10/10 Tv,got it yesterday after having a 4k Led for 2 years and the difference is huuuuuge,sound and picture quality is perfect,my parents bought a Qled samsung that cost the same and it is not even near the Hisense picture.
I have had this TV (55") for about 2 weeks now. I am not a videophile, but overall the experience is really quite pleasant. Gaming is great via Xbox Series X, the TV itself is very responsive, too.
I've been looking at this tv quite a bit, i'm from the UK. I'm well aware of the fact it's not the same as the US model equivalent. Just that's gotten really cheap here and i'm wondering if it would do a decent job of dark room performance. Not expecting miracles. I game a lot, watch anime and tv shows just as much. I'm wondering for £500 is this a decent tv?
Great review! Not for me though, coz I hate the IPS glow, especially for subtitles - super distracting for immersive movie/shows watching in the dark! 😅
It's really shocking too me how much worse the international model is of the U8H when compared to the American U8H. I cannot understand why Hisense did that - they're completely different TV's.
It’s still impressive panel 😊 2020 top 3 tiers of Samsung QLED panels , 3rd one was IPS -Q70T $800 USD (ON SALE , normally about $$1000 or something )- 55” (i almost bought it ) identical Specs to this one ! This one is 2022 model Hisense already have huge improvements in color n has HDMI 2.1 It’s also comparing to Samsung 2021 QN85A (IPS ) performance !!!-- 2nd highest tier It’s NOT BAD panel . Hisense U8HQ model It’s like BMW X3 , X4 ,,, U8H is like BMW X5 X6 …. Aus has such small population n shipping parts n set up shop wear house 🏠 for population (Equal 1 City in China -- Shanghai ) is EXTREMELY Unproductive when huge import tax ! In USA there is NAFTA trade agreement between US, Canada 🇨🇦, Mexico 🇲🇽. So Canada can benifit d cheap labor from Mexico also d Massive bull order n shipping system thats setuo . In Business school 🏫-- “IF u make product too premium in NEW Market, u will have to charge higher price ! So making it too premium will lead higher price , no one knows d brand ENOUGH to buy Premium product . But they will test on decent tier n decent price . Consumers want premium, go -- straight to their fav brand ! Do not release Premium Product to new Market when entering . But Low price n medium price items ! If u sell top American Truck to Japan 🇯🇵 they will still chose their own NIsan Toyota truck 🛻. Not ford or GM !

Is this good for viewing in a dark room? and how does it compare to the Samsung Q60b ? I also fell for the trap of looking at USA reviews and was shocked to see the South African model is not the same.
Don’t touch these or TCL outside USA. They every time give us a tv with the same name with way inferior specs than USA and then have the cheek to charge us more for the privilege. Nearly all reviews for these brands on RUclips are USA models… be careful
for the price i got it fuck it..works like a charm. I respect people that are good with specifics but for me it looks and works splendid and i know my movies even though i have weird taste in movies...the movies i like look like you are in the theater with the actors...absolutely amazing for the price
I would have to agree, I spent weeks looking at reviews for my hisense TV that I am happy with but still very disappointed as the reviews where the USA version which had hdmi 2.1 yet the UK versions doesn't but initially it was sold with the USA specs on all the consumer websites!
@@BenchHouse Actually, all Q versions should be IPS. That is, as I understand it, the main difference between the European releases and the American ones.
Be warned, most of the good reviews for the U8H are for the USA version. That particular TV is good as it has a VA panel and over 500 local dimming zones. You can identify the USA version as it has a pair of adjustable height legs. The UK version and most probably the European version, has a single metal stand. This TV is nothing like the USA version. It has an inferior IPS panel with only 180 local dimming zones. IPS panels are notorious for blooming issues and shouldn't be in any good LED TV. Also the audio spec has been dumbed down too. A decent mini led TV should have a minimum of 500 local dimming zones to be effective, the really good ones have a 1000+. I bought one, stupidly taking the USA reviews into account. Dreadful TV.. awful blooming, a terrible satellite TV interface that was at best unusable, issues with the eArc with stuttering and glitching sound, worst problem was the motion.. no matter what settings were used and even after a factory reset, the frames would stutter after every change of shot watching HD and 4K content. Very noticeable and ruined the whole viewing experience.
Bought this only to discover it's a dumb downed lower quality version of the well rated USA version... swapped a good VA panel for an IPS panel and reduced the local dimming zones down from 500 to 180. The sound system is also lower spec. Selling in the UK for more than the far better US version. Sent mine back after a few days, awful motion issues no matter what settings are on and off, terrible satellite tuning that took over 10 minutes, awful eArc sound with stutters and cracks, terrible blooming. The motion issues involved a bad frame stutter every time the camera shot changed on screen. What Hifi have slated it for the awful motion issues.
@@matthewsmith22 I ended up going with the top 2022 Samsung Neo QLED. There's no such thing as a perfect TV, so I picked the best non OLED TV that suits me. Got a great price and a free sound bar that's going to be quickly sold on.
@@matthewsmith22 I am a gamer, I tend to play the same game daily, it has a yellow heavy HUD which tends to be a pain with OLEDs. Couldn't afford the risk of screen burn. The LG G2 was tempting as it comes with an LG 5 year screen burn warranty. Checked them out at a showroom, asked to have football played on the LG and there were motion issues/ghosting. OLED TVs can have issues with football.. I watch a lot of football. The Samsung Neo QLED looked great with football playing plus the gaming side ticked all my boxes (have an Xbox Series X) so 120hz gaming is covered.
@@Jezhumberston good choice, I have my lg oled tv 4 years old and after 2 years got heavy burn in. all I can see now is apex legend ghosting on screen 😂 never order a oled again
I would buy it if was the same versiom of VA panel as the US one... why they are being like that? I am normally a Samsung fan, but for the last few years just keep disappointing with bad OS, bad updates, overprice for quality, lottery panel... I thought I had an alternative, but possible... I think I will stick with my modest Samsung Crystal model and my Firestick on it (my tv is not connected to Wifi becase I do not wanrmt any tricky update), for the time being until I can find a decent led tv... so sad that, when finally looks that I find it, is not in Europe...
there are some differences between between the usa and EU version... anybody knows anything about it? I tried to get in touch with the UK department and they never replied.... not a good sign to start with
@@jarekzahary that honestly doesn't matter to me, I've a shield TV anyway (only way to get my TrueHD and DTS-X remuxes on the TV), what got me interested was the panel for the price, and then I found the horrendous h8hq version sold on my region...

@@sj460162 No, but they might have personal motives or uses and don’t always think about real world use.

Best to go and see these TVs in person in a shop where you can demo them, I think. It’s clearly a high end TV.

I need your help. U8H vs U7K. Which is a better buy? The prices seems to be the same at the moment from where I am from.
We prefer U7K, unless you're really picky about viewing angles. Much better contrast and overall image quality
