HisenseULED Premium 55U8G QLED Series 55-inch Android 4K Smart TV with Alexa Compatibility, 1500-nit HDR10+, Dolby Vision IQ & Atmos, 120Hz, HDMI 2.1, Game Mode Pro

I am writing this full review because if you are shopping for an amazing TV under $1000, then this TV and Hisense are for you. Understand this first, I am VERY fussy about TV picture, color, accuracy as well as great features. I also rsearch like crazy but in this case, it was an easy decision because I already had a Hisense 8 series 55 and a 45 for our son. They were so great, I had to get the 65" for myself in our main living room/tv room.I dont have to tell you about the specs (QLED, NIts, etc) as thats readily available and a million youtube reviews. I want to tell you first hand what I see.Colors are amazingly acurate. Blues, Reds, indoors, outdoors. No motion blu I can detect, no ghosting, blacks are BLACK. Skin tone is great. And detail ? You see every whisker, pore, reflection, mortar on brickwork. I have never seen duch detail even over and above my prior models.Setup was a breeze and the way I set my color details, everything, even movies like Top Gin Maverick look live. Many people like movie mode but as a former videographer, I like the LIVE look. Thus, my settings bring out that SHOT on video look. Sound is awesome and it was a breeze paring to blutooth earbuds. - NOte - My Bose QC's didnt like the connection. They worked but drop out. But my Boltunes work amazing.Okay on to my settings - tastes may vary but from top to bottom, here are mindGo to settingsPictureBacklightLocal dimming - lowLevel 82Light sensor - offBack to picturePicture ModeStandardContrast - 91Brghtness - 63Color - 48Tint - R1Sharpness - 39Scoll down - Apply picture settings - choose all sources (you can do this by source so for example, if you do this fro streaming , you can adust different for broadcast or HDMI inputBack to pictureScoll downSelect Advanced SettingsOverscan - offcolor temp - MediumMotion enhancement - offMotion clearness - offNoise reduction - lowDigial Noise reduction - lowActive contrast - lowFilmaker mode auto - offColor space - nativeBack to pictureApply to all sources againYou are doneNow maybe its not quite right for you. first, understand what each setting does and when you change things like color or tint, DONT change more than 1 or 2 increments at a time. Example, My color is reduced a tad to avoid oversaturation of color. Its a small change but makes a different. Tint is set to R2 (which is 2 dots higher in red than middle) because otherwise, you may be too far into GREEN which makes flesh tones off. Its that sensitiveBest of luck to all and hope this helps

I bought this as a gift for my in-laws. Even though other sets like the QN90A are better, is it worth it? Are you that fanatical about having the absolute best picture that you will pay double or more? This TV is an exceptional value and looks fantastic. Its a huge upgrade (compared to a 10 year old set) and plenty of TV for all but the most discerning. It hardly feels like settling for less, in my humble but still somewhat discerning opinion.After playing with it for a few days, I can see some of the flaws that I've seen in some reviews. Color banding is pronounced in the shadows, for example, but in normal TV/Movie watching that is almost never an issue. However, all-in-all this is an excellent TV for the price paid. The interface is very snappy. The colors are saturated but still look natural. Black levels are great and the contrast is wonderful. I viewed this next to my old pioneer Kuro. No, I wouldn't replace my Kuro with this TV, but, if it should suddenly die, I wouldn't be upset at all if I had to use a set like this for a few years until true micro-led TVs are available.So go ahead and buy it if you are on the fence. I hope Hisense will release a firmware update in the future to address the color banding issue. From what I've read, it might be due to the voltage to intensity transfer function that hisense programed into the set. Perhaps they stretched the curve too much so that they could advertise high peak brightness to the detriment of color smoothness in the shadows? As it is the set is too bright and I had to reduce the backlight intensity anyway.

Since I exhaustively researched all the reviews to help me decide on buying this tv, I’ll submit one myself.Packaging was great, solid, and two Amazon delivery guys helped get it out of the box. I mounted it on the wall with some help.Set up normal, the android platform is good no complaints. It’s medium intuitive. Figuring things out just takes a little time.I chose the TV because it claimed to be bright. We live top floor with lots of windows, so brightness was very important. This tv is the brightest I’ve found. Corner to corner it fills excellent. It’s vivid and really impressive. Clearly a better picture than our other 4K tvs.The hdmi arc connects our 5.1 sound system. No lag and it picks up automatically on power up. It’s able to use the original tv remote to control the sound.The only gaming we play basic kid stuff so I can’t really comment as to the true performance. With my Apple TV connection it defaults to 60 rather than 120. Through the android platform I believe it generates at 120.The Hey google feature is hit or miss. If the tv is a little loud, it doesn’t pick up as much. Otherwise I don’t find it to be glitchy.At the price point, it’s an amazing tv. The picture is awesome. The test will be longevity. I’ve had it up and running for about 4 months. I recommended to my brother-in-law and and would recommend to you.
