Would you buy mini-LED over OLED? What would be the deciding factor?
The technology. I will PICK a 120hz, VA, high local dimming MINI LED, thats NOT RGB OLED Panel(funny color blending )-under whelming , Dim n Black crushing. Paying $$$$ to be -part of OLED club to feel better applies to ppl but not me :) I’d buy Samsung/ Hisense/ SHARP Aquos XLED) n i feel happy. :) It’s BIG win. :)
4k mini led display with the brightest and the most color saturated display with the most color saturated setting with hdr enabled. I have the display on manual brightness maxed out on 100% with autobrightness turned off, power savings turned off, with local dimming turned off it's available as an option otherwise the lowest dimming settings possible with the backlight as bright as possible to make the display as bright as possible. I don't want any part of the screen to be dim at all while making the display too bright. I'm used to very bright displays. It there was an option to choose how many nits on the TV, I would choose 4,000 nits since there are movies recorded with 4,000 nits plus I can turn down the brightness if necessary. Every device that I use with a display, I max out the screen brightness since I don't use dark mode, autobrightness turned off, power savings turned off, screen saver turned off, backlight as bright as possible. These brightness display settings I use are the same way when I use my phone. However, every display that I use with an oled display already have burn in issues so that's why I choose mini led since there are no burn in issues with mini led since I need the max brightness possible. Until there will be micro led displays than the display settings will all be the same with every device that I use with a display whether they are oled or not oled. I wish smartphones have mini led displays until micro led displays become available in the future. I wish samsung still had an option for a curve 4k tv. Ever since I started using a 4k curve tv from samsung since 2014, I love using the curve display and it made me never want to go back to a flat display. My first 55 inch 4k tv was from samsung back in 2014 that had a curve display. The 4k tv back in 2014 did not have hdr since hdr did not exist and it was using an older hdmi 1.4. The 2014 tv from samsung was using a very old version of tizen and to navigate the menu was like using the nintendo wii remote on the TV which it uses air motions to navigate the menus. The 2014 tv was very slow and it required a usb dongle to use wifi since the wifi won't work without the wifi dongle. I upgraded to the 65 inch 2017 samsung curve qled 4k tv with hdr and hdmi 2.0 with the samsung one connect box with the upgraded version of tizen. It was a huge upgrade and I even upgraded my 2017 qled 4k tv to its latest software version and there are no ads on my tv. The only thing that I liked about the 2014 tv from samsung is that it included game fly as the gaming service even though I never use game fly.
@@OledBurnInKing ur setting is strange. Whats d model u have. U are gonna go blind with 100% back light on seriously. So bright
@@birdtj82I don't have a mini led 4k. I have the 2017 samsung curve qled 4k tv the samsung curve q7c model.
@@OledBurnInKing why do u turn local dimming off. Don’t u buy most premium LED so u can have local dimming.
I own a hisense and I love it
Your camera is amazing. Do more reviews of tvs like this. It captures the tv picture perfectly. Good content keep it up
Lol how can you decide that? Even if his camera would be able to capture the TV 100%, you're still just experiencing your own monitor. Lol 😆
This review; simple and clean. Love it! Subbed!
Nice! Welcome onboard.
This tv is amazing. The pic quality on sdr/hdr, Dolby vision, and gaming experience is awesome. It gives u the brightness plus the oled blacks. It’s the best bang for the buck tv. I think mini led is the future.
No, microled is, but mini led is good enough for now specially since microled is very very expensive right now. We are talkin 100k + euros
Great review and right to the point(s). Thx a lot.
This my friend is a Great review! The Picture Looks Amazing 😍 Thanks for your time and effort Mark 🎉
My pleasure!
Thanks for the down to earth 'real world' review - made me feel at ease purchasing the 55" version of this as I too was not sure on OLED pricing & possible oled future issues. Have bought & seen many other standard Hisense tv's & and not had any issues with any, one of which is about 7 years old and still going strong. Looking forward to my delivery of the U8K! thanks & keep up the great reviews 🙂
Lovely to hear!
