Our take on the Hisense 65U8Q 4K Mini LED TV

The Hisense U8Q is a 4K Mini LED TV with a 65-inch flat panel, full-array local dimming and HDR support. It runs on Hisense's Google TV platform and adds an anti-glare coating, which helps in bright rooms. It sits below Hisense's flagship U9 series but above the U7, so it targets buyers who want strong HDR brightness and contrast without stepping up to the brightest models. Reviewers generally rate the U8 line as a value-focused rival to mid-range Mini LED sets from TCL and Samsung, though they note that motion handling and off-angle viewing are weaker than the best in class.

Questions and answers

Is the Hisense U8Q good for gaming?: Yes. It has HDMI 2.1 ports with 4K 120Hz support and a game mode that lowers input lag, which suits consoles and PCs. Variable refresh rate support helps reduce screen tearing.
How does the U8Q compare with the U7 or U9?: The U8Q sits between them. It has more dimming zones and higher brightness than the U7, but the U9 goes brighter with more zones. The U8Q is the middle choice for HDR without flagship brightness.
Does the anti-glare screen hurt picture quality?: The matte coating reduces reflections, which helps in bright rooms. Some reviewers say it slightly softens fine detail compared with glossy panels, but most find the trade-off worthwhile.
What sizes does the Hisense U8Q come in?: It is sold in 65, 75, 85 and 100 inch screen sizes. Features are largely shared across sizes, though dimming zone counts and weight differ.
Do I need a soundbar with this TV?: Most owners add one. The built-in speakers handle everyday viewing but lack bass and impact for movies, so a soundbar or home theater setup improves the experience.
Does it support HDR formats?: Yes. It supports HDR10 and Dolby Vision, along with HDR10+ on some models. That covers most streaming and disc content.
