HISENSE U8N ULED MINI-LED Clear and Bright! 

That's not a bad TV at all. Very nice video Brian.

WOW! Incredible blacks and tremendous colour, sound is full 🤯 Thanks Brian 😎🔥

Let's see how the 100 inch u8n model pans out here in EU

I'm waiting for Bravia 9 💪

Does anyone know if this Hisense U8N (the 85” once it becomes available) is a decent upgrade from my 75” Sony Z9D from 2017? I wish I had the funds for the Sony Bravia 9 or even the Bravia 7, but my budget is $2,000. Thanks in advance for the replies!

Brian, Any ideas when you will review the U9N.....we need a separate miniLED faceoff

The engineers at hisense really mean business. Anyway, I'm very excited for 2024 upcoming tv shootout as a miniled aficionado, the king's flagship miniled tv with bad ass Master Drive, will have their hands full this year against the competition, sweet! Can't wait. Thanks Jennifer! Great content as usual, fantastic intro Brian! Thanks

Great Review as always Brian! A comparison with the U7N would be so cool! 🤞🏻

Hisense definitely upped their game with the U8N, curious to see what the differences are between the newly announced U9N. With the Sony Bravia 7, 8 and 9 recently announced too, it really now comes down to the value. Need to upgrade my LG 75inch that's 3 years old, the U8N is definitely in the lead, looking at the prices for 85 inch TV's, it'll be $2799, the Bravia 7 same size is $3499. And the U8N comes with surround sound built in, which is amazing for the price.

It's nice to see the other manufacturers stepping up their game. It certainly is so much better than the first 4khdr TV I had, the 55H8C that had horrible color balance but was uber cheap and looked acceptable for the price. It died 3 years in and they replaced it because it had a 4 year warranty. I've gone way above it with each upgrade but they aren't what they were back then luckily.

So Quantum was brutal in his review. But he reviewed a 55 inch. Did hisense really cheap out on the 55inch??

Hisense has really stepped it up the last few years, dating back to U7K. You can get a 75 or 85 for a great price. It’s the best all around tv that’s affordable. I own the U8K which is an amazing tv. Brightness, sound, gaming, and blacks, DV is there. Biggest issue with Hisense were the QA issues which can be remedy with protections plans.

Too bad the EU version have the crap Vidaa OS.... not buyin their brand until they change that

I didnt know your work, but you already have a sign up. Like your reviews.

I see the 85" has less local diming zones thsn the 65" and 55" for example. Shouldnt it have more dimming zones once it is bigger? Does it make a difference? The 85" has worse black?

I'm thinking of buying a 65-inch Hisense U8N TV or the 55-inch LG Oled C3 for movies and games, which one do you recommend?

There wasnt hisense here in brazil. They just got here and released the u8n. Im an oled guy, now i have a s90d, but for the price, it calls my attention once i know its a good tv. But hisense releases good tvs talking about durability or they break after a short time?

Can you find a movie that has a lot of back-and-forth between dark and light scenes to show how the TVs handles going back-and-forth between the scenes on this TV the U7N and the TCL 2024 tvs I want to get a mini LED trying to figure out which ones is the best

Thank you Brian for your extensive demo, waiting for the UX 😉

Great review thanks! Looking to replace 65” x950h. Could this be a good candidate?

Great video, TY. Any chance you know the depth of the metal base plate or maybe even the depth of the stand you put it on. I need to build a wall shelf for one of them (65U8N, 2024 Model). Customer service sucks. Forever to get person on phone. Then they have to send out a tech (about 10 days). The tech came, replaced entire TV other than panel (all boards and ribbon cables). Then he destroyed panel, then wait another 2 days for Hisense to reach back again. They issues refund via a check via snail mail, said it will be another 14-21 days to receive that. So in total, will be without TV for about a month. This was a U8H at 13 months old, 3yr warranty. Had to out-of-pocket money for new TV. Tech said they have issues big time when using wall mounts (U8H and older models) and that's what happened to mine, the screen just started looking dark and crappy in the center like the lcd was pulling apart from the weight when using a wall mount. If I could have able to justify the additional money, would not have been a Hisense, but am sure hoping the U8N will get better mileage by not using wall mount???

Obviously, miniLED is not WOLED, QD-OLED, or Tandem OLED...nor is it microLED. However, with all that said, Hisense and TCL are both bringing a fabulous bang for the buck quality to what was a relatively stagnant and boring LED LCD market for half a decade or better. For the vast majority of the viewing public, that's "enough". Thank you for continuing to review all segments of the market, Brian! Love your content and your overall attitude towards life, brother!

