Hey everyone! I wanted to stop in and say thank you all for the encouraging comments. Really appreciate it. Also, the the QM8 vs. U8K comparison is coming soon! Thanks for your patience!
*BROOOO I NEED SETTINGS FOR MY QM8 (which I love btw)*
By chance can you tell me which powered screw driver you're using? Thanks!
Thanks for not wanting to "cut corners" and proving why you are among a very small handful of reviewers I put my faith in. Hopefully the same issues don't show up in the replacement.
Hey Caleb, love your reviews when are we going to see the s90c review??
Can you do star field test please it is an excellent stress test it show blooming, black crush and local dimming behavior hope you see this
your review of the TCL R635 is what made me finally take the leap from my 50" Panasonic Plasma to a 55" R635 in Oct 2020 & then to a 65" TCL R646 in Jan 2022...
you have EARNED my trust Caleb & always ask the things I would if I was standing there!!
Keep on rockin!
Props from Halifax NS Canada
I bet you miss your plasma if you think about it. Those TVs were amazing
How has your experience been on the R646, I've been looking into buying a 75" now in 2024
Amazed how far brands like Hisense and TCL have come
And how far the previous budget TV darling, Vizio, has fallen.
Like how LG and Samsung did from the 90s until now
@@ChesterMan-qd3xj I made the mistake of buying a Vizio in 2020. The panel looks good but the firmware is so buggy it’s ridiculous. Total roll of the dice if all your settings will get reset for no good reason 😡
@@ChesterMan-qd3xjI loved my 2018 P Series. I hope they come back with a vengeance. Vizio seems like the only major US tv brand lol.
There chinese and steal tech. Not that hard
The CNET shade is well-deserved. They review very few models now and every year an LG C-Series is their best of the year. They refuse to review Sony OLEDs, for some reason.
Probably AI doing all of their reviews.
LG is probably paying them
According to whom?
I’m not even in the tv market currently and I watch most of your videos for the good information! Thank you!
I've been waiting on your review of the U8k. Glad you explained why that is not happening and am very pleased to wait. It was your review of the Hisense U8H that made start looking at Hisense and TCL tv's. Love your reviews and how you explain everything. Keep up the great work.

Love the honesty. It’s hard to find that love of integrity and only a few reviewers are kept in high regard with me. Keep up the great work and look forward to seeing your next reviews!

This is the difference between LTT and Caleb and Digital Trends. You go the extra mile and make sure you're delivering fair results. Thanks for being awesome!
Covering CNET and telling Hisense to do better was the best thing ever. Awesome job😂
What's CNET?
@@BunkMasterFlex77
Garbage.
They do sponsored/paid reviews and will positively push products that aren't necessarily great. I.e. Bose. Bose pays the majority of their profits towards advertising rather than product quality. Hence why almost everyone knows the brand.
@@KaoruSugimura David Katzmaier is a respected TV reviewer and not nearly the cheerleader as Caleb. His televisions are provided by the manufacturer just like they are with Denison.
@@KaoruSugimura that is what youtube is for, any 'review' should be taken with a grain of salt
@@johnb4905 i like Davids reviews but fuck me, i can't find ANYTHING anymore on CNET, its all just SEO / Deal bullshit spamming, that site turned to absolute garbage
"Almost is not good enoigh for me and more importantly, almost is not good enough for you"
This is why your reviews are always appreciated. You're always making sure you are delivering the best you can for us as followers and consumers. I have no real interest in picking up a Hisense tv, at least not anytime soon. Bought a Sony not to long ago. However, I still tune in because I always like to see how companies are moving forward and improving the products they ship. And, in some cases, get those warnings of products and/or trends rolling back progress in the space. So even though this Hisense review doesn't affect me at all, I still appreciate the transparency and work put into it.
Keep up the great work!
