Does the Hisense have a Mic and what about Bravia Cam support on the Hisense?

[@JeffInDFW]

I had a U8H but returned it. It is interesting how two different people see different things. On your video, to MY eyes, the Sony looks a lot better except the blooming. But the huge one is motion. Your eye preferred the Hisense and I respect that. I saw where all the other reviewers were complaining about the Hisense having motion problems, studdering, banding of colors and blamed it on Hisense processor not being up to the task. I figured they were overblowing it and ordered one. Nope. Holy cow they were right on the money. Drove me nuts. I returned it and saw your video where I greatly preferred the Sony. The first time my wife walked in and saw the Sony 75X90K she was wowed and told me she liked this one MUCH better. I agree. I bought mine through Costco so it came with a better backlit remote and a 5 year warranty. Buying at Costco also means it was never pulled off the shipping pallet and I rented a van to bring it home myself so I knew it was handled with care. After updating the software, it now has a new gaming bar/menu. The Sony processor is legendary for its capability as is it's reputation for quality. I kept my last TV for 16 years so quality matters to me. At this point, I plan to keep the Sony.

[@Tzodie]

The no frills and no filler approach of your channel has kept me watching. Straight to the point without trying to sell anything while providing enough laymen's examples to help the average person like myself. Keep the fat trimmed like you do, and I'll keep coming back, even after making my decision on a tv.

[@davidariza2320]

I highly recommend the Sony over the Hisense. As you can see in this video color accuracy is way better on the Sony and there are settings that you can adjust to reduce the blooming and motion blur. I wish I could see a comparison to this Hisense with tweaked settings on the Sony.

[@MrSagsta]

This is exactly what I was advised by a TV tech. He said out of the box hisense takes the lead, however once Sony is tweaked up there ain't no comparison

[@bryanjones9952]

I thought it was just me and my computer monitor. 😁

[@michaelzoran]

COMPARISON: Those two TV sets were on display next to each other in Best Buy. I saw multiple display examples simultaneously run on both TVs. The BIG difference was the Hisense U8H suffered from problems with "Stuttering" that were not seen on the Sony X85K and X90K sitting next to the U8H. For example, in the demo of Doctor Strange, just rotating his head caused "Stuttering" in the U8H. But that problem did not occur in the Sony TVs. Also, there was a scene of an airplane moving quickly from left to right in another movie. The Sony TVs were fine. But the Hisense U8H, TCL Series 4, and LG UQ75 had SEVERE problems with "Stuttering." The worst one of all was the LG TV with the "Stuttering" problem! The demo in Best Buy clearly showed an example of Gran Turismo. The Hisense TV had severe problems with "Posterization" so you could see the different individual gradient color changes rather than being a gradual change in color. There were also problems with "Macroblocking" that were visible in the U8H. There is no point of having "Superior Black" colors while watching movies if the movie itself is "Stuttering" when people are rotating their heads or an object is moving from left to right quickly. I finally needed to return my U8H. Very disappointing. I hope Hisense doesn't take shortcuts like this in the future. The firmware updates did NOT fix those problems.

[@5000NATE]

Are you going to get the x90k cuz I'm going to do that I'm going to return my Hisense or just get on Olay at this point

[@5000NATE]

What is microblocking?

[@michaelzoran]

@@5000NATE "Macroblocking" is when video quality ends up looking as if it has a very low bitrate that is extremely pixelated. Macroblocking is a distortion that appears in compressed video material as abnormally large blocks of pixels. It occurs when the encoder cannot keep up with the bandwidth of the video. It is particularly visible with fast motion sequences or quick scene changes.

[@michaelzoran]

@@loopymofo I cannot speak about what Best Buy might have done to make the TCL Class 4 and LG UQ75 TV sets look so terrible with "Stuttering" problems while sitting next to the Sony X90K and Sony X85K. However, I watched the Best Buy employees take the Hisense U8H 65" TV out of the box and set it up properly in "Retail" mode. When I arrived at the Best Buy store, I asked where the U8H was. I pointed out that the website specifically said there was a U8H on display. I was told, "We did get it, but we haven't set it up yet." I was then told, "This is the third or fourth time you have been in the store asking about this TV from Hisense. We will get it out of the box and set it up for your right now." And I have to give credit where it is due to the Best Buy employees, because they did take it out of the box and set it up appropriately. The Best Buy employees had their same demo connected that runs on all the TVs. And they also connected a USB card with a bunch of videos on it for me to look at anything I wanted. Each video I looked at had the "Stuttering" problems on the U8H.

