Of course, last year\u2019s U8N was similarly potent, within the visual margin of error for most folks. It\u2019s no small feat to push the brightness even further, but I would\u2019ve preferred Hisense focus instead on some of the U8\u2019s hang-ups, like poor off-axis viewing, a common issue with LED TVs, or its penchant for oversaturating reds.<\/p>\n

That extra red tint was particularly noticeable in HD shows like Breaking Bad<\/em> (yes, I\u2019m rewatching for a third time) with the Warm1 color temperature, while Warm2 looked too cool. In one scene from Season 2, Jesse\u2019s nuckles look positively painted red as he plays with a beetle. In another, a certain someone is looking for a funeral dress, pulling out a \u201cblue\u201d one that looks unequivocally violet on the U8QG\u2014but proper blue (with some purple tint) on my LG C1 OLED.<\/p>\n

The TV’s tendency to flatten shadow details is less of an issue, thanks to its mostly solid reflection handling and the ability to pep up dark areas with Peak Brightness or settings like Dark Detail. Scenes like the dark depths of Mandalor from The Mandalorian<\/em> or the torturous hilltop shot from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows<\/em> proved easy to zip up even in challenging environments.<\/p>\n
