Great upgrade from my previous tv
Had this since Monday and still finding things that amaze me. It's bright clear with amazing sound. Comes with Freely so you can use it without an aerial. Lot6 still to find out still. Many apps to try out.

Great picture and sound
I’ve only had it for a week, upgrading from a very old 3D tv, and wish I’d replaced it sooner. The picture is bright and clear, and I’ve noticed blacks are truly black, rather than what I had before. I was watching reports about the recent space flights in a dark room, and I couldn’t see the edge of the screen because the blacks were being shown correctly. The sound is great, I’ve actually sent the sound bar I bought back, as I didn’t need it. You want big rumbling base, ok you still need external speakers, but it does a really good job by itself, I haven’t been let down it. Interface is easy to navigate and there are plenty of apps to keep me going for a while, hopefully they’ll stay updated for a long time, so I no longer need to use my Google TV. Only query I had was with the terrestrial tv, as I had to sing in to ITVX to just view ITV in the schedule, I guess it’s because it uses a Freely, which I think streams TV where it can, but it would be good to have more info about that, or what would you do if you didn’t want to have an ITVx account. But so far all channels have been good quality and glitch free and easy to navigate. If you come from an old TV like me that had many generations of connections you might find only 3 hdmi ports a squeeze, another couple would’ve been handy will need to juggle a wire or two until I find a solution. Don’t think you’ll regrate getting this TV.

Excellent Acoustics & Brilliant colours.
I purchased this 55" TV a month ago and asof yet I don't have any disappointments. But it's early days. The reviews for this product are all good.

Superb TV
This is the 3rd Hisense Large TV I have owned and this is the best yet. This TV is packed full of features and the picture quality is the best yet offering the best picture in all lighting conditions. The anti glare screen certainly makes a difference and allows viewing from various angles. The sound quality from this TV is also the best and I have stopped using my Hisense Sound bar as I find the output from the TV much better. The clarity of the sound is impressive helped by the built in sub woofer and side and upward facing speakers. The build quality is impressive using top quality materials. The stand is all metal and very heavy. The TV itself is quite heavy and required 2 people to wall mount. This TV shows Hisense can produce a top quality TV than can compete with all the major TV manufacturers and deserves to do well and anyone investing in this TV will not be dissapointed and anyone seeing it will be impressed. I would easily give this TV a 5 star rating. Well done Hisense you have excelled yorself with this TV and deserve to be congratulated

Great tv for a great price!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been checking out the new Hisense 55U8QTUK MiniLED 165Hz Smart AI, and honestly… it’s amazing for the price. If you want a TV that looks high-end without paying crazy money… this might be the one. The screen is super bright, even in the middle of the day with sunlight coming in. The colors are rich, and the black parts of the screen actually look sooo dark not washed out. It’s awesome for watching movies or Netflix. The picture looks really sharp and smooth, even during fast scenes. if you are into gaming ( like me) PS5, Xbox, or even PC—this TV is a beast. It can do 4K at 165Hz, which is faster than most TVs. Games feel smooth and super responsive and very low input lag. Basically, it’s made for gaming. The sound is better than I expected. It has built-in speakers with Dolby Atmos, and it even has a little subwoofer in the back for bass. Movies and games sound full, and you might not even need a soundbar. Just a heads-up… if you mount it on the wall, the bass can make the wall vibrate a little. It’s a solid… well-built TV with a sleek design. The stand is adjustable, and the whole thing looks and feels like a premium product. Definitely doesn’t look cheap. This is one of the best TVs you can buy right now if you want awesome quality without paying OLED prices. Great for movies, sports, and especially gaming. Hisense really nailed it with this one. Would totally recommend. It is bright, fast, great sounding, and full of features. Definitely feels like you’re getting more than what you paid for.

A Brilliant All-Rounder with a Near Perfect UI
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been really impressed with this TV since setting it up. The AI picture settings are genuinely brilliant - everything looks fantastic without needing to constantly adjust things manually. After looking into them a bit more it's based on ambient light and the type of programme so that's pretty epic! Whether we've had animated films on for the kids or I've been able to kick back and watch the rugby, the picture is vibrant, smooth, and full of detail. Even during the day in a bright room, there’s no issue with glare or fading colours - we have big dormer windows and it handles bright light really well, which is something we were hoping for in this TV. I’ve also been pleased with the sound. It’s clear and balanced, and we haven’t felt the need for extra speakers. Dialogue is crisp, and there’s a decent amount of depth, which makes a big difference for movies and action scenes. The built-in sound system gives a full, room-filling experience without needing to add a soundbar. Definitely play around with the sound settings as well for the best experience! Apps load quickly, and everything on the smart system runs smoothly. Switching between streaming services is quick and responsive. The remote is thoughtfully designed too - it’s got all the main app buttons built in, and I especially like that you can customise one of the buttons to go directly to a specific app or device input. That’s been a nice bonus. It even charges by sunlight and has a USB-C port, so it never runs out of battery...well it hasn't yet and I live in Scotland! The overall design of the TV is really modern and premium-looking. It sits nicely on our unit but would also look great wall-mounted (which it will be soon). The stand offers two height positions, which is helpful if you’re using a soundbar or want it a bit higher if you're a giant like me. The set-up was simple and guided me through everything clearly - I was up and running in less than 10 minutes. Note, it is fairly heavy to lift onto the stand yourself but with some careful positioning and the multifunctional packaging (that's not even a joke just wait 'til you see the instructions) you can manage it yourself. Overall, this TV has been a fantastic addition to our home. It looks good, performs well in all kinds of situations, and is easy to use every day. Definitely recommend if you're looking for a feature-packed, smart and reliable upgrade.
