    Reviewers from techadvisor have found the following***:
    Hisense U8B is a very big and colourful TV with excellent built-in sound and a smart interface that connects you to the important streaming services and locally stored media. It doesn't generate enough backlight nits to be HDR10+ compliant, and the implementation of Dolby Vision is hampered somewhat by the primitive methods of how local lighting is achieved. The more you move away from perpendicular, the more washed out the colours become. The apps for Amazon and Netflix work very well, and on Amazon automatically upgrade to 4K if the contents have that option. It's also useful for gaming unless a 30-35ms decode is an unacceptable level of lag.
