65" U8 Series ULED Mini-LED 4K UHD Smart Google TV (65U8QG) - QLED, Native 165Hz, VRR 288, Up to LD5600, 5000 Nits, HDR10+, Dolby Vision IQ · Atmos, IMAX Enhanced, 4.1.2 Ch Audio

I have had this 100-inch Hisense U8 set up for a while now, and so far I have absolutely no complaints. The picture quality is beyond impressive. Colors are bright and vibrant without looking overly artificial, the image stays sharp on such a massive screen, and the black levels and contrast make movies and streaming content look excellent. I have seen plenty of people say to buy the comparable Samsung instead because this Hisense is supposedly nowhere close, but based on my real-world experience, I disagree. For the way I use it, which is primarily streaming movies, shows, and other content, this television looks every bit like a high-end display. I do not feel like I am missing anything by choosing the Hisense. The 100-inch size completely changes the room. It feels much closer to having a theater or projector setup, but with the brightness, clarity, and convenience of a television. Even regular shows become much more immersive, and good-quality 4K content looks incredible. It also handles a reasonably bright room better than I expected. I cannot give a fair opinion on the built-in speakers because I do not use the television for sound. As shown in my photos, it is connected to a full home-theater system, so all audio runs through my receiver and speakers. My review is based primarily on picture quality, streaming performance, and the overall experience. The television is obviously huge and heavy, so mounting and positioning it is not a one-person job. Once installed, though, it is absolutely worth the effort. This has become the centerpiece of my home-theater setup, and I would purchase it again without hesitation.

After spending a lot of time comparing Sony, Samsung, LG and TCL, I decided to go with the Hisense 100” U8 Mini-LED, and I couldn’t be happier. The picture quality is outstanding. HDR content looks incredible, blacks are deep, colors are vibrant without looking oversaturated, and the brightness is more than enough even during the day. Gaming on the PS5 has been amazing. Games like The Last of Us Part II Remastered look absolutely stunning with excellent detail, smooth motion and very low input lag. Movies are equally impressive. Once you spend a little time adjusting the picture settings to your preference, the image quality rivals TVs that cost significantly more. The Google TV interface is fast, setup was straightforward, and the TV has worked flawlessly. If you’re looking for a true cinematic experience at home without spending OLED flagship money, this TV is an incredible value. I would absolutely buy it again.

I was getting by with a decade old Panasonic plasma TV, and in addition to noticing degradation with the screen image, I was astounded with how much heat it produced making it highly energy inefficient. I’ve always been a consumer of the higher-end brands because I feel like you “get what you pay for“ and based on my room and requirements I was ready to move forward with a high-end Sony Bravia. As they moved closer to the purchase, I noticed an inordinate number of negative reviews. This caused me to start again with my research and Hisense kept popping up. I recalled renting an Airbnb earlier in the year that had a high since flatscreen installed, and I was amazed by the picture clarity. I switched gears completely, and began looking at data from the Hisence mini LED and was amazed at the overwhelmingly positive reviews. The price was literally half of the set that I was looking at and I figured with purchasing through Amazon I would give it a try. To say I was impressed would be a gross understatement. The set is amazing. The picture quality is excellent. The remote is fantastic. Every part of it feels super high-end, except the price! My one and only complaint would have been the sound quality coming out of the built-in speakers. In the past, I have used $1000 plus Sonos units, but they tend to be glitchy. Upon further review, I found that Hi sense makes their own dedicated sound bar that comes with a subwoofer for a fraction of the price of anything else on the market. The set up an installation on both was beyond simple. The sound quality is excellent, and the consistency of operation is five star all the way.

Two weeks with this monster, and believe me, this 75" TV packs a wallop for its price. Just as good as an OLED, the picture is so clear and vibrant, the sound is 4.1.2 Ch Audio, but it's even better connected to a Dolby Atmos/DTS-X theater system. Overall, I never thought Hisense would be a match to my Sony 77" OLED (don't get me wrong, this is the best TV I've ever owned), and now I have the best of both worlds. I was amazed after seeing a 136" Hisense Micro- LED TV at Best Buy and the 100" at Costco. They blew my socks off, just as the Hisense 75" Mini-LED Google TV I just bought. AWESOME.

