Our Verdict

Hisense U8/U8N

Hisense U9N

The Hisense U8/U8N and Hisense U9N are very similar TVs, with minor differences between them. The U9N has the better contrast of the two due to its superior local dimming feature, and while it's capable of getting brighter than the U8N, the latter is more consistent in that regard and is also brighter in SDR than the U9N. The U9N does have a wider viewing angle and is a bit better for gamers due to its lack of any response time issues when VRR is enabled.
