Reviewers from cnet have found:

The U8G's insane brightness came through most readily with HDR, but unfortunately for Hisense brightness isn't everything. In its favor the Hisense showed excellent color again, a step ahead of the TCL and equal to the Sony. The Hisense didn't look quite as good as the other two with mixed theatrical content.

Pros

Excellent color accuracy with HDR and 4K video
Excellent gaming performance

Cons

Not as bright as the TCL and Sony

Reviewers from digitaltrends have found:

The Hisense U8G offers fine detail with minimal artifacting, passing most of our stress tests with ease. Very rarely do I see the moire effect or screen door effect on this TV. This TV is extremely well-suited for gaming. It's got a very low- input lag in game mode, the HDR images leap off the screen.

Pros

Super-high contrast
Excellent motion performance
Very bright

Cons

No Dolby Vision support
No HDMI 2.1

Reviewers from pcmag have found:

The Hisense U8G is a fantastic TV for a reasonable price. Bright subjects stand out as very bright, and shadows appear dark while still showing detail. It's more expensive than the previous H9G line, but even crossing the $1,000 mark for the 65-inch model we reviewed, you'll have a hard time finding a similarly priced TV that looks nearly as good.

Pros

Fantastic contrast and color performance
HDR10 and HDR10 support
Hands-free voice assistant

Cons

Laggy input lag

Reviewers from rtings have found:

The Hisense U8G delivers an excellent HDR movie experience. It has an excellent contrast ratio, delivering deep blacks, and the local dimming feature is great. It can get extremely bright when displaying HDR content, and small specular highlights stand out. Lower resolution content, like cable sports, is upscaled well and looks almost as good as native 4k content.

Pros

Excellent contrast ratio
Outstanding low input lag
Great local dimming performance

Cons

Image degrades when viewed at an angle
Local dimming isn't available with VRR

Reviewers from techhive have found:

The U8G is a great TV, but mini-LED, with it's closer-to-OLED black, is a tough act to follow. The TV is a bit on the heavy side, weighing close to 53.4 pounds on the wall. Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) and Bluetooth 4 are on board, and the Bluetooth supports audio devices.

Pros

Excellent image processing
Excellent motion handling
Dolby Vision, HLG, and Dolby Atmos support
USB 2.0 and HDMI 2.1 ports

Cons

Lacks mini-LED backlighting
No HDR10+ support

Reviewers from techradar have found:

Hisense's ULED technology continues to improve and the U8G is further proof. Besides offering 4K resolution, the TV's native 120Hz screen supports IMAX Enhanced, FilmMaker Mode, Dolby Vision and Dolby IQ. Sports lovers with a keen eye for visuals may find some usage out of the various motion enhancement and clearness modes. There are more games on Xbox Series X|S like Mass Effect Legendary Edition that really feels as if enhances gameplay.

Pros

Excellent 4K/120Hz refresh rate
Excellent HDR10+/HDR10
Dolby Vision and HDR10

Cons

No built-in remote
