The Hisense 75U8N is a mid-range TV released in 2024 and replaces the 75-inch Hisense U8/U8K from 2023. What makes this size option unique is that it uses an ADS Pro panel instead of the VA panel found in all other sizes of the TV, which is something Hisense has done with the 75-inch models in their entire ULED lineup. Since it uses a different panel, it's the odd man out in the U8N lineup, but it still has the exact same features. You still get local dimming, Dolby Vision, ATSC 3.0, Wi-Fi 6E, HDMI 2.1 bandwidth on two ports for up to 4k @ 144Hz gaming, and VRR support. Like the other sizes, it uses the popular Google TV interface, which is loaded with apps and has smart features like voice control. It comes equipped with the same built-in 50W 2.1.2 channel speaker system as the other sizes. The U8N is available in five different sizes: 55-inch, 65-inch, 75-inch, 85-inch, and a massive 100-inch model. This review is only valid for the 75-inch model, but we also reviewed the sizes with a VA panel.
Our Verdict
The Hisense 75U8N is very good for a variety of usages. It's well suited for a bright room thanks to its superb SDR brightness, but it does struggle more with reducing the intensity of direct reflections, so it's best to avoid placing the TV opposite a lamp or window. It's a solid option for a home theater, with effective local dimming for deep blacks, vibrant colors, good image processing, and bright highlights in HDR content. It's a very good gaming TV too, with very low input lag and modern gaming features, but its pixel transitions are a bit slow, so motion isn't as crisp as it could be. The TV has a wider viewing angle than many other LED TVs, so it's decent for watching TV with a few friends.
Excellent HDR brightness for impactful highlights.
Superb SDR brightness means it overcomes glare from indirect lighting.
Good upscaling and very good low-quality content smoothing.
Colors are vibrant, lifelike, and bright.
Deep blacks with minimal blooming when local dimming is enabled.
Worse contrast and dimmer overall than the other sizes of the TV.
Direct reflections are a bit distracting.
Slower pixel transitions in PC/Game Mode leads to blur behind fast motion.
The Hisense 75U8N is very good for a home theater. It has great black levels with local dimming enabled, so you get deep blacks with minimal blooming around highlights, albeit not as deep as the other size options. You also get vibrant and mostly accurate colors that are sure to impress, and its great HDR brightness means highlights really pop out in HDR content. However, the brightness of HDR content is a bit inaccurate, so it doesn't do the best job following the filmmaker's intent in that regard. Fortunately, it does a good job upscaling and a very good job clearing up artifacts in highly compressed content, so it's a good option when the quality of your content isn't ideal. There's a bit of noticeable stutter during slow panning shots, but since the TV's response time isn't the fastest, most people won't notice it.

The Hisense 75U8N is excellent for a bright room. It's a seriously bright TV in SDR, so it easily overcomes glare from indirect sources of light. However, it only does an okay job reducing the intensity of direct reflections, so you still see apparent reflections if you have a lamp or window opposite the screen. A major upside is that it barely loses color vibrancy, and blacks stay deep and impressive in a room with ambient lighting, so you enjoy a similarly impressive image as you do in a dark room.

The Hisense 75U8N is great for watching sports. It's a great option for a sunny afternoon since its SDR brightness easily makes it overcome glare from indirect light sources, although it struggles more if you have a window or lamp opposite the screen since its direct reflection handling is only okay. Colors in your favorite sports really stand out due to the TV's great overall color performance, and you get solid overall image processing that helps upscale and smooth out artifacts in low resolution and heavily compressed streams and broadcasts. Its pixel transitions are fast enough that you won't be distracted by an overly blurry image, but it's only okay gray uniformity means there's some dirty screen effect in the middle of the screen when watching sports like hockey that have large areas of uniform color. The TV's viewing angle is fairly wide for an LED model, so it's a decent option for watching the game with a small group of friends.

The Hisense 75U8N is very good for gaming. It looks good in a dark room thanks to its solid black levels with local dimming enabled, and highlights really pop out in HDR games due to its excellent HDR peak brightness. It displays a wide range of vibrant colors, so colors are impressive in your favorite games. It performs well for the most part, with HDMI 2.1 bandwidth for up to 4k @ 144Hz. You also get VRR support for a nearly tear-free gaming experience, and its low input lag provides a responsive feel. However, its pixel transitions are only okay overall, so fast motion has blur behind it across its refresh range.

