The Brightest TV I’ve Ever Tested | Hisense UX TV Review

[@Caleb_Denison]

Hey everyone! I see a lot of questions about motion, upscaling, and HDMI eARC handshake issues as reported by Andrew Robinson, with whom I have spoken recently. First, I’ve not had audio problem, but I concede that I only connected two audio devices: Klipsch The Nines and a Yamaha soundbar I’m testing. Second, I liken the upscaling to the U8K, because that’s exactly what it looks like - not garbage, and consistent with a TV of of the U8K’s price, but not consistent with a high-end TV as the UX is priced. This is why I might choose the X95L, if I was watching mostly low-quality content (which I personally don’t, outside of KZbin vids, which I can deal with). However, this Tv is gorgeous with high quality content, so the choice between those two would come down to what one watches most, I think. My hope is that Hisense takes this feedback and comes back with a TV in 2024 that is an even stronger competitor in the upscaling area - historically, Hisense has taken this feedback seriously and worked hard to improve year over year. I’m optimistic we’ll see something even more impressive, and possibly not limited edition, next year.

😮slow CLAP for Oritginality .Says someone OPENLY put Hisense U8G U8H U8K --“SHARPNESS” from OUT of box @25 set to --ZERO. In Reviews. Effectively Make a 4k tv look 1080P. 😅 n TURN MOTION “Enhancement” from OUT of Box “medium” to --OFF. To creat n blink. Then like “hey i notice the shimmer , it doesn’t upscale well for low resolution content”. Dude u TURn the UPSCALE OFF@!!!! Lol….😂

[@chriskelly1740]

Hay, Caleb. Rtings* claims the X90L beats the X95L in so many areas that if I had that kind of money, I'd get a 98-inch X90L. But my limit is between $2,000 and $3,000. Anything more expensive than that would take me so long to save for that 4K UHD Blu-ray might be discontinued by the time I'm ready. So it's the 85-inch X90L for me. *If Rtings claims the Hisense UX beats the X90L and/or X95L in various areas of performance, I'll edit this comment. But your results are close enough to Rtings's results that I don't think it will. Keep up the good work! Looking forward to more!

[@RedLeo-pf9yo]

85 inch is becoming too small for a lot of people.

[@mickeyneo4228]

motion is perfect i find. dont understand what people say. i tested lot of tvs from lot of company. i have less stuttering and artefact with hisense. the worst was samsung, one of the best lg (but lot of artefacts)

[@user-oq6sc1qm4j]

The big question is why would I spend this kind of money on a Hiense when I can go buy the Sony X95L which is the best LED tv of 2023. Hisense seems to be forgetting who they are, a budget tv brand that makes cheap tvs that looks good enough to make you think twice about dropping big money on a Sony or Samsung, this tv needs a big price drop for it to be considered.

[@andrewmurphy4797]

I don’t comment very often, but this warrants jumping in. I think that this might be one TV where a philosophical discussion *is* warranted. If you look at, say, the difference between TCL’s original R615 from 2018, and compare the performance differences with the recent Q7 or QM8, and then compare that to the performance differences in the flagship TVs from Sony or Samsung … if Hisense can make anything like as much progress at the high end as they and TCL have made in value TVs, the premium brands should be *very* worried, and we as consumers should be *excited*. If Hisense don’t get scared off by the initial reception of the UX, then top TVs are going to get phenomenally good in the next few years. The real question is whether their experience in delivering value is going to translate into delivering the color and motion and cleanup accuracy required for the truly premium TV experience. I must admit that I am still skeptical of that. It sounds, though, like if they focus their attention there for a generation or two, then they will be able to compete with the top brands on pure premium experience, and the trickle-down effect on their more value-oriented TVs will be *devastating* for their competitors.

[@kingtrance307]

Yes except nobody can compete with Sonys processing and of course the Sony price reflects that. Now if you mostly watch 4K content and blu rays and are mainly a movie buff then the ULED X doesn’t seem like a bad value at the sale price right now. Guess it depends on your viewing preferences. Another alternative is the new improved 2024 version of the TCL QM 8 but I would wait for a sale price on that.

