FAQ

The most common questions about this product

What the numbers on the spec sheet actually mean in day-to-day use.

Should you buy the Hisense ULED U8Q?
The Kacbu decision box currently says CONSIDER for the Hisense ULED U8Q: the specs hold up, but there are not yet enough real owner reports to strengthen the call. Pros, cautions and alternatives are in the decision box at the top of this page.
How many HDMI 2.1 inputs does it have?
Three, and Hisense states what each one does: all three take variable refresh to 165 Hz with auto low latency mode, and the third also carries eARC for a soundbar. That third input is the one to give the soundbar, leaving two for consoles.
What is its input lag?
Hisense states 7 ms or less in game mode with a 4K 120 Hz input. It is one of the few makers that publishes the figure at all, and the only one in this catalogue that names the signal it was measured with.
Is ULED a panel technology?
No. ULED is Hisense's name for its own picture processing and backlight control, not a panel type the way OLED is. The sheet states local dimming and quantum dot colour separately; the panel itself is an LCD.
