      Hey, Caleb. Greetings from Houston. I currently have a Samsung 85' QN90A. I want something bigger and better for a dark contro room. I love OLED, but the G4 83' or 98' are too expensive. The Hisense 100' U8K is back to $3,000, and the 98' Sony X90L went down to $5,000. Is it worth the $2,000 difference? I love my 77 Sony OLED X80J, so I know what Sony brings to the table in regards to processing and upscaling low content, but $2,000 is a lot. What would you recommend for size and price at these sizes ( 98-100). I don't do any gaming. I Just do streaming, OTA, and 4k UHD blu-ray movies. Thanks for your input.

      Hisense U8K 75 inch is a GREAT TV with a 𝐒𝐇𝐎𝐑𝐓 lifespan. Usually at about 10 months of ownership the TV will start having glitches that will increase over time. At about the 13-15 month mark is when the screen will go black or show lines. I have owned THREE of them (2 75inch U8K and 1 65inch U7k). Now Im back to LG. Hisense customer support is non existent

    Great review Caleb, As Always!! Have you heard anything about when the 85" and the 100" versions of the U8K will release? Hisense website shows sizes from 55 to 100 at the bottom of the U8K page; but at the top only says coming soon for the 55" to 75" (while those sizes are already available). Are we talking super late release for the 85" and 100" this year? Thanks!

    Thx for adding this! Could you plz always add off axis color accuracy to your reviews? If you have to be at exactly perpendicular to the screen surface, that doesn't cover most people's viewing angle. The U8H is notorious for bad off axis accuracy and is a drag and frustrating that nobody was reporting on that in any review I saw.

    Hi Caleb. I love your reviews (and laugh when I see the blocked out **** logo)! I hope that you can add the Sony X93L and maybe the X90L to the mix when you compare the U8K and QM8. I'm in the market for a new TV and these are at the top of my list considering performance and budget. Motion, upscaling and low bit rate handling are as important to me as brightness. The S90C may be in the mix too but only if the deals get very good by Black Friday. Thanks for all the great info, I really appreciate it and look forward to the upcoming comparisons!

    I just bought this TV in the 55 inch, thanks for the great video, along with the Bose Soundbar 600. I am wondering if you provide advice on how to set up both of these items with Apple TV (3rd Generation).
    U8K 55 - HDMI 3 - Enhanced HDMI (designated for eARC)
    HDMI 4 - Enhanced HDMI
    Bose Soundbar 600 - Only 1 HDMI port and its eARC supported.
    Right now I have it setup like this and was wondering if this is correct?
    Apple TV -> HDMI 4
    Bose soundbar 600 -> HDMI 3 (eARC)
    I typically watch TV on HDMI 4 to use Apple TV and was wondering if this the right way to set this up and get the most out of the soundbar and TV. To me, something seems off, but not exactly sure.

    • @birdtj82
      @birdtj82 Год назад +5

      Okay since I HAVE HAVE HAVE 2 panels of Hisense VA…it’s INSANE. Their TV quality is prob d BEST I have come cross. (I had a $3000 made in japan panel before ). Yeah and after i got my Hisense 55” 65” VA panels. I went to Bestbuy to test tv sound bar. I tried the $300 BOSE small sound bar sounded like crap. I had to go up to like $800 large sound bars to Beat it. Cuz in between there not much mid tier sound bars, n just no point to even do to Just match.
      Yeah…so my proper feed back since i own 2 Hisense TVs. ($2400 in combine 2 panels). They are BEST for theater experience. Their sound is Fluid , loud punch but all sorts of smooth texture in it. I play a LOT OF RUclips music, so when it gets loud, d tv does NOT vibrate d ROOM or annoying my chest like low end cheap tv/speakers do. 😮 cheaper TVs. Will have sappy sounds. Hisense flagship panels are like loud butter fluid but clear. .

    • @MrDanofthewest
      @MrDanofthewest Год назад +5

      I read the online review and they mentioned the sound. That was enough to sell me on it. I picked up the 65inch and it's the best sounding flat panel TV I've heard. Its better than any budget soundbar. The highs get rounded off at high volumes and the (actual) bass is tight. I thought flat panels would never sound good.

    @chromamaster6147 Год назад +7

    Caleb, thank you very much for an insightful review of the U8K. Reviews tracking Hisense's progress were about all I had to go on when considering purchasing a 85UX sight unseen (but then again, there were no X95L's available to see either). I wanted to mention that like you, I also tried switching to Warm2, but found it presented a very cool image - and the difference was not subtle. Overall I've been very pleased my purchase. The images are so detailed that I think that micro contrast might be the best of any LED set. Add to that a large dynamic range with inky blacks and a strong 3D aspect. Despite the limited availability, I hope that someday you will be able to review this advanced tech. Thanks again.