[@ryanbaker7404]

Thank you for this review, Caleb. Even though this is indeed "limited release/edition," it's stuff like this that pushes the envelope of current technology but eventually finds its way into mass marketed consumer products. Good on Hisense for taking a chance and getting it out there, even if only in limited hands. With modern mass communication, we have the ability to do a limited release test with a select few and then get that information out to both the masses of enthusiasts and, finally, the average consumer. And while we may end up with only parts/fractions of this technology in the final form, it's important to test, test, and more test, lol.

[@XBnPC]

I'm just really happy there's competition not only between companies right now, but also between technologies. This is amazing for consumers :) Great Video as Always!! Ty!!

[@watchcommander2012]

A huge step forward in to the high end space for Hisense and with feedback the next version will be even better for me it’s the U8K 65”

[@DanteZful]

Got the 65’ U7K and it’s def the best tv I’ve ever had. Never knew of Hisense before though am really happy with them coming from VIzio

[@MagiofAsura]

Hisense and TCL are what Vizio use to be. That company is lost at sea at this point

[@birdtj82]

HEY do u a FAVOR. Turn the U7K to --FILM MAKER Mode, go to Advance settings to change Color temperature from Warm 2 switch to WARM 1 (agreesive yellow) . Then go back to PREVIOUS page, d option of “SHARPNESS” set it from 25(out of box) down to --- 0---- Make sure leave Black level remain , Brightnesss remain untouched. Tada. That’s WHAT u see how all the U8K U8H U8G UX videos look like in his Review.

[@maxoverdrive8286]

It seems Hisense UX is one processor and one software update away from dominating the premium LED market. Especially at the large 85" size. The brightness and viewing angle coupled with blooming control and color accuracy is impressive. Black level this good with ABL brightness makes me think UX can compete with OLED if upscaling and motion are improved. If, 2024 Hisense UX equals Sony on upscaling and low bit rate clean up then they beat Sony with picture quality and brightness. Then I will buy that TV unless QD OLED gets brighter. I mean in a room with ambient light this UX seems like a winner!

[@kaiserfakinaway5909]

Only LG has gotten close to Sony's motion and upscaling and I think Panasonic is a close 3rd due to their use of the older mediatek chipset, as soon as Panasonic uses the Pentonic chipset I'm certain they're going to rival Sony's processing. However, I think the Hisense would be a strong contender regardless of its processing deficiencies because of the brightness and contrast. However, the only thing that would deter me from the Hisense is the accuracy, Sony's MiniLEDs just are way too accurate compared to the competition, the way the backlight is controlled is phenomenal. If Hisense gets even 80% close to Sony's algorithm quality then yeah, they'd be an actually strong contender. For now though, the Sony is just too well rounded to complain about

[@mickeyneo4228]

@@kaiserfakinaway5909 i find hisense better than lg from far! maybe my eyes have a probleme... i see lot of artefact on lg, panasonic and sony a bit too... hisense is one of the best. samsung the worst. and ive tested u8hq was clean but a bit of stutter. now i have u7kq, really perfect. no stuttering and zero artefacts. last thing, these tvs can 120hz bfi.. lg s oleds cant

[@frankcolumbo4481]

Im watching this video on a Hisense, its an outstanding brand at a fraction of the cost of bigger name brands.

[@santi0819able]

It seems like every Hisense throws out a big experiment like this, and it falls short. They did an OLED once, they did the Dual-Cell, and now this. They miss the point, the reason I like them is because they offer more bang for my buck. But if you're gonna make a tv 100% as good as Sony, priced 100% as Sony, then I go buy a Sony.

[@DJPieter79]

They still do OLEDs but they aren't available in the US. I have the latest OLED from hisense and it is amazing 😍

[@LazyCrazyGuy]

See you get it. Hisense is the Kia of the car market. They need to stay in their lane. I will never buy Chinese products again because I am anti communist, etc. Don't like that they are a growing threat to our national security but I understand people out there will buy their trash that doesn't last past 2 years. That being said I am not going to buy a KIA that can go toe to toe with a Ferrari for the Ferrari price. I'd go with the Ferrari every time.