Me n my buddies have 3 HISense Panels 55” 65”s , cost us $3500 so far. So 1.5 yr, 2.5yr n 3.5 yr U8 flagship. 100% 💯 top quality solid no issue. Ppl talk” a study was made last year” are d ONES own 0 Hisens panel :) :)

Really dislike the stand of this model I prefer the legs

is the 3d effect noticeable for this tv

Whoa whoa whoa. The U9N is gonna be scarce??? Uh oh.

I’m trying to understand does Hisense have a U8N and a U9N series this year or is the U8N the highest mini led until you go UX?

Hi mate Does it have posterization problems as stated on QUANTUM TV shannel? Good review 👍

I bought an open-box 2020 75" Hisense in 2021 for $250 to see if 75" was the right size for my room. It was so I was going to buy a U8K8 75 last year but never got around to it. I may buy the U8N or just wait until next year's model since my old Hisense is holding up so well.

Really like your videos. Nice flow, non-obnoxious speaking. One small critique: the part where you cycle through the audio modes....is there a way to make that....better? Maybe more time on each one or a fade out between cuts.

I have a 2018 hisense 65 inch. Brilliant picture. HOWEVER, the panel developed about 9 large clusters of tan/yellow discoloration making it almost impossible to enjoy. Hisense has been known to have QC issues with its panels and I don't want to play the panel lottery. I need to replace this tv but I can't trust Hisense. I've heard very good things about the TCL QM8 and QM85... same price or lower than the Hisense. Do you recommend the TCL over the Hisense? I'm interested in the 75 inch model. Thank you and great video.

Great video brotha, I'm loving the brightness and the colors pop and that's what I'm looking for last year I bought the 65 inch U7K and loved it but now I'm upgrading to the u8n not just for the Brightness and the other features but because Earc isnt one of the hdmi 2.1 inputs so I can have both of my consoles using those features.

Hello Brian: I had a small issue with the ethernet hook up, and the customer service was outstanding

One thing your viewers should know is that the 55" U8N is a downgraded model and not the same as the 65". Also, the 75" uses an ADS Pro panel with significantly better viewing angles than the other models.

I am upgrading my garage TV from a U8G… I always wait for your reviews and information along with Fomo’s before purchasing. Never let me down the last 6 purchases. I’ve always been happy with the reviews and suggestions. I just went ahead and grabbed the 75’ U7N. I had the U7K being delivered but switched it cuz at only a $200 difference ahh. Man I hope I don’t learn a lesson by not wanting on y’all’s review first. Thanks for the video. Really appreciate all your work and presentations.

Everything looks great until I turn on my Xbox. HDR Gaming and Dolby vision Gaming are both extremely dark. I turned everything off and turned the brightness to high and it’s still dark. I don’t get it. My H9F did not have this issue.

Great review Brian! Did you notice any highlight clipping when you were HDR-Game mode?

He really think he papi chulo

55" u8n is trash forcing you to by 65". 55" is only 1800 nits

Thanks for the showcase, out of nowhere I'm going to have to consider Hisense in the near future.

The 65" has 1600 zones.

They need to make product under 55 inches for european market.

55 inch Tcl s Series 450g or Hisense A6 which is better I’m big on a good looking picture for tv and Gaming

Am thinking to swapping my TCL QM8 for this U8N, is it worth up grade ? Cant stand TCL upscaling : { really bad specially on low bit content .

FYI. Returned my U8N today. It worked for a couple of days, then would not turn on unless I unplugged it from the wall and did a reset. Then even that workaround stopped working and would just randomly crash after Google TV came up. Don't have time for this. Going back to Sony, which I have had two separate sets that lasted 10 years each without issues. I guess you get what you pay for.

If this is the TCL equivalent in 98"-100" size are available around black Friday for $4k or less I'll buy.

Brian is the Cool guy , Chad in tv review space :)

Why are so many people against Hisense? Are there issues that are not being discussed? We are thinking of buying the u7n based on budget and features. I’d like to know if that’s a mistake.

Interesting. Color volume helps with depth perception and is something in which Samsung falls behind, both having VA panels. It seems that the U8N come with the second version of the VA.

You thinking we should wait for Black Friday deals

Do you guys think we will get a good sale on TVs for memorial weekend 🤷‍♂️

for similar price, what are your thoughts on this vs last years qn90c?

The box doesn't differentiate U8N from the K? How to know?

Good video, I don't usually like background music, but it's nice

U8N vs Sony X90L ? same price at 65...

I’m still looking more closely at TCL, where only a VA panel is used, while Hisens is a lottery - in some diagonals they can slip in ADS/IPS

Have you noticed any posterization?

Will take a peek bro.😊

What demo was that at 1625 ?

