HISENSE U8N VS U8K Uled Mini-led Battle ! Is the U8N Better? 

I got the 65in U8K, 2023 refurbished, looked brand new for just under $800 before taxes. I'm happy lol.

Got the 65 inch U8K last year for my gaming pc 4k@144hz, giving it to my daughter and I bought the 65 inch U8N, gets here tomorrow 😄. I am a Hisense fan now. Great Tv's for the money.

The U8N looks great, was actually thinking of the U8K but all content look better on the U8N. The only other TV I'd consider is the Sony Bravia 7, but the difference in price is pretty significant - $2799 (U8N) vs $3299 (Bravia 7) for an 85inch. Plus the fact that you don't need to get a soundbar for the U8N makes it a great value across the board. Hisense did just announce the U9N (probably to compete with the Bravia 8 and 9). Great videos as always Brian!

Looking forward to your comparison Brian, just what everyone was looking for.

Literally, just purchased the u8k yesterday. I couldn’t shell out the difference in price for the u8n but I’ll be happy with it. I’ve been wanting the u8k for a year now so it’ll be great

Excellent video! Thank you for your great information!

I was watching this video and the time and effort you put in this video I really appreciate it a lot. Will be watching your other videos you make like this cause there is so much info that is really needed to know thanks.😃

Good job, Brian. I really like the fact that you're one of the few that pays attention to the quality of the build. 😊

Great Review!!! Thank u

Thanks Brian. Both look good

I think I'm going to buy the u8n 65 as my movie TV. I really like the build and picture processing

Perfect video, got sold on the first picture, that shadow detail was my least liked point on the u8k but I was already convinced to live with it. Now the u8k comes and fixes my OCD. Ordered one already, let's hope the IPS is as good or even better than the VA. Thank you so much for the video

Love my U8K. It's a great TV for the price I paid.

I definitely think it’s a noticeable improvement. I see more brightness covering the entire screen and the colors still look rich. It definitely pops more. I would love to see it compared to the Bravia’s soon. Thanks Brian!

Great video as usual Brian you captured so much of what makes these TVs breathtaking . I'm about to unbox my 65" U8K , put it beside a 75" U8K with ADS Pro Panel (wall display) I'm having delivered this week from BB . Last week it still looked unreal at BB, so the comparison will be interesting . This weekend I helped my friend unbox and mount his 65" U8N and you displayed its merits to a T . Vibrant beyond compare but like a super charged Ferrari you must get to know it and not drive it 200 mph , and it's quite capable of doing so , on a regular street . Tame it and balance it to its strengths and the panel should be something uniquely special . Will update once I fiddle with my two Hisenses .

Will take a peek.😊

Man, everyone is stepping up their game now, super bright with excellent blooming control and black levels now. Was working late today so missed the live stream.

Well quantum did mention that the demos do look really good on the TV but where it falls short is when you watch non demo stuff like the real world content

Brian, I am really getting a good understanding of the flexibility of image you often mention. Not every videophile wants to watch in filmaker mode.

It’s got great shadow detail

Buying the U8N next wk..Thanks B! 65 inch. The way to go

19:50 you can see where the birds in the back ground are much more clear in the u8n than on the U8k

I saw 2 outstanding tvs. I have a Hisense U8G, and after this review, I will be upgrading in size from 55" to 65", but will get the U8K as the value proposition is unbelievable, even though the U8N edges it in most of the comparisons, but not so that I won’t enjoy viewing my content.

Good Video! Thanks

u should compare this set with the bravia 7

I had a U8G. The HDMI board failed in 3mo. The board was replaced quickly by Hisense. Good tv for the dollar

The u8n seems to really do shadowing really well. It doesn't lift the blacks but I can still see the details... FYI I'm watching on a LG C2 55

Awesome review Brian!!! Hey just a quick question do you think you can honestly do the same but you ain't versus u8n side by side in the same modes etc most vivid to most accurate picture modes so I can see the difference. That would be awesome 🔥 do you think that's coming soon or in the plants? Another one that would be awesome is the u8 and next to the Samsung s90c obviously in it's most accurate picture modes. See how close it really is especially the image refinement picture quality processing. 🔥 💣 💪. Keep it up man!! 🎉

Excellent comparison. Next compare with the new TCL and these HISESNSE

I started watching TV reviews dec 2023. Wanted to update myself on tv technology these days. (I still own a 1080p 3d tv) Your videos helped me decide on going mini led instead of OLED. I've been watching prices since Dec and after this video I'm pretty sure I'll be buying a u8n this weekend. Thank you for your reviews.