[@vagamer522]

To be honest I am glad they don't focus much on OLED as it cuts the lower end and middle end consumers and I am looking at your LG. LED and Mini-LED should be the focus for companies at this point more so than ever and Hisense is doing that in full compared to most companies I see and thats whats makes them a winner. While yes they do produce higher end TVs they are rare and don't happen often. Not only that they also provide very good features for gamers and movie watchers at each price point for 4K.

[@mingomane1]

This is a terrible take. Sonys aren’t the end all be all. They have great processing and that’s about it. They take other companies panels and pair it with their processor. What’s so great about that? I would take this over a sony led.

[@huskers1278]

​@vagamer522 If more companies focused on OLED, OLED would be cheaper.

[@Barbarapape]

Brightness insn't everything and this one has issues with handshaking with other devices via HDMI Not all the glitters too brightly is gold.

[@sunarf]

Thanks Caleb for testing this TV. It's one of the few on my short list and gives me much more information to make my decision. The only one left that NOBODY has tested (at least in the States that I've seen) is the Sharp XLED. If you could pleeeeeeease test that one next I believe it would finish out the list for 2023. 👍

[@jamesmichael900]

I'd do another search for other reviews before you buy this TV.

[@jamescampbell8482]

Now that the TVs are this bright, it would be really cool to have adjustable back light Strobing modes. 1500 nits full screen should be enough to give really good motion clarity if you don’t mind nerfing the brightness to 100 or 200 nits full screen.

[@stefanschuchardt5734]

You mean Black Frame Insertation? Yes, you are right! That would be a great use case! In 120hz mode.

[@desmondbrown5508]

To my knowledge most Hisense U-- models do have 120hz BFI, one of the last TVs that does this unfortunately. I got a U8H for my father last year and it had that setting. The issue though seems to be that it's just not all that good compared to the 120hz BFI on say the CX or C1 for motion clarity. And I think it might be that the default motion clarity isn't as great on Hisense typically as other higher level brands. But that could be totally different on this TV, never seen it.

[@kaiserfakinaway5909]

@@stefanschuchardt5734 BFI is for OLEDs, for LEDs it's backlight strobing i think

[@jamescampbell8482]

@@desmondbrown5508 blur busters has what is essentially called the strobe utility that lets you customize BFI settings in terms of duty cycle and strobe phase cross talk area. If you could custom tune it for 60 FPS or 120 like you can on many BenQ computer monitors, it would be great. OLEDs are going to look better in motion because they have instant grey to grey response time and no cross talk. The problem with a lot of recent OLED screens is that they only allow BFI at 120 frames per second instead of 60 like they allowed on the B series

[@DJPieter79]

I so wish the US had the 2023 Hisense OLED TVs so I could see your review on it. I have one of them and i am in love! I paid $560 brand new for a 55" 2023 OLED TV with more than 1000nits ...the u8k costs more than i paid for this OLED and the u8k was what i was looking to buy, but for that price..and having an OLED it was a no brainer. I think this tv is exceptional and it still blows my mind when i watch movies etc on it.

[@tubey84]

Is that the A85K? Can't find a review on it for love nor money!

[@DJPieter79]

There are barely anything on KZbin on them because most reviews are from the usa and these Hisense OLED TVs aren't available in the USA. Im thinking of making my own review about it.

[@TheFrugalAudiophile]

Caleb, did you have any issues with HDMI handshake and ARC? I know that Andrew Robinson had major issues with that on this TV.

[@matthewweflen]

I wonder what you think of the Andrew Robinson review, in which they praised it on the basics but said that motion handling and HDMI handshake were basically broken.

[@jamillion1062]

Kaleb, I've told people Hisense will trump Sony & Samsung OLED, QLED.. I love Hisense.

