Our take on the Hisense 55" Class U8 Series 4K Ultra HDR Smart QLED Google TV
The Hisense U8 Series is a 55-inch 4K QLED TV running Google TV, with mini-LED backlighting, high peak brightness and full-array local dimming. It is built for bright rooms and HDR movies, with a 144Hz panel for gaming. Against rivals like the TCL QM series and Samsung's mid-tier QLEDs, it trades brand polish for more dimming zones and brightness at the same tier. Reviewers rate its picture and value highly but note off-angle viewing and some software quirks.
- Mini-LED backlight with many dimming zones for deep blacks
- High peak brightness for HDR and daylight viewing
- 4K 144Hz panel with HDMI 2.1 for consoles
- Google TV with broad app support
- Strong contrast for its class
- Picture fades and colors shift when viewed off-center

Questions and answers
- Is the Hisense U8 Series good for gaming?
- Yes. It has a 4K 144Hz panel, HDMI 2.1 ports and low input lag, which suits PS5 and Xbox Series X. Enable game mode for the lowest lag.
- How does it compare with the TCL QM series?
- Both are mini-LED value picks. The Hisense tends to be brighter with more dimming zones; TCL models often handle Google TV and motion similarly. Choose on the specific model's measured brightness and ports.
- Does it need a soundbar?
- Most reviewers say yes for movies. The built-in speakers are serviceable for news but thin for action and music.
- Is it good in a bright room?
- Yes. Its high brightness and anti-glare handling make it one of the better choices for sunny rooms, though reflections still show on glossy scenes.
- What is in the box?
- The TV, its stand legs, a remote, batteries and a power cable. A wall mount and HDMI cables are not included.
- Does it support Dolby Vision and Atmos?
- It supports Dolby Vision HDR and Dolby Atmos decoding. Atmos passthrough works to a compatible soundbar or receiver over HDMI eARC.