Could you confirm or make a short video of the picture size or aspect ratio for the tv, like direct, zoom, wide, etc...? I bought the U8H when it came out and I don't know if it's a bug on my model which I've addressed to Hisense but I could never change the aspect ratio settings on my tv. My sister bought a Hisense a couple of years before I purchased the U8H and I set up her tv for her and was able to access the aspect ratio of her tv to Direct.

This TV having a blue cast too like many VA TVs and Monitors. Why is that so..... but ok my IPS Mini LED Monitor with Quantum Dot have a Red cast.

Can you upload demos?

I thought you aid you would compare to the U8K in this video? I'm looking at 75" TVs. Right now, the U8K can be had for $1000 and the side feet would work with my setup. The U8N is $2000 and I would need a different mounting solution. I live in an old house and do not want to wall mount.. Are there any aftermarket solutions to convert this to a side foot like the older model? Is the 8N really worth double the price? Thanks!

hello brian , i had a u8kau 65 last year which was the oz & euro model , vidaa o.s , central stand , small sound bar on the bottom of it with a 2.1.2 speaker system . couple of things it did badly was the hdr10+ mode for films & tv series it had horrible backlight/local dimming control , the grey screen would stay on the hole screen then overlay staying on the screen then washing out the next film scene by staying on the screen , i had trouble with the hdmi cec & sending digital audio through the hdmi , optical cable would work fine . hrd10 had less problems than hdr10+ , D.V looked ok .hisense customer service was shit , so i took it back to the store for a return , maybe i got a bad panel , when i viewed it in store in store mode it looked fine , when i got it home it looked nowhere near like the store tv i had seen , the u8n looked nice in ur video , maybe when u do ur review on it at a later stage check all hdr formats are working correctly , i will be next i buy a tv from a store most likely a sony , thanks keep up the good work

How's the DSE......

Samsung S90D or LG G3 ?

19:20 that sting ray popping out of water. It was like 😂butter ball jump out. Yeah it was quite smooth treat. Makes me wanna upgrade now :)

Nice tv! When do you think you will test the U7N?

🔻

Thanks Brian

Kinda got buyers remorse with the Sony X95K. The 95L was a smack to the face but I only paid 1900 so 🤑

Great Review!!!

Hi Brian , I will make every effort to watch , but in case I can't , please clarify if the 55" is the same as the 65" with exception of the stand . Word is that the 55" is completely different than the rest of the U8N lineup . Thanks and take care , Dreamer  ( I liked !! 👍 ) + 😃

Is there a problem at all with posterization?

11:24 interesting. look at this frame and pause it and look beside the Mantis. That looks like it is the backlight pattern we can see. Each little square is the miniLEDs or a zone behind it. Unless it's a reflection in Brian's house that has that pattern. But it looks exactly like the pattern shown of their MiniLED backlight earlier in the video. It doesn't look like moiré pattern or pixels. EDIT: OK Brian said it's his camera. Weird pattern though. Looks like the demo of their own backlight. Didn't see that on any other TV filmed. That wouldn't be something I would want to see when watching TV. Otherwise the TV looks pretty good considering. The U9N would be even more special. Hisense is getting better every year. They now have improved their processing and even starting to use special image co-processors like Sony is doing. In a few years. They might be getting close. But not yet.

Can't wait

“I’m not a fan of Elmo, but why aren’t these people rushing Toyota or Stellantis factories? He might have a point about these groups being funded by big oil. As long as he’s abiding by the environmental rules set by the politicians over there. However, if those rules are lackluster, then perhaps they should be bum rushing those politicians who are enabling Elon Musk to harm the environment.

Picture looks terribly blurred and distorted. Guess something is wrong

A study was made last year Hisense is less reliable tv with 20+% tv failure so roll the dice

@BRIAN 👋 ,I just purchased the 55" Samsung S90D Open Box literally New the Tv still has the screen protector, it cost me $1225 plus taxes, it works perfectly and it stikl has like 10 months of manufacture warranty, shoukd I return it and get the 65 inch Sony X90L for $1099 plus taxes or this new 65 inch Hisense U8N for only $1399 plus taxes? I dont rewlly care uf the S90D is 55 inch its for my room although that Tv is amazing. What should I do? I play fighting games and I'm a but concerned about Burn.

Bravia 9 is the king of 2024 and everything else is just loser

I would NEVER spend that kind of money just to sit and stare at a screen. I could take that money and live in the real world and have fun enjoying life as our creator intended for us to do. I find it completely and utterly absurd that anyone would spend that kind of money just to stare into a screen living a fake life. My phone that I'm writing this message on is a galaxy s20 that I paid 180 dollars for.

You disgust me if you go for mini-led. OLED is the way to go. As a member of the OLED and anker phone charger fan club, we are at war with non-OLED sets.
