Thank You Joelster,Finally im buyin this TV this friday 🙌🏾🔥
Excellent video, you could teach a photography class. I just purchased my U8K yesterday at Best Buy 2/12/24, Im getting a head start for the Paris Olympics.
Settings look phenomenal
Thanks Joelster for the great content
needed to see this. thanks!
Seems like a solid display. Especially for the price. Great content as always. 👍👊
Thank u❤ I just buy mine 2 weeks ago and ur information was so easy and helpful I could able to fix my tv see better and clear
Thanks so much your settings make a huge difference love this 4K tv.😊
Im glad they helped 😊
Hello, great video, I wonder if you recommend this for u6kq as well?
Tx voor the video regarts from the Netherlands
Thank you... I was lot before see you, cause there's not much content about this model... tks a lot!
Looking to get more oled looking blacks what’s your suggestion on settings on sdr and hdr
id like to see more content on this tv. maybe some comparisons to other sets
Warm 1 is the recommended setting for this tv by pretty much everyone as its the most accurate. It’s usually warm 2 for most tvs but not this one
Warm 2 on this TV. Warm 1 is normally rhe recommended value. Filmaker mode and Warm 1 is off on this TV. He is correct. The colors aren't well done in Warm 1. It's like they accidentally put Warm 1 in Warm 2 and vice versa. His SDR settings are top bright with contrast and this is more like a standard human setup, that looks nice and isn't exactly closest to accurate in a dark room. Most humans start at Filmaket mode and tweak in some brightness and more color saturation. On an OLED or QD-OLED especially, you don't need to do this.
@@UhhhhhnooOOo00oO incorrect. Warm 2 is almost always the most accurate. And warm 1 is the most accurate on this tv. I have 2 oleds a top of the line samsung 8k and this tv. I know what im talking about
This is the best budget TV in my opinion. It's a jack of all trades. Play Games and Watching TV are very good for the price
It's also the best mid range and best premium entry level tv. Best lcd under 2000 imo.
Hi Joelster, will the same setting work on the 75inch U8K ?
I have the 65" UK7 and the warm1 is also too "yellow" for me. I use warm 2 in theater night picture mode.
Just purchased theU8K this week...out of the box, Picture Mode was set on Dolby IQ, wit 4 options. How do I change to Theatre Mode???
It sees to be stuck in Dolby IQ withb opyions, Dark, Game, Custom...
Yeah buddy just picked one up myself!
How do I get the TV to switch sound output to HDMI? All I can get is TV sound and when I try to select eARC it says "Available when audio output selects HDMI."
Which is better, the Hissens u8k or the u8kq. What pictures mode setting are there, and what resolution do they have? How do you set upscaling?
Just got the 55 on sale for 699 wondered why some settings say they’re unavailable please let me know cause ive set up the tv through google
Hey! Do you have settings for Hisense U7kq?
How about Dolby Vision settings?
Wow it’s like I’m looking at a clean window wow
On my 65" U8K when I try to adjust Local Dimming it tells me that it is not available.
Hola para Dolby vision es lo mismo? Alguien sabe? Gracias
How does the tv working now? Has anyone had this TV for a while? Can you give an input on the longevity? Any problems?
Alright glad your back reviewing tvs and showing your settings. And just in time I'm going to grab one of these. Not sure if 75in or 85in. One is ads pro and other is VA panel
Do you not play ps5 games on this? Wondered what settings you would use. They are all good though.
Great review joelster!! In getting this tv tomorrow can’t wait, do you recommend putting the legs in the middle or at the end?
Thanks, I like to put them in the middle, it takes less space and it looks great.
Are you gonna review the new Sony A95L when it comes out?
Do have a settings list for 75 inch qm8
excellent vid. What is the reference video that is playing in the background? Also why change the color space... shouldn't AUTO automatically use the color space specified in the metadata of the HDR video?
Joelster,, what up my Man,.. so in your opinion is the U8K far superior than the U8H??
How did you change it to HDR?
I would say one thing: through the setting you're doing on this TV, it's almost the exact same way I did it on the U8H without all the other extras. The only difference for me was the picture mode. I just left it in standard because the other mode made the picture darker for me.
How do I change my tv screen to hdr? I don't see the setting
Just picked one up for $650. It’s badass. Thanks for the videos fiddling with settings tonight.
