Why you should buy the Hisense U8N Series

Our in-house TV guru, Caleb Denison, reviewed the Hisense U8N back in May 2024 and gave the premium QLED 4 out of 5 stars. “The Hisense U8N is one of the best TVs of the year — especially if you don’t want to pay OLED prices.” The Hisense U8N delivers the arresting peak brightness levels we’ve come to expect from Hisense LEDs. Both SDR and HDR content look vibrant, and the TV definitely gets bright enough to be placed in a brightly lit room. 

The revamped chipset on the U8N is meant for enhanced lighting and contrast levels, the latter of which is another strong suit of this TV. The U8N achieves the type of inky blacks we’d expect from a premium OLED, never mind a reasonably priced LED model. The U8N also has a native 144Hz refresh rate, HDMI 2.1 connectivity on ports 3 and 4, and VRR and ALLM support, so it’s a great TV for console and PC gamers

The U8N also features the Google TV OS for things like Netflix streaming, screen mirroring, and even smart home controls.

Improved navigation, speaker sorting, and new iOS volume controls are arriving gradually and must initially be enabled manually
Furniture, Electronics, Speaker

The Sonos app is getting a substantial usability overhaul. Familiar bottom tabs should make it easier to move around, while customizable speaker ordering could take some friction out of managing a multiroom system.

Sonos community manager ShaunFromSonos announced that the release may take up to two weeks to reach everyone. Once it arrives, users must switch on Enable Improved Navigation in the app’s settings to unlock the new layout and sorting tools.
