About this deal

Connect your TV to your home network via Wi-Fi to start enjoying everything at your fingertips. Apps on the 55U8HQTUK include Netflix, Prime, Disney+, Apple TV, BBC iPlayer, and many more. If you’d prefer, Freeview Play is also built into this model, giving you access to over 40,000 hours of on-demand TV as well as 700 boxsets. There’s something for the whole family with Hisense. Used in a normal living room environment with good ambient lighting and watching directly onto the screen the image quality is good with natural colours and reasonable upscaling and motion. The image also measures accurately out of the box in the Filmmaker Mode. You’re not fussed by having lots of streaming apps: The U8Q focuses on the few rather than having many, and that will suit those who just need Netflix and the UK catch-up apps. You want an affordable 4K TV that supports all the main HDR formats: One great aspect about the U8Q is that it fits in all the main HDR formats and has enough brightness to make HDR content pop. Filmmaker Mode (FMM) is accurate out of the box on the Hisense U8H and that is what we had hoped for, given very few users will ever pay for a full calibration at this price point

The TV is also quite responsive. Using an HDFury Diva HDMI matrix, we measured an input lag of 8.1ms in Game mode. That falls under the 10ms threshold we use to determine if a TV is among the best for gaming. Predictably, with Game mode off, that input lag jumps to 86.5ms.an impressive everyday workhorse with good image accuracy and a nice bright HDR image that many LCD peers at this price point simply can’t match Shadow detail (that’s detail in the darkest parts of an image) is not the U8Q’s strongest suit. A whirl through The Dark Knight Rises and the TV can’t lift all the detail from the Batman suit. Raise the brightness and there’s more to be found, but there’s not much room to play with. A point up is all that’s needed, but anything more and scenes look washed out.

Subtitles and audio description information displayed on electronic programme guide programme banner This depends on the remote controller, specific to each TV model. Please call the service centre on 0333 800 2200, who will be happy to provide you with the correct code. HDR peak brightness and full-field numbers are impressive and in a normal living room that offers excellent levels of dynamics and a rich colourful performance with most content. Only really dark scenes will catch out the U8QF and its aggressive local dimming. SDR content from everyday TV viewing is also very good with a fairly accurate image out of the box with very nice looking colours and no obvious issues. If you are looking for an everyday living room workhorse that has good gaming performance, nice design and decent SDR and HDR viewing in a bright, normal living room, then the Hisense U8QF is a compelling proposition. In the Standard mode the speaker’s delivery is deliberately flat. I think it works well. Vocals are prioritised and it’s easy to understand what’s being said. It’s not particularly wide or tall, but the Theatre option is there for a more expansive presentation. Vocals, however, are less emphasised.the U8QF produced very detailed specular highlights and some really nice looking mid-tones given the number of nits it has under the hood Assembly isn’t too laborious. Start with the various parts of the stand (which should be screwed in all at once), slot it into the main body, tighten the screws and attach a panel to cover it up. There’s a cable clutter feature for routing cables through the bottom of the rear panel and out through the stand. Motion was decent on the U8QF with no noticeable induced judder with 24fps material when Ultra Smooth Motion was switched off and applying pulldown. We also noted some obvious motion trailing behind objects and other artefacts with some fast-moving material. When using the Ultra Smooth Motion settings you see soap opera effect from the interpolation straight away and, as you apply higher settings, image artefactssuch as false edges, trailing edges and image break up around fast-moving objects become much more noticeable. There are custom controls for Blur and Judder which you can experiment with for sports or other video content with fast movement, but for film and drama, we recommend switching it to off.

Clint Eastwood’s Unforgiven is a good showcase for landscapes and skies, and the smooth transition between colours appears capably handled; the TV giving a good sense of the film’s picaresque beauty with its different tones and hues. Contrast is also pretty good, with dark and bright elements coexisting to create a sense of depth. Colors fade slightly when you view the TV from an off-angle, but not to a significant degree. When you entertain a group of people, everyone should be able to see the screen just fine regardless of where they sit. The U8H doesn't offer the perfect off-angle color retention of TVs like the LG C2, but it’s far better than more budget models. Registered office Euronics Limited, Euro House, Joule Road, West Portway, Andover, Hampshire SP10 3GDThe Hisense U8Q is its flagship 2020 television, featuring wide HDR support and an integrated speaker system from audio brand JBL. By and large the Hisense U8Q is an attractive-looking set. Available in 55- and 65-inch models, the bezel is unobtrusive, and the build quality is what I’d call robust. From the V-shaped pedestal – which unless you have a compact soundbar does restrict placement of sound systems in front of the TV – to the fetching material that covers the integrated front-firing speakers, the U8Q is a well put-together set. One thing to add is the Hisense U8Q doesn’t seem to automatically switch into Enhanced mode when it detects a device that can do 4K/60Hz or 4.4.4, 4.2.2, 4.2.0 chroma sampling. Head into the menu settings for whichever HDMI port the device is connected to and switch it on.
