Hisense 55U8QF Review, Unveiling the Power of 4K ULED Technology
by Samuel Kalenga on Sep 08, 2024
In the brave new world of at-home entertainment, the TV set has expanded far beyond its own borders; now it is the door to another world, where we can escape into heightened realities of sight and sound. Innovators in the sphere of home entertainment push the limits of possibility, and in order to build the bridges between narrative and user, they need screens onto which viewers can project their imagination.
Hisense is one such innovator, with a reputation for offering value and vivacity. The Hisense 55U8QF, a 55-inch 4K Ultra HD television, is the latest salvo in a never-ending upgrade war, offering more dimensions in entertainment than ever before for people looking to bring the land of make-believe into their living rooms with a greater sense of verisimilitude than ever before. This review will look in detail at the 55U8QF, analysing its specifications and breaking it down into key features, explaining how it performs and whether it represents good value for money.
Unveiling the Cutting-Edge Features of the Hisense 55U8QF
So let’s take a look at the tech that makes the Hisense 55U8QF such an exemplar of modern engineering: * 4K Ultra HD Resolution: A whole new world of detail With its 4k Ultra HD resolution rating of 3840 x 2160 pixels, this TV has four times as many pixels as any 1080p display. Therefore your visual experience will be absolutely breathtaking since each pixel has four times more depth than that of HDTVs.
There’s never been a television where it’s more fun to pick out individual blades of grass in an overgrown meadow. Or a greater sense of admiring pleasure to differentiate between each individual stitch in the fabric of a character’s duds. Or to luxuriate in the detail of the Japanese maple tree that’s just behind those two adorable kids having a picnic. * Quantum Dot Technology (QLED): No more square lemons, and a wider spectrum of color This TV’s image quality is truly remarkable because of Quantum Dot technology.
This is perhaps the newest and most exciting advance in TV technology. It is all about semiconductors tiny, spinning atoms called ‘Quantum Dots’. When Quantum Dots are hit with light, they will emit light in unique wavelengths and size. Consequently, TV manufacturers can now have a way of coaxing Quantum Dots to be different sizes and through doing so, the best manufacturers can provide a spectrum of light that’s far greater than the spectrum they can get from more traditional phosphor dyes.
The result is colours that are more accurate, and more intense and rich than anything you’ve ever seen before. It’s also now easier for TV manufacturers to make super-bright images. Think about the difference between a washed-out sunset and a brilliant, crimson blaze of scarlet, pink and purple textured hues exploding across the sky. * Dolby Vision HDR: Game and story and sheen on! HDR stands for high dynamic range and it’s a type of format that opens up the black mirror and bids it shine on the light and prepares it to swirl around in all the infinite gradations of light and dark.
Imagine a traditional room lit only by standard artificial light. If you move around inside the room, you have a diminished ability to see what’s what. But zoom ahead 10 years and you can put in a new lighting system that sends light from each bulb bouncing off the walls, thereby highlighting the textures and shapes of the objects in the room. Now you see everything in dazzling light. With Dolby’s Vision HDR, programs that have been calibrated to fit within this format will now shine as you’ve never considered that they possibly could. You will have an expanded range of light and dark to deal with.
You will see into the areas of shadow that you most likely couldn’t see into before. And weep at the bright sparkle of light in the reflective area that you never dreamed you could witness. * Dolby Atmos: Game and story and sheen on the soundscape Now for what’s happening on the soundscape. Dolby Atmos is yet another way of immersing you into the action. As you could guess from the name, Dolby Atmos moves sound beyond the horizontal plane and adds dimension to our aural universe.
Imagine choppers flying overhead. Picture rain falling. Witness crowds roaring. With Dolby Atmos, you’ve just witnessed the sky falling. * Android TV Operating System: A Google designed world of content Quite simply, the Android TV operating system offers a well-designed platform to help you chose among all those streaming services, apps and video games that you simply adore. You can search your favourite streaming apps that include Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, YouTube and many more. The Android TV system can also do voice search with Google Assistant. Say things like ‘OK Google, find a funny clip of Ted-Talks about heavy breathing’ and you will have a field day on Earth.
* Smart TV Features: More ways than ever to watch stuff image courtesy Hisense Honestly, what can we say here without sounding like condescending fools? There are ways of hooking up the computer to the television so that you can access the content of the internet world. Sometimes you have to use a stick and other times you hook into a satellite. But the details of that don’t matter too much. What’s important here is that surfing world wide web on a large screen isn’t very easy because it requires a keyboard and it’s not very reliable because you have to click rather than use a remote.
So the goal is, eventually, just to discover as many apps as possible that you adore, so that you can plunge into a world of TV content designed by fools for fools. And with these newfangled technology TVs, you’ll be able to do just that. * Era-Sleek Design: Rounded L’s and sinuous slopes and angles, oh my! Of course, almost noone (outside of the middle east) mounts their televisions to the wall anymore. Everyone wants that cinematic experience deserves the kind of elegant image on the TV that flows like water and absorbs the eye and edges itself into the very soul of the onlooker and says: ‘This is the way the world was designed by gods and goddesses who made life beautiful and who made you worthy of being embraced by this aesthetic experience of the image.’
Performance: A Symphony of Sight and Sound
Sound is the key to evaluating any TV. Hisense 55U8QF is an impressively engaging TV experience The combination of 4K resolution, Quantum Dot technology and Dolby Vision HDR provide an outstanding picture experience. Picture Quality A World Of Detail And quality of this TV is impressive. Even if you’re not familiar with 4K resolution or HDR, you’re going to see an awesome picture with this set. The resolution of the 55U8QF is so high that the images are incredibly detailed.
Combine that with the Quantum Dot colour system and you get a wide range of colours (over a billion colour combinations) that are incredibly vibrant and accurate provides the final touch of awesomeness in the picture quality with insane contrast and detail in brightness onscreen. Think about images with incredibly deep blacks, bright whites, and a full range of accurate colours that make everything you watch appear more real than ever.
Motion Handling A Smooth And Fluid Action Experience: The motion handling of this TV is impressive. Essential for fast paced action movies, sports, racing games, FPS games on your consoles or PC, the Hisense 55U8QF has a technology that reduces blur and judder to smoothen out fast paced motion onscene. Even when there is a lot of action on the screen. Your eyes and brain will see images with less blur and more clarity to the point that the action apears as a fluid and natural experience.
However, I recommend to adjust the setting to Sports or Game mode on your TV to avoid image artifacts. The motion handling of the TV aids in bringing the action to life in a way that is easy to track and gets the most out of both the picture and the audio performance simultaneously. Viewing Angles A Great Picture From Every Perspective: The 55U8QF has a wide viewing angle feature where the quality of the picture doesn’t falter no matter where you sit in the room. You don’t have to be directly in front of your TV to enjoy a displayed picture with a full and accurate colour spectrum, resolution and contrast.
Unless you’re extremely far away from the TV (which negates the point of owning such a large screen anyway) or you’re sitting to the far left or right of your TV, everyone sitting in the room can watch a great picture. In the case of a large family, or a group of people watching a movie together, this viewing angle feature is hugely beneficial. Sound Quality An Engaging Audio Experience: The audio performance of the 55U8QF is awesome as Dolby Atmos surround sound technology combines with the ability to play Dolby Atmos Blu-ray formats to provide a cinema-like audio experience with sounds coming from all around you while distinguishing between clear dialogue and attention-demanding sound effects.