The Hisense 75U8N has decent black levels overall. Without local dimming enabled, the TV's contrast and black uniformity leaves a lot to be desired. However, with local dimming turned on, its black uniformity and contrast is much better and delivers deep blacks with minimal blooming.
Deep blacks with minimal blooming when local dimming is enabled.
The Hisense 75U8N has impressive colors. It has excellent color volume in both SDR and HDR, so colors are well-saturated and really pop off the screen. It has very good SDR accuracy, but it only has okay color accuracy in HDR. It's accurate enough that colors aren't noticeably off for most people, but color enthusiasts will need to get it calibrated if they want the most accurate colors possible.

Differences Between Sizes And Variants
We bought and tested the 75-inch Hisense U8N. Since it's the only size that uses an ADS Pro panel instead of a VA panel, these results are only valid for this size. To see how the other sizes perform, see our full review of the Hisense U8/U8N.
In Canada, the TV is known as the Hisense 75U88N, and it performs the same. There are similarly named international models, like the 75U8NAU in Australia, but these models perform a bit differently than the North American models, so our results aren't valid for them.
| Size | US Model | Local Dimming Zones | Panel Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| 55" | Hisense 55U8N | 672 | VA |
| 65" | Hisense 65U8N | 1,600 | VA |
| 75" | Hisense 75U8N | 2,000 | ADS Pro |
| 85" | Hisense 85U8N | 1,296 | VA |
| 100" | Hisense 100U8N | 1,620 | VA |
Our unit was manufactured in February 2024.
Popular TV Comparisons
The Hisense 75U8N is a very good TV overall and doesn't really have any major downsides. Unfortunately, outside of having a wider viewing angle, it performs worse than the sizes that use a VA panel in a few ways. It's dimmer overall (albeit still bright) and has a slower response time. The other sizes of the Hisense U8/U8N really stand out in the sea of LED TVs due to their very high contrast ratios that deliver incredibly deep blacks, but you just don't get that on the 75-inch model. Some will take the reduced contrast ratio in favor of a wider viewing angle, but its viewing angle isn't anything special, so it's still not the best choice if you need a TV to use in large group settings. If you prefer better overall picture quality, you might want to step down to the 65-inch model or step up to the 85-inch model. If you're set on a 75-inch TV and don't mind dealing with a narrow viewing angle, you can get much better contrast, a faster response time, and even more brightness on a TV like the TCL QM8/QM851G QLED, since the 75-inch model of that TV uses a VA panel like the rest of the size options.
For more options, check out our recommendations for the best TVs for bright rooms, the best 75-inch TVs, and the best TVs for gaming.
The Hisense 75U8N (ADS Pro panel) is mostly better than the Hisense U8K. The U8K has significantly better contrast, so you get much deeper blacks in a dark room. The U8K delivers brighter highlights in HDR thanks to its slightly better HDR brightness, and its SDR colors are more accurate. However, the 75U8N is brighter in SDR, so it overcomes more glare in very bright rooms. The 75U8N is also more accurate in HDR, has a faster response time for less blur behind quick motion, and has a wider viewing angle that makes it more suitable for use in a group setting.
The Hisense U9N and the Hisense 75U8N are similar, as they both use ADS Pro panels. Still, the U9N has the far deeper contrast of the two and outpaces the 75U8N in most metrics. It's a bit brighter, is slightly more accurate, and has a better functioning VRR feature.
The Samsung QN90C is better than the Hisense 75U8N in most ways. The Samsung is brighter in SDR, meaning it overcomes more glare in a well-lit room. When it comes to accuracy, the Samsung is better in both SDR and HDR, so it displays an image that is closer to the content creator's intent. The Samsung also has better contrast, so it displays deeper blacks in a dark room. However, the Hisense supports 4k @ 144Hz for PC gamers with powerful rigs, and it has a wider color gamut for more vibrant colors.
The LG C4 OLED is better than the Hisense 75U8N in almost every way. The LG has significantly better contrast, so it displays much deeper blacks in a dark room. The LG also has a much faster response time for less blur behind quick motion. In addition to that, the LG is the more accurate TV in both SDR and HDR, has better image processing, and has a much wider viewing angle. However, the Hisense is the much brighter TV overall, so it overcomes more glare in a bright room.
We buy and test dozens of TVs yearly, taking an objective, data-driven approach to deliver results you can trust. Our testing process is complex, with hundreds of individual tests that take over a week to complete. Most of our tests use specially designed test patterns that mimic real content, but we also use the same sources you have at home to ensure our results match the real-world experience. We use two main tools for our testing: a Colorimetry Research CR-100 colorimeter and a CR-250 spectroradiometer.

