![]() ![]() The LG OLED evo G3, commonly known as the LG G3 OLED, offers the best of all worlds: It’s an OLED TV, so you get perfect blacks, infinite contrast, and intense colors, but it also boasts astonishing brightness that guarantees you won’t miss out on the full impact of the thrilling HDR effects so essential to movies today. Read the full review: Hisense U8K Mini-LED TV Like Roku, Google TV is fairly agnostic - it doesn’t really care which streaming services you use and won’t refer you to one more than any others. Smart TV: On-board the U8K is Google TV, the successor to Android TV - and arguably one of the better smart TV platforms on the market right now. What we like most about Google TV is its ability to surface content that you might like from any number of streaming services. The latter, however, isn’t a huge deal as anything lower than 20 milliseconds is considered nearly imperceptible, but it does mean that serious gamers will be better served with one of the other TVs on that table. The former means that colors, while vibrant, aren’t going to look all that natural. The only areas that the Hisense U8K didn’t perform as strongly in were color accuracy (Delta-E) - which it scored the worst of all four TVs we tested - and input latency. This is an almost David and Goliath type of tale with Hisense being the perennial underdog. This TV goes toe-to-toe with the much more expensive Samsung QN90C and beats it in key categories like SDR brightness and color saturation. Performance: Saying that we’re shocked about the Hisense U8K’s test results would be an understatement. If you can, we suggest going for the wider stance for better stability - at nearly 60 pounds you wouldn’t want this TV tipping over - but the narrower stance works fine, too. The U8K allows for two different leg configurations, a wider stance and a narrower one, to accommodate different spaces. If you want to place it on a table or entertainment center, like I did for our review, you can use the included metal legs to hold it upright. Thankfully, the U8K uses the 400mm x 400mm VESA Wall Mount Standard so you won’t have to struggle too hard to find a mount that will fit the screen. These issues don’t prevent the Hisense U8K from being one of the best TVs on the market - and one I’ll keep coming back to watch - but it does mean that gamers looking for the fastest response times and cinephiles looking for the most accurate colors might want to look at some other options like the LG C3 OLED or Samsung S95C OLED instead.ĭesign: At 56.4 pounds this TV is relatively hefty and will require two people to put into place, especially if you plan on wall-mounting. The TV’s color volume is absolutely massive, but its accuracy of 4.46 as measured in our Delta-E test leaves a lot to be desired. Among the ones we found during our testing period were middling input lag (13.2ms) and slightly long load times when jumping from one streaming app to another. It might be a party in the front, but it’s all business in the back of the screen.ĭespite these enviable qualities, the Hisense U8K isn’t without its faults. Key to the U8K’s success are the Mini-LED Pro with Full Array Local Dimming panel that helps the TV retain good black levels in scenes with higher levels of brightness and a quantum dot layer that allows the TV to cover a groundbreaking 80% of the Rec2020 Color Space. ![]() ![]() Even in a room with lots of ambient lighting, colors with deep hues don’t lose their saturation and the results are truly mesmerizing. The Hisense U8K Mini-LED offers flashy colors that look great in a brightly lit room. ![]()
