Our take on the Hisense U8 Series 55U8N 55" 4K Ultra HD Smart OLED Google TV
The Hisense U8N is a 55-inch 4K Google TV that uses a Mini-LED backlight with quantum dots, not OLED, so it can hit very high brightness for its class. It runs Google TV with all the major streaming apps, supports Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, and has a 144Hz panel aimed at gamers. Reviewers rate it among the strongest value Mini-LED sets, close to pricier Samsung and Sony models on brightness and contrast, though its off-angle picture and motion handling fall short of those rivals.
- Very high brightness for strong HDR highlights
- Deep blacks and good local dimming for a Mini-LED
- 144Hz panel with HDMI 2.1 for consoles
- Google TV with broad app support
- Solid built-in Dolby Atmos sound for a TV

Questions and answers
- Is this TV OLED?
- No. Despite some listings calling it OLED, the U8N is a Mini-LED LCD TV with quantum dots. It trades OLED's perfect blacks for much higher brightness.
- How does it compare with the U8K?
- The U8N is the newer model and steps up brightness and dimming zones over the U8K. It is the better pick for HDR, while the older set is still capable.
- Is it good for gaming?
- Yes. It has a 144Hz panel, HDMI 2.1 ports, low input lag and support for variable refresh rate, which suits PS5, Xbox Series X and PCs.
- Does it support Dolby Vision and Atmos?
- Yes. It handles Dolby Vision HDR and Dolby Atmos, and the built-in speakers are decent for a TV, though a soundbar improves things.
- What is in the box?
- The TV, a stand, a remote, batteries and a power cable. You supply an HDMI cable for consoles or streaming boxes.
- Can I wall-mount it?
- Yes. It uses a standard VESA mount pattern, so most 55-inch wall brackets fit.