[@radioaxe6964]

[@diegomarche]

[@elchappo1320]

I heard one reviewer say motion on this tv is terrible. So its not good for video games or sports. But amazing for movies

[@bearclaw5115]

Movies depend on nice motion handling too. Panning shots, fast motion, artifacts. It all counts.

[@davelzdr]

Hi Caleb, there are some reports with HDMI handshake issues with this TV, could you comment on your experience? Also how was this tv for live sports and low resolution over the air channels? (not just low resolution youtube streams as you mention)

[@Sick_ridz]

I bought a 65” Hisense and I loved it. The sound was good, picture quality was excellent and the smart engine is easy to use. I loved it so much I’m bought an 85”. I have a high end Samsung 85” too and for what I paid for the Hisense I’m pissed I spent 2200 on the Samsung. This TV is very good. All of this set up hassle that’s any TV that size

[@TheBraveheartxxl]

I bought the U8QF in 2021 and i love this TV. Best TV i could get for 600€. When it doesnt break, i have no reason to buy a new TV. But i know after this, it will sure be a Hisense again👍

[@Yoga_Tv_buying]

Is your U8QF a 386 local dimming VA panel? If u have that one then i might have the Same model U8G USA model. THEY are SO nice. Even with minor things..but so MINOR, the over all picture quality n fluid sound so great. Yeah I have been checking 2022 2023 models. Significant upgrade. Ppl have no idea such advanced things exist.

[@seanstrauser9802]

Other reviews also commented that this tv was frustrating as a soundbar connected to the eARC would cut in and out and sometimes not work at all.

[@Belgarath777]

Which other reviews other than Andrew Robinson?

[@jwrice743]

Loved your summary

[@ChesterMan-qd3xj]

I currently own an 85 inch TV, so this would be enticing if I were in the market. However, I would have a hard time spending that much on a Hisense. They are a value brand, and that’s really why a person goes with them if you don’t want to pay the big three premium. Also, seems like a waste to pay that much for a TV with such a sound system when I wouldn’t use it.

[@sirjonsmithiii992]

Good review, but I have seen other reviews (specifically the Robinson's) and I would never trust this brand for an expensive TV. Their quality control is all over the place. I learned the hard way with Vizio.

[@levinile7221]

Andrew Robinson nuked this TV’s upscaling of anything less than all out 4K.

[@JFLTX]

Upscaling needs to improve for sure as does motion, but he overstated the problems imo.

[@asafblasbergvideographer]

Yes, I saw that video from Andrew as well…

[@Hyponx]

@@JFLTX Also you can outsource the upscaling in a lot of cases since Apple TV and Nvidia Shield boxes both do upscaling internally very competently. Also for such a large set realistically 720p and lower there are just limits to what can be done.

[@JFLTX]

@@Hyponx the TV is $4000, it should upscale better.

[@Hyponx]

@@JFLTX I agree, but the general consensus is that the Nvidia Shield upscales better than all TV's basically. So if high quality upscaling is the goal, all TV's fail. I think the motion thing is a bigger problem honestly, since that (currently) can't be done outside the TV.

With 85inch QM8 can be had for under 2k, I feel like its not worth the extra 2k. Even with the QM8 you have to lower the brightness by half.

[@mianlo2624]

Well good to see Hisense & TCL throwing some jabs at each other. Because the TV picture quality is neck to neck. In which case, it will force Hisense and other TV manufacturers to lower price. So consumers will win with more money in their pocket.

[@cheesychester9647]

[@paiman_]

I still think the U8K is the perfect TV, because of its price to performance ratio. You just don't get that performance for that low price! This one is cool also but super expensive.

Agree with Caleb 100%! ... I have a MORESENSE and when adjusting the volume, the sound level increases faster than the speed of light! ... However, I don't use the TV remote much, and Alexa controls most functions, including setting the volume to the desired level ... Why have a Smart Speaker, and press buttons yourself?

