Review on πŸ“Ί Hisense U8G Quantum Series 65-Inch Class ULED Premium Android 4K Smart TV with Alexa Compatibility (65U8G, 2021 Model) by Jonathan Brendemuehl

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Very incompatible panels and poor quality QA

A few things to note: The panels on the U8G are very incompatible. In fact, I've tried 3 TVs already...here's my review of them.1. The first TV had fantastic colors, bright and vibrant. The backlighting was insanely bright, HDR really jumped out. However, it was almost always too bright and details were often lost/smeared. Another issue with the device was that it suffered from very poor red motion blur. Finally, this device had horrible ghosting when gaming. To be honest, the level of ghosting was unacceptable. If I had only watched TV/movies on it, I would never have known. One more thing, this unit had a lot of spikes and judder... I could never get it off once it was set up. Finally, this block made things look weird or messy in gray. Ghosting was noticeable with all HDMI sources and could not be corrected by either console settings or TV settings. It was unplayable.2. The second TV turned off completely upon arrival. It turned on for a second, made a clicking noise and wouldn't turn on again. The box was delivered in perfect condition, so it was probably a bad capacitor. I don't think a subdivision like this would normally come out of QA.3. TV 3 has more accurate colors, a dimmer backlight, but lacks the vivid colors of the first set. White details and shadows are not lost in bright scenes. The refresh rate is excellent and there are no ghosting or red spots when moving. My only gripe is that the TV has some backlight uniformity issues on all-black screens... high frequency local dimming really masks this. However, this is very noticeable when local dimming is deactivated. Fortunately, this is not noticeable in real content. Ultimately, the price can save this TV, just note that you might have to go through a few panels to get a good one, or settle for a few scarifications.

Pros
  • Quantum Dot Wide Color Gamut: over a billion shades. Quantum Dot delivers purer, richer, brighter and more accurate colors than traditional LED TVs. We could understand how it works. But it's much easier to say that every day looks like the 4th of July.
Cons
  • I don't remember, but there was something
