It sounds like the u8n is better in almost everything but some highlights, and once the u9n comes out, it will be a clean sweep. We must try to get FOMO to use his elite/advanced contacts with Hisense to find out when that tv is coming.

[@menacordero1]

Hey, Fomo. Greetings from Houston. I currently have a Samsung 85' QN90A. I want something bigger and better for a dark control room. I love OLED, but the G4 83' or 98' are too expensive. The Hisense 100' U8K is back to $3,000, and the 98' Sony X90L went down to $5,000. Is it worth the $2,000 difference? I also have a Sony OLED 77' X80J, so I know what Sony brings to the table in regards to processing and upscaling low content, but $2,000 is a lot. What would you recommend for size and price at these sizes ( 98-100). I don't do any gaming. I Just do streaming, OTA, and 4k UHD blu-ray movies. I'd appreciate any input. Thanks

[@FenixPajarito]

FOMO the question is.. If you had to choose between the TCL and the U8N for your personal use which one would it be? Let's say that on Prime Day the U8N is $999 and the TCL $1199 which one would you purchase? 🤔

[@randyduncan795]

I just pulled the trigger on an A80CL 65" from Costco with a 5 year warranty for 1499. I know the LGs get a little brighter but I think the A80 will be plenty bright, it has an ATSC 3.0 tuner, and better processing. We use the antenna for local channels, all the majors are already 3.0 here and ABC & Fox both look substantially better in 1080P vs the 720 you get with 1.0. I could've done the C3 for $100 less but the tuner and superior audio alone were worth the spend. Now for the kiddie/surveillance I'm likely headed for the U7N. Thanks for so many fine & informative videos.

[@andrewrae50]

I picked up two weeks ago the 85 inch U8N, replacing a 77 inch Sony OLED A80J - So. I decided with the Hisense and got it for $1999. I was looking at the new TCLQM8 for 2024, but learned that the QD technology is not present in the 85 inch. So that was disappointing to me. Paris for the U8N over the OLED with my room application are bright HDR, low glare, and size for my application. Drawbacks are not as great at night, movies or very dark rooms, but still very acceptable. And not great at viewing angle, however, that’s not an issue for my set up an application.

[@SpinningTrance]

FOMO, do you think the U9N will have brighter specular highlights like the QM8

[@stopthefomo]

Honestly, I think the U9N will be more like the Bravia 9 because Hisense is taking Sony's approach to dimming zone control. At best its specular highlights will match the B9 but fall behind the QM8, however, its shadow detail and color volume/luminance should handily beat the U8N. In order to match QM851G specular highlights, U9N will have to deal with excessive brightness which is OK if they have a mode for it aka "Bright HDR Theater" which would be awesome!.

I rarely recommend these TVs for gaming only because firmware updates change things (good or bad LOL) and it depends on the game you play as well as your needs. It's fine in 4K60 HDR but true 120 VRR is always a crapshoot IMO.

I have my gaming PC connected via hdmi 2.1 to my new 85 inch U8N and game at 120Hz, 10 bit color, full RGB and HDR no problem. I did notice that when the TV is in gaming mode, it lowers the local dimming a bit so the contrast is not as high as watching movies but its really just trying to nitpick... Overall, looks great and I had no bugs with the VRR using my Nvidia RTX 4080.

@@Yoga_Tv_buying i wanna see ads-pro and i’m hoping that once the dimming zones start climbing to the tens of thousands, blooming with ips won’t be as much of an issue. I’m sure the contrast for va will still be better at that point. Maybe i should just get every kind of display. Oled is the most elegant, but it most definitely doesn’t provide the same level of punch in bright scenes. So off angle viewing of ads-pro does better with blooming cause this Innocn display is have def struggles with that. What VA would u recommend? I have 55” qd oled, 32” qd oled, and 32” ips mini led.

[@armylrs2391]

I want to make a correction here; black bars are not lifted, they are as inky as OLED, zero light bleed into the black bars ever. The caveat is you must turn black level to -1 which makes almost zero difference as far as black crush. Virtually all high zone FLAD panels crushed blacks a little bit, it's inherent to the tech. The U8N is no exception but it is no worse than any of its competitors. Black level on this TV is OLED level - you will see zero difference.