[@desmondbrown5508]

I could be wrong, but even if the TV is far too bright, my assumption was that for the longevity of the TV that's a good thing. After all, what degrades with age on all types of LCD panels is brightness. If you have a higher default brightness threshold possible, I'd assume if you just enjoy say 1200 nits, then you could continue to use that brightness setting for 3 times as long on this TV (assuming something else didn't go wrong first).

[@jasonmceeable]

Motion is a severe issue on my Hisense 100inch U8K it is unwatchable while watching sports. Low bit sources and older content also really struggle. Now when fed 4k it looks stunning. Too many Qc problems with my unit.

[@Boostlagg]

motion issues is because anything below 60fps it will be choppy due to the high refresh rate. Same issue with OLED tvs. Sometimes a fast response is a bad thing. Look at all the reviews of oled on rting or newer lcd tvs. Fast pixel response means no blur

Caleb, another well balanced review. The UX seems to be an attempt by Hisense on making a novelty TV; It's in limited production, a monster bright picture (wipe on some sun screen and where those shades), but unfortunately video processing is very under whelming (per current consensus) and overall buggy. Based on Hisense's track record for firmware/software stability and support, I would expect the packaging box to have better reliability, durability and longevity.,

Does anyone remember the Samsung the Terrace outdoor TV? The Hisense 85UX sounds like its worthy successor. If you are willing to sacrifice color accuracy, HDR PQ EOTF tracking, HDR gradiant handling, HDR color volume, HDR color gamut, and Dolby Vision performance all for brightness, contrast, and built-in audio, the Hisense 85UX is for you. Being that the Hisense UX is designed for indoors, if you wish to use it outdoors, cover it with acousticly transparent, weather proof material. Good luck guys.

[@birdtj82]

THEY do NOT have Color accuracy issue. Digital Trends --Caleb Denison Avertly : SETS Hisense U8H U8K to WARM1(agreesive yellow) from original OUT of box (warm2) . N he puts Hisense in Film Maker mode. ITS a mode originally made for OLED Tv but destroys MINI LED visual. Cuz it shuts off 100% upscaling for color/motion/black level. THEn ON TOP-- he PUTs Hisense U8G U8H U8K 3 yr in a row in his videos… “SHARPNESS” down form out of box 25 DUNK to “ ZERO”. Yes effectively make a 4k TV look 1080P. Then change contrast down to 44 . If he turn UX Contrast UP. It’s not making it more clear. D Contrast in TV means --MAKE the bright area BRIGHTER. So if he turns down “backlight level”. N put on Film Maker mode. To cause a mush flat illusion, then not TURN DOWN black level. To keep black level blown out grey (its for BRIGHT DAY LIGHT when mid day lunch time) . Like then “let me do a test “ on a low resolution ---knowing it HAS NO UPSCALING AT all. It’s at “OFF” but i am going to put it beside SONY X90L. N suddenly “U8K(upscale set to OFF) UPscaling is NOT as good as X90L”. Dude he DOWN SCALED Hisense including UX. WE are BLIND if we dont see it. In his 3 yr in a row HIsense Videos. I only NOTICED 12 months later cuz i buy d TV, at home do NOT LOOK like anything matching his Reveiws. Oh wait he make sure the “MoTION == set to “OFF “ form out of box “MEDIUM” Dude. If u are talking about -testing a TV when “shut off” major upscaling , ooops i meant NOT MAJOR upscaling but 100% upscaling, n on top adding a weird yellow tone, then UN-sharpen it. Then Make review on KZbin. Do U really thing they would have changed some other colors like white balance n etc. in the video??? Like Have u heard huge KZbinr Illuminati ??? A lot of things similar is happening with DT in their videos last a few yrs. Prob happening for long time. Dude those ar his own settings. I am doing that to my own tv right now.

[@Tridaak]

I wish they made this TV in a smaller size, like a 65in. I would love a nice, large, and good sounding TV for the bedroom, because of the limited space, I don't want to be putting speakers and running cables. So this seems so perfect for that... However, the speakers (which is a selling point) is diminished when it comes to it being the main living room TV. Not only does it impact the way the TV looks, but a lot of people have dedicated sound systems in their living rooms. So I'm paying extra for a feature I don't need... that also makes the product look worse.

