Here's the full line-up.



The U8G would be the one that is the most attractive. If the specs perform as advertise, it could blow Sony X90J and other makes similar to it, out of the water.

This is the full launch video, with a timestamp for the U8G.

With every single model is a FALD, Dolby Vision/Atmos model with HDMI 2.1, Hisense will dominate the market from big brands who made no effort to upgrade their offerings.

Here's hoping Hisense Malaysia brings all of the 2021 models here and price it similar to the US.

Its MCO , the circus is not hiring .

Which are coming to Malaysia ? I don't see the line up promoted in Hisense Malaysia's website thou.

FOMO Youtube channel just reviewed the U8G and compared it against Samsung's QLED.


Edited to fix the YouTube embed. For others who don't know, like I didn't, just use the Youtube video ID; don't use the full Youtube URL.

Digital Trends and RTings have yet to review it.

Help u embed properly....

Competition is always welcome, its good for consumer!

But concurring the market its gonna take time and they need to build their reputation like better warranty and after sales!

What's their warranty like, and is their service center? any info?

BTW, X90H is full array with local dimming hence it should compete with H9G.
any idea whats the going price? writesimply

Hi all, is the 65U800QF similar to the H9G in the US?
I'm a bit confused with the different naming conventions @@

Nope , they don't even use the same screen .
We don't get the same TV these Chinese brands release in the US .



Isn't it funny someone posted a bunch of TV models & " review " from the US and you end up getting a completely different line up in Malaysia ?

Well if Hisense really want to conquer the SEA market, they really need to match their offering to the US. The current Malaysian line-up is not. They need to bring the new U range to SEA and compete. TCL Malaysia is not bringing comparable products here.

I think it'll be at least June before Hisense Malaysia announces their 2021 lineup. They're now doing their Raya promo so they can't undercut their older models yet.

While their customer service in the US seems to be well regarded, locally I don't know. They do have a weird warranty on offer though. 2 years if you buy online. 3 years if you buy retail.

Last I checked, the 65X90H was going at RM5,800 the cheapest. There is no H9G model for Malaysia. The 65" only U800QF series is similar to Hisense UK's 65" U8QF. The only difference is the stand. The U800QF is being sold now at RM4999-RM50065 with RM100 Netflix voucher.

The U800QF has 180 dimming zones compared to the X90H's 32. The Sony has a better video processing chip but it also doesn't do well with low bitrate Youtube/downloaded video in terms of gradation. From what I tested, the U800QF did better with low bit-rate videos.

** One thing I noticed is that X90H could not recognize Dolby Vision content playing through a USB drive using their native Media Player. The U800QF does.

I hope the U8G will be priced similar to the U800QF, seeing that U8G is a modest upgrade to the U800QF.

I think it's similar to the U8QF in the UK, down to the JBL speakers and VIDAA os.

The U800QF from Hisense Malaysia.
The U8QF from Hisense UK.

So what's your point ?

Better video processing but worse gradation than Hisense's 8 bit imitation ? ? Do you even know what you are talking about ?




Gradation is typically the strongest point on higher bit TV .

Even if you ignore that fact , You are comparing a 8bit + RFC TV (UQ8F) , a cheap 10 bit imitation with a native 10 bit TV (X90H) ?
That's like saying your car travel faster than NASA's rocket .

Please , do show us your " test results " . And none of those heavily sponsored "review " from certain MOFO channel .

I am sure everyone would like to see how do you literally bypass the law of physics and manage to make an 8 bit screen getting better gradation than native 10 bit in a commercial display industry .



If you want to promote your TV , that is fine . But when you are making outrageous comparison , at the very least remember the specs of your TV , or in this case - win a nobel prize first .

FOMO channel is a waste of time. I actually get more confused and learnt absolutely nothing from his videos other than this TV better than that, or that TV better than this.

Mmm okay thanks, kinda hard to proceed like this, is there local TV review channels? Personally, I'm open to getting a TCL or HiSense, HiSense seems to be more easily available from local retailers, vs TCL C716.

I'll check out the U8QF reviews then.