Where did you get it for that price?!
@@jacobphillips9598 Best Buy , i think it was a deal of the day
@@jacobphillips9598 Best Buy
@@jacobphillips9598he probably got the u7k because there is no way possible to get a uk8 for 650 they usually go for 900 plus but on sale for 800 rn
Hey bud I hope you can help. How did you activate HDR content? I look at 4k videos but HDR does not activate. Thank you!!!
You have to look for videos with HDR support, like this one.
ruclips.net/video/gx0V0MFwW9c/видео.htmlsi=0-YA7lmpKTSCCeqL
Why is my U8H not showing HDR in the picture mode, I stream on Roku Ultra and have a antenna that picks up NexGen broadcasts,I came up on the picture mode setting one time and I never have seen it again
Thanks Joelster.
Hello craig, thanks for stopping by.
Love your settings. Only thing I did differently is turn off intelligent scene so I can adjust sharpness to 40 under clarity…. Thanks and greatly appreciate your video.. awesome job…
Nobody shouod have sharpness at 40 on a TV.
Why does it say currently unavailable on some of my settings
Yo Joel hope all is good with you brah. 😊
It won't let me turn on local dimming on beside that it looks nice
Great video, so helpful. Do you think these settings translate to the 75 inch U8K?
Yes they should work as well.
Even with it being the ADS pro panel?
Hey buddy. Would you recommend this tv or tcl qm8?
I haven't tested TCL QM8 but I heard good things about it, I personally have tested Hisense TVs for years and they still work flawlessly and the picture looks amazing.
Tone mapping is grayed out on hrd content i dont know why
Yeah I noticed certain settings are blocked out why is that
Hi your settings for SDR helped me very much, however I can’t get really good picture for RUclips. Could you do a turtoei for Hisense U8K for RUclips. I watch a lot of Chinese drama series on RUclips. Thanks!!
RUclips will look bad no matter what TV it is. Some RUclipsrs have good cameras to where it even looks good on a TV but most people even celebs in music videos have bad quality most the time. (Not always)
Thank you for all your guide to calibrate this great TV set, I'm currently in the market for a new TV, my choice: LG QNED80; Samsung Q80C; and now this Hisense U8K just popped up from your convincing reviewed. I'm now leaning to this Hisense and before I ink for the deal, please let me know if your set having any quality problems as many have reported for flickering, auto turn on and off, PS5 compatible issues, etc...Thanks
I haven't had any issues and we use this tv everyday, this is one of my favorite tv sets, excellent picture, lots of gaming features, and great price.
@JoelsterG4k thanks for your response, but since I can't wait, so I bought the Samsung Q80C. May not be as high tech as U8K but better color accuracy and more detail sharpness. Love it.
I'm trying to follow your exact steps on my new u8k 55 inch and when I get to picture mode i don't get what you have to select a theater day mode, instead I have 4 options under Dolby vision options
Ahh I found it. I was viewing settings while on the firestick. I went back to TV and settings and I'm where you are in this video
@@dcf3601 Oh ok nice 👌 🙂
Settings change based on what you are watching.
Can you do a Dolby vision video pls
How smooth is streaming on this tv? Are there any issues? I'm contemplating between the 85U8K or the 85X90L since I do a lot of streaming of sports, movies, and shows.
I cross shopped this tv with the Sony X90L. I bought this tv. There was some very bizarre stuff going on. My picture was never consistent with the settings I had adjusted. I took it back and bought the x90L. The tv is amazing. I've never seen an SDR picture like the x90L upscales. Sonys processing is also amazing. I have been currently steaming some pre season NHL hockey games and all I can say it wow. You will not be disappointed my friend. Pull the trigger on the x90L and never look back.
@halfclappertopchedda Since you tried both, do you ever feel like you're leaving a lot on the table by selecting the X90L with lower quality hardware? The mini-led, the 90% extra dimming zones, quantum dots, and all the other stuff? Based on the stuff on paper, of course. Is it better to pick the better processor/ more reliable tv over the U8K with all the xtra features? 🤔
Why when I'm watching a Blu-ray the picture mode doesn't say HD? Is that Blu-ray playing in SD?
