Increasingly long work hours, increasingly absurd vacation policies, wages that haven't risen in years, and continuously soaring living costs have dramatically transformed our consumption habits. The term "consumption upgrade" was incredibly popular just a few years ago, but now it seems like a joke. While we might compromise on daily necessities, when it comes to purchasing entertainment products, we absolutely cannot be casual—we must compare at least three options, which in turn forces companies to work harder than ever. Take the TV industry I'm most familiar with: Chinese brands have comprehensively outperformed Japanese brands in specifications in just about two years.
When selecting a TV, every penny must be spent wisely. This review focuses on Hisense's new U8N flagship model, positioned as a "ULED AI Image Quality Expert"—can it satisfy the entertainment needs of budget-conscious consumers?
The Hisense U8N features an independently developed AI Image Quality Chip Pro, capable of detecting and analyzing scenes to calculate and output the optimal backlighting and imaging algorithms, presenting the most suitable picture quality for current viewing preferences.
For instance:
- When watching action movies, it uses AI object intelligent perception to detect car chases and fight scenes, restoring fleeting brilliant details
- For occasionally watching low-quality older films, it employs AI dynamic super-resolution to enhance image clarity
- In dark-scene movies like "Game of Thrones", it uses AI super-depth perception to enhance subject recognition, improving contrast and creating a more three-dimensional image depth
Let's look at the hardware specifications. The 75-inch version boasts:
- 2880-zone local dimming
- 5000-nit peak brightness
- Native 4K 165Hz refresh rate
These parameters alone are already top-tier in its price range. Bright where it needs to be bright, dark where it needs to be dark—this is the most direct hardware experience upgrade.
The U8N continues Hisense's custom Obsidian Screen, adding anti-reflection and wide-angle membranes. The reflection rate is now just 2.3%, with further improved viewing angles. Imagine shining a phone flashlight directly on the screen without seeing significant glare or light dispersion. For those who've used projectors, you know how quickly image quality can "die" under bright light. Low reflection means you can clearly see screen content even on bright days without drawing curtains.
The excellent viewing angle is perfect for multi-person households with children or elderly members. Even when sitting off-center, you won't experience significant color shift or brightness reduction.
Color calibration is impressive:
- Nearly 99% P3 color gamut coverage
- Self-developed AI image quality chip
- Natural color reproduction without over-saturation
As an official partner for the "Black Myth: Wukong" game, we tested the TV with an RTX 4090 graphics card. Hisense's new TVs include a dedicated game mode for this title.
Highlights include:
- Transparent water rendering with realistic light penetration
- Enhanced armor detail with lifelike metallic reflections
- Excellent dark scene detail preservation
- High brightness revealing intricate textures
Audio Excellence
The U8N offers:
- Dolby Atmos + DTS V-X + Waves audio effects
- 173 frequency band fine-tuning
- Dual acoustic patent design
- 4.1.2 spatial sound field
- 109W power output
- Ten sound units
- Clear mid-to-high frequencies
Gaming-Specific Features
- 240Hz ultra-fast mode
- 4x full-bandwidth HDMI 2.1 interfaces
- ALLM automatic low latency
- VRR variable refresh rate
- FreeSync anti-tearing support
Two standout features:
1. AI Ambient Lighting: Captures screen color and sound, dynamically adjusting ambient lighting
2. Wallpaper-like mounted design: Slim, flush wall-mounting without protruding back panel
If you haven't experienced "Black Myth: Wukong" on a large screen, I recommend trying the Hisense U8N. The experience is entirely different from hunching over a monitor. The U8N excels in image quality, sound quality, interaction, and gaming performance—truly a remarkable entertainment device.
