Hisense 55″ Class U8 Series Mini-LED ULED 4K UHD Google Smart TV

The Hisense 55U8G has great 4K resolution with Mini-LED backlighting for contrast and brightness. It’s 165Hz refresh rate and includes AMD FreeSync, giving a smooth, lag-free experience. Dolby Vision IQ and Atmos improve picture and sound quality, while Google TV adds smart functionality.

Hisense has slashed the price on its latest 55″ Class U8 smart TV, and you can now pick one up for $1,100 on Amazon. That’s a $500 discount (27%) from the original MSRP of $500, and a great deal for anyone who needs a new 55-inch TV with updated smart features.

The 55U8QG’s great picture quality comes from its mix of QLED and Mini-LED technology and Full Array Local Dimming. The higher brightness improves contrast, giving you deeper blacks and brighter highlights. At the same time, the Mini-LED backlighting allows for precise control over different zones, nearly eliminating halos and sharpening the image. Together, these features produce stunning visuals with up to 5000 nits of peak brightness and over a billion colors. Dolby Vision IQ further enhances the picture by automatically adjusting settings based on what you’re watching and the lighting in your room.

Those who love video games should like the 55U8QG’s 165Hz native refresh rate, which cuts down on motion blur and makes fast-paced games look smoother. It also includes AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, Auto Low Latency Mode, and Low Latency MEMC, which remove screen tearing and input lag for a more responsive gaming experience.

The special 165Hz Game Mode Ultra, with its variable refresh rate (48Hz to 165Hz), makes sure you get a smooth performance no matter the frame rate. The built-in Game Bar lets you easily tweak game settings from the TV’s remote and on-screen menu.

Beyond visuals, the 55U8QG delivers powerful sound with its eight speakers and a 4.1.2 multi-channel surround sound system, which puts out 66W of audio power. With Google TV built-in, you get easy access to all your favorite streaming services in one simple interface. The TV measures 1.9 inches deep, 48.4 inches wide, and 28.1 inches tall, weighing 39.5 pounds, so it’s a solid but manageable size for any home theater setup. It uses 220W of power.