I got the 7. Love it. I’m getting the 8 tomorrow. Great television
Finally proper review,amazing black level,menu similar to samsung,really nice one,dolby atmos,dolby vision and decent price,well done Hisence✌️
What I appreciate the most is you are upfront about getting the TV for free. One of my biggest issues with YT channels is getting free products and not disclosing that they getting the product for free and then proceed to rave about the product as if they actually bought it, when in fact they want to keep the free products flowing to them as their #1 objective, thus the reviews are really product demos, not reviews.
Appreciate the kind words. The only thing I’d say is that content creators who treat their channels as businesses (as I do) won’t be doing it to receive free stuff (trust me - you can have too many TVs and smartphones!). I can’t speak for everyone, obviously, but it’s important to make that distinction 😉
@@MarkEllisReviews Thanks for the background info. Can you speak to the ability to sell those free those products or giving them to friends
elatives? I personally don't have a problem with anyone be sent free products, my issue is the lack of discloser with some channels especially when a YT channel is labeling a video as a review and presenting it as an unbiased opinion that raves about it (ie Just the good points). I am savvy enough to determine if it is a review or is a demo, but people coming to YT only occasionally seeking good\balanced information are unlikely to detect the difference.
Mark Ellis!, ThanksMuch!
I really like the simple approach of this review not going too deep into the weeds!
Awesome - thanks!
You do very good at reviewing TV’s! Keep it coming. I want to get a 50 inch Samsung Q60C tv.
I will!
2022 and 2023 have been some of the best years for us AV Nerds (TM) in a long time. We've literally had something for everyone the past 2 years: peak WOLED via LG's MLA; 2nd generation QD-OLED; and miniLED! There's something for PC enthusiasts, gaming console enthusiasts, and purists who crave filmlike accuracy. And the prices, at least in the US, have been some of the best bang for the buck, ever. I'm 46, so I am old enough to have grown up with VHS and NTSC broadcast TV. Kids today have no idea just how good their display technology is! This also means I'm old enough to call seeing LG demo its first WOLED (this is the term commonly used for WRGB panels with the white subpixel) at 1080p, and a 55" version could run into the five figures early on. I think this fall will be when the wife and I finally upgrade from a lower mid range LED to either a miniLED or an LG C3 series WOLED.
I am on same boat. U wanna check out d Japanese--Aquos XLED before the C3. I will not d C3, on d rtings.come u re welcome to check the “color volume” test on all the d premium TVs last a few list.
The C3 color volume(which dictates Vibrancy, rich color on high brightness) is very low at like rated maybe 7.8/10 something like that . Like 40th place. Like Qm8 sits at highest (tested) at 9.0 align with QD-OLED. --U8K has not be tested so its missing on the chart but expect to match up. Even last yr u8H , also Samsung 2021 QN90A both at 8.9 at richness of color.
OLEDS like C1, C2 all 7.9 something. N its insane. Even their G2 , only got 8.1/10.
The COLOR n emersive vibrancy butter glossy warm rich tone. Those OLEDs just do NOT have. U better get QD-OLED if aiming at C3. 😊 so dim like 800ish nit. Peak. So not worth it. Losing peak brighnesss losing color volume, n losing on budget. 😅
very good review, thank you. information-rich and no time-wasting chit chat. appreciate it
Thank you - glad you enjoyed it!
@@MarkEllisReviews this TV is 1000 dollars in US right now, seems like a steal.
Good review :) about dark corners.. yeah its problem for some LCD but my Samsung Q7F did not have it, its has clean corners . Its bright TV as well, around 1500/1800 nits but that maybe because its Edge led and .. yeah .
I bought this tv picture quality is outstanding ❤❤❤
I keep going back between this and the c3 Oled. I’m leaning toward this because of the price and the picture quality looks awesome 😁
Bought the 55" u8k which has a pentonic 700 dolby vision 120hz hdr chipset. It's a freaking steal for the price and the picture is simply superb.
For how much please?
@@essamnino9108 It was recently on sale for $699. Dunno about now it might be sold out.
Get mine delivered on Thursday... cannot wait 😍 thanks for the review
How is it?
@@Axam20 I'm always sceptical when people say it's better than what the box says. But it's super bright, colours are amazing, black is black, extremely smooth when gaming, fast menu's, and actually the sound is actually decent on its own(I bought a soundbar with it tho). The only niggles I have are : it's not android based, the UK remote has very small buttons. And I can get the microphone working.
