What reviewers say about the Hisense U8N 65"
One whitelisted tester survived verification: Reviewed (USA Today), which physically lab-tested the exact 65-inch Hisense U8N (Murideo signal generator + Calman software). All five quotes and all seven measured values were re-confirmed verbatim on the page. Reviewed measured 3,500.8 nits HDR peak and 96.29% DCI-P3, praising extreme brightness, wide color, and value, while flagging milky HDR highlights and weak sub-4K upscaling. RTINGS, Tom's Guide, and TechRadar were excluded during harvest as unfetchable.

HDR peak brightness (18% white window): 3,500.8 nits · HDR contrast (ANSI checkerboard): 1,060 nits / 0.102 nits · SDR contrast (Brightness 45): 420.8 nits / 0.038 nits · SDR contrast (Brightness 100): 938.4 nits / 0.093 nits · HDR color gamut coverage (DCI-P3): 96.29% · HDR color gamut coverage (BT.2020): 82.33% · SDR color gamut coverage (Rec.709): 98.6%
At the time of publishing, the U8N is the brightest TV we've ever tested.
The U8N's bright, bold demeanor extends to its color palette, which is among the most voluminous we've seen in this class to date.
The excess brightness gave HDR10 and Dolby Vision content a milky, fuzzy quality, obscuring detail and lessening the impact of specular highlights.
The most impactful of these seemingly recurring issues is the U8N's struggles to upscale sub-4K content, particularly streaming content.
If you want to save a substantial amount of money on a seriously bright TV capable of showcasing HDR movies, shows, and games, the U8N might be a proper fit.
