Hisense’s U8QG MiniLED QLED Series Hits Stores: Big Screens for Big Moments

Hisense has officially launched its U8QG MiniLED QLED TV lineup, now available across major retailers including Best Buy and Amazon. The series stretches from a living room-friendly 55-inch model to a commanding 100-inch display that anchors any home theater setup. With limited-time launch discounts kicking in today, now’s the right time to upgrade your viewing experience with a premium display built for serious entertainment.

Positioned as the centerpiece of Hisense’s 2025 ULED lineup, the U8QG offers top-tier MiniLED performance with a pricing strategy that stays within reach. Starting at $1,499 MSRP, the series offers remarkable screen quality, real-time AI processing, and an immersive audio-visual package that’s typically reserved for higher-end models. Check listings now—these early discounts won’t last long.

Hisense’s Hi-View AI Engine Pro powers the heart of the U8QG. This chip dynamically tunes brightness, contrast, and color for every frame on screen, removing the need for manual picture adjustments. With peak brightness reaching up to 5,000 nits and Quantum Dot Color offering a wide and vivid color palette, the U8QG maintains exceptional image clarity, even in brightly lit environments. Daytime viewers no longer need to draw the blinds just to enjoy dark scenes in their favorite shows.

Performance That Demands a Second Look

Motion clarity is one of the U8QG’s biggest wins. With a native 165Hz refresh rate and MEMC smoothing, these displays deliver seamless visuals whether you’re watching fast-paced sports or navigating complex open-world video games. I’m already eyeing the 100-inch model to catch this year’s Formula 1 season, where every corner, overtake, and finish-line sprint plays out in hyper-realistic motion. For sports fans, the difference is immediate and visceral.

Expanded local dimming zones help the U8QG overcome common LED weaknesses, especially in high-contrast scenes. When bright objects move across dark backgrounds—like streetlights in a nighttime car chase or stars in a sci-fi epic—the display maintains detail and depth without blooming or backlight haze.

Support for Dolby Vision IQ, HDR10+, and IMAX Enhanced ensures that premium content appears as intended by the creators. From studio blockbusters to nature documentaries, the U8QG faithfully renders the full range of modern formats with dynamic HDR metadata and calibrated picture modes.

Sound That Carries Weight

Built-in audio is no afterthought. The U8QG features a 4.1.2 Dolby Atmos system capable of delivering up to 82 watts of room-filling sound. Dialogues stay crisp. Explosions have punch. Ambient detail envelops the viewer, providing an immersive audio experience, all without the need for an external soundbar.

And the experience won’t stay static. Hisense confirms that a software update is coming this summer, introducing “Tuned by Devialet” enhancements. This update will fine-tune the U8QG’s already-capable speakers with the tuning expertise of French audio company Devialet, a partnership that adds another layer of refinement to the TV’s sound credentials.

If you’ve used Devialet hardware before, you’ll understand the significance of this collaboration. If you haven’t, consider this update your introduction to a brand known for pushing premium acoustics into compact systems that don’t scream for attention—they deliver it.

Room for Every Viewer

With screen sizes of 55″, 65″, 75″, 85″, and 100″, there’s a U8QG model for nearly every home. Whether you’re looking to upgrade a bedroom TV or transform a basement into a true cinematic escape, there’s a display here that fits. It’s worth grabbing a tape measure and mapping out the proper viewing distance—typically between 1.5 to 2.5 times the screen’s diagonal measurement—for the best seat in the house.

For gamers, the combination of 165Hz refresh rate, minimal input lag, and HDMI 2.1 features means fast-paced titles feel smooth, snappy, and responsive. Whether you’re grinding through ranked matches or diving into story-rich single-player titles, the U8QG doesn’t leave you waiting on frame rates or reaction times.

The onboard Google TV interface offers access to over 10,000 apps and more than 800 free live channels. Voice control via Google Assistant and Alexa eliminates the need to search for the remote during playback. Everything’s streamlined, responsive, and easy to navigate.

The Hisense U8QG MiniLED QLED TV series is now available, with introductory pricing in effect at Best Buy and Amazon.
