The Award-winning Hisense U8 Series Mini-LED TV just got even better. With Peak Brightness 1500 and more than double the local dimming zones as last year, along with Quantum Dot Color, Dolby Vision HDR, and Low Reflecton panel technology, the U8 delivers unmatched brightness, contrast and detail. And, with Dolby Atmos and an upgraded 50w 2.1.2 multi-channel audio system, the U8 creates an immersive cinema experience in your home. In additon, the U8 is compatible with the new Wifi 6E router protocol and includes a NEXTGEN TV ATSC 3.0 tuner making the U8 virtually future-proof. With the Google TV OS and Hands-Free Voice Control, searching for and playing all your favorite content is simple and seamless. Just say ~Hey Google~. The U8 also got more upgrades for the gaming enthusiast including a 144Hz VRR panel, Dolby Vision Gaming and FreeSync Premium Pro for an enhanced gaming experience. And, be2er also just got bigger with the U8H now available in an 85~ screen size.

This is my first Hisense tv, and I have to admit that it has the best picture of any TV I've ever owned. This thing has INKY blacks and with the large amount of local dimming zones and mini-leds it comes about as close to. OLED as you can hope to get without spending double the price I paid. Movies look amazing out of box and absolutely stunning with a little calibration. I use it to play PS5 games and it checks all boxes there as well. Very glad I made the decision to buy this one instead of the TCL Qm8 or last years U8H. Very happy customer

Believe it or not, I just watched this movie for the first time, even though I've been hearing for years how great is is. I saw this on sale and decided to add it to my collection and I'm sure glad I did. What a classic 80's science fiction movie. The special effects were very ahead of their time and the story is a pretty timeless one. Definitely glad I bought it

This was a gift for my step-son for Xmas. Personally, I'm more of a Call of Duty guy, but he seems to love this game. He was really excited about the Battle Royale mode. He says the graphics are great and the team based multiplayer is top notch. I told him Black Ops 4 is better. He said "you're not my dad". Hmmph. I need to check the return policy on opened video games.

What is there to say really. 1 year of service on the best console on the market, hands down. What more could you ask for? I mean, besides wealth, and a beautiful wife, and smart kids, and a fancy sports car.....you get the point. If you want to game online on the best console this generation, purchase this immediately and every time it expires annually. You will not be disappointed

If you want a long review, IGN has those. I will just reiterate what a lot of people have already said...this is a great game with excellent graphics and a lot of stuff to do. The story is rock solid and it moves along at whatever pace you decide to attack it with. Just wandering the beautiful world is a lot of fun in itself, with random encounters galore and plenty to explore in the huge world. One of the best games of 2018, if not THE best game

Great option for PS4

I bought this drive to replace a 2tb Seagate external that crapped out on me after a power outage recently. Word of advice for those of you that have an external drive attached to your PS4: Don't leave your PS4 in standby mode with an external hard drive attached if you live in an area prone to power outages. I decided to give Western Digital a try after this latest HD failure and I couldn't be happier with it thus far. It installed and formatted easily and has done what an external drive was designed to do since I got it. I hope I have better luck with WD as opposed to Seagate this time

Are the 65", and 75" TV's both a VA Panel?? How is the off-axis viewing, when not sitting in front of the TV?? Thank you..

The 65 is VA panel and the 75 is an IPS-ADS panel. I only have the 65 inch, so I can't speak about the 75,but off axis viewing with any VA panel leaves a lot to be desired. It's not the worst I've ever seen, but if you have a wide viewing area it's something to consider. Other than that, the picture quality is the best you'll find without spending a grand more for an OLED. The colors are great and the blacks are the best I've ever seen on an led-lcd. I don't regret buying it at all

If you are running Spectrum or low content do not expect a very good picture. If anyone has advice how to watch Spectrum or low content and get a better picture, please I would love to know what settings to change.

Go into the picture settings and find "Clarity". There are several settings there you can use to improve the picture for low quality content

What is the difference between this unit and the Hisense U8H?

The U8K has double the local dimming zones and it's a 144hz panel. The U8H is 120hz. That's really only relevant if you're going to use it with a pc for gaming. Other than that they're very similar from a functional standpoint. The legs for the stand are slightly different but look pretty similar, and it seems that the U8k sits a little lower than the U8H.

It looks like the bottom border has a larger bezel? If I were to set up this TV with a 2x2 video wall, is it possible to hang the top 2 TV's upside down and flip the horizontal orientation so it has the thinnest possible border between the tv's?

It depends on what you're hooking the top tv up to. You might be able to flip the picture the opposite way using a pc, but to my knowledge the TV itself doesn't have the ability to flip the picture upside down for the purpose you're wanting to use it for.
