I've always been a fan of Center Stands on TV's

[@TechSteve]

Me too

[@richardvacanti9428]

Me also. I won’t not buy a TV because it has 2 feet but I always think a TV looks a little bit classier with the center stand.

[@vnitto]

Definitely looks more upscale with center pedestal

[@michaelwyckoff8121]

Me too. Center stands make more sense 😮

[@Trampus10-4]

Had a 65 U8H. Panel lasted just under 2 years. Warranty covered it fully. Getting my U8N tomorrow. Exited!

[@vnitto]

Glad I got my 65 u8n on Black Friday before the tariffs kick in

[@stefans6658]

@vnitto hisense is made in mexico, at least one I got. So, no tariffs. I got 8k because they didn't release 8n in 100" and deal on 8k was pretty sweet

[@bingram2011]

@@stefans6658 I also bought the 100 U8k on the BF - awesome tv.

[@oldewolfe6968]

I have the U8G, and I still Fire Up some of those 4K, 8K, and 12K OLED Demo's for Fun and it STILL Impresses the Hell outta me... I can only Imagine what these 2 Look Like...

[@michaelwyckoff8121]

Happy holidays, buddy.😮

[@glenwjohnson809]

Hisense is amazing 👏 😍

[@jadedgpu]

U8 Video, let's gooo! 🔥👀

[@rythehorrorguy2851]

I like my U8K no complaints but that movie picture looked so much better on the U8n.

[@teeemack]

I am still happy with my u8K 65 inch after a year and half. I was a Sony snob until my 900e died. Might not ever go back to high priced Sony.

[@TheDbduece]

Excellent side-by-side.

[@TechSteve]

Thanks

[@mrrjimm55]

I really like the u8n but I wish the 85" had the ads panel. Thanks for the video Steve.

[@Yoga_Tv_buying]

Happy Holliday 🎉

[@kellychristian8814]

The only thing i hate about the u8k are the legs glad to see hisense did something different with the u8n. Great job Steve on breaking doen both tvs

[@TechSteve]

Thanks

[@efraingonzalez1335]

Thanks for the video you just answered all my questions thank again

[@TechSteve]

You’re welcome

[@MSDOGS1976]

I wonder how many people change out TVs every year? Probably not many unless you’re just rolling in money.

[@kenyongough3327]

Great video very informative

[@TechSteve]

Thanks

[@richardvacanti9428]

Can you please tell me why with the Hisense u8n . Why is there a difference between the 55 and 65 in brightness and other capabilities. Thank you the 55 should be the same obviously not as many dimming zones that being it. I was specifically looking for an answer. I don’t know if you know, but why is the 55 inch u8n only rated at 1800 nits. And all the other sizes are rated for 3000. That’s BS so it’s like if you don’t buy what they want you to buy you don’t get the full package. I really hate that and also why a lot of manufacturers are starting to make their flagships at 65 inch and cutting out the 55 inch option. Not all of them but some of them probably most Sony does it with the Bravia nine you cannot get a 55 inch and so does TCL with the QM8 you cannot get a 55 inch that’s BS. Everybody doesn’t want a 65 need a 65 and some people don’t have room for a 65.

[@CarlosMartinez-mr1qb]

Great Review!!!

[@TechSteve]

Thanks

[@scottivlow9962]

Regarding the 55" size Hisense still gives this model the Leg stands. They are very long and are only assembled in one spot on the TV. This can either be put off or not. Everyone will have their own preference on this. Hisense gives you a flat metal stand on the bigger Tv's so they aren't very attractive but the idea is that they are covered up by a sound bar like mine is. Again they are locked in place After my first week of ownership I went on Amazon and bought a glass pedestal stand for like $25.00. An aftermarket pedestal stand at least allows for some swivel adjustments. My stand allows for a better viewing angle. Manufacture stands are bolted down in place and you can. tell they don't swivel.

[@scottivlow9962]

@TechSteve Hisense marketing doesn't mention to reviewers the difference between models. I wasn't happy with my unboxing because Best Buy photos show a Pedestal stand. Had the feet been TeePee like They would have been better. Hisense photographs one TV and cross reference photos to all sizes. This isn't fair because photos should represent the description.

[@karimkitty1]

Can you suggest me hisense u8n or Samsung s90d?