As always total respect to you Caleb for your work look forward to seeing the full results and review once you have replacement
I’ve always liked your demeanor, presentation style, and overall approach. Still do after years of watching. Not arrogant at all, and very respectful. Keep up the good work 🙏
Can't wait for the "official" Caleb review. I've been bouncing back and forth between selecting either the TCL or the Hisense based on spec sheets and leaning toward the Hisense as they released the U8K spec sheets just recently. I appreciate that you didn't present a qualified review for the pre production release version as an engineer who has had lots of experience with beta testing of my group's developments. Till later.....
I’d get the qm8 better customer service and a nice tv
@@SsShadowbaneSsS I own a TCL 6 series and even though I got a good one TCL does have KNOWN quality issues...I'm buying the U8K because after the first firmware update I already have seen improvement from reivews online...Customer service from HISENSE is great per most customers who have actually bought their TVs...Don't believe the rumors...
@petedetraglia4776 tcl q7 is just as good at a fraction of the cost. I would not spend the extra money on a u8k. Not enough improvements for the cost. And tcl q7 switched to Google as the os instead of roku. It's an incredible TV
@@SsShadowbaneSsStcl is just as good for a bit cheaper than both the qm8 and the u8k.
don’t get the hisense
As someone on the edge of their seat for news of the U8K and its release I appreciate the update and content :) looking forward to the full review
Thanks for the integrity and patience. That's gotta be frustrating, especially given how popular both your reviews are and the anticipation for this particular model. Looking forward to your thoughts on a properly functioning panel!
Be warned - Hisense uses different panel types for the same model number in different regions! That is outrages and means many reviews may not reflect what you end up receiving.
Addng, this is known as "panel lottery" but at least with O-LED there's just LG and Samsung, In some countries, they swap model numbers so, you cannot even trust SKUs.
@@xlaapethat’s not what panel lottery refers to
UK version are way more inferior PLEASE BE WARNED
That’s why Hisense isn’t any better than lg and Samsung in the uk.
They are substantially inferior to their other region counterparts and even lg and Samsung in the uk
im kind of happy tho ebcasue of it i got a 85 inch ips panel which i want
My recent experience with Hisense is that even when you turn off motion smoothing, it's still not completely off. For picture modes like Dolby Vision, you still have to turn it off there as well. And with Dolby Vision, the settings for that don't appear unless you're inputting a DV signal.
They have different settings for each picture mode and input signal. (SDR and HDR)
@@JoshuaBarrio That's what I was trying to say. Thanks.
So can it be fully turned off?
@@robwatumd It seems that you can but you need to make sure that you input every type of picture sub-mode (like Dolby Vision) that you can because those sub-modes all have their own unique settings menus that are only accessible when that particular sub-mode is being input. And some measure of motion-smoothing is turned on by default in all of them -- even if you happen to be using Filmmaker Mode. The implementation is completely ridiculous...and insidious.
so what . you can stil turn it off. im sure the motion is not as bad as samsung tht forces a bit og soap opera even when turned off@@Downhuman74
Caleb - Thanks for making the right decision. I always enjoy watching you and your reviews. It’s like having a good friend in the ‘biz.’ Lots of love to you and your family! ❤️
I have their 55U8G and 65U8H and couldn't be more pleased. The sub-woofer on the back of the 65U8H really enhances the sound.
I bought a Hisense and it lasted two years before dying. Never again. Sticking with Sony from now on.
Congratulations on having over 1 million subscribers. Always excellent tech reviews.
We like Caleb Denison tech unboxing ASMR more than a David Katzmaier unboxing. I appreciate the more involved process Digital Trends puts into their content. Thanks for the video DT!🤘
Great work like always. I'm really interested in the u8k vs qm8 video.
Qm8 won
It was great of you to hold back Caleb - looking forward to your review when the new one drops.
Caleb is hilarious. Love his funny humour as part of these reviews. Nice and dry. Keep it up Caleb.