The Hisense 75U8N has decent contrast. Its native contrast is poor, but with local dimming enabled, the TV displays deep enough blacks in a dark room that mostly stay that way when bright highlights are also on screen. Unfortunately, the 75-inch model's contrast ratio is a lot lower than it is on the other sizes, so you don't get the same extremely deep blacks that are approaching OLED territory.

The Hisense U8N 75-inch has very good pre-calibration SDR accuracy. Gamma is close to our target of 2.2, but most scenes are displayed a bit darker than intended. The white balance is decent, but there is too much red in most shades of gray, and blues and greens are a bit underrepresented in most shades. The color accuracy is great, but whites, yellows, and cyans have minor inaccuracies. The color temperature is fantastic, but it's a bit too warm.

The Hisense 75U8N has outstanding SDR accuracy after calibration, but the TV is a bit difficult to calibrate since higher grayscale values don't do much at all. Still, any noticeable issues with white balance are gone, color temperature is essentially perfect, and gamma is even closer to our target of 2.2, with only very dark and very bright scenes still being a bit too bright. The color accuracy is outstanding, with only minor errors that aren't noticeable to most people.

After calibration, the TV has very good accuracy. Its white balance is better now, but it's still not perfect, and there's still too much blue throughout mid-grays. Unfortunately, the TV's color temperature is roughly the same, so the image looks too cool. Color accuracy is good now, but there are still mapping errors throughout, most notably in blues, reds, and yellows.

The Hisense 75U8N has alright PQ EOTF tracking. Blacks and near blacks are displayed slightly brighter than intended, and everything else is displayed a bit dimmer than intended. There's a slight roll-off near the TV's maximum brightness with content mastered at all nit levels. The TV is bright enough to display content mastered at 600 and 1000 nits, but the roll-off helps to main detail in very bright specular highlights with content mastered at 4000 nits.

The TV has very good HDR gradient handling. There's noticeable banding in brighter blues, but all other colors have minimal or no banding at all.
This TV has excellently low input lag when set to PC/Game Mode, which ensures a very responsive gaming experience with very little delay between your actions with your controller or mouse and the action on-screen. In 1080p @ 240Hz, the input lag is 3.1 ms.
The TV supports all common resolutions up to 4k @ 144Hz on two of its four HDMI ports. Unfortunately, 1080p @ 240Hz only works properly with VRR disabled.
The Hisense U8N 75-inch supports all three VRR formats, so it has great compatibility regardless of the source. Unfortunately, with 1080p @ 240Hz and VRR enabled, the TV's built-in frame counter shows 72Hz, and there's bad frame skipping and desaturated colors, and chroma 4:4:4 isn't displayed properly. With VRR disabled, 1080p @ 240Hz works without issues.
Unfortunately, the TV's response time behaves differently with VRR enabled. It's more aggressive with refresh rates above 100Hz, which leads to a faster response time but with more overshoot errors. When the TV hovers around 100Hz, the rapid changes in behavior when it goes above and below that threshold are a bit distracting. However, it's not nearly as noticeable as it's on the other sizes of the TV that use a VA panel since the overdrive isn't as aggressive. There are no issues at all when running at a fixed refresh rate.

The TV's CAD at its maximum refresh rate is okay. Pixel transitions from bright shades to dark ones are slower overall, which leads to noticeable motion blur. It performs better when going from dark shades to bright ones, but it consistently overshoots RGB values, which leads to some inverse ghosting.
for pictures & test results
for pictures & test results
The TV's CAD at 120Hz is not bad. Its performs best when pixels transition away from darker shades into brighter ones, but it's still on the slower side. It's even slower when going from bright shades to dark ones, so all fast motion has noticeable trails of blur behind it.