But definitely recommend. This is challenging Sony and LG on quality!!
But recommend the hisense Dolby Atmos soundbar....much better than the Sony I have
@@robiken ive only had my 55inch u8k a few days due to selling my samsung qn95b due to a range of issues. and i can only say im super impressed it challenges the qn95b on every level its fast fluid blacks are blacks gaming is amazing 144hz honestly dont think about it just get the tv. even the sound is amazing
Definitely a great tv. TCL also has a great miniled too. 😊
Whatever camera you shot this video on shows off the colors, contrast and dynamic range of the tv better than any of the tv review channels' vids do! I can really see how amazing the picture quality is and how deep those blacks are!! And that 65" looks HUGE! Which is odd since i'm watching this on an 85"! lol I am planning on getting the 100" U8K soon! Hopefully during Black Friday deals! It just dipped down to $3,500, which is an insane deal!
$2999 for the 100” now got mine hope I’m not disappointed for my 1st hisense ever ..
@@bucclao209 damn lucky! how'd you get in on that deal!? Stock was sold out from weeks ago.
@@TIMMAYY7 I’m on my phone constantly checking every min lol 😂 also price went up to $4k now but still sold out ..
Have you been able to correct for the 6500k backlight preventing a dim image from actually looking warm instead of purple? The intense blue of the backlight can't help but corrupt the color at low light. Additionally, found any way to have color correction actually affect the interface? Video can look great, but then when it's over, you're kicked back to the crazy bright and blue tinged UI.
I'm in the market for a 65" tv and I was completely unaware of this model. I'll be doing a bit more research before pulling the trigger on one, but thanks SO much for bringing it to my attention!
Pleasure!
RTINGS review of U8K is coming out this week! they have been testing it for a month at least so I would wait till then. I have a 55 u8k its incredible
@@darko5139I bought their 55” 2.5 yr ago flagship panel. D ONLY regret was “why did i not get 65” so good! . Next yr i ran to get 65” in a snap. Lol 😊 they are like future prove panels for easily 4-5 yrs. Lol
same here.... LOL today is Black Friday and I have been online shopping because all the stores are sold out
Best grading and presentation quality I've ever seen on a tv review.
Wow, thanks!
Greetings mark, I'm thinking of buying a Hisense U8KQ, can you tell me if after turning on the game mode, the picture settings can still be changed in that mode? Thank you
The goal celebration was probably my best part of the video! But great review too thank you !
Glad you enjoyed it!
New owner if this tv and after 2 days of calibrating the settings to my preferred taste i can honestly say its amazing. Gaming on it is beautiful and much better than my oled c1. Colours brightness and movement look truely great. For the money you really are getting the best for cheaper
Hi Mark. Am I correct in thinking that Now TV is not available on the Vidaa OS?. Feel like the app store is designed to lean more towards the US market
My 65" U8H i just bought back in March already has a shadow dead center in the screen and Hisense support is taking forever to get back to me so I put an order for the U8K...I hope the same doesn't happen with this one too
Been trying to see if a pc with nvidia graphics card would be good on this tv, would vrr or free sync work with the graphics card?
Hello, great review.I just purchased the u8k. Im hooking a roku ultra to the tv. Can anyone recommend the best type,brand hdmi cable to use. Thank you
We have aHisense 55” TV and it’s great, once we turned off the auto dimming which is really weird and annoying. They make a 75” version? Insane! Good video as usual, Mark!
Yes, 75” and 85” available for the u8k
@@andyblakely7576 They have an ips panel though so less contrast and black levels. VA has a narrower viewing angle but is superior overall.
Thanks just bought it looks great
Thank you for honest review. I am going to buy this model. Lack of android is only con
Any idea why the u6k has a audio speaker “pop/click” that happens? I got two and both of them did this. Even at a low volume. I want the u8k but I’m nervous it’s going to happen again.
Hola cual es mejor tv la hisense U8k o la Samsung qn90b? Saludos
So many great reviews of this tv (rtings, wired, trusted reviews, which?) so I ordered one yesterday to be delivered tomorrow. Then I made the mistake of checking reddit and they HATE this tv lol. On 4k tv sub they have a bot that tells you how bad these tvs are when you make a post regarding them. I hope the one I get is good.