Your reviews format is
always improving. I will not complain about that... ; - )
Thanks a lot for your very professional work! 👍👍
Presently using a 50inch Hisense Roku tv, one of the best tv’s I’ve ever had⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ looks like this might be one for the near future👌
If companies really wanted to improve the remotes add illumination. The best remote I have is from an old Bose Lifestyle. You push a button on the back and all the keys glow. I just got a new LG and I really like the TV. The new magic remote is nice, but no backlighting.
This channel is why I’m addicted to tv’s but I’m not complaining 🤣
Quatum TV is good for reviews too. I bought 2 tv aft him showed Em aft calibration . Turn out d TV matched his Calibration . I was enjoying his Honesty for review . Caleb is good too. He is more politically correct but I understand there business involved 😅
The question is: would an average consumer be able to detect such issue (such as the blue/cyan color anomaly) in time to return it, or at all? And would they receive the VIP treatment and response that Caleb can expect from Hisense? I guess that's the price we have to pay for a "value" product: it's the luck of the draw. And most folks are overly optimistic w.r.t their chances..
You could just change the color temperature lol
Thank you Caleb for being so detailed and diligent in your analysis! Will wait for your review
Thank you for the honesty!
I really appreciate it, and it is something I look for on a reviewer.
i saw the U7K in person and was shocked at how gud it was! Build quality was higher than TLC as well as image quality. I am buying the U7K for 144Hz gaming! I already own a Hisense a few years old and works fine but only 60 Hz.
I hope this is just a one off bad panel, the problem is that until a large number of these sets are sold
and the buyers know what to look for then this issu leaves a nagging doubt that makes you think twice
about buying one.
Having worked in consumer electronic repairs all my life i have seen plenty of bad batches from leading
brands to know never to buy a new product when it is first released.
The early buyers are the quality control in regards common issues, wait and see how they find the set
and if a firmware upgrade provides a fix, by then the price will start to fall, and you might get a better deal and avoid buying a lemon.
That’s my issue with Hisense. I am afraid that their QA is not at par with brands like Sony, LG, Samsung. It might be an excellent TV but if the chances of getting a lemon are much higher than other brands it negates any benefits.
I appreciate the truth explanation about get a new TV sample to provide a good, accurate and profesional review. In that way this channel avoids the situation happened before with the H8G
I don't go to CNET for tv reviews. This is channel I'll tune into because y'all helped me get the LG CX and I'm still loving that TV TO THIS DAY
I am guessing they are saying 1500 peak brightness because that's what you might be getting in Eco mode since that's what it comes with Default to meet energy efficiency requirements, plus you reviewers will highlight it saying it's exceeding expectations. It's great marketing strategy. 🤘
Tbf people's eyes can't measure nits either way, won't have another tv next to it to compare, and won't have the tools to measure it anyways.
Don't need tools to see a TV is really bright compared to one that isn't.
Got a U7 55” Hisense TV. It’s amazing. I got it only for $600 is so good. 1000 nits brightness, legit 120hz refresh rate, HDR and 4k. The thing about Hisense is their brand is known for the much cheaper U6 series TVs sold at Walmart and Target. The quality difference between U6 and U7 is night and day. Hisense high end TVs are a great value while the budget ones sold at Walmart and Target are meh at best.
I thoroughly enjoy these videos and reviews! I won't buy another tv without making sure I check if Caleb has positively reviewed it
I’m salivating. Can’t wait! I love your channel. I WILL be buying an 85 inch in the coming days/weeks. It’s between the TCL QM8 and the Hisense U8K. BUT… I’m not 100% sure there will be an 85 Inch U8K. Can you clear that up for us? Thanks Again.
I put mine at Max brightness on the Vivid setting. It will melt your eyes at night but looks great in my very bright living room. Also games on the Xbox Series X look fantastic!!!
