On the audio front, these TVs pump out immersive multi-channel surround sound: 4.1.2 channels on the U8QAU, and 2.1.2 channels on the U7QAU. Gamers can level up with 165Hz Game Mode Ultra for ultra-low input lag, silky-smooth graphics, and support for Variable Refresh Rate (VRR). Whether you're playing on a next-gen console or a high-end gaming PC, these TVs are designed to keep up with the play.

Hisense’s VIDAA smart TV OS is onboard with all the popular streaming apps preloaded, plus voice control for easy searching and navigation via the solar powered remote. While the U8QAU may be the flagship of this year’s ULED Mini-LED range, the U7QAU includes many of the same features in a slightly more affordable package, making it an ideal option for those who want premium performance without the premium price tag.
