100" U8 Series ULED Mini-LED 4K UHD Smart Google TV (100U8QG) - QLED, Native 165Hz, VRR 288, Up to LD5600, 5000 Nits, HDR10+, Dolby Vision IQ · Atmos, IMAX Enhanced, 4.1.2 Ch Audio

I have had this 100-inch Hisense U8 set up for a while now, and so far I have absolutely no complaints. The picture quality is beyond impressive. Colors are bright and vibrant without looking overly artificial, the image stays sharp on such a massive screen, and the black levels and contrast make movies and streaming content look excellent. I have seen plenty of people say to buy the comparable Samsung instead because this Hisense is supposedly nowhere close, but based on my real-world experience, I disagree. For the way I use it, which is primarily streaming movies, shows, and other content, this television looks every bit like a high-end display. I do not feel like I am missing anything by choosing the Hisense. The 100-inch size completely changes the room. It feels much closer to having a theater or projector setup, but with the brightness, clarity, and convenience of a television. Even regular shows become much more immersive, and good-quality 4K content looks incredible. It also handles a reasonably bright room better than I expected. I cannot give a fair opinion on the built-in speakers because I do not use the television for sound. As shown in my photos, it is connected to a full home-theater system, so all audio runs through my receiver and speakers. My review is based primarily on picture quality, streaming performance, and the overall experience. The television is obviously huge and heavy, so mounting and positioning it is not a one-person job. Once installed, though, it is absolutely worth the effort. This has become the centerpiece of my home-theater setup, and I would purchase it again without hesitation.

I’ve been using this Hisense 55" U8 series for a week now, and it has honestly exceeded my expectations. The first thing that hits you is the brightness, it’s an absolute beast. My living room gets a ton of direct sunlight during the day, but this panel completely fights off any glare without losing an ounce of picture quality. The colors from the QLED tech are incredibly vibrant, and thanks to the massive number of local dimming zones, the blacks look surprisingly deep and close to an OLED screen. As a big gamer, the performance on this thing is a dream. Plugging my PC and console in and getting that smooth native high refresh rate with VRR makes gameplay feel incredibly fluid with zero noticeable input lag.

I am very happy with this TV. The picture quality is sharp, bright, and vibrant, making movies, sports, and streaming shows look fantastic. The sound quality is also better than expected for a TV in this price range. Setup was quick and easy, and connecting to Wi-Fi and streaming apps took only a few minutes. The remote is simple to use, and the smart TV features work smoothly. Overall, I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable, high-quality television.

WOW! Purchased Hisense 55" U8QQG to replace a 10 year old 42" Sony Bravia TV after watching many reviews. I liked the idea behind the mini LED technology but have been blown away by how much better the TV work in person. Fast "ON" to actual watching content. High brightness and contrast to allow watching TV on outdoor patio in the middle of the day!!! We turn the brightness down when watching in the living room and have had great enjoyment watching the many "OLED" and "BLACK" background demo videos. Blooming at the edge of bright white images next to black images is barely noticeable when looking at still images and invisible when watching motion video. Fast connection to WIFI. Sound has surprising bass and more volume than needed. TV greatly exceeded our expectations. The included stand is nothing special. We mounted TV to a sturdy stand with weighted base. Waited a couple months before posting review. Highly recommend this TV.

I was getting by with a decade old Panasonic plasma TV, and in addition to noticing degradation with the screen image, I was astounded with how much heat it produced making it highly energy inefficient. I’ve always been a consumer of the higher-end brands because I feel like you “get what you pay for“ and based on my room and requirements I was ready to move forward with a high-end Sony Bravia. As they moved closer to the purchase, I noticed an inordinate number of negative reviews. This caused me to start again with my research and Hisense kept popping up. I recalled renting an Airbnb earlier in the year that had a high since flatscreen installed, and I was amazed by the picture clarity. I switched gears completely, and began looking at data from the Hisence mini LED and was amazed at the overwhelmingly positive reviews. The price was literally half of the set that I was looking at and I figured with purchasing through Amazon I would give it a try. To say I was impressed would be a gross understatement. The set is amazing. The picture quality is excellent. The remote is fantastic. Every part of it feels super high-end, except the price! My one and only complaint would have been the sound quality coming out of the built-in speakers. In the past, I have used $1000 plus Sonos units, but they tend to be glitchy. Upon further review, I found that Hi sense makes their own dedicated sound bar that comes with a subwoofer for a fraction of the price of anything else on the market. The set up an installation on both was beyond simple. The sound quality is excellent, and the consistency of operation is five star all the way.

