Is the Hisense U8 good for gaming?

Yes. It has a 165Hz native refresh rate, HDMI 2.1 inputs, and a Game Mode that reduces input lag. The high brightness and local dimming also help in bright rooms.

How does the U8 compare with OLED TVs?

The U8 gets much brighter than most OLEDs, so HDR highlights pop more in bright rooms. OLEDs still have deeper blacks and better off-angle viewing, but the U8 costs less for its size.

What is the native refresh rate?

The panel is native 165Hz, which is higher than the 120Hz found on most gaming TVs. That makes motion look smoother for compatible PCs and consoles.

Does it support Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos?

Yes, it supports Dolby Vision HDR and Dolby Atmos audio. The built-in 4.1.2-channel system with up to 82W is powerful enough for most living rooms without a soundbar.

What is included in the box?

The box includes the TV, a stand, a remote, and a power cable. Batteries for the remote and a user guide are also included.