How is the vidaa OS I’m a bit skeptical . As we also don’t get the google tv version here is South Africa
Thinking of just adding an Apple TV
Just ordered this TV but am wondering if I should wait until the U8N releases? Any idea how much the U8N 65 inch will retail for? I found the U8K for $1.2k.
Hi how many storage space does it come with for apps ?
Do you have recommended settings for sdr and hdr content?
Tbh, 1500 kind of is OLED money these days(the lower end OLED at least). I think the determining factor is whether you need the brightness for the room(or like a brighter tv vs OLED).
Good review - Hisense tvs are underrated. Ive gotten previous models for myself or family members and been impressed everytime how good they are for the money.
Brightness is needed to make those bright outdoor scenes in tv look realstic
@@dixinc.5507 The LGC3 and B3 Oled 65inch tvs can be found for 1400-1700 and even cheaper if you are cool with an oben-box item. Plus, when they go on sale around black friday/holiday time ive seen the B/C series 65 inch Oleds for 1000-1200. The samsung qd-oled 65 inch is 1599 on best buy right now. If you dont need 120hz, the LG A series 65 inch is 1299 and as cheap as 822$ for open-box(I try to buy open box or refurbished electronics if I can).
With OLED burn in. been there done that. not worth it with the cheap OLEDS
Cheers, you had the TV fairly central in your room during the review and mentioned the Bass sound wasn't perhaps as good as you hoped - likely once the TV positioned about 10cm from the wall - it would work more effectively?
That's a fair point - it may indeed help!
This is a 'real review'.
For future reference. Those TV transport boxes come with latches at the bottom. So you just open the top, get the remote control, stand/feet out, release the latches at the bottom and you lift the box up.
And keep the box somewhere in the basement, for later. You’ll be happy you did!
If I paired an Apple TV with this tv, would I still get access to Dolby Vision IQ? Or is that only for the default tv apps?
Yes you would still have Dolby Vision Iq with apple TV. 100%.
My first Hisense I’m worried of all this brand never thought I would get my hand on one but with 100” U8k for $2999 wanna give it a try … idk how good this tv is and what the issues gonna be but taking a risk
Do those settings kill the color?
I have , just, bought the Hisense 75U8KQ tv , but the user manual is very general and doesn't explain to you
what the various settings are , leaving you with question marks
At the end of the day you don't know if you have chosen the right settings.
Can you help me , at all , by telling me which are the right choices for SOUND and PICTURE ?
I would appreciate it very much.
I thank you in advance .
Tassos
Hes got a new tv 😮
Not sure if you go back to comments on older videos but just in case, how is this TV holding up?
Now the first thing I noticed was how the pedestal stand on the TV in the UK is compared to the version in the US that I have I like that set up much better I pulled the trigger on this about two weeks ago and I absolutely love it I got the 65 inch U8K for $800.00 here in America but is there a big difference between the the two i was just wondering,and yes i have a soundbar sub at four smaller speakers and im just really loving this TV Thanks for the video.
Hey just let u know the US- remote control is SELF STANDING like a water bottle. So u can have it sit on the table without laying flat.
I stick an Apple Air pot at bottom of remote .So it stands up more sturdy, if i cant find it i beep it. lol
Is this the same as the u8KQ?
Is better than Samsung 55KS7000(8000)?
Not sure if the 60fps style is a new standard you're trying out, but I definitely vote to keep it! Regarding the TV, it's definitely out of my budget lol, and is honestly too big for my space. The max size I can realistically handle is 50 inches, but 45-48 is really the ideal. Oh well, the Samsung one I have is still doing great! I'm actually thankful for how long TVs last. Like they don't seem to run into the obsolescence that computers, consoles, phones, tablets, etc have. As long as it turns on and there's no burn in / ghosting / etc issues, TV's seem to last for decades!
