Hey everyone! I wanted to stop in and say thank you all for the encouraging comments. Really appreciate it. Also, the the QM8 vs. U8K comparison is coming soon! Thanks for your patience!
*BROOOO I NEED SETTINGS FOR MY QM8 (which I love btw)*
By chance can you tell me which powered screw driver you're using? Thanks!
Thanks for not wanting to "cut corners" and proving why you are among a very small handful of reviewers I put my faith in. Hopefully the same issues don't show up in the replacement.
Hey Caleb, love your reviews when are we going to see the s90c review??
Can you do star field test please it is an excellent stress test it show blooming, black crush and local dimming behavior hope you see this
Love the honesty. It’s hard to find that love of integrity and only a few reviewers are kept in high regard with me. Keep up the great work and look forward to seeing your next reviews!
your review of the TCL R635 is what made me finally take the leap from my 50" Panasonic Plasma to a 55" R635 in Oct 2020 & then to a 65" TCL R646 in Jan 2022...
you have EARNED my trust Caleb & always ask the things I would if I was standing there!!
Keep on rockin!
Props from Halifax NS Canada
I bet you miss your plasma if you think about it. Those TVs were amazing
How has your experience been on the R646, I've been looking into buying a 75" now in 2024
As always total respect to you Caleb for your work look forward to seeing the full results and review once you have replacement
I've been waiting on your review of the U8k. Glad you explained why that is not happening and am very pleased to wait. It was your review of the Hisense U8H that made start looking at Hisense and TCL tv's. Love your reviews and how you explain everything. Keep up the great work.
The CNET shade is well-deserved. They review very few models now and every year an LG C-Series is their best of the year. They refuse to review Sony OLEDs, for some reason.
Probably AI doing all of their reviews.
LG is probably paying them
According to whom?
Thanks for the integrity and patience. That's gotta be frustrating, especially given how popular both your reviews are and the anticipation for this particular model. Looking forward to your thoughts on a properly functioning panel!
Amazed how far brands like Hisense and TCL have come
And how far the previous budget TV darling, Vizio, has fallen.
Like how LG and Samsung did from the 90s until now
@@ChesterMan-qd3xj I made the mistake of buying a Vizio in 2020. The panel looks good but the firmware is so buggy it’s ridiculous. Total roll of the dice if all your settings will get reset for no good reason 😡
@@ChesterMan-qd3xjI loved my 2018 P Series. I hope they come back with a vengeance. Vizio seems like the only major US tv brand lol.
There chinese and steal tech. Not that hard
I’m not even in the tv market currently and I watch most of your videos for the good information! Thank you!
As someone on the edge of their seat for news of the U8K and its release I appreciate the update and content :) looking forward to the full review
Caleb - Thanks for making the right decision. I always enjoy watching you and your reviews. It’s like having a good friend in the ‘biz.’ Lots of love to you and your family! ❤️
Thank you Caleb for being so detailed and diligent in your analysis! Will wait for your review
Congratulations on having over 1 million subscribers. Always excellent tech reviews.
Your reviews format is
always improving. I will not complain about that... ; - )
Thanks a lot for your very professional work! 👍👍
Thank you for the honesty!
I really appreciate it, and it is something I look for on a reviewer.
This is the difference between LTT and Caleb and Digital Trends. You go the extra mile and make sure you're delivering fair results. Thanks for being awesome!
Hey Caleb! Really enjoy your content and look forward to it. You probably do the best in depth TV reviews that I've seen 😊. Great job!!
Really waiting for the full review, great work! I’m in the market for a new tv this year, Caleb great job.
great review and comments. Thanks. Looking forward to your final review.
We like Caleb Denison tech unboxing ASMR more than a David Katzmaier unboxing. I appreciate the more involved process Digital Trends puts into their content. Thanks for the video DT!🤘
You do a great job, all my TV decisions have taken your recommendations and review into my purchasing decision!

I was waiting for this video. Cheers man!
I have their 55U8G and 65U8H and couldn't be more pleased. The sub-woofer on the back of the 65U8H really enhances the sound.
I don't go to CNET for tv reviews. This is channel I'll tune into because y'all helped me get the LG CX and I'm still loving that TV TO THIS DAY
It was great of you to hold back Caleb - looking forward to your review when the new one drops.