I have same problem
Mine has a slight dirty screen effect in extreme situations but overall the image quality is awesome for the $$
Is the hisense u8k tv better for gaming and sports or is tcl qm8 better? I heard the hisense can have ghosting in some games and fast motion sports..
The Hisense is a fantastic tv for gaming, I haven't had any issues with it, the TCL also looks great, I haven't tested it but it also has all the gaming features.
@JoelsterG thank you. I'm leaning towards the u8k since I have heard more horror story's from tcl then hisense. Thanks again for replying 🤙
I had to return this TV, the motion was god awful. Any darker scenes smear like crazy with fast movement, Hisense just has horrible processing.
Someone please help me! My uk8 all my settings are grayed out no matter the dolby vison pre set I use. Even in dolby custom I still can't change anything. I don't get the standard picture modes eveything is dolby.
Have you found a way through that thicket?
Hi Joel what year is your TV because my stand is different to yours. It's one centre stand. Really need your help please
2023 model
Thanks for reply
If your in Europe/UK you get different stand to us
Which size U8K is this? The 75" is the only one with a ADS/IPS panel with a 2000:1 contrast ratio, all others use a VA panel with a >-=5000:1 CR.
..... He literally said it, in the intro.
@@ThornTheaterReviewsThanks, bit late though... be quicker next time. 7 month old post while I've been a 75U8K owner for 6 months now is kind of useless.
quick question. when i increase the briyghtness to 100% my screen becomes completely white. how come yours is not doing that? i cant go above 50% without making the screen white. am i doing something wrong?
Also note that only the content get all white not the menu's
So my new U8K is displaying the Sharpness as not an option to change, so it is preset at 25. Tech support was no help.
I think because you are using HDR, each preset has sharpness locked down to 25, Theater mode has it at 7, and Filmaker mode you can adjust it.
I waited for the U7K and just got it today. It was on sale for $480 55".
Wow, nice deal you got.!!
I wish there was a way to lock or save the settings without having to start anew.
I cant for the life of me figure out how to turn on HDR?
i can only see Dolby Vision when trhing to watch HDR movies?
I dont understand whya im doing wrong here....
I just wanna turn on HDR so i csn use dynamic tone mapping.
Ive tried netflix and Disney.
I am stuck on Dolby Vision picture modes only. Why can't i get the other options like Filmmaker and others? Thank you!
It is based on your content you are currently watching. For example, when I am on my Netflix app it offers Filmmaker. When I am using Roku Ultra HDMI, it offers the different Dolby Visions. I just got mine yesterday and spent most of the evening adjusting to different inputs.
Yeah, i figured it out. Unfortunately all i get when i use my firestick is dolby vision. 😏 Appreciate the reply.
Great TV though!
Hi my name is Dan I watched alot of your videos an I recently bought the Hisense U8 model from my older U8G I live in Ohio an I tried to look up the U8k model an it only shows up as the U8 why is that maybe you can answer me that question on why I can't find the U8k it's only the U8 thanks joester
Hi Dan, yes they usually go for U8 name, I don't know why but it is the U8K.
@JoelsterG4k Hey,Joelster I'm replaying back on the question in hand I found out an didn't realized that I did buy the Hisense 65 U8K I looked at the back of my TV so I mistaken it as U8 the series an the model was 65U8K thanks for replaying back I like the new TV alot
So this or the Samsung S95B? 🤔
Will these settings work for the 75 inch model with the ADS panel?
Try them, you may need to make some changes but they should work.
Thanks so much for this video. I applied same settings to my U7K and the picture is fabulous not that it was in anyways bad before I changed the settings. Thanks again
I just Bought the 100"!!!
Come back and give us a short review! Very curious to hear about the 100 inch
How do you switch from SDR to HDR?
Play HDR content, it will switch automatically.
@@JoelsterG4k what exactly is considered “HDR” content?
you'll know if what you are streaming is hdr. Dolby Vision is an example. Many platforms offer HDR in their movies. Vudu, Netflix, Disney, etc. When HDR is playing the picture settings will change.@@jeremybosquez6468
Wats the difference between u8k and u7k in picture
The U8K has better overall picture, its brighter, it has more dimming zones, but they both have the same features and the U7K is a bit cheaper.
Please show some gameplay on xbox series x, or PS5
Whats up Skeleton, good to see you, yes I am testing gaming with both consoles.
How's the blooming?
