Hisense U8QG

Wall-mount installation reliability
Hisense UR8SGNo score yet
Hisense U8QG

The high VESA-hole placement required remounting an existing bracket in one case; oversized installation also takes patience and precision.

Built-in subwoofer
Hisense UR8SGNo score yet

Packaging and unboxing
Hisense UR8SGNo score yet
Hisense U8QG
3.0
The huge 100-inch package is cleverly designed for attaching feet upright, but smaller sets can be heavy or frustratingly covered in tape.
Panel type
Hisense UR8SG

The RGB MiniLED panel can produce impressive color purity, though its subpixel structure has tradeoffs for desktop text.

Refresh rate
Hisense UR8SG

The 180Hz native 4K capability is a substantial perk, but the fastest boosted modes require a reduction in resolution.

Hisense U8QG

The TV can be mounted, but unusual VESA positioning and the 100-inch set's weight make careful hardware planning essential.
Weight and handling
Hisense UR8SGNo score yet
Hisense U8QG

The heavy 65-inch set and enormous 100-inch option demand planning, with lifting or repositioning much harder than the slim appearance implies.