I got a Samsung cu8000, my lowest requirement was good uhd picture Atmos and 3 hdmi. Sound is never an issue nowadays as the TVs are too thin to fit decent speakers. Film maker is odd for me as it seems to defeat HDR on Samsung tvs, and I've had 3. Maybe it looks better, but then why UHD? You are right about looking for the best picture, when it doesn't really make much difference when actually watching it. I've had the same problem. While my wife is happy it's on the wall and working, I'm looking at wet fruit with a black background. But put ready player 1 on and we're all on the same page🙃
is there a difference between U8K and U8KQ?
Ok. It’s a great tv but how long it’ll last?
Hisense the new Samsung lg.. Got to say I love my new hisense 4k u8g quantem dot uled tv.. 😊..
I use mine as a TV and display for my Windows PC. When I set the screen saver to black screen, it really looks like it is powered off. You don't see any gray or leaking around the edges..it's jet black.
Welcome to the world of FALD. :D
Hello great review. I have a ?. I am going to buy a u8k this week. My couch is between 9'-10' from where the tv will be mounted. This tv gets very bright. I cant decide if I should buy the 65" or 75". I Have seen both in-store and stood from the distance I told you. Do you think the 75" would be to big and I shoud go with the 65" . If I buy the 65" I will have $500.00 for a sound bar. Thank you for your help.
what did you decide on? I've seen the 75inch has a different display type so am wondering myself between 65 and 75
I choose the 65 inch and am very happy with it. The picture is great. It is in a room with a lot of light. The tv gets very bright and I am not having any reflection issues.
Hi mate, this was first video from your channel that I have watched, and its great. I really appreciate good screen uniformity and its a deciding factor for me when I'm buying a new TV. I already have OLED Sony A80J and its great, but now I need one more 65" for my gaming room and I'm looking at something cheaper. 65U8K is in that price range. I will be playing Fifa (EAFC) and watch football on it (50%-50%). You have said that there is no DSE on your set, and that we better not look for it. I agree, once you see it you cant unsee it, but on that football green screen panning left-right you don't need to look for it, you cant miss it. So, what's the situation with DSE while playing Fifa? Do you see any? Tnx mate.
ordered the 100 inch for $2999 ❤ with free shipping to Florida
I like your mindset re tests because unless you are an absolute picture purest you are not going to notice these things.
For me the main draw is 120hz for the PS5 as my ideal tv an LG C3 is too expensive.
If that version of the U8K was in the US i would get it tomorrow. I like the build quality and remote better then the US model.
The US models still look nice tho. :) :) the images look like $3000. Its strange. I felt like using a $3000 product, then realize i paid like half price for it.
So this is actually the U8KQ which is only available in europe, the main difference is that this is on a stand instead of legs.
It's available in Africa and Australia too .
I got the u7k just a little less brighter than u8k but an exceptional tv. Bang for the buck
How bright is it on fullscreen? Im assuming the 1500nits peak is for 10%
The 1500 nit thing will ONLY be bright on like thos fire/ sun/ led lights etc. so the over all panels scenes prob like 1200-1400 for average things. They are seriously stunning. Cuz u get more WIDER spectrum of pale colors. So anything forest, flower, tree leafs look more 3D than OLED goo.
The 75 inch Hisense U8K uses a ADS Pro Panel that is better than the regular IPS Panel used in the 65 inch Hisense U8K ! Can you review the 75 inch Hisense U8K Please ? 😇🤫
65 inch has a VA panel not IPS
How's the blooming/ light bleed on this TV. Been eying this tv for a while.
Practically non-existent.
@MarkEllisReviews appreciate the reply!👌
Which the best tv Tcl 65c845 vs Hisense u8k??
Please help me
Omg Hisense U8K . I LIKE It so much, i went to store today 40km away to find the U8K 75” , U7K 65”.
N i made videos too. I have not posted tho. THEY ARE Magnificent once tweaked. I HAD the SONY A95K QD-OLED 75” on the wall 15’ Away right facing d U8K 75” face to face . I got U8K tweaked looked identical to A95K. D STore mode is on --VIVID- out of box , blooming, Brightness at 100%, Black level at 50%, n Color at “COOL tone” vs “Standard or Warm 2” omg i feel sick how. The 2023 SHOOTOUT d old crusty beer belly tv GURUs butchered the Samsung S95C n Hisense U8K. Once tweaked. It looks like Samsung QD-OLED.
