Hisense U8QG TV Review: Beautifully Bright, Tough to Tame

WIRED

If you're after a crazy-bright TV, Hisense's U8 series has you covered. In the past few years, each new U8 model has ramped up the juice considerably, with the U8QG offering another powerful upgrade over last year's U8N (8/10, WIRED Recommends). Considering I freely referred to the U8N with words like "nuclear" and "weapons-grade," that's saying something. Of course, while TV brightness is key for bolstering colors and hitting the hottest HDR (high dynamic range) highlights, brighter doesn't always mean better. The 65-inch U8QG review model I tested has some knocks against it, including some odd color inaccuracies in SDR (standard dynamic range), a more convoluted setup process than usual, and maybe most notable, just three HDMI ports instead of the four you'll get with last year's model (and virtually all rivals).