[@Yoga_Tv_buying]

They did Make that and sold in Europe, they are sold out tho i think. Earlier this year I heard someone in UK said they had it in 65”. I looked it up too. N i was so envious cuz I WAS GOING TO BUY this tv if had in 75”. Had money ready.

[@lvproductionsinc9748]

The tv was built to look great on paper, hit most bench mark test and have great backlight control at minimum but not hit the mark when actually watching tv content. That’s crazy especially at 4k and watching content is the most important aspect for why u want a tv with all the specs. Legit just again another tv that builds hype and all the excitement with tech and spec but a let down when actually watching it and making it an investment expecting high levels of PQ.

[@aquaneon8012]

the tv is very good for 4k hdr. not so good for regular cable tv watching.

[@chriskelly1740]

The Rtings review became available to the public sometime between last night and this morning. It excels in HDR brightness, HDR color gamut, and HDR color volume. It lacks in PQ EOTF tracking, pre calibration color accuracy, and, even after all Hisense put into it, the built-in audio system. I am not trying to make everyone think that the make and model I prefer is THE end-all-be-all solution. Nothing to do with money. I would have paid $2,000 for a 55-inch and sat closer to it if the Rtings measurements were much better. Even though this TV is out of my price range, I was really hoping it would do well, especially after how well the U8H and U8K did. As an audio/video home theater enthusiast, I'm quite disappointed, especially considering the price. If all you want to do is watch HDR sports outdoors during the summer and don't care about movies or how good they look, then the Hisense UX is for you. Just get some weather proof material to cover its chassis and everything around the screen and you're good to go.

Caleb, you are perhaps the best reviewer around and I always learn/enjoy from your presentations. My LG OLED is already too bright. I cannot believe a TV in a normal environment needs to be this bright...perhaps it would look good outside by the pool, it could then compete with the sun. Maybe some sunscreen for a viewer's eyes would then be in order.

[@chiefgeek2020]

Have you ever put out a video on calibrating a TV? I want to buy calibration tool (can't tell which ones to get these days nor do I understand the process of adjusting the tv)

[@Sas-wk9lj]

One thing is always probably consciously omitted is how much of heat energy dissipation due to so many backlit led's and brightness/intensity after say 2 hours of viewing. Can we keep it on 6-8 hours a day and assure the room will not turn into a furnace? Just for the same reason why plasma TV technology used to be so much critized and also for being bulky and heavy. lol. Won't 75"x46" sq area of light cannon hurt the eyes from binge watching?

[@Barbarapape]

At the risk of repeating myself many times, Hisense does not sell the same spec TV's in anywhere else except the USA. Until it does they are best avoided, and this comes from personal experience. Stick with the established barnds until they solve their inconsistant quality and fix the HDMi problems.

[@DJPieter79]

I don't agree at all. Im not in the states and im on my 5th Hisense (i upgrade myself often) currently on one of their OLEDs (not available in the US) and all 5 i had were excellent and had no issues

[@Barbarapape]

Not my experience of them, i had 3 samples of the same model and they all had the same issue Hisense do not have a fix for the HDMI issue, if you do some research this will prove that i am right. @@DJPieter79

[@stepheng8779]

​@@DJPieter79😂 you don't agree but you do. You admit you bought a TV model they don't do in the US. Same as TCL good models in America rubbish in the UK & Europe.

[@DJPieter79]

@@stepheng8779 no im saying any hisense sold in any other country than the US is just as good as the one's sold in the US. Americans always think everything they have is better that side

[@craigaust3306]

@@DJPieter79 That’s a huge over-generalization. I am American, but I own British speakers by choice.

[@aaronking8694]

...and how much heat and power draw is accompanying this TV?

[@Caleb_Denison]

A fair amount of heat. Unsure on power draw outside of eco mode.