Hi Mark great review. However, I had the 65" u8kq for 3 weeks, but then I noticed that the backlight did not stay at 100. Sometimes when I switched the channel, the backlight switched back to 50. In the settings the backlight value was still at 100, but I was able see with my own eyes that the brightness had dropped dramatically and seemed to be back to backlight of 50. When I then went down with the backlight value by just one, so to 99, the screen became immediately bright again as it should be at 99. And after switching channels it happened again and again that the tv did not "save" the selected backlight value of 100 . Mark please tell me if your U8K also has a problem with having backlight on 100...? Maybe I only had a defected panel... I already returned my u8kq because of this backlight issue... But I am wondering if I should buy it again because I maybe was just unlucky....?
My guess would be that the channel you're switching to is HDR or Dolby Vision and the TV is detecting that content, adjusting accordingly. I might be wrong, but that could be what's happening.
@@Tphive nope the channel was not in HDR or Dolby vision. It was a normal SDR tv channel from the daily tv program. We have no HDR or Dolby Vision tv channels in Germany.
On the Rtings website they too mentioned the buggyness of the U.S version of the U8K (values resetting etc) which is a shame as it looks like a great TV. It's still hard to find information on the 75 inch version though. Of all the sizes they make of the U8K the 75 inch is the only model to have a different screen, it is "IPS-ADS Pro" panel where all other models are VA panels.
@@d.f.1064 Did you try turning eco mode off and auto adjust brightness?
@@Scootattles sure. Like I said, I already returned it. I now have a oled. The oled is much better.
Turn off Eco mode, so it will be brighter.
is this tv better than samsung oled s95b???
no
The only downside I have is arc with switch audio doesn't work well, cuts out.
Idk 🤷♂️ with all the hype about the U8k but the 100” one I bought was not anything like what everyone review…… it had so much issues and picture quality was ok. I commented on the reviews on other peoples reviews they told me that I will come across that problem, but I didn’t believe them …. Now o regret buying the hisense U8k 100” so I had to replace it back with the tcl 98” was not so much different from mini led hisense vs the direct lit LED from tcl 98”….. I think the smaller sizes on the U8k would probably be better because no one had reviewed the 100” yet… So i bought the 100” and was very disappointed…. It was not so great in all ways
I just bought this tv in au bersion for about 800squid bozijg day sale. Coming in 2 days
Tell me it was a good choice comment section.
the 100 inch available in Canada ($ 8K) and USA ($ 5K)
I just bought the u8k 65" last week. Our stand doesn't look that. The feet are closer to the ends of the tv, and the remote looks like a roku remote. Nothing like what's shown in this video.
U have d US MODEL.
The US model remote is cuter. Cuz it holds in the Palm much cozier. Also it stands UP Right on coffee table, so it wont like clog space. Cuz its so annoying. I stuck Air tag on the bottom of it , so i can find it if it goes “missing”
It’s d same panel, just EU models are aiming for Family n professionals (cuz EU ppl tend to be more stylish). US consumers for Tv, they are aiming at Gammers market who do NOT want those “fancy looking” things they want things minimal .
@birdtj82 Makes total sense. After I watched your video I looked at the site to make sure I got the right TV lol.
Do u like the speakers? I cant go with other brand for a while now, after my 65” Hisense. Lol its just diff experience, better speaker. They sound like home sound system.
What are the main differences between this tv and the US version..
Thanks in advance for any replies
Nothing, mostly just the frame/outside design, aesthetics, and it has Very nice front facing speaker type of thing works almost like sound bar. Has MORE elegant business class built. Looks more business class consumer professional class facing. The USA version has same guts n performance. Just same performing but 😅more “water down” looking- for Gamming community (which is justifiable cuz USA price is MUCH lower than Asian/EU price. It’s below the global Market Hisense price.
PRICE... US version is 100% cheaper compare to EU&UK model.
