Our take on the Hisense 65U8G U8 Series 4K ULED Premium Android Smart TV

The Hisense 65U8G is a 65-inch 4K LCD TV in Hisense's U8 series, using ULED backlighting with quantum-dot color and full-array local dimming. It runs Android TV, so it carries Google Assistant, Chromecast built-in and the Google Play app store. It suits buyers who want bright HDR, wide color and a big app library without paying flagship prices. Against rivals, its dimming zone count and peak brightness are lower than premium mini-LED sets, and its viewing angles and motion handling are weaker, but it undercuts them on features per dollar.
