Our take on the 65" Hisense U8 Series 4K Ultra HD Smart Mini-LED QLED Google TV
The Hisense U8 Series is a 65-inch 4K smart TV using Mini-LED backlighting with quantum dot (QLED) color and Google TV built in. It is a high-brightness set aimed at bright rooms and HDR movies, with full-array local dimming and gaming features like high refresh and variable refresh rate. Against rivals, it undercuts many Mini-LED sets from Samsung and Sony while giving up some picture processing polish and off-angle consistency. Owners and reviewers generally rate its brightness and value highly, and flag its viewing angles and upscaling of low-quality sources as weaker points.
- Very high peak brightness for HDR
- Mini-LED full-array local dimming gives deep blacks
- QLED layer produces wide, saturated color
- Google TV with broad app support and voice search
- Gaming features: high refresh, VRR and low input lag

Questions and answers
- Is the Hisense U8 Series good for bright rooms?
- Yes. Its high brightness and anti-glare handling suit sunny rooms better than most sets in its class.
- Does it support 4K gaming at high refresh rates?
- It supports 4K at high refresh with variable refresh rate and low input lag, which suits current consoles and PCs.
- How does it compare with the U7 Series?
- The U8 steps up in brightness and dimming zones, so HDR contrast is stronger. The U7 is the cheaper option with fewer zones.
- Does it run Google TV?
- Yes. Google TV is built in, with the major streaming apps, voice search and casting support.
- Do I need a soundbar?
- Most reviewers recommend one. The built-in speakers are serviceable but lack bass and scale for movies.
- Is blooming a problem in dark scenes?
- It can be visible around bright objects on black backgrounds, though local dimming keeps blacks deep overall.
