Hisense UR8S TV: the versatile and accessible RGB MiniLED

Continuing our presentation of a selection of the Chinese manufacturer's TV range for 2026, following the Hisense UR9S TV series (see our article "Hisense UR9S TVs: RGB MiniLED at its most spectacular"), we now focus on the brand's second series of RGB MiniLED displays, the Hisense UR8S. On offer are five models in 55" (140 cm) or 100" (254 cm) sizes.
The Hisense UR8S projectors are based on RGB Mini-LED technology, capable of achieving 100% coverage of the BT.2020 color gamut. The advertised peak brightness of 3,800 nits on the 100" model and 3,500 nits on the other screen sizes (except for the 55" at 2,500 nits) guarantees excellent readability even in brightly lit rooms. As with the UR9S, the matte panel and anti-reflective coating ensure optimal viewing comfort. The entire system is powered by the new Hi-View AI Engine RGB processor (MediaTek MT9655), which adjusts contrast, brightness, and color in real time to optimize each scene. Like the UR9S series, Hisense has not yet announced the number of dimming zones for the UR8S models.

Hisense UR8S TV: HDR Dolby Vision 2, Dolby Atmos and 180Hz Game Mode; Designed to adapt to all content, the UR8S series (see photo, first on the left below) supports Dolby Vision HDR, Dolby Vision IQ HDR, HDR10+, HDR10+ Adaptive, HDR10, and HDR HLG. It is also IMAX Enhanced and Calman Ready certified. Dolby Atmos compatibility ensures a convincing sound immersion. For gaming, the LCD panel can reach 180Hz in Ultra HD and 4K, and even 330Hz via a connected PC. AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, VRR, and ALLM certifications guarantee a smooth experience. The Game Bar interface is included, providing quick access to dedicated gaming settings. Input lag is advertised at 7 ms, an excellent value for demanding gamers. Finally, Pantone and SkinTone certifications guarantee faithful reproduction of natural colors. Hisense UR8S TVs: televisions designed for sports and gaming. The UR8S series features four HDMI 2.1 ports, all compatible with 4K 180Hz VRR, including one eARC port. Alongside them, there's a USB 3.0 port, a USB 2.0 port, an optical audio output, an Ethernet port, and two antenna inputs. As is often the case with Hisense, there's no headphone jack, and unlike the UR9S, there's no USB-C port. Hisense UR8S TV: Devialet-designed audio system. Hisense continues its collaboration with Devialet, which has provided an integrated 2.1.2 configuration. The system features amplification totaling 2 × 10W + 20W + 2 × 5W, along with Dolby Atmos, Dolby Audio, and dedicated surround sound processing. Devialet's proprietary audio optimizations are also included, in addition to Room Fitting Tuning, WiSA SoundSend, Hi-Concerto, TV Mode, and EzPlay. Of course, the Hi-Concerto feature (synchronizing the TV speakers with compatible Devialet soundbars) is also present. Hisense UR8S TVs: Premium Design and a Refined Smart TV Experience. Hisense UR8S TVs adopt the Vidaa U9.5 operating system, which is smoother and more user-friendly than previous versions. The platform supports AirPlay 2, Alexa and Vidaa Voice assistants, Bluetooth 5.4, and 802.11ac Wi-Fi (Wi-Fi 5) at 2.4 and 5 GHz. It also features an internet browser, screen sharing from a PC, tablet, or Android smartphone, the Vidaa ART gallery, an AI-powered automatic picture mode, and access to the VIDAA App Store. The included remote control is the ERF6P66H model, which is voice-controlled compatible. Availability is announced for July.