@@zuti071 it’s not tho saying something is 100% cheaper means it’s Free :)
@@zuti071 It says it’s about $1100 Pound. That’s very close to US price (aft tax )
The us model comes with google tv+ a tuner + the esthetic + low price 😅😅😅
Sold me
Bro, what are you using for a camera? The quality of this video is better than being there in real life. WTF. lol
i think this is the U8KQ model
Is it better than Samsung QN90B? Price is the same
Absolutely U8K, it looks LESS of MINI LED, but more similar to QD-OLED visual. (In person) 😊
@@birdtj82 U8K has a lot of issuies. Samsung is better overall
Does anyone know the differences between the US model (U8K) and the european model (U8KQ)?
Input voltage.
@@airgliderzwhat does that mean??
Is that the only difference between the two?
Not fair you guys get a way better version...
👍😉
The perfect OLED answer would be the LG C3 55 inch. Same price as the U8K 65 inch.
65” U8K. There is capacity watching in size. I made my mistake buying Hisense 55”. LOVING 🥰 it so much, Had to next yr DOUBLE my budget get 65”. Lol end up spending more.
LG C3 has peak like 817-860nit-PEAK
U8K has like 2000nit( tested), on box 1500-Peak.
The REspectful HIghlight is going to be so POP on U8K, to have MORE 3D visual - Dark scenes, sunset
Thoes highlight creat a (visual of distance ) with BEST transitions. The OLED ppl can’t understand they turn their heads away Fixated on a ONCE elite but now is underwhelming tech. OLED so dim, lack of transition shades, so they look way MORE 2D than U8K 3D. 😊
If i dont buy U8K, i am getting Samsung QD-OLED. I will SKIP LG C3. I have gone to store check C9 CX C1 C2…they are JUST not that HOT. :) 😊
@@birdtj82 How's the experience with the U8K?
@@markchristantaguiam819 INSANE. Oh PS. First of all I saw the U8K 75” n hand tweaked in store with remote. Set to like standard/ or theatre mode i forgot which one. But had brightness down to 70% n “black level” down 30% (it is set at 0, which is confusing) , cuz d BAR of blackness is. (-10 to 10+), it needs to go down from “0” (out of box) down to - 3, BOOM OLED BLACK !!!!! That’s why in 100% RUclips reviews. As soon as they give u like 🦧:”here is what looks Ike OUT OF BOX, Tada!” Game over u now its bullshit. N it does NOT look like that. Only takes 3 seconds, okay maybe 5(if my fingers click slow) to make it utter close /identical to QD-OLED.
Do NOT take online reviews seriously. Maybe d Quatum TV RUclipsr he’s good. Cuz his videos 3 yrs in a row match the TV that I bought n seen at home.
@@markchristantaguiam819 Also C1 C2 C3 is like iPhone ---6, 7 ,8, X XS Peak brightness (620-800) , U8K is equivalent to iPhone 14-PRO. N peak Upcoming iPhone -15PRO.
So if u use iPhone 6 7 8 X, stand along from crappier phone, u will be like “yeah so nice< elegant, premium, it gets dim in the sun or lighted room but its manageable “ .
Once u use IPHONE 12pro (thats peak like 1200nit something) i had that one, n use 14-PRO (i think 1600nit or something) , showing u 6 7 8 X XS, u d be like :”YUUUUUUUUK , NO ! So Dim, gooey , Lack Color Volume”. Imagine someone sells that Dim phone like :”this is PREMIUM 550nit, peak 800nit , u get good deal for $1500” ppl use iPhone 12 Pro or 14PRO will be like :”WHAT D HELL, agreesive marketing, it’s NOT premium. It’s PREMIUM like 8 yrs ago. Still good, but not worth like $1500 duah!”.
Yeah LOOK UP ,,,,ratings site--TV color Volume chart. It list all the top TVs with highest color volum.
D ONLY TVs at 9/10 were all QD-OLED. (Peak brightness 🔆 yet rich vibrant color). D ONLY MINI LED were at 9/10 were U8K, Qm8 and Samsung QN90B/QN95B i think 1 of 2.
C1 C2 C3, are all pathetic like 7.8/10. That means even its already dim. All bright colors all look pestle 🦧 flat. In business school. They teach us --PUT heavy attention on good stuff n “oops, i forget about mention the critical bad things” to spike a feeling of “up the value” or Sells d image of “its good for u” to close d DEAL. Once ppl believe its PREMIUM technology , u no longer need to do the selling. Ppl will buy anyway.