Some images look better on one than the other. It's a toss up. Thank you for the comparison.

Good video Brian! The other vid I saw I thought the u8k had more shadow detail but not tonight. How would you rate the u8n vs the new LG QNED90t?

Thank you Brian it was so interesting review I like the Hisense U8N I like more the design the look the quality I like the pop-up sharpness color contrast brightness detail on dark place and dark Shadow is much better detail I don't know why but U8K look more Phil in overall picture is Not pupup picture in the end of the day U8N more quality and more balanced is big and improvement to me in Hisense TV

Thanks I decided to buy two u8ks because they were on sale for $899 I felt like It was worth saving the extra money as they both look good

You have many good videos, but I have a question that I have not seen answered before. How well do these hold up when powered on 24/7? In need of a quality budget TV that has little issue with that. The Hisense U8H lasted 13 months, but issues started right at 12 months. The repairman just just left today after he destroyed the screen (warranty repair thing) and left me without anything until Hisense gets back in touch with me. In market again now

How does it improve on it every single way? Does a lone pixel do more vs last year?

Ordered the 75" u8n last week, it arrives tuesday and i cant wait!!! Hope the ads pro panel is as good as the va, but the wife said if we are uograding our tv we might as well go bigger, so when you get the permission you dont ask twice

I just want something that will look great for gaming but not OLED.

Detail on the U8N is better, but it's not a huge difference. Not often noticeable tbh.

The U8N looks excellent, it's where I want this to be on a budget, Now I am just wondering what the U9n does better

Please do TCL QM8 vs U8N.

Anyone has any idea if upscaling on the U8N is really far behind from that of Sony? Most of the content I stream is 1080p, I would only watch a 4k blu-ray once in a great while. Thanks

Great video, I absolutely love my 100U8K I got for $2999 but wish the remote was backlit. Do you know if this current U8N remote is compatible with the U8K? I’d def buy it if that’s the case!

Does it still over brighten Dolby vision like last year ?

I've had the U8N 65in for a week now and it a great movie TV and the picture in real content is fantastic. HDR 10+ is a little lackluster but overall this TV is really awesome. It's Bluetooth connectivity is perfect. The couple of qwerks it has are nothing bad and Hisense teaming with the NBA makes me think many updates will be coming (Dolby vision ia fully customizable)

Hmm, guess I should set my u8n to standard hdr. I've been using filmmaker mode so far.

What do you think that could be better U8N at 55" with 1800 nits (I don't know how many dimming zones) or U7N at 65" with 1500 nits and 384 dimming zones?

Any posterization?

What a dillema to get Hisense U8N or TCL QM8 / TCL C855 (2024)

I am in my last week of the university course with project presentation and test.. After that I can binge watch all the videos and looking forward to the Elden Ring DLC 😂

I watched a video from Shane Lee & Dreamedia (Zach) today on the Just Video Walls, and their people said that if you had the displays Grey Scaled (Really adds to the cost: BIG TIME ), it would knock your socks off......it really improves the picture that much more! And also to the people that like 3D movies, the Just Video Walls will play 3D movies and also without 3D Glasses ( don't know how that would work). They also stated that ALL Video Walls will display 3D movies. You just need the right kind of Blu-ray player to play a 3D movie, because not all of them will work.

At this point we want Bravia 9 content. I guess the shipment didn't arrive yet.

Brian, both TVs have 2.1.2 on-board audio, apparently. Which do you like better? The U8K made the speaker positions obvious. But where are the final 2 speakers on the U8N placed and where are they aiming? It looks like they are hidden within the panel on either side of the subwoofer aiming at the back wall. In that true? If so, how is that of any benefit to anyone? Please let me know your thoughts.

Can you please compare the 55" U8K vs 55" U8N ? These sizes are over looked because supposedly and I think it is true, 65" models sell more. I don't like 65" TV's since 4k at 65" is too low of a pixel density, even if you use a dynamic super resolution on a PC game using it as a monitor, you are still losing out on pixel density compared to a 55" model and I like to play with the screen 3-3.5 (sometimes 4 feet) away from my face. It seems like every review site and every one on youtube only compares/reviews 65" models.

Brian have you seen the U8N 75" ADS Pro panel? Heard it would be significantly better than any VA panel even from Sony for PC Gaming. 2000 zones at 75" is also more than the B9 75", although the native contrast is low at 1:1600.

