Dialogue is clean and sounds like it’s coming from the on-screen action rather than the speaker below the screen, and finally that large woofer on the 65U8HQ’s rear underpins the action with healthy amounts of reasonably deep and well-sustained bass.

And the Hisense’s HDR performance is likable. Colours are bright, well balanced, and punchy in HDR Standard mode. Complexions convince and are further refined by Dolby Vision. The kids of Spider-Man: Far From Home have punch and colour to their skin tone and it adds to the Hisense’s attractive picture. The 65U8HQ has enough premium tools at its disposal to potentially fit in perfectly with a much higher echelon of TV than we’re accustomed to seeing from Hisense. It sounds good outside of its Dolby Atmos mode, and there are times – in light rooms with uniformly punchy HDR content – where the TV’s brightness and Quantum Dot colours really deliver the goods.

The main HDR formats are repped in HDR10, HLG, HDR10+ and Dolby Vision. Hisense says the 65U8QFTUK can hit a peak brightness of 1000 nits – and it can certainly go bright. HDR content is given a punchy, gleaming, near three-dimensional presentation at times. Buy It Direct Ltd is a limited company registered in England. Registered number 04171412.

The Hisense 65U8QF TUK is at the top of Hisense’s 2020 TV range, and it looks to provide a value-added and simple smart experience compared to the big guns in the market . Let’s start with what’s good. The bezel is discreet enough to not intrude on the TV viewing experience, and the depth of the set is just 78mm without the stand, making it appreciatively slim in appearance. As a big-screen fitting for sports and movies, it also starts at a slightly cheaper asking price than the U7QF model it replaces. But does the more affordable price suggest the A7G is a downgrade on what came before? DesignWe’re now onto VIDAA U 5.0 and if there’s a difference between this version and previous one, then I’m not seeing it. That said, despite its plain appearance, there’s no argument about navigation and operation. The VIDAA interface is easy to use and there’s something to be said about an interface that settles for that level of simplicity.
