Our Verdict
Hisense U8/U8K
Hisense U8N
The Hisense U8/U8N is better than the Hisense U8/U8K. It has even better contrast, so blacks are deeper when viewed in a dark room. The U8N is also brighter overall than the U8K, so it handles more glare in a bright room, and highlights stand out more in HDR content. On top of that, the U8N has a faster response time for less blur behind quick motion.

Hi there! It hasn’t been removed, but it’s moved to a different location in the review and the tests themselves have changed. These changes are part of our TV 2.0 Update, which completely revamped our testing and updated the overall review structure. You’re not seeing the results when comparing the U8K to the U8N as the U8K hasn’t been updated to 2.0, but the U8N has, so the reviews are no longer directly comparable, unfortunately.
Why has the reflection section been removed from the comparison and the review of the U8N? I believe the U8N was better at handling reflections and a potential reason to upgrade, but I am now confused.
Hello! Help with personalized buying advice is something our experts offer only via our insider forums. We do have lots of self-service tools and recommendation articles that should be helpful as well though!
I need help in deciding whether to go for 100’‘ U8K or 85’‘ U8N. Is there a noticeable difference between in picture quality from a layman’s view point. The viewing distance is between 7-12 feet
The deciding factor here is mainly going to be your viewing distance. How far is your couch from the TV?
Hello, thanks for the the comparison, I have a question, if you guys have to choose between the U8K 100 inch or the 85 U8N which one you’ll choose, Is is worth it to loose the 15inch for the upgrade?Thanks.