[@loopymofo]

So what stuttering problems were they? Side scrolling stutter? Also should have asked them to do a firmware update to the latest version soyou can see if the issue was fixed via an update.. If its side scrolling stutter, the settings could have been turn off upon unboxing that would smooth out the stutter and make it more fluid. That being said, sony does have it enables outof the box. Its a big ask for the employees but always best to judge on the latest firmware version as many issues could have been fixed. I am a self calibration type of buyer. To me only the colours need to look good. The rest can be tweaked within the settings. Also idon't mind a bit of side scroll stutter. Keeps the image intacts with out the settings artificially enhancing the video to much. But to each is there own. My x85c just died and i chose the U8H over the x90k and the LG C1. So not gunna miss much if thereis stutter compared to my first gen 4K tv lol

[@MrRealtalk84]

The sony looked better, actually, from my eye as you ran the demos. Call me crazy, but the sony colors are more accurate to me with detail and skin tones. But I can see that the Hisense has darker black levels, probably because the brightness makes the black levels pop a little better. I like the black levels, but I cant get over seeing them side by side. The sony is my pick. Thanks for the great video. Please keep them coming. As of now, I have a sony OLED A80J, I have had it for a year now, and I’m in love, lol, but I love researching tvs because I'm addicted. Maybe upgrade down the line. New tech is always evolving the industry.

[@raminator157]

For me, sometimes I feel like it all depends on the content you are watching. In some instances the Sony looks better and in others the Hisense.

Hey Steve.Just so you know Sony’s most cinematic and accurate mode is in custom with expert color settings out of the box. I think if you try it out you may find some different results as well.

[@PS40plus]

I was pretty much dead set on the u8h until I saw it in the store. It didn’t pop like all the reviews said. Plus I’m a big gamer and I thought it was the tv for me until I saw the x90k. The colors are way more accurate. I can even tell in the video. And in vivid mode the Sony gets plenty bright. When I hooked my ps5 up to the Sony it was beautiful. 4K @120hz looks amazing on this tv. When I looked at both of these TVs at Best Buy they were both the same price. So I went with the Sony even though on a lot of sites they say the u8h is better especially for gamers, seeing them in person changed my mind.

[@5h00ta]

Man im in the same boat. I was going to pick it up, and seen how bad it looked. Especially next to the sony tv’s. I still cant make up my mind. Is the x90k with it, considering its 100$ more and doesn’t have mini led?

[@PS40plus]

@@5h00ta once I got the Sony home and adjusted the settings it looked even better. I mean I’m sure you can do the same with the u8h but I’m fine with my decision. The x90k is plenty bright enough for me with configuration. The sound is also really good once you configure it . I suggest looking up how to unlock pro mode with the cal man app. It unlocks more customization settings to make your tv look and sound even better. Plus if you have a ps5 it auto configures the best settings for it. Coming from a tcl 4 series this tv was the right choice for me. Hope this helps.

Both are great TV's. Even though the Hisense is brighter, and does a better job against blooming, I personally like the SONY better for its color accuracy. If you're not into gaming, then the SONY is a great TV. However, you always pay bit more for SONY than you would for the Hisense so if you want more bang for your buck, the Hisense may be better. The fact is,once you get one of these TV'S home and set up, and not sided by side, it won't matter. You can't go wrong with either choice.

It seems to me that in some scenes, especially bright and colorful scenes, the hisense looks more vivid than the sony, which was very evident in the burnout paradise racing game you showed. At the same time, in other scenes, the sony seems to have a look to it that's more appealing than the hisense, which I mostly noticed whenever it was displaying for lack of a better term "realistic content" i.e. close-ups on people's faces, the picture of the brunette woman smiling, and other moments based more on real life, including most of the natural landscapes and such that you put up on display. From that standpoint, I'm willing to say that the Sony will most likely have a better picture in realistic scenes, whereas the hisense would probably be more fun to game on. That said, it's very hard to come to a true conclusion from viewing these demos via video as opposed to seeing them myself live in-person. It's a tough life :/ Hard to know what to believe. U8H might be the better picture in a certain percentage of cases... but the reputation behind the Sony Bravia xr chips... the reputation of Sony as a tv brand... I mean they are legendary for a reason, and the x90k is not an entry level model... I would probably sway towards the x90k for that reason alone.