[@s.barasa]

This or TCL qm8??

[@polishdude001]

I big software update should fix most problems

[@mayo4rus]

Thanks for this video really appreciated but I Need your help @caleb denison....I'm thinking about a 75 inch and had my heart set on the u8k.... But I've heard this size is worse off than the smaller 65 inch... Should I just get a 75 inch tcl qm8 instead.... It's $100 more but looking like it might be worth it... Thanks in advance for your help

[@birdtj82]

U should ask Fomo or Steve Tech Therapy or Qtv for that. Cuz if u ASK Caleb, he is going to switch u slip into:” u should get SONY X90L, Best UpSCALING for low resolution content”. Hey I went to BESTBUY n 2 more stores. I dont know where u get the feed back about U8K 85” . I WENT to STORE and TWEAKED it , took like 3 min . I mean the 75”. It LOOKED QD-OLED> yeah its like maybe 30 seconds teak, then like 3 min is including “fining the 4k night walk video on KZbin “ something like that. At least 3 employees ZOOM IN like:”WHATAA I WORK here. I did NOT know this U8K TV can look like THIS!!! How do u tweak it? It looks OLED!!’. N out of blue the random customer behind me came over like :”excuse me do u work here? What is that tv??? U are tweaking it?” (Cuz i am thinking of buying it, I have HIsens already 65’ i am tyring to get 75” cuz 65 so nice at home.” N he keep flipping his head back n forth with 75 U8K n 75 Sony A95K QD-OLED>. For like 5 min, then he finally walked over to watch the Hisense U8K visuals. It looked 3D at night 4k walking video. D ONLine Volice just lot of noise, d 75” at Bestbuy website holds high 4.8/5 rating ppl talking its bad cuz they HAVE NOT BOUGHT IT. D ppl bought it are all giving very high Rtings on Bestbuy. Me with 2 VA Panels…last 3 yrs. I CAN NOT TELL i could NOT TELL 75” is different. Its Snappy deep black vibrant. Most of all its VIBRANT n GLOSSY. U have to tweak it tho. And I head it plays better color on video games. I even turn on youtube Chanel. Wavywebsurf. That guy always has vibrant background n close up face to the camera . So i could check HIS HD 1080P videos to see how they look like on U8K, it looked 4k. My honest IN person review. I was playing with that tv for like 2 hrs. (Cuz i needed to decide if i was gonna buy it. ). 😊

[@TheWadesauce]

That strikes me as really uncomfortable a lot of the time. Maybe if you have the device in direct sunlight? My U7G gets into the uncomfortable range above like 65% backlight, and that is only like 1500 nits peak

[@trendyprojectors4743]

I agree that 65% backlight is a bit too bright for most people. I would recommend using a lower backlight setting, such as 50% or 40%. This will help to reduce eye strain and make the display more comfortable to look at. If you are using the device in direct sunlight, you may need to increase the backlight setting to make the screen visible. However, I would recommend using the lowest backlight setting that is comfortable for you.

[@D65Cinder11HDR]

Does it meet rec 2020 standards????????

[@JorgeLopez-xn3ke]

Hi Caleb how do you wall mount this tv? I don’t see no opening on the back only screws on the back will I have to remove those screws to put the bracket on it?

[@SicSemperBeats]

I would never spend this much on a Hisense, their products are amazing out of the box but they dont really last past a year and a half in me and my uncle's experience. I would have to buy this with an extreme warranty. And at that price point I would rather get an LG wireless oled (M3) for a bit more money

[@americaloindia9731]

Please give an overall rating out of 10 for any review. Thank you

[@BUY_YOUTUB_VIEWS_89]

I see sum potential here

[@jpcreech99]

Love my Hisense U8H 75 inch but I have had it little over a year and already have noticed a dead pixel. I don’t know if I’ll ever buy a Hisense again since I’m not to sure about the longevity of Hisense TVs.

