Overview
A 55-inch class (54.6 in measured) Hisense QLED TV, model 55U8N, running Google TV with a 144Hz refresh rate and 4K UHD resolution.
The 144Hz refresh rate sets this apart from typical budget 55-inch sets, which usually top out at 60Hz, making it a more capable pick for anyone connecting a current-gen game console. Connectivity covers Bluetooth, Ethernet, HDMI, USB and Wi-Fi, giving both wired and wireless setup options. At 41.9 lb it's a two-person lift for wall mounting.
- 54.6 in QLED panel
- 144Hz refresh rate
- 4K UHD resolution
- Google TV smart platform
Who it's for
Good for a living room or bedroom upgrade where smooth motion matters, including gaming and fast sports content, and where Google TV's built-in app ecosystem is preferred over a separate streaming box. Not the pick for anyone who wants a non-smart panel or a screen smaller than 55 inches.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- 144Hz refresh rate, higher than typical 55-inch sets
- QLED panel for wider color output
- Google TV built in
- Wi-Fi, Ethernet, Bluetooth and USB all supported
- At 41.9 lb, wall mounting needs two people
- Google TV requires an internet connection for full smart features
Performance notes
QLED panel technology combined with a 144Hz refresh rate should produce smoother motion during fast-moving content than the 60Hz panels common at this screen size, provided the connected source can actually output above 60 frames per second. Google TV handles the smart platform and app layer, while the five listed connection types cover most wired and wireless home theater setups.
