Title: Great Bang for the Buck
Review: This TV arrived quickly via UPS in good condition.It’s boxer in the rear for the sound system speakers and looks the same in the front with the Hisense logo centered at the bottom this time around. The inputs are recessed from the outer edge, making it difficult to get to them after wall mounting. However, none are facing back this time around. All are facing toward the outer edge.Out of the box, there was the typical Google TV setup followed by one system update (P0205 to P0415) and 2 remote updates. There are only 3 HDMI inputs this time around, but they are ALL 4K/165Hz though. It seems to be running Android 14 (from 12) with a much later build and security patch level. Google TV seems to be about the same or slightly snapper than the U8N. Storage still 20GB (minus system use, formatting, etc.) Within all the TV menus, there are additional settings added, some moved and others re-arranged compared to the U8N. One I like is a speed test within the Network & Internet settings for example. There is a Quick Tab Tools option on the bottom menu that I think is new, etc.With this TV, I’m just connecting gaming consoles via HDMI (Xbox, PlayStation & Switch 2 one day) and an HDTV antenna for one local channel for storm updates. I’m NOT using WIFI, eARC, PC connection, Fire TV Cube, Apple TV, etc. I hope to try the USB-C input on the side at some point as a display input.First impressions of image quality: little to no vignetting in the corners (way less than the U8N); less Blooming thanks to the additional zones and tech; SDR and all HDR looked great to me with little to no setting changes. Gradients look fine for an 8-Bit FRC display. Motion smoothing is great, but I still personally prefer it off. Motion overall seems on par with the U8N: again, with no setting changes. As such, I must note that there are more image settings (especially Intelligent and AI) than the U8N. Console gaming wise, everything is great in every mode (all Xbox and PlayStation resolutions, refresh rates, etc. are fully supported). I still really like the Game Bar just like U8N. This time around there are themes that can be set to automatically change for PC, Xbox, PlayStation and Switch.The 4.1.2 sound is OK. I don’t use soundbars, but I think anyone who does will continue to do so with the TV – or use a surround sound system. I’m still experimenting with the sound settings. I do use the room acoustics setting like on the U8N by using the remote’s mic. More sound options than the U8N and certainly a different sound right out of the box.

Title: Hisense 55″ Class U8 Series Mini-LED ULED 4K UHD 55U8QG
Review: My first delivery was on Wednesday afternoon. They unboxed it, attached the stand and plugged it in. It came on and there was this crack going along the length of the TV. The box was not damaged so I can only conclude that it was damaged at its original place of origin. The driver notified Amazon of its defectiveness. Shortly after the drivers left with the broken TV, I got a call from Amazon. They were refunding my money, and I had to reorder the TV. This morning I was notified via text that my order was soon to arrive. This time the set up went on without a hitch. I’m so happy! The Hisense 55″ Class U8 Series Mini-LED ULED 4K UHD 55U8QG has sharp vibrant colors. Great sound, and a very good bang for my buck!

Title: Impressive Visuals and Sound with Feature-Rich Experience, Minor Adjustments Needed
Review: As a user upgrading to the Hisense 55″ U8 Series Min-LED TV (2025 model), the first things that stood out were the brightness and contrast. The Mini-LED Pro tech really delivers on peak brightness, and the local dimming helps create more depth in darker scenes. The QLED color reproduction is also impressive, offering vibrant and sharp visuals across different types of content.Gaming performance is another highlight. The native 165Hz panel with VRR, AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, and low latency features make it a solid choice for fast-paced gaming. The Game Mode Ultra, along with the on-screen Game Bar, adds convenience for gamers who like to tweak settings quickly.The built-in 4.1.2 surround sound system delivers good immersion for movies and sports, with clear separation and depth in the audio, especially the up-firing speakers for overhead effects. Dolby Vision IQ and Atmos support make a noticeable difference in both visuals and audio for supported content.The Hi-View AI Engine seems to work well for automatic picture and sound tuning, though at times the enhancements can feel a bit too aggressive depending on the content. Fortunately, this can be adjusted in the settings.Google TV integration is smooth and provides a lot of streaming options, though the initial setup process could be a bit more intuitive for new users. The Anti-Reflection Pro coating helps reduce glare, but some reflections are still visible in very bright rooms.Overall, the TV packs a lot of premium features and performs well in both entertainment and gaming scenarios. A few UI refinements and more fine-tuning options for AI enhancements would make the experience even better.

Title: Android and iOS Support + Great Screen
Review: I really like everything about this TV. The 165HZ screen allows me to be flexible and connect my gaming laptop for gaming. Most importantly for our household is that we have both Android and iOS users so having access to both Apple Airplay and Google Cast is great. I really enjoy how the Google Assistant is built right into the box. I’m not sure if it’s up to Google or Hisense to later upgrade it to Gemini but having the assistant alone helps for quick YouTube searches. It can be tedious to search things using a TV remote but Hisense went above and beyond at providing alternatives to prevent using a remote. I have enjoyed watching sports, game content, and YouTube on the TV. I really think the 55” is a good sweet spot for most households and think this TV fits all my needs.

Title: High-end TV at a Mid-tier Price With Great Sound and Picture
Review: This TV replaced a 65″ Hisense U8 which is about 4 years old, still working just fine. I love the picture quality on this TV as it is bright, even during the daytime and the colors look very natural, not oversaturated like some OLED TV’s I have seen. I also am very happy that Hisense has made it easy to turn off the Google Assistant and its mic, unlike earlier models. The sound is also better on this TV through the eARC connection due to having HDMI 2.1 as I have the TV connected to a very high quality home theater sound system. Of course, the built-in sound system of this TV is much better than the average TV speaker system if you don’t have a surround sound system. The setup was also easier than earlier models. Highly recommended!