[@MrUpscaleman]

You are officially banned from talking about the Bravia 9 until you spend time with the 85. Saw the B9 85 and the 77 A95L at Best Buy today and it's a true war.

[@NexGenTek]

@@MrUpscaleman Right!

[@rkeith7766]

It's a war until the B9 is flanked by the A95L (viewing angles) 🤣

[@MrUpscaleman]

@rkeith7766 except that is meaningless to me because I don't have ultrawide seating. I spent a part of my hour testing viewing angles and it's HEAVILY overrated. There's no spot in where you would normally watch TV that the view is substantially impaired. Have you seen one or are you just going off what other people have said?

[@suedepup]

Since you asked, I’m avoiding the U8N for the VRR bug RTINGs mentioned. It’s the same bug the U8K had that Hisense never bothered to address. Also, I’m very leery of Hisense support. Awful experience dealing with them last year. And then there’s the matter of buggy firmware updates lately according to recent forum posts. I’m just scared off of Hisense at this point.

[@realitybites8558]

There has only been one firmware update so far (65") and most of us have not had any issues with it.

[@suedepup]

That's good to hear. Thanks. U8K owners seem to be complaining about a recent update more than U8N owners this time around. Heck, even Sony burned X900H owners more than once with a questionable update. No brand is 100% safe.

[@szman167]

TCL QM851g is over or tied with the Bravia 9, and cost half the price, not in the lesser league of the Hisense

[@Mike-jm5wt]

I don't trust the components inside Hisense or TCL, they are cheaper for a reason, if you change TV's every few years it doesn't really matter but I'd rather buy a high end model and keep it for at least 5 years.

[@boom78]

Buying a Hisense is risky. Reports of models failing after a few years or with glitches and other problems. Maybe wait a few years for Hisense to get their QA under control.

[@Yoga_Tv_buying]

That’s perception. Consumers r biased (they train us in Markrting , tier n pricing ). For example a few yr ago Apple so skechy that purposely send Firmware update to speed up kill battery in their flagship IPhone before new phone launch . Ppl paid $1480 n phone battery die fast , phone got slow . How skechy is that !!! 😮 why did ppl just forget about it ? Cuz ppl decided they don’t care , they still see it as “Good product “ . 😮 BUT if ppl have Large dogs , I anyone inform them :” small Yorkshire terrier (yorkie ) has Intellegence of Human 3 yr old child . Ranked smartest in small/ toy breed dog. Becusee they hunt vermins which r already smart/fast , they have to play strategy. Significantly higher EQ/IQ than Siberian Husky n number of large breeds survive in speed n endurance “ 😮 most Ppl have LARGE dogs that think small dogs r stupid or happy 😮will get OFFENDED 😅. Especially ppl own Husky because its GORGEOUS looks , wolf like face n Masculine features . “Yo u know all dogs r intelligent , Husky is average to lower side “ that will make them --- reject the TRuth , n seek ppl tell Them what they want to hear ! Human r 100% biased , if they feel towards the brand they will shred or bank/pile anything they want to hear , block anything don’t fit their narrative. 😊 what u hear Hisense fills your Narritive , n it creates an opinion which make us belive its truth. I have 2 U8 , 2.8 3.8 yr in $2500 USD later . Best money spent . My buddy’s parents have 2 BMW bought brand new , both have issues 😮brand new have to go back to shop. My friends swear will never buy BMW , kept telling me he hates BMWs cuz not good car in quality n road handling . I could NOT register lol at time listening 😮😂😅 but “I WISH I have 1 “

[@gorilla6931]

In a couple of years, I would want another one. So I'm good with it. Especially for a third of the price.

[@Yoga_Tv_buying]

@@boom78 reports from where ???? Like others ppl Bad mouthing getting “reports from others bad mouthing “ from “reports from others bad nothing “….. when legit there 10% reports r legit . N the half of rest are known that Bestbuy order Employees calling HIseense bad quality breakdown . N d rest reach confirmation bias n just passing along as if it’s fact.

[@Cyberkid898]

You will see more bad reports in mid range tvs vs OLEDs due to the amount of people buying mid range tvs , OLED is expensive for the average consumer so theirs less reports , OLEDs fail just as much , just don't see a bunch of bad reviews cause sales are lower as most of the average people are not buying thme
