If it was our money
Hisense U8Q is a strong value-premium Mini LED choice for buyers who prioritise brightness, HDR impact, gaming performance and heavy daily use. Its native 165Hz panel, Dolby Vision Gaming, HDR10+ Gaming, VRR and very low quoted 4K120 input lag make it especially attractive to gamers, while Mini LED brightness gives it a real advantage over OLED in bright rooms. LG C6 and other OLED alternatives remain better when perfect blacks and dark-room cinema are the priority. Because the U8Q is a 2025 model still sold in 2026, its strongest recommendation depends on receiving a meaningful discount against newer premium televisions.
