilities. Your drag racing cars with a limiter on it.

Man, no matter what I film some people will never be happy and I’m ok with that. On the other hand be happy that I’m making unique content that’s not just fluffy examples over looking the details that I include. 25 hrs of production time

Mine was Max local dimming out of the box. The comparison definitely shows the u8h was brighter. I thought my U7K was too bright as it is. Great video though showing all the major differences 👍

@@brandonhatfield2547 Gotta agree with you there. I also had to turn down the brightness on my U7k. I don't know why they go on about brighter brighter I mean it's not like your going to be watching it with the Sun shining on it!

That's no ones business, you're here now

Share the setting pls tq

What’s the settings

Setttings?????

All TVs do that for content matching

@@TechSteve No, my previous LG that broke the screen didn't. When I say that the screen goes black in a preview it is not only in that video window it is the whole screen.

@ElionildoMiranda look for match content and turn it off, but the TV will not maximize the picture quality

We all have our opinions, I don’t calibrate or anything and I’m honestly as I can be. I use a high quality camera as well so if you think I’m wrong you can see what I see.

listen other review. first because same if he use a good camera, tvs are in the same video so its a very bad thing. need look in real OR capture the tvs with 2 video and mount with a software to post a side by side video. the other thing, if i understand correctly he dont change any setup and can be an honest thing, but in real he have to put the tv with the same setup. here, tvs have a different setup. just an example and i have 2 hisense: medium local dimming is darker than maximum. its an error need same setup to compare.

@SimonWoodburyForget these videos are to give people an idea of what TVs looks like and everything I say is my own opinion. You can always go to a local store if you think what I’m saying is untrue. Sorry you wasn’t happy with my comparison there’s plenty of content online for you to enjoy. Have a great day

Thanks bro, I’ve tried 10 different ways to film, people complain that I changed the brightness to match and started this huge tread, you probably didn’t know that. I film at factory settings now, because this is what you get out of the box. This is what works for now no complaints or interesting comments that go viral. Lol

@@TechSteve hi, why dont take 1 video per tv and make 1 side by side video with a software. With this method, brightness difference is closer than in real

Edit and export in HDR in your editing software plus you need to film in HLG

carful its different tv in few country for the 2022 (u8h) for u7k and other "k" its the same. european u8h is totally different with 112 zone and ips panel (horrible blooming) when have more 500 zones and va panel in usa

Where on my particular U8H TV do I locate the number of dimming zones it has? 🤔

​@@jahloman2127 wich size?

@@jahloman2127 You can check on youtube, there is a video to count dimming zone (a white square moving on a black picture). its better than check on the net. my old u8hq (european model) has 120 on the net but has 112 in real. my new u7k they said 240 and have really 240

@jahloman2127 google search

The TV is already HDR you just have to play a source like Disney+, Amazon Prime, Netflix etc….

It’s the movie recorded in anamorphic

@@TechSteve Okay, thanks. I just noticed that it wasn't all 4K videos as I stated but simply some videos were full screen while others had the black bar at the top and bottom. Nonetheless, I really love the picture of this U7K and even the audio without a sound.. And the $300 price difference between the U7K and U8K to me during Christmas made the U7K such a great value.

Those are not TVs those are companies

@@TechSteveI guess he mean which companies make the better TVs in your opinion

They both makes 6-12 TVs there’s no clear answer

Yes, all high end TVs has that

@@TechSteve thanks a million brother for quick response, one more query if you don't mind 😅- which one is better Hisence E7k pro or U7K ? (in terms of picture quality)

@vaibhavpriyansh812 I live in the us so I don’t know some models

@@TechSteve no problem 😊 tons of love from India ❤️

U7k ips or va penal

Maybe it’s a way to move old inventory out

U8h - Hands down! 👌🏼👍🏼

That’s why I showed the brightness difference and mentioned the nits. 1000 is extremely bright but comparatively with the same brand it shows you how much more 1500 nit lights up the TV

Oh yeah definitely , definitely. U7K is still REALLY good. VA panel, MINI LD(QLED technology) than traditional QLED. 1200 peak brightness, 500 local dimming. Like insane value. It’s equivalent like $2000-3000 Sony still. But i wont even buy SONY cuz their colors r VERY OFF, unlike SONY in the 1990s.

what about 85 inch, i am buying 85 inch tv@@birdtj82

I’m the same guy since 0 subs and will be the same with a million but more stressed out.

What happened to Caleb?

When you record you have to adjust the camera to the brightest screen or it blows out the footage. It’s perfectly fine on both

@@TechSteve ah yes video makes u7k look so dim

@djbpresents9584 i made a video where i adjusted the brightest tv to match and people where 😡 so it is what it is. Just remember it’s nothing like seeing it for yourself live

@@TechSteve yea I saw Brians techtherapy video he has great comparison full HDR gaming side by side. Obv flag ship looks better but u7k seems to be pretty great and maybe if u can get 65 inch there versus 55 u8 just go bigger if it fits ya budget

I seen u8k in best buy other day and I was stunned how good it looked and I own a c1