Can't wait for the "official" Caleb review. I've been bouncing back and forth between selecting either the TCL or the Hisense based on spec sheets and leaning toward the Hisense as they released the U8K spec sheets just recently. I appreciate that you didn't present a qualified review for the pre production release version as an engineer who has had lots of experience with beta testing of my group's developments. Till later.....
I’d get the qm8 better customer service and a nice tv
@@SsShadowbaneSsS I own a TCL 6 series and even though I got a good one TCL does have KNOWN quality issues...I'm buying the U8K because after the first firmware update I already have seen improvement from reivews online...Customer service from HISENSE is great per most customers who have actually bought their TVs...Don't believe the rumors...
@petedetraglia4776 tcl q7 is just as good at a fraction of the cost. I would not spend the extra money on a u8k. Not enough improvements for the cost. And tcl q7 switched to Google as the os instead of roku. It's an incredible TV
@@SsShadowbaneSsStcl is just as good for a bit cheaper than both the qm8 and the u8k.
don’t get the hisense
I’ve always liked your demeanor, presentation style, and overall approach. Still do after years of watching. Not arrogant at all, and very respectful. Keep up the good work 🙏
I thoroughly enjoy these videos and reviews! I won't buy another tv without making sure I check if Caleb has positively reviewed it
Great work like always. I'm really interested in the u8k vs qm8 video.
Qm8 won
Covering CNET and telling Hisense to do better was the best thing ever. Awesome job😂
What's CNET?
@@BunkMasterFlex77
Garbage.
They do sponsored/paid reviews and will positively push products that aren't necessarily great. I.e. Bose. Bose pays the majority of their profits towards advertising rather than product quality. Hence why almost everyone knows the brand.
@@KaoruSugimura David Katzmaier is a respected TV reviewer and not nearly the cheerleader as Caleb. His televisions are provided by the manufacturer just like they are with Denison.
@@KaoruSugimura that is what youtube is for, any 'review' should be taken with a grain of salt
@@johnb4905 i like Davids reviews but fuck me, i can't find ANYTHING anymore on CNET, its all just SEO / Deal bullshit spamming, that site turned to absolute garbage
Can’t wait for your U7K full review 😊
Been wait 4ds review d whole year 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞

Great! Initial thoughts would you recommend upgrading to this from the 2021 Hisense U8G?
Caleb is hilarious. Love his funny humour as part of these reviews. Nice and dry. Keep it up Caleb.
I appreciate the truth explanation about get a new TV sample to provide a good, accurate and profesional review. In that way this channel avoids the situation happened before with the H8G
As a fellow AV Engineer, I appreciate your review. You have a new sub.
I watch a lot of your reviews and really think you do a great job, they are not only fact filled but fun and entertaining.
I am really watching closely now because it is new TV time and the QM8’and maybe this Hisense are candidates. I really lust after the QM8 98 to replace my 75” TCL 825 but these HiSense ……
Caleb, you do a great job and CZcams is the perfect medium for you.
Interesting analysis. Awesome and informative
My recent experience with Hisense is that even when you turn off motion smoothing, it's still not completely off. For picture modes like Dolby Vision, you still have to turn it off there as well. And with Dolby Vision, the settings for that don't appear unless you're inputting a DV signal.
They have different settings for each picture mode and input signal. (SDR and HDR)
@@JoshuaBarrio That's what I was trying to say. Thanks.
So can it be fully turned off?
@@robwatumd It seems that you can but you need to make sure that you input every type of picture sub-mode (like Dolby Vision) that you can because those sub-modes all have their own unique settings menus that are only accessible when that particular sub-mode is being input. And some measure of motion-smoothing is turned on by default in all of them -- even if you happen to be using Filmmaker Mode. The implementation is completely ridiculous...and insidious.
so what . you can stil turn it off. im sure the motion is not as bad as samsung tht forces a bit og soap opera even when turned off@@Downhuman74
The integrity you clearly stated is worth the wait for an accurate review from your good self Caleb. Looking forward to it once Hisense send you the replacement.
Cheers! ✌🏻🇦🇺
I 🎉am excited for Hisense UX video !! 😊 hope it come out soon
Presently using a 50inch Hisense Roku tv, one of the best tv’s I’ve ever had⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ looks like this might be one for the near future👌
Hi Caleb, love your reviews! ....are you testing the 75" as well? it has a different panel, and I would like to know if the blacks are as good as a VA panel (+viewing angles should be be better)
I'm also curious to see performance differeces between a 65" U8K which uses a VA panel and the 75" version which reportedly uses an IPS panel. Better viewing angles...contrast ratio?