Looks like U8N has much more agressive tone mapping and image processing, to the point where it looks overly contrasty.. How about U8N vs QM851 vs Bravia 7?

Trying to decide between the 75 inch u8k or u8n. About a $200 difference where I live. Thoughts? I’ll be replacing a 65 inch oled in a bright room

The u8n performance is so close to OLED ... I'm curious to see the u9 but I can't imagine it will compete in price considering the u8n performance. For me personally this will be for movies almost exclusively

please do a u8n vs u7n comparison asap!

I consider to buy a Hisense tv. But is it good and what about movement when you see sport like tennis and soccer.

Did they fix gray unformity

Very nyc video sir I'm living alone so which one better TV for me Sony Samsung & lg ya others & which model tell me Love from India 🇮🇳

Can we also get a U8N vs U8K vs U8H video in the future?

U8N 55 vs C3 55 what is better for streaming content in a normal living room?

Clarity, details and depth on U8N appear to match the Sony X95L

Hey guy,the urn takes the win with the unknown a close 2nd. The highlights pop on the u8n ,very premier picture U dig…

"I belong to nobody!!! Shout out to Megatron." 👍👍👍👍

Can u do a comparison with the equivalent 2024 TCL model tv? Is the new TCL QD Mini LED better than the U8N? Or would you buy last year's OLED tv like the Samsung S90C? I would buy Song OLED but they still the same price as when just released! They haven't budged an inch when all other brands are lowering price coz new models coming out but Sony tv's are the same price since released. What the....??! Its either TCL, HISENSE or last years Samsung OLED for me.

Imagine if Hisense makes an OLED

Have a U8K 100 coming Wednesday... couldn't wait

hey brian review s85d oled samsung

U8N handles reflections a little bit better too

If I mainly watch cable TV should I still consider the U8N or go with Sony's upscaling with the Bravia 7?

Do they make a good forty eight inch t v

Did you use the build in GoogleTV RU-vid app or an external device?

please just came out thanks

Thanks, Brian, for this comparison. I have a quick question, how does the U8N in your opinion compare to the LG G4? Does the U8N match the clarity, upscaling and depth perception of the G4, if so I might be tempted to go with the 75-inch U8N and get the Denon 3800H receiver for the same cost as the 77-inch G4. Since you have seen both TVs your input is highly appreciated.

Hisense? I had a 32 inch that turned off or with working audio but no video, not even if they give it to me as a gift

Thanks for the review Brian, the one thing that seems very apparent is u8n has alot of black crushing in almost every scene and lack of shadow detail, granted it's a RU-vid video but sure seems obvious anyway appreciate the comparison my friend

Hi Brian!, when do you think you are going to be reviewing the Bravia 9? Thanks!

Will u8n ever be in 100 inch?

My highsense don't look good at all when I put my 4k ultra dvd on it shows too black does anyone know how to fix problem

What is the Elden Ring DLC?

Very surprised in how far Hisense have come since the u8k, I didn't think there would be that much of a difference in clarity, depth and black levels. Would be interesting to see the u8n next to an oled to see how much they have closed the gap!

Is upscaling better on the U8N and comparable to that of Sony?

when you say depth what does that mean. thanks

Does it look like the U8N Have a little. Black crush

It’s looks nice but they becoming more like fake picture , doesn’t look natural too saturated.

I'm not sure why but my 65 inch U8N looks terrible

That only 😂

The u8n looks really good, I'm a bit surprised because quantum tv slammed the u8n. Maybe I shouldn't be surprised!

No sé inglés jajaja ¿Alguien sabe la diferencia entre estos dos modelos?

Hisense have great tv when they have no defects. Too bad that many of them always have some kind of bug/defect. I do not recommend hisense. Better Buy a Lg, sony, Samsung or Panasonic.

U8n is too bright tbh, eotf curve is way off

Why don’t you base the review on live stream instead of the fake demo…

The main issue you have with Hisense is reliability. On paper, this looks like a no brainer until you drop 1100.00 on a 65” that is broken in 12 months. I’ll say this, when i was looking at the U8N at Best Buy, the salesman said he’d “rather have a budget Samsung than a high end Hisense.”

Keeping my U8K. Thanks for the Vid. Still think U8K is superior. There is no Sun in the New Panel :-). Much more depth in the U8K. ( Can you tell me what the name of the Vid Demo is?)

u8k is better than u8n

U8K looks better and more natural.

disappointed in hisense this year. the u8n in 55" doesn't even perform the same way, its low performance and under 2000 nits