Application: I bought this to use primarily with my pc for everything: gaming, streaming, internet, Windows apps, etc. This is my first Hisense, all my past HDTVs have been Samsung. I am reviewing this after 3 weeks of experience with it. I should point out I got this dirt cheap, since it had a real discount during Prime day, and I also redeemed all my Prime card points on it. Shipping and Delivery: The expected delivery date was initially expected to be at least a month later, since I assume it was on backorder. A week after ordering, Amazon texted me that delivery was expected the next day, nearly a month earlier than expected. They did not provide a delivery time window, however. I woke up the next morning with a delivery text showing a picture of the tv on my front porch, they delivered it at 6:30 am without any out for delivery advanced notice. NOT GOOD AMAZON! Fortunately I noticed it before someone could steal the tv from my porch. Packaging and assembly: I was actually impressed with the packaging. Hisense makes it easy to remove the tv from the box (rather, remove the box from the tv) with minimal effort, despite it being very well padded and protected. I am also impressed with the stand, it is more heavy and durable than what you might be accustomed to with other tvs. Assembly instructions were easy to follow, even easier if you watch youtube videos of other people who have done it. Remote: No frills, but I like it. Does not have a bunch of unnecessary keys. And it's illuminated which is rare with nowadays. Really the only keys I use on it are power, source, and settings. Everything else I do from my pc. Setup: Initial setup with all the Google crap was more time consuming than I cared for. So many steps which are unskippable for things I did not intend to use. But after that, I connected my pc to it via HDMI and I was surprised how good it looked on the pc before I did any calibration, even better than my previous Samsung tv which looked good. I did do some tweaking within Win11, but very little tweaking was needed with the tv settings. Video: The text in Windows on my pc looks remarkably clear. I had reservations before buying this tv, since it has a BGR subpixel layout instead of RGB, and RGB is supposedly better for pc text. Turns out, that does not really matter. Using the internet and streaming looks wonderful, as do pc games. I use HDR with most all sources (with some additional tweaking with my pc and nVidia settings). Colors are vibrant, blacks are as good as OLED (seriously), and the contrast is excellent. With the tv supporting up to 5000 nits brightness, I had concerns about that. But on my pc the picture brightness looks just right. The tv picture mode I leave mostly on HDR Gaming mode. But Win11 is using only 800 nits which is plenty bright. I did try calibrating with the Win11 HDR calibration tool to use the full 5000, but that was mostly too bright, and strangely that forced my tv into Dolby Vision picture mode with everything. So I went back to the default 800 nits. (Win11 has been having issues with Dolby Vision, just google it.) Audio: Yeah, the tv has speakers on the back (silly concept). I don't use them of course. I use my receiver for the audio. Although I should point out, this tv does support having audio on both the tv speakers and the receiver or soundbar at the same time, which is also a rare feature for a tv. I played around with that a little, but went back to the receiver exclusively. It also supports audio passthrough via eARC or optical. Summary: Overall I am very happy with this tv (or I should say monitor) so far. It has been better than I had expected. Since I use it mostly with my pc, I rarely use the smart features or any of the installed apps on the TV. Running apps on a pc instead of a tv is a much better experience, believe me. And no, I do not use this sitting at a desk. Lol. The tv and pc are in my living room, I use it sitting at least 8 feet away in a sofa chair with wireless devices. The only way to go!

This is my preliminary review - I will likely update once I have spent some time watching. TV arrived intact and I had no issues getting it installed and operating. It is heavy at about 137 pounds so you will need a heavy duty wall bracket if you plan to mount it on your wall. Right out of the box you will need to play with the settings to get it where you want it. For instance, mine was set to Zoom for some odd reason so the picture was cropped on all 4 sides and of course blown up a bit in size. I also turned the brightness down and contrast up but will likely play with these settings more or invest in a good calibration. I haven't yet had the time to find and explore all of the menus to adjust the picture but I am sure they are there somewhere...... Not much of an owner's manual or help with any of the configuration menus so you will be on your own there. The remote has a really good quality feel to it. I hear no noticeable buzz or noise from the set as others have complained about on various review sites. The sound quality from the built-in speakers is just OK. It sounds a little muffled in my room since the speaker is literally facing the wall (mine is hung on a wall) and the mounting bracket so it might sound better if you use the supplied stand instead of wall mounting. A sound bar or separate audio would be a good investment to get the best output. I like the simple thin black bezel and you really have to squint to read the Hisense logo on the front of the set. Haven't looked at the Google TV features and may not ever but they are there is anyone wants it. Picture quality is quite good and the side viewing angle is actually not terrible like some LCDs. If you have a wide room, it might not be the best but no LCD has a very good viewing angle (compared to plasma for instance). I have not seen any glare despite it being positioned between 2 side facing windows. When it is off, it does have a bit of a shiny surface but it doesn't appear to be an issue with the picture quality when on. My only negative of the set so far is that it has only 3 HDMI inputs. I really needed 1 more but I knew this going in so can't complain much.

After spending a lot of time comparing Sony, Samsung, LG and TCL, I decided to go with the Hisense 100” U8 Mini-LED, and I couldn’t be happier. The picture quality is outstanding. HDR content looks incredible, blacks are deep, colors are vibrant without looking oversaturated, and the brightness is more than enough even during the day. Gaming on the PS5 has been amazing. Games like The Last of Us Part II Remastered look absolutely stunning with excellent detail, smooth motion and very low input lag. Movies are equally impressive. Once you spend a little time adjusting the picture settings to your preference, the image quality rivals TVs that cost significantly more. The Google TV interface is fast, setup was straightforward, and the TV has worked flawlessly. If you’re looking for a true cinematic experience at home without spending OLED flagship money, this TV is an incredible value. I would absolutely buy it again.
