I got this for a laptop that was several years old. Prior to the upgrade it took s few minutes to boot up and now?
25.54655 seconds to boot up! ;-) Everything is faster now, including just smurfing the interwebs. I have given the computer to someone that needed a "new" one and could not afford to buy one right now. This is just a great way of helping out someone. It allows them to Skype with their family and friends during this Panic-Pandemic! No joking. I really does help them out by allowing them to see their loved ones.
So if you've got an older laptop that could use a boost and know someone that could also use a boost, upgrade that computer and donate it to a friend! Pay it forward my friends!
Sweeeeeeeeeeeet? Yup, it sure is. And very highly recommended!
Trust me...I know what I'm doin' when I'm reviewin'.
I would recommend this to a friend!

The Music. It's about what it was like for America when the so-called age of innocence was reaching twilight. The Music was fantastic and this film catches a glimpse of what that was like. What passes for music today is cRap. There. I said it because it needs saying.
Not everything about the 60s was great but the early Music of the times including the Beach Boys, the Beatles, and so many of the great "Girl Groups" like the Ronettes made music that gave meaning to those years. T
his film captures that time. It is worth the price of admission, whether or not you were there.

It looks are period piece perfect. It's reproduction of music is excellent!
I have paired it (fittingly) with a Crosley Keepsake Deluxe for vinyl listening and it does a fine job! As for digital music?
Amazon Music Unlimited plays superbly as do a whole bunch of other sources. At this very moment I am enjoying Harry Belafonte's joyous singing of "Dance Senora". It sounds wonderful!
This was a purchase I made for me. It's not always about me but when it is I get what I want. I think some of you may want this speaker too.

A love story that like so many before it, is at once predictable and altogether engaging. The two leads are wonderful and the supporting actors and actresses are more than believable in their respective roles.
I have seen this many times on TV and since I no longer watch "TV" (just movies!), I bought this without hesitation.
Highly recommended? Yuppers!

This is an excellent film with fine performances all around. The Blu Ray edition is more than sufficient. I say this having purchased a few 4K versions of older films only to find that the results do NOT justify the added expense of 4K.
I only purchase films I either know I will watch multiple times or at the least hope to. Having already seen this film a few times I knew it was the latter of those two possibilities.

This Western is one of the top ten of all time and Val Kilmer's performance is praise worthy beyond the silly Oscars. The Blu Ray is more than up to the film and even were it to come out in a 4K version I would not be interested in trading "up".
Very highly recommended.

Does my Total Tech cover me returning this TV or not? I just reset it to wipe out my streaming services. I give up. Hisense has not done squat for me. I am still a fan of Best Buy, just not this TV.

My TV has a horrid "mosaic" affect on deep blacks that cannot be adjusted away. Also, this new TV "communicates" with my Denon AVR and turns on the AVR and starts turning on media players like Blu Ray and UHD Disc players. I hate this!!! HELP!!!!!

When activating the in-watch phone, will it use the same number as my iPhone or is it an entirely different phone number, please. Also, I currently use a Fitbit that appears to have more features than this phone for less $. Why is that Apple? Thx!

I have owned this for just over two years now and I don't think I will EVER get used to how W I D E the picture is. It is, for me, too wide. So wide that it is nearly useless. Is there a way to zoom in and refocus the camera? If not, good bye camera.

Two questions: I heard the U8K drops the HDMI signal, especially when using an HDMI splitter. Has this been a problem for anyone? I use an HDMI splitter to hook up multiple gane consoles. Also, have people run into dirty screen effect with the U8K?
8K is not widely (if at all) available via streaming. I spoke with my son who is an avid gamer and he said it isn't much of a deal in that environment.
If you split your source you are likely to suffer signal degradation unless you insert a device too boost said signal.

Can you use an Amazon Fire Stick with this TV, even though it’s Google? Apparently the cable company I am joining says they give you an amazon fire stick. Want to be sure it works with this TV. Thanks
Yes you can. I have done so via direct input of my Fire Stick 4K to the TV or via inputting the Firestick 4K into my Denon AVR-X4300H and it works superbly!

What is the Ethernet port's maximum BPS achievable.
I have found it to be fast enough for 4K films via Disney +, Amazon and MAX. My wireless hardwired speeds regularly exceeed 700+ MPS and wired is up to 1 Gig +.
There is no buffering of film or music as I sometimes use the TV for Atmos Encoded music.

And, be2er also just got bigger with the U8H now available in an 85” screen size.
Is this the best tv for bright rooms?
This TV is so far excellent in bright rooms, natural or electric light matters not! Overall this is the nicest TV I have owned!
My only problem is very dark scenes that are CG generated as they appear blotchy or blocked (not from digital latency!).
An example is that I use a YouTube video of a thunderstorm over the ocean and the clouds are horribly rendered. This never happened on my 6.5 year old Samsung curved TV.
If Hisense can lend me a hand I would very much appreciate it!
But yes(!) so far in a bright room this TV shines!

I have a Xm subscription and want to buy this kit to put on my touring motorcycle and use my existing subscription. Has anyone put this kit on a bike? I have a usb plug in.
I used it on my 2006 GL1800. I put the unit and the car power adaptor in the right fairing pocket, and plugged the unit's Aux out to the Aux in that is in that fairing pocket.
I then routed the antenna out of the fairing pocket via a small channel I made in the pocket so the wire would not be pinched, and the cable was then routed under and along the lip of the saddle to the back and was placed on the rear speaker via double-sided Velcro. It worked great for years and many miles.
Hope this helps.

Can I use this in my house and does it come with me everything I need to set it up?
I have used mine this way for years. I use the SirisXM SXSD2 Portable Dock and route the antenna to where it car "see" the satellite.
The Dock has everything you need and runs on AC or D Cell batteries (you can take it outdoors).
I hope this helps!