Great video. Good work. This is why I love competition. I love Sony, but Hisense and TCL have been bringing the heat. I currently have the Sony 75X940E, which is still a great set. With that said, if it were to break and I couldn't get an LG OLED 77C2, I would get the Hisense. It's amazing that this set can be had for $1500 for a 75 inch, with HDMI 2.1 and all the bells and whistles. Being Mini LED makes it a no-brainer to me, because it's punchier and brighter than the Sony with arguably less drawbacks. The color banding will bother some purists, but for the price it can be overlooked and many people won't be able to notice unless it's pointed out. It's a steal, and I hope these brands continue to put pressure on the bigger brands, because the consumers win.

I don’t understand this: Rtings scored and measured significantly better with the Hisense U8H stating a wider color gamet and gets significantly brighter leading to more impactful HDR. But, the Sony X90K looks so much better than the U8H in the bonus material at the end of this video. The Sony looks far more detailed and a higher contrast. The whites also look more white where as the Hisense looks more blue. You cam definitely see the APL brightness of the Hisense but the Sony has better highlights and details.

I guess I'm not too much any subwoofer kind of guy, but picky with the sound. If I bought the Hisense, I would put a soundbar with it, but maybe not with the Sony, because I thought it sounded great. Anyways, I think both of them are great TVs, and don't think you can go wrong with either one of them. Great video!

The Hisense has absolutely HORRENDOUS posterization/banding issues that get even WORSE when in game mode.

MOTION: The bottom line is the "Motion" of the Sony one is superior. Just go to a local Best Buy and see the same demo running on each. You see the "Stuttering" effect problems on the Hisense U8H, but you don't see it on the Sony X85K or X90K. Those TV sets were all next to each other. The TCL 4 series had problems with "Stuttering," too. And the worst one of all with "Stuttering" was the LG UQ75 next to them at Best Buy.

[@LEVIAHAN]

I based my decision on your comment and bought the SONY. Motion stuttering is a BIG no no for me. TY my internet friend!

[@PotatoeJoe69]

Where did you see a Hisense on display at a Best Buy? Every Best Buy I've stepped foot in doesn't even have higher end Hisense TV's, and they never have any Hisense TV's on display at all. I just got a Hisense U8H, coming from a Samsung TU7000. I don't notice any stuttering. Also take note, in this very video you can see the Hisense has much better motion than the Sony.

[@michaelzoran]

​@@PotatoeJoe69 I saw all of those TV sets on display at the Best Buy in Port Huron, Michigan. If you look online, you can see whether or not TV sets are on display at stores. As far as "Stuttering" goes, you cannot accurately and precisely judge the "Stuttering" of a Hisense compared to a Sony when you are watching a video that was recorded at either 30fps or 60fps on a screen running at 60hz. In fact, even if you watch that same move on DVD and compare it to the Blu-ray, you won't get accurate results due to the fact that Blu-rays run at 24fps (23.97) and DVDs run at 30fps (29.97). The way you need to accurately and precisely see the "stuttering" for yourself is to watch the same movie when the TVs are next to each other and playing the exact same content running at 24fps. This is what I was referring to regarding the example of Doctor Strange. On the Hisense U8H, when Doctor Strange simply rotated his head 90 degrees, there was visible stuttering. You could not see this stuttering on the Sony X90K or the Sony X95K or the Samsung Q90B. The LG TV sets actually had the worst "Stuttering" of all in several instances. And I'm talking about their super expensive models. This actually agrees with the reviews of RTings where the LG TV sets, even the C2, had very low ratings for "Stuttering." In all the reviews I've ever seen on RTings, though, the reviewer outright said he found the "Stuttering" on the U8H "Annoying." I had never seen him go so harshly against a TV set. And in those instances he was referring to, it really is bad. Hisense needs to correct that for all future TV sets. The "Shimmering" effect is something you can in fact see when comparing two TV sets. RTings did a good job of showing how the "Shimmering" effect does not exist in the TCL Class 6 TV, but it clearly does in the Hisense U8H. It is unfortunate that problems like this exist in TV sets today. Anyone who spends $1,500 on a 75" TV should not be experiencing these types of problems. Also, all of these problems with "Stuttering" with the 24fps Blu-ray movies can literally be blamed on Sony. We didn't see this type of "Stuttering" in the DVD era, because of the 3:2 Pulldown technology. We heard Sony say, "Having the Blu-rays run at 24fps is better." But, we ended up seeing that is nonsense. Sony's greed to do everything "their way" (i.e. betamax) ended up hurting the entire industry and all consumers.

