The best TVs come in all shapes and sizes but if you're looking to make a statement then a 75-inch whopper is the one to go for. These usually cost the earth, but thanks to a new deal, you can pick up the Hisense U8N (75U8N) for only £1599 at Richer Sounds.
This price drop brings it down to a record-low and an impressive £200 cheaper than we saw on Black Friday. To sweeten the deal even more, Richer Sounds will throw in a Hisense AX5100G soundbar and sub worth £189 for free. We've not tested it but it's sure to be an improvement on the built-in speakers. Alternatively, you could buy one of the best soundbars and gift the free one to a friend.
Planning on creating a home cinema set-up with a massive screen at the heart of it? Then this Hisense deal is just what you've been looking for.
We'd reiterate that we didn't review the 75-inch Hisense version of the U8N, but we did take the smaller 65U8N out for a spin and found it to be, once set up correctly, a capable, feature-heavy hopeful at its relatively premium price point. Using Mini LED technology on a massive scale, we're confident that the 75-inch U8N is giving you a colossal amount of TV for the money, especially once you've factored in that splendid discount.
Hisense put a good deal of effort into making its U8N family as appealing and hardy as possible, and when set to its highest height there's more than enough space to fit a standard-sized soundbar beneath the 65-inch version. The stand is well-made and hard-wearing, though it doesn't swivel if you want some handy angle adjustment, but overall the build quality of the Hisense feels reassuringly durable. It's an impressive effort, and you're unlikely to get your new TV home and then watch it disintegrate after a few weeks' worth of use.
The Hisense features a 4K VA-panel with Quantum Dot tech working alongside Mini LED backlighting, something which Hisense often refers to as 'ULED'. The 65-inch model boasts 1600 dimming zones and can produce a claimed 3000 nits of peak brightness, and it's the same story with this larger iteration, backed up by a panel refresh rate of 120Hz / 144Hz VRR.
Dolby Vision gaming is one of many HDR standards the Hisense U8N supports, with other supported formats coming in the shape of HDR10, HLG and HDR10+, as well as Dolby Vision IQ and HDR10+ Adaptive. Around the back, the 75U8N offers four HDMI ports, as well as wi-fi, Bluetooth 5.0 and AirPlay 2 connectivity.
Picture-wise, we're expecting big things, quite literally, from the 75U8N. We said in our review of the smaller model that, watching Dune, "the picture oozes detail as the ornithopters soar over the desert, with the texture and range of detail in the sand brimming with balanced realism". The TV's upscaling capabilities are fantastic, and while it took a bit of time to get the right picture balance, once it was attained we were rewarded with oodles of realism and refinement, facets we're confident will follow on to the more substantial 75-inch model.
A whopping telly with impressive specs, proper pedigree, a major discount, and a free soundbar? That sounds like a deal that's worth taking advantage of.
