In ourHisense U8N review, we were particularly impressed by its powerful local dimming which yielded excellent shadow detail and gave “pictures a strong sense of dimensionality”. Colors were also vibrant and bright, which made “uniforms look rich and robust” when watching the Paris 2024 Olympics. Mini-LED TVs usually suffer from backlight blooming, but the U8N showed very little blooming effects during our testing. It does suffer in the motion handling department, but some settings tweaking will mostly solve this.

Elsewhere, the Hisense U8N carries a good array of gaming features including 4K 144Hz, VRR (AMD FreeSync Premium Pro supported), ALLM and Dolby Vision gaming. Its performance won’t beat thebest gaming TVsbut it’s still a great gaming option. The U8N also delivers surprisingly effective built-in sound from its 2.1.2-channel speaker array, especially when it comes to Dolby Atmos soundtracks. As we said in our review, “Plenty of people will be happy with the U8N’s built-in speakers”.