      Hisense was like BROKE our TV perception of “what’s premium”. My Husband ran got 2nd panel double d budget 1 yr later. They are VERY premium. 😊 i mean their flagship Android/google panel.
      Often ppl mistake them with the --low end ROKU tv that they sell in Walmart. ROKU is their cheap ass line. Their premium panels are only sold maybe Bestbuy/Costco/Amazon. ..very few places.

      I went back to Bestbuy with my husband too. He looked around very mad at SONY/LG, till he saw S95B hanging saying “that’s d ONLY NICE ONE”. Lol I was like:”lol thats S95B QD OLED”
      YEAH literally like U8H was about 98% of S95B-seeing in person. I am NOT SURE about U8K . But from what I saw here, like seem Neck n Neck. It’s like Mecedes vs BMW type of thing. Like its a Win Win.
      ME having 2 Hisense Flagship Panels . Before that I had --MADE in Japan 🇯🇵 $3000 LED TOP Tv have BRIGHT, Vibrant color. But deep black. Like when I see SONY, LG . I do NOTICE IFFY COLOR. Their Color are DENSE then Bring Blown UP to be “Bright” but very off looking. Samsung, Hisense actually have d BEST Vibrant Beautiful Shades.
      NO FAIL. S95B or U8K, NO fail. U will be like Jaw dropping from yr plasma. Yeah telling u. I was like Grifing over my $3000 Made in Japan SHARP - Aquos- Quatrum TV (d Bestbuy TV guy secretly told me :” do not buy SONY, u have the best one. They use RBG panels color blending. YR TV is SO Much MORE premium even than their Flagship….etc. I am telling u because its my fav panel. U are snatching 2nd last one in Canada , d other one is 3000 km away ) . So for years, i was watching HD Content on cable TV , UPscaled to 2K .
      N I bought my 1st Hisense--JAW Dropped on floor. It’s d MOST beautiful 😻 thing i did not know such thing existed . It was panel lottery. (Luckily I knew it needs to be tweaked , so i did NOT freak out when i saw --OUT of box 💯 super bright ) .
      Yeah u will be happy any of these coming from Plasma. :)
      Make SURE get like 5 yr warranty. LED are meant to last 4-6 yrs, maybe 8. Not like Plasma. So most tv start to have issues around 4-5 yrs. So get from BESTBUY….they can Swab u a Brand NEW newer GEN if anything to ease yr mind. Cuz ONLY Plasmas last about 10 yrs. LED is always -4-6 yr thing IF heavy USE. :)

    I think it is safe to say they “know who you are”. And by contacting them on an issue, it feels like it either got calibrated or a golden sample was handpicked. I think the pre-calibration picture accuracy tests don’t mean much unless the sample is actually from the retail.

    Personally Caleb, I can't wait for the head to head comparison. Both these TVs are definitely making a mark for being budget TVs. Pretty soon if the three big brands don't start stepping up their game, their LED TVs are going to die out.. if they could just nail the processing, I really think Hisense and TCL will take the top spot pretty soon.

    • @randallsmith2521
      @randallsmith2521 Год назад +8

      TCL is far behind Hisense in image processing. Hisense is the bigger threat. Even so, I much prefer Sony and Samsung to Hisense for various reasons (mostly image processing).
      The issue that I run into with both Hisense and TCL is that I see how many of their TVs come back to the store. The open box section at Best Buy typically has a ton of "cheap" TVs. Samsung isn't as well represented now that the TU7000 is gone, but Hisense and TCL are.

    • @LeezahB

      I'm also curious about the OS. From what I'm seeing, it looks like both brands are sticking with GoogleTV for their higher end TVs. That makes sense as GoogleTV typically allows for more control.

      I am DONE!!!! Mom said I should get an oled like here but wanted to get a tv with VRR and 120/144 hz but forget it. Both tv's from both companies are total trash . The TCL was perfect for watcing tv and 10x better than the crappy hisense u8k viewing angle. RTINGs .com is smoking some extremely phsyctoci stuff. THey are so wrong in many ways I have found. Talking about image accuracy but it looks like shit.

The larger size is INFINITELY more immersive. I feel like i have never watched a movie or played a game before , and only started once I played on a 55 inch. I am giving up some size for a 48 inch oled and losing the VRR high refresh rate, but gaining perfect oled frames at 60 fps.
