Our Verdict
Hisense U8/U8K
Sharp AQUOS FS1 OLED
The Sharp AQUOS FS1 OLED and the Hisense U8/U8K are better than each other in certain ways. Being that the Sharp is an OLED, it has better contrast with zero blooming or haloing, so it looks better in a dark room. The Sharp also has a much wider viewing angle, which makes it the better option for watching TV as a group. However, the Hisense has much better image processing and gets significantly brighter in SDR, so it can overcome much more glare in a bright room than the Sharp TV. The Hisense also gets brighter in HDR, so bright highlights in HDR content pop much more than on the Sharp.