[@BG-fx8ce]

Is u8k same as u7n?

[@diego1294]

Id like to see a u8n video with daek games, like any resident evil remake, dead space, god of war...

[@IHaveBadWiFiBro]

Unfortunately, like the Hisense U8/U8K, the TV's response time behaves differently with VRR enabled. It's more aggressive with refresh rates above 100Hz, which leads to a faster response time but with more overshoot errors. When the TV hovers around 100Hz, the rapid changes in behavior when it goes above and below that threshold are distracting. There are no issues when running at a fixed refresh rate. STILL NOT FIXED, BOTH MODELS.

[@ericswanson9773]

Need some calibration. U8N it's missing detail on lights. Color is off of U8N. Some of reds look orange. Some of grays on U8N look green. Rtting did point out color is not accurate on U8N. Calibration is needed. U8K is way more accurate with color. If both TV are Calibrated difference would be small. Yes U8N should be better. 1500 nits vs 3000 it should be brighter. Should be noted that U8N 55 inch only goes to 1500 nits. Before showing rtting usually has calibration on there site. TVs would be better seen fully calibrated.

[@TechSteve]

I made a calibration video on the u8n. Just search the channel

[@ericswanson9773]

Thanks just some reds look orange could be camera. Like you said can't pick everything up through camera. Was there ram upgrade? U8k kinda lacked in ram freezes up a lot with apps.

[@Raja-yc5if]

u8k vs qm851g comparison pls

[@Howie_fish]

Mine makes a clicking sound when turning on and off, or switching inputs. I was wondering if yours does the same? Model u8n

[@TechSteve]

It doesn’t

[@scottivlow9962]

From the remote I'm reminded why some people call remotes clickers? My Vizio remote had more silent click responses.😁

[@TechSteve]

Lol, you’re right

[@vnitto]

The click my be from his audio receiver

[@diego1294]

I really want to get an 85" u8n but im an oled guy and im afraid is a bug step back. What do you think? And do you think there will be a big or minor upgrade on 2025 u8n over 2024 model. Also afraid i get the current model and regret becauae 2025 is way better. Thank you.

[@TechSteve]

No word yet, i have a private tour setup at CES let’s hope so

[@scottivlow9962]

@@diego1294 For your use case if your streaming movies with In App TV apps, my full advice just for this use case either stick with an oled TV or if you don't have one your going to need. a streaming box. Look all Mini leds have drawbacks. I get it, you want a bigger panel,and a 85" oled doesn't come in that size and 83" Oleds cost a lot more. You have to understand when it comes to streaming in apps MediaTek sucks really bad at it. Their AI sucks in 2024 that it can't fix a bad picture, and for 2025 they will overhype AI again. If you already own a streaming box my comment won't matter to you. For a MediaTec chip that can't make streaming movies worth watching even with clarity setting set to high and with no local dimming on, with a bare minimum streaming quality, then you find out you have to spend more money for a high end streaming box you might be pissed.

[@scottivlow9962]

@@TechSteve I told Fomo don't believe what MediaTec is going to say about the Pentonic 800.

[@cheerbeerification]

I've got the U8K and I gotta say, any brighter and we're in the realm of being too bright for the human eye. I'm hoping they stop with pumping brightness just for the sake of increasing specs, we're all going to be blind.

[@TechSteve]

It’s all about speculative highlights

[@Yoga_Tv_buying]

It takes 7-10 days for eyes breaking in. Due to larger screen size ! Try not watch too much first 3 days . Trust me once u r used to it u can not go back . Also in Dec it’s not sunny u feel like it’s too bright . once Mayb/June comes . it’s like “ I want it brighter ) 😊 it’s suppose to be turned down at night . Up the color -- (volume ) ! Most ppl freak out over brightness , it’s the color - needs to be UP cast over brightness accordingly . We see things 3D by color :)

[@chrispatsox]

I have a hisense U8 when I can get it to work it has an amazing picture. The major problem with hisense and Sony is. Google. The google os is absolutely terrible hate it! Don’t like google enough to even tolerate this awful OS. Its slow sluggish and the screen freeze on the home screen is ridiculous! If I don’t make a selection in seconds am not making any selections the screen froze. Turns off randomly while watching, turns on randomly when not watching. If I can past the screen freeze the picture and sound quality are excellent Google ruined this tv
