HISENSE 55U8HQTUK (55 Inch) Quantum Dot 1300-nit 4K HDR10+, 120Hz Dolby Vision IQ Mini-LED Smart TV with Disney+, Freeview Play and Alexa Built-in, HDMI 2.1 and Filmmaker Mode, FreeSync (2022 NEW)

Product Information

As we were counting the backlight was switching off completely at the end of each zone, so it is possible we missed one column on each axis). To the bottom of the panel on the front is the slim soundbar which boasts sound provided by JBL through a small badge on the left end of the bar. On the Hisense, we found Cinema Night to be the most accurate picture mode, with gamma at BT1886 and panel brightness set for our testing room. The viewing angles of the U8QF are not great but are as expected from this type of LCD TV and when watching from the dead centre the image quality is good.

Hisense 55U7HQTUK review - Which?

On an industry-standard 10% window, we saw a peak brightness measurement of 1454 nits in the HDR Filmmaker Mode, with 100% topping in at 565 nits. 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’re after a TV that supports the latest picture and gaming features: There’s no Dolby Vision IQ, no Filmmaker mode, no HDMI 2. In the party scenes of The Great Gatsby, the cuts and textures of black suit jackets and dark hair come through without appearing washed out, while the whites of balloons and shirts in the same frames look quite bright.

The intensity of the colours; the reflection of the city lights on Danger – it all looks great in 4K HDR. Based on the power usage when being viewed and in standby and the presence and effectiveness of power-saving features such as a light sensor or radio screen blanking. All changes will be posted at your Device or through update with reasonable period before they become effective.

Out of the box, in Theater Day mode with an SDR signal, the U8H shows a peak brightness of 711 nits with a full-screen white field and 1,410 nits with an 18% field. In terms of accurate picture presets the U8HQ provides IMAX Enhanced and Filmmaker Modes to provide content with greyscale and colour accuracy to the industry standards. We noted some mild frame skipping with some 50Hz broadcast material, especially around fast edits within programs. The 55U8QFUK has multi-HDR support, a full array local dimming backlight and an integrated speaker system tuned by JBL. The panel uniformity was good with a slightly darker centre on a 5% full field slide and lighter edges.

WE DO NOT ENDORSE ANY OF THE IDEAS, PRODUCTS, PERSONS, OR OPINIONS EXPRESSED IN THE SMART SERVICES AND/OR MATERIALS. Looking at the greyscale we can see that as the scale gets brighter, red dips in energy and blue hovers around the 100% point, with green eventually getting high by around 5%.