Wonder why they spec/name it differently across different countries.

I recently come across the FOMO channel too, and he praised the H9G a lot. Which led me to the U800QF.

EDIT: changed TCL to Xiaomi Mi

I don't know of any. Even local newspapers and online tech sites don't do a technical analysis simply because you need specialized equipment and the know-how to do so.

Since most people don't tend to pay for a calibration service for their TVs - as most people are not rich people - the simplest guide on buying TVs/anything is:

1) Does it fit your budget and space?
If you can't afford it, you can't buy it. If you can't fit it in, you can't buy it.

2) Does it have features that you want right now and in the next 24 months?
List all the must-haves that you want and compare.

3) Does it do its job well enough out of the box?
For TVs, it has to look good enough out of the box. With "settings" you can find on some websites and user forums that you can adjust with your remote, that's the max you can do without paying for calibration or buying something out of your range.

4) Does it have a good customer service?
This is important because you want support if something goes wrong. While the big brands do have good customer service, just remember they all started at Year 1 decades ago and earned their reputations through the years.


Here's one YouTube review.



This one is by AVForums.
Remember that U800QF (Malaysian model) is last year's. If you can wait for TCL or Hisense's 2021 model, I suggest you wait. Xiomi (not TCL) will announce their Mi Q1 75" on May 20th. Hisense, I have no idea.


Before the 2000s, this wasn't really the case. The specs are the same but the model numbers are slightly different. Then came the subscription services like SiriusXM satellite radio, iHeartRadio, Netflix and Prime Video. Then Roku and Android.

I think with smart TVs, the why has to do with how popular the operating system is in that given country, how lucrative the deal is between OS maker and TV manufacturer, and how the sales department just understanding the market.

They are trying different things, I guess. For example, in the US and perhaps worldwide, Hisense will roll out their Dual Cell technology time this year. But they already tried it out in Australia last year and didn't get glowing reviews about its brightness.



Anyway, another American YouTuber just got his hands on the Hisense U8G. He confirmed that 120Hz gaming and VRR/FreeSync is working with an XBox Series X. No idea if Dolby Atmos, if the game supports it, would also work at the same time.

Okay, I can wait a couple more months, as targeted move in to new house date is still a couple months away.

But the FOMO channel is saying that for 4k tv, the new gen is actually worst than the previous gen. Have you watched that review, and what do you think?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4EHJsSTlozM

Wait for official 2021 announcment (Malaysia models).
So many assuming......

Sounds like an ideal timeline. In the meanwhile, I'll update this thread with more reviews of the Hisense range as they come online.


Yeah, I've watched this video. For those who didn't, he basically is saying the big brands made incremental changes from 2020 models to 2021 models. He made this video before Hisense announced their 2021 line-up.

The argument is completely logical. We've seen this happened when LCD TVs started coming out with 480p and 720p, and then 720p and 1080p models. This explains why Hisense bet on making inroads with their FALDs and QLED 4K 2021 offerings not as a option but as a standard. Mi Malaysia is following suit, getting the Mi Q1 75" from India probably (where they have a manufacturing plant). TCL Malaysia is still disappointing in their product ranges, though to be fair they haven't announced their 2021 lineup.

It's good to see the budget brands giving people the features that they want with quality products.

Better answer @Convael comments.....

EDIT: added the FOMO link.


Digital Trends reviewed the U8G. Previously they did only the unboxing.



FOMO made a more detailed review about the color volume of the U8G and compared it to a calibrated Samsung QN90A. In this video, he's still not gotten the U8G calibrated.



I don't expect the UK or European websites to have the 2021 lineup until at least June as it seems Hisense UK has yet to be updated. Hisense Canada calls the U8G as the U88G.

EDIT: Spelling.

Quantum TV Youtube channel added his thoughts on the U8G. Take this with a grain of salt. But he has been doing TV reviews for a while.



RTings is probably about to order their U8G.

Quantum TV checked the nits before and after calibration. Specular highlights for HDR content seems more than decent. Seems to corroborate Digital Trends' findings.