[@Yoga_Tv_buying]

I have 2 Hisense flagship. 2 n 3 yrs now. Both survived a move too. My good Buddy got 65” U7H , super happy with it also 1 yr in. So sorry for yr dead pixel situation. Its def not that common. Just a few had bad luck, goes every topic to express it. So it can echo chamber quickly.

[@ShortHandedNow]

Price point is a little much. Seeing as this will be the flagship specs of the X8X lineup in a year or two for 1/4th the price.

[@marksalamon619]

Once again, another TV manufacturer introduces a top-tier LCD model that's available only in an 85" size, which is too big for most consumers. It appears that TV makers are sending us the message that if you don't live in a McMansion, you don't deserve to own their best LCD models. You'll have to forgive my lack of enthusiasm for the Hisense UX - despite its superb performance - since I don't have a wall anywhere in my home that can accommodate an 85" screen.

[@specsbundy1392]

iv heard of the brand years ago but has had a bad reputation for reliability .. can you do a video on general reliability of brands

[@kensingtonwick]

Hopefully their 6000 nit monster next year will have all issues ironed out.

[@asafblasbergvideographer]

I wonder if you can turn off tone mapping on HDR content since the TV reaches such high peak brightness?

[@mdt6453]

With the price coming down to $3500 usd at Best Buy does this make this TV more of a recommendation to purchase?

[@NexGenTek]

New now

[@nihren2406]

I do wonder where the Sharp AQUOS XLED falls amongst all these ridiculously good TV's. And at the same time, if Samsung can rush PHOLED into the QD-OLED's next year instead of 2025, it's over.

[@sunarf]

I posted a comment asking Caleb to please test the XLED.

[@Impackon]

Very good and honest review Kudos 👍

[@bioshock6935]

The most important parts that isn't discuss with the lower brand tv is how long to they last before they break as i have seen many tv out of peoples house for rubbish that tells me something and none of them was sony or Samsung they where brands i never heard of like Hisense so what components are inside them.. i can understand if they was oled tv that outside because of burn in issues.

[@Yoga_Tv_buying]

THEY ARE HUGE. I didn’t know they wer THAT BIG outside of USA till i start buying them recently. Like IN USA everyone buys Ford Truck, RAm etc. in fact NO one buys FORD truck. So what we belive the HOTTEST things in fact we are in small minded bubble. HIsense has been around 60 yrs, ranked NO4. In d world for tv. They are HUGGGGGE. They just NEVEr sold their premium stuff in USA. Same as how VW were selling stuff in USA for longest time but they didn’t started selling AUDI till 1970s. Hisense ROKU are low end line. Theri Google/ Android panels are their high end stuff. They only started selling their high end stuf in USA/Canada like 3 4 yr ago. Ppl thought it’s new, they are like NO.1 in Asia in Sony, LG , Samsung’s own turf. I was super shocked to find out. Caleb Mal tweaked that UX. I have SEEN what it looks like in diff sites from consumer uploads at home. This video is botched. He put it in FIlm Maker mode, set SHARPNESS to “0” from out of box -50%. He put color tempuretre to WARM 1(agressive sunset yellow). Very deliberate. If a TV that’s THAT BAD, an influncer would NOT need to Alter the setting to mess it UP that bad to false presenting.

[@mariannehoogstraten5120]

Hey thank you , 1 question if I want yo buy the soundbar q990c is it best with lg g3 or should I stay with Samsung s95c

[@TheArtOfJerry]

I haven't try Hisense. TCL is relatively decent on their entry level TV.

[@thebeartruth2010]

is this model better than the australian version?

[@user-zl9qk1sg2f]

Good video

[@illogical1421]

I would love to see what this TV could do with Sony's processing power.

[@saulgoodman2018]

On my TV, sometimes the video looks blown out, and bleed into each other. But that's the problem with it being too bright.

[@Belgarath777]

Are you aware that the processor in the UX in North America is the same as the U8H and not the U8K?

[@Yoga_Tv_buying]

U mean “MediaTech” n “Engine X” AI are d Same chip?

[@vladimachado]

Upscaling and color refined its the major problem for Hisense