Hi Caleb, can't wait for your U8K review and U8K vs. QM8 comparison!!! Question, Hisense's webpage for the U8K shows it will be available in 85" and 100" sizes but I can't figure out when they will release. They seem to be seriously lagging behind the 55" through 75" sizes for availability. Any chance you can get some concrete details on the larger sizes release date(s) from Hisense? Thanks!
Great Intro! please do a comparo between U8K and U8H.
Love the review. Very detailed. Thanks 4 that. I have the 65" tv on my Xmas list. Thanks 4 sharing! See you on your replacement review video. Cheers! 😎😎😎😎
Be warned - Hisense uses different panel types for the same model number in different regions! That is outrages and means many reviews may not reflect what you end up receiving.
Addng, this is known as "panel lottery" but at least with O-LED there's just LG and Samsung, In some countries, they swap model numbers so, you cannot even trust SKUs.
@@xlaapethat’s not what panel lottery refers to
UK version are way more inferior PLEASE BE WARNED
That’s why Hisense isn’t any better than lg and Samsung in the uk.
They are substantially inferior to their other region counterparts and even lg and Samsung in the uk
im kind of happy tho ebcasue of it i got a 85 inch ips panel which i want
Excellent almost review. Looking forward to seeing the complete review when you have the replace. This is what a review should be. Thanks for the honesty and the quality of the review.😂
keep the good work... thank you Sr.
Love your channel
Thank you. I'll be back for that review.
what im curious about is if they are doing the every other pixel row skip when using vrr or 120+ refresh rate while gaming like they have in past models.
I bought a Hisense and it lasted two years before dying. Never again. Sticking with Sony from now on.
Your review is worth the wait. I really appreciate the "colour" that your reviews provide, numbers and stats are great, but being able to put them into the greater context of an "experience" really helps with getting a sense of what owning a tv would be like.
I’m salivating. Can’t wait! I love your channel. I WILL be buying an 85 inch in the coming days/weeks. It’s between the TCL QM8 and the Hisense U8K. BUT… I’m not 100% sure there will be an 85 Inch U8K. Can you clear that up for us? Thanks Again.
Just wondering Caleb if the replacement they send you if it corrects the issues you pointed out., how will we the Consumer be confident that there isn't random quality issues in their production line? Looking forward to the next review on the replacement set. I am still rocking my TCL Series 6 '65" R635. I've been thinking about moving up to a 75" and have looked at OLED and The New TCL QM850. My Series 6 Still looks pleasing. Looking forward to more of your reviews of the new models. Love your Channel!
Thank you it help's a lot
Glad to see that you didn’t want to give a review for a perceived faulty product. Good on you
Well this channel outlasted quantum TV. I'm really happy about that
Hey stuff happens.
Looking forward to the comparisons.
I was holding out for the 75in u8k but went ahead on and got the 77in s90c. Can't believe I waited at all. The TV is unmatched🔥
Which is the best TVs you would you recommend and how much would you think would cost just curious thank you
thanks Pal, you are the best 💯
A little over a month ago I picked up the 65" U8H paired it with a Vizio 5.1.4-Channel Elevate Sound bar and just love the setup.... Thanks
The elevate is a great sound bar. It's my first surround sound and boy o boy am I happy. I'm paired to a LG CX.
I am sure you are busy, but I am really waiting for the final review. I recently purchased a 55U8K but am disappointed by the fall off in color off axis. Should I retire it and shop elsewhere or will your settings help minimize the ghosting of human faces above 45 degrees off axis? Thanks in advance for your great reviews.
I have the TCL 55C845. It is nowhere near OLED contrast but still managing to get to a good level and for the fraction of the cost, there is no comparison.
QUESTION: Does the Hisense U8K allow USB cards formatted in the NTFS format and/or exFat format to play video files in the mkv and mp4 formats? And are the videos capable of playing the audio formats of AC3, DTS, and AAC? I'm asking because I watch a lot of videos from a USB card on an LG TV that is compatible with all those things. But, a Toshiba TV I have is only compatible with the outdated FAT32 format so only very small files can work.
Love to see calibrated u8k vs calibrated qm8!!!!!!!!
You sound sick.. so get well soon..! Can you focus on how it compares to U8H? What has improved over the previous models? Can you dig deeper into the number of dimming zones for both U8H and U8K (also TCL ones)!
