Hisense 65U8HQ, a high-end with a great image

`Hisense 65U8HQ is one of the most outstanding outfits regarding Hisense launches due to its excellent high-end features.

Technical characteristics of the Hisense 65U8HQ

 

Design and connectivity of the Hisense 65U8HQ

Beautiful while basic and versatile is this television finished in plastic in not very dark gray on the front and black on the back. It has completely rounded corners, very smooth , as we can see in this first image. It has tiny frames in unibody format but it is true that the black borders of the panel are quite visible. The base is metallic in dark gray color , consisting of a central rectangle to rest on the living room furniture and with a trunk that goes up and hooks the panel from behind.

The complete apparatus measures 914 x 1452 x 300 mm . If your intention is to put the panel on the wall, it measures 858 x 1452 x 78 mm and is compatible with a 40 x 30 cm VESA . The weight of the base is 5 kilos, so the TV with it weighs 31.5 kg and, without it, 26.5 .

Tuning and connectivity

The model’s tuning includes HbbTV 2.0.3, a CI+ in version 1.4, DVB-S2/T2/C and analog NTSC/PAL/SECAM . To be able to enjoy all the contents, it has  two RF tuners, a CI slot and a satellite input .

In addition to these, there is an optical audio output, two USB inputs given in 2.0 and 3.0, a mini L/R audio input, a headphone jack, an S/PDIF output, two HDMI 2.0 inputs with ALLM support, an HDMI 2.1 that supports ALLM and VRR at 120 Hz and another 2.1 that also includes eARC as well as an Ethernet RJ 45 .

As wireless, it has WiFi 6 , called IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax and also bluetooth 5.0 .

Image quality and general functions

Its 65-inch panel is an ADS , which is a variation of IPS with more brightness and better contrast, and also greater physical rigidity of the screen. It has a matrix that reaches 30 bits and a color depth of 8+2 bits . The total possible color reproduction is 1073 million via Wide Color Gamut and Quantum Dot Color technology and reproduces more than 95% of the total DCI P3 color . It has a UHD resolution and a brightness of 500 cd / m2 basic and up to 1300 cd / m2 in the event that the HDR content played had it. The native contrast is 1200:1 .

It has a local dimming system called Full Areray Local Dimming PRO that includes the division of the panel into 160 zones . Its backlight works with MiniLED technology . These are 50 times smaller than commonly used LEDs. This achieves a greater depth of blacks and greater brightness and better precision, remarkable in dark spaces.

The panel frequency is great, 120 Hz , and to this is added Picture Criteria Index as a frame interpolation system in a not insignificant 2800 units .

It has a Hi-View engine with which all the scenes are improved, both those that are in Ultra High Definition and those that do not reach this resolution (which are improved trying to achieve it). This has an algorithm capable of emulating a neural network, so that it optimizes each image through deep learning.

We find HDR 10+ , HDR HLD and Dolby Vision decoding .

The model has IMAX certification , which ensures that the display will be correct and that there are minimum contrast, brightness, color and resolution that they themselves define. Likewise, its Freesync Premium support stands out .

Finally, highlight its Filmmaker, Game PRO and Sports modes , which eliminate visual noise with double technology.

Audio

Incredible 70 W of power divided into four modules of 10, one of 20 and two of 5 magnify all the other specifications of the model in terms of sound, offering a truly remarkable result.

The audio technology it plays includes DTS Virtual X and Dolby Atmos . Also included is a basic equalizer and NICAM Stereo . The honey spot comes with Hisense Room-Fitting Sound , a nearby space analysis system to adjust the sound for convenience.

Software/smartTV analysis

VIDAA U is the operating system that Hisense manages, its own, and it is the one that has been integrated into this television in its latest version, 6.0 .

This allows you to personalize your television and your experience as soon as you turn it on, being able to create your own profile, uploading photos to place on it and editing the channels .

Although the system will have its applications installed when you put everything into operation, Hisense allows you to download many others in its own store . In addition, you can place the ones you like the most as shortcuts. Likewise, recommendations will be made to you as you use the TV and download software.

You have assistance with Alexa, Google Assistant or with Hisemse’s own, VIDAA Voice . Any of them will follow your orders in relation to the TV, its content and some devices that you link to it.

Elements included are browser (Odin), smartphone application, stream via Anyview, AirPlay 2 support, Anyview cast, EPG, timeshift, list of favorite channels…

We will highlight the quality of the security of the OS, which has DTT certification, an exclusive data protection system as well as parental control and Hotel Mode .