Glad to see that you didn’t want to give a review for a perceived faulty product. Good on you
You sound sick.. so get well soon..! Can you focus on how it compares to U8H? What has improved over the previous models? Can you dig deeper into the number of dimming zones for both U8H and U8K (also TCL ones)!
Your review is worth the wait. I really appreciate the "colour" that your reviews provide, numbers and stats are great, but being able to put them into the greater context of an "experience" really helps with getting a sense of what owning a tv would be like.
I recently bought the UH8 on sale and it's fantastic. Who would have thought that HiSense would become a leader in televisons?
They will never be a leader in tvs.
The integrity you clearly stated is worth the wait for an accurate review from your good self Caleb. Looking forward to it once Hisense send you the replacement.
Cheers! ✌🏻🇦🇺
I am regular viewer of this channel,..from India…most of the products reviewed in this channel doesn’t even see Indian markets…still I am here🙂🥲…Caleb does know what he is doing…that’s the only reason why I am here
Fingers crossed 🤞🏼 that the replacement doesn’t eff up too!
As a fellow AV Engineer, I appreciate your review. You have a new sub.
When it came to choosing between the U8H or U8K. I went with the U8H. Why? I feel there are more features on the U8H. The U8K feels more simplified. That's fine but I prefer a little more to work with in regards to settings. The super resolution may look nice but can over sharpen the image causing objects to have a slight halo around the edge. This was or still may be a feature on Sony and LG TV's but I never used it. The black level adjustment can be tricky. The U8H has something similar in the game settings and it's best to leave it at zero. Turning it up can wash out shadows. Turning it down can cause shadow crushing. Please understand these my opinions and mine alone. Always look forward to the next tech review. Keep up the amazing work. Hope you and your family are doing well.
Hey Caleb! Really enjoy your content and look forward to it. You probably do the best in depth TV reviews that I've seen 😊. Great job!!
This will be Perfect for the new Playstation 5 Pro when it releases in late 2024
You do a great job, all my TV decisions have taken your recommendations and review into my purchasing decision!
Are we going to see the U8K review by tomorrow/end of Prime Days? Best Buy pricing is making this a difficult decision. Need your help my TV Sherpa!
How do you know this isn't actually a larger quality control issue and that some percentage of real customers aren't actually going to experience the same or similar issues? If a unit picked out to be sent for review is anomalous, it seems that the other thousands of units sent to regular people with no tools to verify color gamuts, peak brightness, black levels, etc. will likely be even more prone to errors.
In any case, kudos for the transparency and I look forward to more insights from you.
The best part is the box it came in... Did you see that box.. I mean WOW... And the tape... Double WOW! Thanks for such a great review of all the cardboard.. genius
It would be amazing if can get us an opinion on the QM8 vs U8K by July 11-12?
😂 ahhhh yes good ol prime days !!!
😂 Hey Calib, you know what Forest Gump said...Stuff Happens. What I'm liking beyond the Peak Brightness statement is the Basic Warranty Statement. I will also note that Hisense has seriously stepped up their whole game concerning product support and warranty support. And I look forward to the day they get serious about remotes. 😂 I have an older Hisense TV it was 2bd or 3rd tier for the day 3-4:yrs ago. Note: even then it's 600-650 Peak Brightness should for me have come with Sunglasses and some Sun Screen. In comparison to their newer models I'm sure whatever one I choose 6,7, or 8 will easily fill my bill. Now I've yet to see your review of the new TCL which I will next. I'm from the Keep It Simple Stupid category of folks just looking for a "good experience" from general viewing to HDR TV and CD Movies and Content Delivery via Wifi from the list of the Usual Suspects. I am not a Nit Nerd or Super Anal. I like my unit to play and display games well as I dabble in a few. Well mostly Borderlands. Though I will be broadening my retinue with Steam once again. And I might attempt broadcasting form my computer to help with Photo editing might... Beyond that my present model works well or so much so I could go another few years, but I want a "Better Remote" and I'd like a unit with finer detail. So, Thanks for All You Do...and Always enjoy your output.