This TV exceeded my expectations for quality of picture AND sound. Picture is extremely bright, and the sound is the best I've heard from a TV (even so, I installed a good sound bar). I have turned down the brightness twice, as even in a bright room, it pops. The only reason I don't give it 5 stars, is that I can't turn it on with the remote. It worked for a few days, then I spent hours on the phone with their AI "person" trying various fixes, including new batteries, taking out the batteries and reinstalling them, and finally resetting the TV (had to put back all my settings). This worked for a few times, and then the same thing. I finally stumbled on a fix: if I hold down the on button and say Turn on TV, it goes on !! Anyway the TV is wonderful, with a great picture and sound, and it has loads of smart functions and built in apps. Highly recommend, but watch out for the remote on function.

I spent weeks researching 85 inch TVs, using AI, physical exams, consumer reviews, and tech articles. This choice repeatedly came out #1. Picture quality is exemplary - especially after configuring the settings. Installation is ridiculously easy, especially if you use HangSmart mounting. The sound! I have soundbars with subwoofers on other TVs. This 82 watt multi-speaker is better. Great volume, great balance and direction, bass you can feel. Not audiophile quality, but nothing extra on the wall and more than suitable for movies and sports. I'm not a gamer, so no comment on that aspect. I do stream, and the picture quality, especially on Dolby and HDR services like AppleTV is fantastic. And the glare reduction is the best I've seen. I've only had it for 3 weeks, but given the price, feature set, and audio / video performance this would be my #1 pick every time.

If you’re looking for ultra high definition, a great gaming tv that meets and excels at the newest gaming platform standards…Connect your Google account, download your streaming apps and scan the QR codes with your phone and your done! Built in Dolby surround speakers that are actually respectable. Connect your soundbar if you prefer and run them simultaneously if you like! Soundbar works effortlessly with tv and remote! It’s no top of the line Ferrari tv, it’s a fraction of the price with all the bells and whistles! So if you’ll settle for a Calvo, twin turbo Dodge Viper and don’t feel the need to feel the wind in your hair in the all new electric Fararri Luce….This outstanding tv is for you! It’s a boss call! 😳🤔🤨🫵👊😎💯

The Hisense 65U8QG is an impressive TV on paper and, in many ways, in real-world use. Brightness is outstanding, Mini-LED local dimming is excellent, and overall image quality is fantastic when watching SDR, HDR, HDR10, and HDR10+ (a little dimmed but within expectations) content. Colors are vibrant, highlights pop, blacks are deep for an LED TV, and motion handling at 165Hz is great. For gaming and non–Dolby Vision content, this TV feels premium and easily competes above its price range. Unfortunately, Dolby Vision completely ruins the experience. When streaming Dolby Vision content, the image looks washed out, dim, flat, and lifeless. Blacks are lifted, contrast collapses, highlights lose impact, and the overall picture looks dull and “sad.” No amount of tweaking fixes it. This is extremely frustrating because it completely erases all the good this TV does with other formats. This becomes a deal-breaker because most major streaming services rely heavily on Dolby Vision. We primarily watch Disney+ and HBO Max, where most flagship movies and shows are streamed exclusively in Dolby Vision. On this TV, those titles are simply unwatchable, which defeats the purpose of owning a high-end HDR display. If you never plan to watch Dolby Vision, this TV is amazing and offers incredible value. But if you rely on streaming apps and expect Dolby Vision to look good, this TV has a serious limitation that directly affects what services you can realistically use with the native apps. Because Dolby Vision performance is unacceptable for our viewing habits, I will be returning the TV. It’s a shame, because without this issue, the U8QG would be an easy recommendation. Pros: •Excellent brightness and HDR impact •Fantastic SDR, HDR10, and HDR10+ performance •Great local dimming and motion handling •Strong value for the price Cons: •Dolby Vision looks washed out, dim, and flat •Major limitation for Disney+, HBO Max, and other DV-heavy services Final verdict: Amazing TV held back by a broken Dolby Vision experience.