Great, cause I'm interested in this TV!!!!
id love to see another dual layer lcd from them
I put mine at Max brightness on the Vivid setting. It will melt your eyes at night but looks great in my very bright living room. Also games on the Xbox Series X look fantastic!!!
Hello, I know the U7K model hasn't been reviewed yet, as you mentioned the U8K which mentions on specs has 1500 nits, but, does better. Would the U7K do better than 1000 nits it claims on specs? Also, a firestick plugged into 144hz hdmi slot, will it give better viewing quality? Thanks!
If companies really wanted to improve the remotes add illumination. The best remote I have is from an old Bose Lifestyle. You push a button on the back and all the keys glow. I just got a new LG and I really like the TV. The new magic remote is nice, but no backlighting.
"Almost is not good enoigh for me and more importantly, almost is not good enough for you"
This is why your reviews are always appreciated. You're always making sure you are delivering the best you can for us as followers and consumers. I have no real interest in picking up a Hisense tv, at least not anytime soon. Bought a Sony not to long ago. However, I still tune in because I always like to see how companies are moving forward and improving the products they ship. And, in some cases, get those warnings of products and/or trends rolling back progress in the space. So even though this Hisense review doesn't affect me at all, I still appreciate the transparency and work put into it.
Keep up the great work!
Good job man
The best part is the box it came in... Did you see that box.. I mean WOW... And the tape... Double WOW! Thanks for such a great review of all the cardboard.. genius
Appreciate you - great job.
Excellent video. I have the U8K 75 inch. I fine tuned SDR and HDR settings and it's awesome I think its performing like my Bravia XR A95L.
When you do the U8K vs QM8 comparison, will you please spend some time on the AI upscaling on both TVs?
hi have been your fan from kenya I need your advise between hisense u7g or lg oled A2 which should I buy
Fingers crossed 🤞🏼 that the replacement doesn’t eff up too!
Hi Caleb, when will you do a review on the Samsung QN900C 8k NEO QLED? Would be very interested in your view on that TV. Thanks
This channel is why I’m addicted to tv’s but I’m not complaining 🤣
Quatum TV is good for reviews too. I bought 2 tv aft him showed Em aft calibration . Turn out d TV matched his Calibration . I was enjoying his Honesty for review . Caleb is good too. He is more politically correct but I understand there business involved 😅
When it came to choosing between the U8H or U8K. I went with the U8H. Why? I feel there are more features on the U8H. The U8K feels more simplified. That's fine but I prefer a little more to work with in regards to settings. The super resolution may look nice but can over sharpen the image causing objects to have a slight halo around the edge. This was or still may be a feature on Sony and LG TV's but I never used it. The black level adjustment can be tricky. The U8H has something similar in the game settings and it's best to leave it at zero. Turning it up can wash out shadows. Turning it down can cause shadow crushing. Please understand these my opinions and mine alone. Always look forward to the next tech review. Keep up the amazing work. Hope you and your family are doing well.
I love ur tv stand! Where can I find this exact same one?
Curious if you get a U6K in for testing because that's got to be the cheapest mini LED around... but can the rest of the TV keep up with the stunning colors?
I got a hisense roku TV last year, ita been great and got a very good deal. Awesome tv ❤
The question is: would an average consumer be able to detect such issue (such as the blue/cyan color anomaly) in time to return it, or at all? And would they receive the VIP treatment and response that Caleb can expect from Hisense? I guess that's the price we have to pay for a "value" product: it's the luck of the draw. And most folks are overly optimistic w.r.t their chances..
You could just change the color temperature lol
I've got a Hisense 43N6 4k . Absolutely brilliant TV
Man please tell me you guys are getting the ux? That thing is bonkers & i wanna know if finally miniled can beat oled & by looks of the specs it looks like it.
Any news-update on when the Sony A95L comes out??? That's the BIG one!
Do you get the information pop up on the u8h as well ?
What shoes are you wearing,=? they look comfy and professional
You definitely have my sub. This content is next level. For me cannafarm ltd was the turning point. Please keep doing what you do and keep being you, love it.
I was told that the Hisense 65" and 75" use a different panel. Does that make a difference in picture quality?
Great review. What is the latest hisense TV as I want to buy in Gambia. I went to the Indian shops in the Gambia and they told me A6 series is the latest which I did not believe.