A tech influencer dream really. Receiving a faulty unit to make 2 long videos to cash in. Wouldn't have been to much trouble cutting the unboxing part together with the "real" review in a week or two.
Excellent almost review. Looking forward to seeing the complete review when you have the replace. This is what a review should be. Thanks for the honesty and the quality of the review.😂
I'm also curious to see performance differeces between a 65" U8K which uses a VA panel and the 75" version which reportedly uses an IPS panel. Better viewing angles...contrast ratio?
I got the fancy Sony remote because I got my TV at Costco. It has Bravia Core instead of UA-cam. I watch UA-cam more than any other app on my TV BY FAR. What I would give for a UA-cam button ..
I want the one with the UA-cam button too!
What's funny is that you can easily remap those sponsored buttons with an app right off the play store, and its free. These manufacturers need to stop fighting over shortcuts on remotes for premium TVs. People buying these kinds of TVs know what we want and don't want
QUESTION: The 75" version of the U8K uses an IPS panel, while the smaller models use a VA panel. I don't like VA panels, because they have poor viewing angles. I like IPS panels, because they have impressive viewing angles. Will your review of the U8K be taking this into consideration?
Which VA panel tvs have you had experience with? The difference shouldn’t be discernible in most situations. People on rtngs forums swore up and down they had va panel TVs and someone from the brand corrected them letting them know they definitely have ips panels. It’s not something the brands advertise or disclose so often review sites are incorrect, OR in many cases both panels are used for the same exact model and screen size depending on production run.
Nope...uses an ADS Pro panel in 75"
@@bamdet The "ADS" is a form of "IPS." But I appreciate you being specific about that. Unfortunately, the U8K wastes one of the two HDMI 2.1 inputs on the eArc channel. For some reason, only TCL seems to understand that concept of having the eArc channel on a separate input from the HDMI 2.1 inputs.
Really waiting for the full review, great work! I’m in the market for a new tv this year, Caleb great job.
I have the TCL 55C845. It is nowhere near OLED contrast but still managing to get to a good level and for the fraction of the cost, there is no comparison.
Those flared ports are the left and right speakers. Caleb, you are the best product reviewer on UA-cam.
what im curious about is if they are doing the every other pixel row skip when using vrr or 120+ refresh rate while gaming like they have in past models.
Appreciate the intro/review. Hisense are one of the few brands of TV we have here in South Africa.
The LG and samsh1t tv's are here too...but too expensive!
We have Hisense and some other...but Hisense is by far better in not only availability but also service.
Thanks again.
after my U8H Died No more Hisense or TCL brand for me love my Samsung mini led💯
Just got two of these, how did yours die? How long does it take?
@@3MZFE chinese junk
That's what Squaretrade is for :)
Have you had a TCL? If so, what happened?
User error most likely. 😂 I have 2 55 u8h and flawless
Been wait 4ds review d whole year 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞
A little over a month ago I picked up the 65" U8H paired it with a Vizio 5.1.4-Channel Elevate Sound bar and just love the setup.... Thanks
The elevate is a great sound bar. It's my first surround sound and boy o boy am I happy. I'm paired to a LG CX.
I don't need crackle on my remote. I need programmable buttons like we've had on radio presets for the last 50 years.
I watch a lot of your reviews and really think you do a great job, they are not only fact filled but fun and entertaining.
I am really watching closely now because it is new TV time and the QM8’and maybe this Hisense are candidates. I really lust after the QM8 98 to replace my 75” TCL 825 but these HiSense ……
Caleb, you do a great job and UA-cam is the perfect medium for you.
Don't mind me, I'm just here for the superior TV unboxing ASMR.
For casual viewing and sports, 98% of the time, tv speakers are fine! I only use my theatre avr+sub/speakers for movies and music.
