Hello Everyone,
Pros:
Let me just start by saying This TV is Amazing and I think you should try it if you are in the market for a New TV and dont want to spend too much money!!! This TV simply smokes many of the LG, Samsung, or Sony tvs that are in the similar price range or even that are a little bit more expensive. Is it as good as an OLED? No, but it is pretty close! I was gonna buy an OLED but i was worried for Burn-in. I am so glad I bought Hisense U8H and saved a ton of money! I never bought a Hisense tv before this so this is my first Hisense TV. I was using a Samsung KS8000 before for my Game Room. I bought this Hisense U8H 4 months ago especially for Gaming and some Movie Watching. I currently have a 2016 Samsung KS8000 (Edge-Lit) and also a 2017 Sony X900F (Full-Array) paid double for both of these tvs and honestly U8H beats both of them as far as picture quality goes. Blacks are very deep even in the dark room. Believe me when I say this: This TV gets ridiculously BRIGHT!!! I didn't notice a whole lot of blooming. Only noticed it on some occasions but in comparison to my other TVs this U8H is sooooo much better!!! Gaming on it is super amazing, colors are Rich & Vibrant! I do not have the current consoles so I can't say anything about 120hz but upon reading different posts on reddit and after the latest firmware update it works perfectly fine. Sound Quality is pretty good for a TV (it has a 20W Subwoofer in the back). Software wise it is pretty good much faster/smoother than my other tvs. Motion is pretty good but I keep the motion settings off for my movies. Upscaling is good but I think Samsung and Sony upscale the older content much better. Remember: You have to turn "Enhanced Mode" to on for 120hz to work (there is plenty of information you can find on the internet and many YouTube videos about it)
Cons:
It does have color banding issue (which is still not fixed with a latest Firmware) that I've noticed in some games and movies but personally it doesn't bother me so if you are sensitive to that then keep this in mind before buying.
Annoying 4 led lights that come on after you turn the mic button to off ( I think you can also turn it off in the software, but I've gotten used to it so doesn't bother me anymore.
Final thoughts:
I think for me these are the only cons and overall this is a very good TV. Would I recommend to buy this TV? Absolutely YES!!! Try it and if you don't like it you can always return it. Also, If you get a bad unit don't worry just replace it! This getting a bad unit happens with every manufacturer (maybe I am not sure upon reading some reviews it happens more with Hisense I don't know, but I got lucky the first time) it happened to me in the past with Samsung & Sony as well.
Good Luck! 👍
