The Hisense H8G is a very good and cheap TV that should please most people for any kind of use. It has a VA panel, so it is able to produce deep blacks when viewed in the dark, and has a full-matrix local attenuation function. Unfortunately, their viewing angles are poor and the accuracy of the image is quickly lost when viewed from one side. It has a decent reflection management and becomes bright enough to combat glare, and if you also want to play on it, it has a good response time and an incredibly low input delay. Although this TV can display a wide range of colors for HDR content, it doesn’t get bright enough in that mode to highlight. On the plus side, it built-in Android TV as an operating system, so you get a ton of apps available for download. Overall, it’s a nice upgrade to its predecessor, the Hisense H8F.
The Hisense H8G is a great TV for most uses. It is ideal for watching movies in dark rooms thanks to its excellent contrast ratio and full local attenuation function. I couldn’t be happier with the service. However, it has a good response time and a very low entry delay for games, and is a good choice to watch TV shows or sports. It can be bright enough to combat glare, but you quickly lose the accuracy of the image when viewed from one side.
The Hisense H8G is ideal for watching movies. It is able to show deep blacks and has a full-matrix local attenuation function that further deepens blacks. In addition, the 1080p content expands almost as well as the native 4k content. Unfortunately, the TV has some uniformity issues, as there is a bit of a dirty screen effect in the middle, which is evident during pots.
The Hisense H8G is good for watching sports. It has a good response time, with little blurring of movement behind fast-moving objects. If you put it in a bright room, it becomes bright enough to combat glare and has a decent handling of reflection. Unfortunately, viewing angles are poor, so it’s not ideal to watch the game with a large group of friends. There is also some dirty screen effect visible in the center, which could be distracting during the sport.
The Hisense H8G is ideal for video games. It has a good response time, a black frame insertion feature to help reduce movement blurring, and an incredibly low input delay in ‘Game’ mode. Its refresh rate is limited to 60 Hz and does not support any variable refresh frequency technology, but it is a great choice for darkroom games as it can produce deep blacks.
The Hisense H8G is good for HDR games, mainly because of its high gaming performance. It has a good response time, a very low input delay, and is able to produce deep blacks when seen in the dark. Its HDR performance is a bit limited, because although it can display a wide range of colors, it doesn’t get bright enough in that mode to stand out. Photo:Hisense
