Hisense’s flagship Mini LED TV, the U8N, is a solid pick for gamers and entertainment buffs alike. And right now during Best Buy’s Black Friday sale event, you can save up to $1,100 on an excellent smart TV.
During their Black Friday sale, the Hisense U8N is up to $1,100 off at Best Buy. It’s available in screen sizes from 55 to 85 inches, making it a good fit for your home entertainment setup, no matter how much space you have.
If you’re a console gamer or entertainment buff looking for a high-quality, dedicated TV, the Hisense U8N is an excellent choice. With a 144Hz native refresh rate, motion blur is practically nonexistent. The TV is also equipped with AMD FreeSync Premium Pro VRR, which helps prevent stuttering and tearing. If those aren’t enough reasons to pick up the TV, you can save up to $1,100 on the Hisense U8N right now at Best Buy for the 85-inch version.
While I’m primarily a PC gamer, I do have a PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch, so I can keep up with platform exclusives and play party games with friends whenever the stars align (and we all have a Saturday free.) My main TV is an older 50-inch Samsung TU7000, which is fine enough for gaming, and the Hisense U8K I previously tested has pride of place in the master bedroom, where it’s mostly a glorified YouTube and Dropout box. Even though last year’s Hisense U8K has served me well, the U8N definitely has it beat.
ZDNET RECOMMENDS Hisense U8N
The Hisense U8N has a 144Hz refresh rate as well as support for AMD FreeSync Premium Pro VRR technology to help prevent screen tearing and stuttering and give you smoother motion during fast-paced gameplay and cutscenes.
Right away, you’ll notice the bright, bold colors and deep contrast the mini LED panel offers, even in Google TV’s dynamic home menus. Setting up the U8N is quick and simple, just like its predecessor. If you don’t install the pedestal base backward at first, as I did, you can go from box to streaming or gaming in about 15 minutes.
I appreciate the pedestal foot more than the traditional TV feet, as it definitely feels more sturdy and durable.