Nice comparison! What are your thoughts on the U8H for upscaling vs the X90K? What are your thoughts on the U8H vs the TCL R655?

[@DrinkingStar]

I was going to buy the Hisense U6H to replace my dead RCA TV till I saw the U8H TV. The viewing angles and the head-on viewing of the picture and the colors on the U8H were superb. They were as good as the higher end TVs such as SONY. The U6H and U8H TVs were less expensive than their higher end competitors. I am no audiophile or videophile as I am unable to discern the finer aspects as noted by such individuals. So the clear cut winner for me is the Hisense TV. BTW, I had originally intended to buy the U6H based on your review and reviews by others. I bought the U8H this evening based on what I saw. When I got home, I saw your review. The viewing angles and the colors were better than what your video showed. I should mention that I did not see a U6H hooked up in the store so I cannot comment on how that TV performed. The 55 inch U6H was $429.99 while the U8h was $699.99 at Best Buy. I think it was worth the price difference for all that you get. I hope the Hisense lasts as long as my RCA 36 inch CRT TV. That RCA TV was about 23 years old when it died 4 days ago. And again, I give you 2 "Thumbs UP" for your excellent comparison review.

I have seen a lot of positive reviews of the u8H, so I got one. Unfortunately, I have increasing concerns that Hisense is selling mislabeled TVs while ensuring reviewers get a different tv. I have hooked by U8H to 3 windows 10 PCs, all 3 show a max refresh rate of 60 hz. I actually starting looking into this because when I signed into my google account, google recognized it as a u7H. I didn't think much of it, but it seemed a tad odd...plus all of the firmware on the TV itself all has generic names. Finally, when I went to play games the colors were fantastic but the game was surreal, choppy, and kind of gave me a migraine...which is when I started looking into the windows settings. I can't say for sure Hisense mislabeled this TV, but I can say for sure the TV experience I got with a u8H is nothing like the professional reviewers are getting.

With $2k budget for 85", would you Pick sony x90k or tcl 85R655? Both same price for black Friday. Or another option? Great video. Ty!

[@nelsonmendes7551]

TCL bro

[@eman1549]

they both 1999. Id go with the Sony. the tcl xl 85 is 1699 but I would still go with the x90k. watch the end The Sony is clearly better.

[@nelsonmendes7551]

@@eman1549 yes it may be better than the Hisense, arguably....but it ain't better than the TCL. The x90 K is a rebranded x85j ....and that tv has lifted blacks unfortunately. Other than that it is a solid tv....same as the TCL, which is also a solid tv with no lifted blacks.

[@TechSteve]

The X90k isn’t a rebrand x85j because it’s a 10bit panel instead of a 8bit panel www.displayspecifications.com/en/comparison/2a1322ee02

[@felisianuskristianto6093]

@@nelsonmendes7551 that's not true.. x85 is lower mid range , the X90K close to the X95J with great contrast , brightness, color gamut , color volume that's the reason why the picture in the video looks lifelike, but yeah with worse local dimming, still score good overall though (score by rtings) so in the spec range it's upper mid range class

[@andrebunting7603]

I'm torn between 1 of these 2 sets or paying the extra money for an LG C2. Uggghhh.....Any suggestions on if going for the C2 worth the extra money? Mainly for my PS5 and movies

[@d_a_t_w7012]

What u think the best tv to get as for showing clear and movies looking good

[@brucelivingston2220]

When you consider the price difference when acknowledging how close these are, the Sony is definitely better in some areas, but for the price difference? A barely noticeable improvement from the Sony certainly doesn't justify the huge price difference. Also, that brightness tho...

​@@vybo8921 that's what calibration is for

[@tizzi91able]

We see lack of contrast on the hisense maybe ips panel?

[@TechSteve]

It’s a va panel

[@sanjeevsharma-ym7bc]

Looks a-lot heavy on hisense this video Customer review post some usage is what we should consider , lets not miss on durability and long term use case

[@TechSteve]

That’s an unknown wouldn’t you agree. Example i use my TVs a few hrs a-day, some people run them 24hrs a day 7 days a week. How can you rate this?

[@larryburks-zu6xb]

Better get the insurance

[@cnichoyt]

Hi Steve, I enjoyed your review and side by side comparison. We have a lot of SD content here in the UK. How do these TV's compare when presenting SD content?

[@TechSteve]

They are fine as long if it’s a quality signal, upscaling is overrated. Good In Good Out. People thinks that TVs will take a terrible signal and clean it up.

U8H in Europé is not the same tv as in the US, I heard
