Hisense U8K Review: A Great Screen for Well-Lit Rooms

With great power comes great responsibility. That's just one of the lessons I learned from Spider-Man over the years, or, in this case, his various uncle Bens. I think any Ben Parker would be proud of Hisense's latest model in the U8 TV series, the U8K (65U8K), which leverages its powerful mini-LED backlighting system for nuclear-level brightness alongside responsibly tempered local dimming control for excellent contrast and black levels. The result is dazzling, flagship-like performance at a mid-tier price. Like its predecessor, the U8H (8/10, WIRED Recommends), the U8K also sports an intuitive, if slightly sluggish, Google TV interface for simplified navigation, and offers quick setup and a relatively stylish design.