The TV's CAD at 60Hz is unremarkable. It struggles when going from bright shades to dark ones, and although it's better when going from dark shades to bright ones, it's still not great. Since it has pretty slow pixel transitions and there's persistence blur due to the nature of a 60Hz refresh rate, fast motion is quite blurry.

The Hisense 75 U8N is fully compatible with everything the Xbox Series X|S offers, including 1440p @ 120Hz, 4k @ 120Hz, HDMI Forum VRR, FreeSync Premium Pro, and Dolby Vision gaming. It also supports Auto Low Latency Mode, so you don't have to worry about manually switching to PC/Game Mode to get the lowest input lag.
Due to the TV's relatively quick response time, there's some minor stutter when watching movies or TV shows, and it's most apparent in slow panning shots.
The TV gives a judder-free experience with 24p sources like a Blu-ray player and native apps. It also removes judder from 60p sources like some streaming devices and gaming consoles. Unfortunately, it doesn't remove 24p judder from 60i sources like some cable TV boxes, although you can use the 'Motion Enhancement' with 'Judder Reduction: 1' to remove judder from 60i sources without introducing noticeable interpolation or artifacts.

The TV supports backlight strobing, more commonly known as black frame insertion (BFI). The feature is designed to improve the appearance of motion by strobing its backlight and reducing the amount of persistence blur. Unfortunately, it only inserts black frames at a 120Hz refresh rate, and the image is blurry with some image duplication.

The Hisense U8N 75-inch has a decent viewing angle. The image looks mostly consistent from a slight angle, but there's brightness loss, gamma shifting, color shifting, and color washout that worsens the further you move off-center. Although its viewing angle is wider than a lot of other LED TVs, the image is noticeably degraded at an aggressive angle. It's a good option for watching TV with a smaller group of friends who can remain somewhat centered to the screen, but it's not quite good enough for a very wide seating arrangement.

The TV has an RGB sub-pixel layout, so it doesn't have any issues rendering text when used as a PC monitor.
Note that all other sizes of the TV use a VA panel with a BGR subpixel layout, which can affect text clarity.
The TV uses quantum dots to achieve high color peaks with excellent separation between blues, greens, and reds. This gives the TV great color purity and allows it to display a very wide color gamut.

The TV has HDMI 2.1 bandwidth on HDMI ports 3 and 4, with both supporting up to 4k @ 144Hz. Fortunately, HDMI 1 is the eARC port, so you don't lose a high-bandwidth port when you plug a soundbar into the TV. The TV supports all HDR formats and has an ATSC 3.0 tuner, so you can watch over-the-air 4k content.
The TV supports eARC, which lets you pass high-quality, uncompressed audio to a compatible receiver or soundbar through an HDMI cable. It supports all major audio formats, so you don't have to worry about compatibility with external sources.

The TV comes with a metal center-mounted stand that doesn't require a large table to place the TV on. The stand can be adjusted into two different positions. The lower position lifts the TV about two inches above the table, which brings the screen very close to your table. The higher position (pictured above) lifts the TV about 3.54 inches, so most soundbars fit underneath without blocking the screen.
Footprint of the 75-inch stand: 15.75" x 11.42".

The back is made of plastic and has a grid-like pattern that resembles a lot of Sony TVs. Most of the inputs are side-facing, but they're close enough to the edge of the TV that they are accessible when it's wall-mounted. A USB, Ethernet, and optical port are located in a recessed cutout that faces the back. Unfortunately, these aren't accessible if you have the TV mounted flush to the wall. The TV has a built-in subwoofer near the top, and you can funnel cables through the TV's stand to help with cable management.

The Hisense U8N 75-inch has great build quality. It's mostly made of plastic, but it's sturdy and well-built overall. The center-mounted stand provides good stability, and there are no glaring issues with the TV's design. Unfortunately, our unit did have some dirt behind the screen. It's not noticeable with most content, but it's a bit distracting in scenes that have large areas of uniform color.

The Hisense U8N 75-inch has an alright frequency response. The TV gets pretty loud, and dialogue is clear and easy to understand at moderate volume levels, but the sound becomes more unbalanced as you approach its maximum volume. You'll want to avoid using the TV at maximum volume for balanced sound.
Thanks to the built-in subwoofer, the TV produces a bit of bass. Strangely, the 65-inch model produces a bit more bass than this size does.
