Our take on the Hisense U8 Series 85U8K 85" 4K Ultra HDR Smart QLED Google TV
The Hisense U8K is an 85-inch 4K QLED TV with a mini-LED backlight, high peak brightness and full-array local dimming, running Google TV with Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision. It is one of the brightest big-screen LCDs you can buy, which makes it strong for HDR movies, sports and bright rooms. Its weak spots are off-angle viewing and some blooming around bright objects on dark scenes. Reviewers rate it as a value-focused rival to premium mini-LED sets from Samsung and Sony, giving up a little processing polish and reflection handling for a much larger screen.
- Very high brightness for HDR and daytime viewing
- Mini-LED backlight with full-array local dimming
- 85-inch screen at a size few rivals match
- Google TV with Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos

Questions and answers
- Is the Hisense U8K good for bright rooms?
- Yes. Its high brightness and anti-glare screen hold up well in daylight, which is where it beats many rivals.
- How does it compare with the U8K's smaller sizes?
- The 85-inch uses the same mini-LED panel technology and features as the smaller U8K sizes, so the main difference is screen size and the need for more wall space.
- Does it support Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos?
- Yes. It supports Dolby Vision HDR and Dolby Atmos sound, though the built-in speakers are basic and a soundbar helps.
- Is it good for gaming?
- Yes. It offers high refresh rate support and low input lag for consoles, though serious players may want a dedicated gaming monitor.
- What is in the box?
- The TV, a stand, a remote and power cable are included; a wall mount and HDMI cables are not.
- Should I worry about blooming?
- Some blooming is visible in dark scenes with bright objects. It is less noticeable in normal lighting and with bias lighting behind the TV.