Of course their demo , some “vivid something” with black background on vivid mode or something will enticing yr eyes, but honestly it’s VERY underwhelming when u turn on a RUclips having beach 🏖️, forest , lots ocean, grass lands ….u get way MORE dark gooey soup look in store, or mid bright day, not even sunny day. N the like if u watch RUclips, most scenes are bright days, influencers etc , it will just look more flat. The stores will keep selling “ oh it looks in d dark, its best, its this that”its just marketing, cuz it pushes OLED panel out of store in 2X 3X price when they do NOT look that impressive at home
@@markchristantaguiam819 yeah get the 65”. I already have 1700nit va Panel tv at home 65”. I wanted to go to store to see if 75” was going to make a DIFFERENCE ENOUGH to UPGRADE (not visual much, but upgrade in SIZE). Like ppl wonder if they ahve NICE 😊 Sedan 🚘, will a UPGRADE to SUV on Same brand to Make Major jump in terms enjoyment. The 75” was MAJOR upgrade in visual enjoyment than 65”. (Adding takes at least 11 -12 feet away from 75” TV tho.
There is HUGE difference in user end experience with 65” vs 55” C3. Its like All supped UP Infiniti Q70T with 14 Bose speakers, elite handling vs like Hyundai Genesis coup, small. (i have been in both cars lol )
In My Sony Mini LED panel is even cleaner. Virtually no dark corners at all.
What panel do u have?
This VS Sony Bravia x85k?
Absolutely SKIP SoNY X85K. ITS so bad. I have seen it in store it has very BAD blooming. I think its--Direct LED. It’s like the LOWEST TECH of LED like Rock bottom tech LED. SONY use its monoply n prestige to sell thoes UHD in 2x to 3X price. Blooming n bad color, bad contrast. I m trying to help u cuz i went to store checked for 3 yrs . SONY anything below flagship is dramatic down grade, by the time it goest to 3rd tier, u are NOT getting SONY QUALITY.
Tempted to get one of these ....or is better to go lg sony samsung route ?
@@Doesmybumlookbig I returned the 2023 Bravai, HUGE disappointment. I got the gaming 2023 Hisense. Amazing TV after some tuning.
@@Doesmybumlookbigd only panel on the market being seen as the “better “ is the X95L that “better “ by like 1-2% . But that panel has constant Pestle in all colors . Once u own Samsung , Hisense. Looking at Sony ur eyes can’t get over the pestle colors it’s like an immediate “utter inferior “ visual . I can’t explain.
not so expensive. if search for deal I buyer online new Panasonic LZ1500 65" at 1590 euro. But if you search for a lower spec Oled you can get it for less than me
Actually it has over 500 more dimming zones then the u8h
OS isn’t good . Great picture but reliable I doubt . I don’t trust them for now . And no game hub .
you lost me at £1499 for a 65 inch I am in the market for a new tv and been looking at every 65" on the market you can get a 65 inch samsung s90c oled for same price with a free soundbar no comparison
It says on UK is like sale now 1180 pounds something like that. NOT 1499. For 65”
WTF... it's double the price than US version !!!
It's cheper to import US model, pay taxes, import duty and shipping and still save hundreds of euros/pounds.
SHAME ON HISENSE. This brand should be avoided !!!
It’s not Pound tho. I looked it up out of curiosity, its 1100 for now for 65” its about roughly $1300-1400 USD for 65” its global market price. Literally global price for U8K 65”.
@@birdtj82 Do you notice any other brand TV model with almost 100% "global" price difference ?
Look it up and you will find out that Hisense is making fool of us!
Immediately loses points for calling it U8K when it’s 4K
Not sure if it's a joke, but the model name for the TV is U8K - the resolution of the TV is 4k.
@@jayg339 yeah I mean Hisense lose a point
@@jayg339 so are u going to go to Sony X90K X95K buyers :”not sure if its joke, but it says its 90K but only 4K” :)
Who cares. U can lose 10 points, ppl still buying it cuz just Nicer tv lol. :)
Wow really?
I need to know what show you were watching that said "New York" but was a shot of Philadelphia? Was that you???? It makes the whole review crap....
Makes the whole review “crap”? Thanks for your input, mate 👎
