Our Verdict

Hisense H9G

Hisense U8G

The Hisense H9G and the Hisense U8G are very similar overall. The newer U8G has much better accuracy out of the box, but the H9G we tested has better black uniformity, better contrast, and better gray uniformity, but those tend to all vary between units. The U8G runs a more recent version of Android TV, and it's much smoother and, unlike the H9G, 120Hz signals are displayed correctly, with no dropped frames. The U8G also has 2 HDMI 2.1 ports, which is new this year.
