Is the Hisense U65QF good for PS5 and Xbox Series X?

Yes. It has HDMI 2.1 ports with 4K 120Hz, VRR and ALLM, so current consoles run at high frame rates with low lag.

How does the U65QF compare with the Hisense U8 series?

The U8 is brighter with more dimming zones and better contrast, but it costs more. The U65QF keeps most gaming features and gets close on everyday viewing.

Does it support Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos?

Yes, both are supported. Dolby Vision improves HDR from streaming apps, and Atmos passes through to a compatible soundbar or receiver.

Is a soundbar needed?

Most reviewers recommend one. The built-in speakers handle casual viewing but lack bass and clarity for movies.

Our take on the Hisense U65QF 55-inch

The Hisense U65QF is a 55-inch 4K QLED smart TV with full-array local dimming, Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos support, and Google TV built in. It runs at up to 144Hz for gaming, with four HDMI ports including HDMI 2.1 features like VRR and ALLM. It sits in Hisense's upper-mid ULED range, above the cheaper A-series and below the flagship U8, and reviewers generally rate it as strong value against similarly equipped QLEDs from TCL and Samsung. It suits gamers and movie watchers who want bright HDR and high refresh rates without stepping up to a premium set.