Very minimal, cannot see it, but I continue doing more testing.
@@JoelsterG4k nice! Thanks
@@JoelsterG4kHow do you think U8K is better than Samsung QN90B? Especially in blooming control and deep blacks?
It won't let me turn on local dimming
Really best sittings?
Decent settings for the averafe user. The SDR brightness is way too high. Shouod be about 50.
Help!! Cant get to HDR
Try playing HDR content, either from youtube or netflix.
@@JoelsterG4k thanks. Worked. Is there need to get the tv professionally calibrated?
@lila2909 I personally don't do it, the tv already looks amazing.
In my experience, warm 2 is definitely better since I used to have the Hisense U8H
I did everything you said to do and my tv don't look like anything like yours
I'm still using this tv and the settings look great.
En español chavo
I have the 75" U8K and after 6 months i can tell its the worst TV i ever had. And the worst part its that Hisense dont give a crap and says its normal all the issues i have with TV.
I have the last year Model U8H in 75 inch & f*n LOOOVIN IT was the BEST Budget TV of the last year hands down, GREAT bright pic & great in blks , this year not all that good .is dimmer TV , blks not that Inky, NOT good on Dolby vision either...THIS year TCL QM8 took the crown, alot Brighter TV, is 10bit panel , blks is inky, VERY NICE in Dolby vision & HDR very nice TV all around looking getting one on blk Friday in 85 inch under 2 grand & thats a f*n steal ..they got alots of comparison videos in You tube next to each other , u can see how TCL QM8 is better TV in pic quality & blks ..this U8K got the carbon copy same pic quality of Sony X90L & that Sony is NOT mini LED
I am going to test the QM8 next, maybe do a comparison video as well.
I disagree i have the u8k and blacks are inky black and it gets very bright . I dont see how you would need it to be any brighter.
@@tony23807
I'm not saying is Bad TV just a TCL QM8 is a Notch better TV & U cant tell , till those TVS next to each other , one of the video in You tube will tell how it is between these 2 TVS watch the Digital Trends video title TCL QM8 vs. Hisense U8K | It’s All About You.. he made it few weeks ago.... compare the 2 TVS next to each other & will see what I'm talking about , or JOSLTERG will compare them 2 in future
Dude good pick for U8H
U8K vs Qm8 videos r not fair !!!
None of influncers turn Black level(formally called “Brightness” ) down👹👹👹👹
F*led up!
Go back to re watch d videos ! Evey one of them
Black level all sit at 50% u touched !
I went to store checked 75”
Black level is this yr (-10 to 10+) factory default 50% out of box at “0”. They all left at 50% !!!! 😮😮😮
It took me 1 second to grab remote to change to -3 to make icky oled black .
Also U8K is tested at Film Maket mode ! Or Theatre mode (dims it , n Vast weird green film ) ! Its just effed UP !
U have U8H u should know what looks like ! Apply the U8H “Brightness (which in U8K they changed d Name to “Black Level” to 50% , have it on Film maker mode or theatre night mode , having Back light 💡 U8H (now on U8K they renamed to “Brightness “) left at 💯 % on U8H 😮see what it looks 😮😮😮 like ! U tell me 😅
This is the worst there is no Wi-Fi direct It will not screen mirror You have to get a special mount I don't believe the screws for the mount are strong enough very small four screws and I don't like the menu I bought the U8K I got fed up with the crap whatever it is Korean or Taiwan whatever they just don't know Americans so I took it back
You doing ok?
TURN OF MOTION SETTINGS! Nobody likes soap opera effect.
I do, and a lot of people do as well, I hate stuttering.
Why no super resolution?
bro these tv are way more exåensive here in Norway like the u8k 65 inch is 2200 dollars
Eh... Filmmaker Mode is for cinema anyways. Since that's mostly what i watch, Filmmaker mode is perfect for HDR10, Dolby Vision Dark for DV content, and theater night for SDR.
Both Filmmaker Mode and Dolby Vision Dark don't require any sort of calibrating and give you an accurate image of the director's intended vision. That means natural looking colors and warm1 to give the 6500 Kelvin white level and brightness level is balanced. I don't want my tv to pop like a store demo... No offense.
For everything else, sports, games, regular TV, pick your poison. I wouldn't use those ^settings up there for those options.
