Wonderful television. Great for movies, games and shows. I liked the picture right out of the box. Preset picture modes are all useful in certain lighting conditions. I am more of a cinema/filmmaker mode kind of guy. High quality
tv for any use.

Bought an open box x700, but it works great. Blu ray and dvd movies play great on this unit. Faster than my old player. No issues. Love it. Do not need the apps, they just muddy up the startup screen. My only gripe.

Eexcellent for entry level oled.

I really enjoy this tv for a "budget" oled. Packaging was a little sus, so be careful moving it. Build quality is a notch below top oleds but ok. 2 people to move! You can tell this is a leftover parts model put together to meet a lower price point, but it exceeded my expectations. Good clean panel, bright enough for average rooms and operating system is quick. Less than 1/2 the price of my 4yo lg c1. Crazy!

Meet the MVP of TVs! The award-winning U8 Series Mini-LED smart display from Hisense just got even better. This model is packed with lots of exciting features that dramatically improve the color, contrast and detail of every picture. Think: double the local dimming zones of our previous version, Up to Peak Brightness 3000, QLED Quantum Dot color technology, Dolby Vision HDR and Anti-Glare Low Reflection technology. Bring the sounds of the cinema directly to your living room with Dolby Atmos and a 50W 2.1.2 multi-channel audio system. We even equipped the U8 with a NEXTGEN TV ATSC 3.0 tuner and Wi-Fi 6E router compatibility, making it virtually future-proof. Plus, level up your gaming with 144Hz VRR panel, Dolby Vision Gaming and FreeSync Premium Pro.

Hisense is really coming into their own. I returned a LG g4 77 inch for this tv. It sounds crazy, but i am enjoying this tv just as much for 1/3 the cost. Coming from only buying oled tvs to an FALD LCD took a little adjustment. Took a week or two to adjust to Motion and slower pixel response on lcd. I don't notice it now. The family likes the bright whites and quantum dot colors really pop.

The KitchenAid digital countertop oven with air fry was designed to offer endless healthy and fresh possibilities. With the No-Flip air fry basket and 360 degree air fry system it's easy to make everything from french fries to delicate fish and so much more. And, this countertop oven features the smallest footprint* and fits a 9x13-inch baking pan** to easily accommodate a sheet cake, full one-pan dinner, or up to 2 full size chickens (3.4 lbs each). The same possibilities as a full size oven with quality results in a convenient countertop size. *compared to leading countertop oven brands. **included.

Samsung OLED TV changes the game again with 8.3 million self lit pixels and ultra powerful 4K AI Neural Processing, all for a picture so real, it~s surreal. Add on Dolby Atmos ~ sound built in, the latest Smart TV apps, and a LaserSlim design and get a viewing experience that~s intensely cinematic.

This television is wonderful. I love oled and led/lcd tv’s for their different strengths. The problem is, i have to make compromises when purchasing a new tv. I chose to have 2: lcd for sdr tv/gaming (love the brightness). Oled for HDR gaming/movies. Not ideal.
Enter the s95b.
Its like the best oled and the best qled merged. Pure black and the most intense vivid colors i have ever seen. Any content i threw at it looked super impressive. Even my nintendo switch looks insanely colorful. Oranges, reds, greens and blue in Breath of the Wild/Mario Odyssey…wow! Some shades I have never seen before on a consumer tv. Combine that with infinite contrast and colors are more vibrant, creating a perception that the tv is even brighter. Mind blowing.
The s95b is packed well but very thin. Be cautious in handling, it may get bent!
Set up was easy-follow on screen instructions and then turn off all power saving functions to unleash its potential. I prefer filmmaker mode so I don’t obsess over minutia. Filmmaker mode is still wicked bright compared to my lg c1 77”. Approved. The first time I saw the red bar in paused Youtube videos, I was like “that is the reddest red I have ever seen on a tv”. The last time I remember being bowled over by a television was the pioneer plasmas. And they were twenty thousand dollars.
This television is a milestone and I happily opened my wallet.
p.s., this is the first flat panel television that i purchased that had no dirty screen effect or banding. I have heard others say the same thing. Thumbs up.
New tech-get extended warranty for peace of mind. (I still love my lg c1 77” albeit with tweaks to the settings to get it where i want it. The s95b is great out of the box.)

OLED at the top of its game. From the big game to being in the game, no detail goes unseen. With advanced gaming technology like NVIDIA G-SYNC, you'll crush the competition. Self-lit pixels emit their own light for perfect black, intense color and stunning picture~paired with our best processor for even better picture quality. Only on OLED.

I like this tv very much. I just get more “wow” moments watching this tv than the qled it replaced. Moderately lit room is no problem. After a week of use, your eyes will adjust and see the benefits oled tvs provide.

Excellent Sony tv.

Verified Purchase:Yes
When I met the deliverymen at the curb all they could say was “man this is a heavy television”, That made me smile because there are no reviews of this tv yet. So many tv’s today are poorly built, plasticky and wobble like crazy.
Once inside, unboxing and setup was a joy. No issues whatsoever!
I turned the unit on and was like, meh. Not a good first impression. Thoughts immediately went to Sony a80j and lg c1. Oh, no!
Knowing this is an enthusiasts unit, I decided to dust myself off and dive into the settings. I aimed for the most impact with the least changes.
I turned off light sensor. Nothing changed for my viewing environment. Hmm, maybe Sony’s works well. Will try later.
There is a setting called peak luminance. It was off. This setting is where the action is. I turned it from low-med-high. Ah, much better for my lighted room. There is also an hdr setting for gradation or brightness preferred. Nice option to have for light/dark room viewing.
I use ota antenna, ps5 and Nintendo Switch mostly. Google tv offers a basic tv option at setup that is truly appreciated by cord cutters like me. No ads or fluff.
I popped in a bluray I have seen tons of times and sat back. Honestly, I was taken aback. Cognitive XR processor is not marketing hype. Textures, faces, objects and lighting all had a subtle three-dimensionality. Combine that with Sony’s excellent color and good brightness, this is an engaging television. This tv did not get in the way of my viewing experience. I began to notice the XR processor at work on background objects and textures that really added to the liveliness of the picture. Blue skies with clouds in particular looked stunning. Skin tones and clothing looked so realistic. Man, I would love to see the Z9j and 83” a90j in person.

For what this tv was designed to do, the black levels and blooming are not distracting, and I have an oled tv. Bias lighting may be in order for some. This is not miniLED. I only buy mature technology/miniLED is new to market. Guinea pig I am not.
This tv was the only one that checked all the boxes for me. Lcd.
Hdmi 2.1 next gen tuner. Narrow stand option. No vignetting in corners. Minimal dirty screen effect. Good bright room performer. Great build quality with cable management. Dolby vision. Game mode looks as good as other modes. Good off angle viewing. Google OS.
Nintendo Switch looks fantastic on this big set.
Oled televisions are superior, I admit that. But the punchy brightness of an led/lcd really brings out the kid in me.

Stream high-definition content with this 75-inch TCL 4K LED TV. Native 4K Ultra HD resolution ensures detailed, crystal-clear images, while the Dolby Vision HDR technology maximizes contrast and ensures precise color reproduction. This TCL 4K LED TV provides access to a variety of streaming services with its integrated dual-band Wi-Fi and Ethernet connectivity.
 

Is there any graphics chopping, I saw that there is 120hz refresh and that is kind of low for such a big tv, is it smooth?

It has a 60 hz native panel with processing to enhance rate to 120hz. It is surprisingly effective but no high end Sony or LG Oled.