The problem and knock on Hisense tv has always been there quality control for me. If you get a good set they are really good but if you don’t they have stager issues. While Caleb’s issues is an outlier it’s not the first time I’ve heard of weird issues with Hisense.
Looking forward to the real deal review. Like to hear about gaming and upscaling more than anything.
All new TVs have bugs, Hisense is no better or worse.
Exactly. As to all TVs having issues, if you bought 100 Hisense top tier TVs and 100 Sony top tier TVs you better believe there would be 55 major issues with Hisense and 5 or 6 with Sony. Hisense uses extremely cheap materials (they have to, they undercut literally everyone else on price to sell their TVs) and they have poor qc. These are not mainstay brands, they don’t have the name recognition or reputation of household brands like Sony or Samsung or LG, for good reason. I have first hand experience with this, twice. I returned both POS TVs and spent a little more, voila. No issues.
@@BB-ed4om I agree with this to a certain point. I have had some issues with even Sony, Samsung and lg, but I agree with you that Hisense has far more failures than other brands I would even say that his end has far more issues than tcl. Having said that I think they have potential to make better tvs and have longevity if they iron out the issues
@@BB-ed4om I have had around 6 Hisense TV's in the last 12 years, only one failed and it was a $120 32".
I currently have an H8G and it's been great for the last 3 or 4 years, can't remember exactly how long I've had it but it's got 1000s of hours on it because I leave it on all the time (for my dog when I'm gone). Sure there were firmware bugs initially but they were all worked out within 6 or so months.
Build quality is not great I agree, it could certainly use more bracing on the VESA wall mount location.
Yep. I had a U8H 65" for less than 30 days. TV turned off one day by itself, and wouldn't turn back on. Even though I purchased a 4 year extended warranty via Amazon I sent the TV back. Really disappointing. Fwiw to anyone looking for a new TV. I wouldn't purchase another TV without a warranty.
Hi, it’s me again. Sorry if this is a duplicate post. My iPad died during last posting session. My only goal is to save someone, anyone from the horrors that come along with owning a Hisense TV.
For the full version of my story and many similar stories. Just Google ‘Hisense problems’ or ‘I hate Hisense’. Their TVs are horrible and unreliable. I believe they have the worst reliability rating of all major manufacturers. And the Customer Service is just as bad. So if you have any issues, even if under warranty, good luck getting them to address it. As I write this I’m ‘Hard Reseting’ my TV probably for the 12th or more time. That’s back to factory settings. It will not fix any issues, for more than a minute. So please take my / our advice and just don’t purchase a Hisense TV. No matter how good it looks or how cheap it is.
Excellent video. I have the U8K 75 inch. I fine tuned SDR and HDR settings and it's awesome I think its performing like my Bravia XR A95L.
I was holding out for the 75in u8k but went ahead on and got the 77in s90c. Can't believe I waited at all. The TV is unmatched🔥
I've heard a lot of people complain about Hisense quality control so. Let's hope this is a one off
All I can say is I've personally sold over 1500 Hisense TVs and can count returns on my hands and feet where it was SW or HW problems (line on screen, no input signal on HDMI, etc), the rest of the issues were transit damage or wife-hammer-regret, ie they took it home and wife didnt like the brand/design and they hit the top of the display (probably with a small hammer) and said it happened in transit so they could return it without question.
That last part sounds like a joke but in the UK you can't return a TV thats been opened without a good reason, so tapping with a hammer is the simplest (and most cowardly lol, own your mistakes or stand your ground husbandos) method.
So many issues are HDMI-CEC related or audio settings mismatch between cable/TV box and TV. For example in the UK Virgin Media boxes will causes A/V sync issues on specific channels when audio output is set to Auto or Dolby Atmos.
Hisense gets much better reviews. I'd argue TCL is much worse with quality control. Best Buy had to pull some of their tvs just last year for having os issues.
Finally I see a Hisense TV running on Google TV instead of VIDAA which seems to be extremely limited on apps compared to Android.
Just bought the hisense u7 hqt 120 hz model and I'm very impressed with the overall picture quality supporting dolby vision atmos. game mode pro hdr10 it's a steal 😊
Well this channel outlasted quantum TV. I'm really happy about that
What's interesting is the new models have a LESSER mediatek SOC. Last year's "H" models use a 9900 Arm73 version, whereas this years "K" Hisense uses a 9603 Arm53 version. Maybe it's because the mini LED is more efficient than the ULED...but that shouldn't have anything to do with the SOC which would control more interface speed. Odd indeed.
Good 😮observation ! What is SOC ? 😊😅
@birdtj82 System-on-a-chip. Basically it's processing guts :)
great review and comments. Thanks. Looking forward to your final review.
Love the review. Very detailed. Thanks 4 that. I have the 65" tv on my Xmas list. Thanks 4 sharing! See you on your replacement review video. Cheers! 😎😎😎😎
I have a modest 50" MORESENSE U7 and people in the UA-cam comments are ALWAYS telling me how bad the brand is, and how unreliable they are! ... Obviously, somebody forgot to tell my TV, because it's excellent, and the best TV I've ever owned!
I remind these people that Samsung and Lucky Goldstar used to sell CRAP 30 years ago! 🤣
Thank you for reviewing these value brand of TV such as TCL QM8 n Hisense U8K so ppl can make informed decisions. Not that I can’t afford Sony or Samsung but just think they are a bit over-priced for Mini-LED.
I bought the 85 Hisense UX and returned it within the week. I haven't been that let down from a purchase in a long time.
Why is that?
I would like to know what was wrong also, seems amazing on paper. No reply after a few days will indicate troll or bot post imo. The TV has received rave reviews for its picture and sound so far.
Me too. Sad to hear.
@@KuranghiI almost never get notified of replies, he probably missed it. Doesn’t have the hallmarks of a troll, it’s not inflammatory enough. Now… that being said, you have 48 hours to reply to my post otherwise you’re a troll bot 😂
@@brkbtjunkie I'm here I'm here! lol yeah I get you, doesn't definitely mean its a troll/bot post because they don't reply I'm just suspicious because its about an unrelated model from what the video is about. Thats terrible grammar, I hope you understand anyway haha.
BIG DISAPPOINTMENT: The Hisense U8K still uses that outdated and disappointing "8-Bit Plus FRC" type of Panel that merely "Simulates" the HDR 10-Bit technology. Some people - including me - even see a disappointing type of "Rainbow Effect" similar to the "Rainbow Effect" seen on the DLP Color Wheels. In comparison, the TCL QM8 uses a "True 10-Bit" type of Panel that "Truly" allows HDR 10-BIt technology to be taken advantage of - with no negative side effects such as a "Rainbow Effect."
By your comment you have not seen a U8K live. You wouldn't know by watching real content any difference.
I 🎉am excited for Hisense UX video !! 😊 hope it come out soon
We bought a 70" I always wanted a 65"it's amazing how the prices have come down on these TVs over the years.
I am sure you are busy, but I am really waiting for the final review. I recently purchased a 55U8K but am disappointed by the fall off in color off axis. Should I retire it and shop elsewhere or will your settings help minimize the ghosting of human faces above 45 degrees off axis? Thanks in advance for your great reviews.
Great, cause I'm interested in this TV!!!!
I have an elderly mother that doesn't want to deal with endless menus, she has a hard time seeing so she can't see buttons very well on the remote either, so the question is: Does this TV turn on to a specific channel or does it turn on to a home screen and from there you have to select live tv to get to your antenna channels. I absolutely DO NOT want the home screen option. My current TV turns on to just a tv channel right away but it is getting old and I want to get a newer TV. I am trying to avoid a TV that will frustrate my mother if it has some stupid home screen that you have to constantly navigate from.
id love to see another dual layer lcd from them
