Hisense knows Aussies want supersize entertainment and have come to the party in 2024 with large screen sizes across their ULED ranges, as well as more mini LED options for bright and vivid viewing. Words Scott Hocking HISENSE BRINGS MEGA SCREEN SIZES AND MORE MINI LED

during fast moving scenes, and there's also a dedicated AI Sports Mode that reduces noise and boosts clarity for more fluid movement when the action fires up. Big screens demand big sound, and the U8NAU is equipped with up-firing speakers and a built-in subwoofer to deliver a punchy soundstage with Dolby Atmos support for compatible content. Moreover, the U8NAU series’ new streamlined look sees the speakers now located at the rear of the TV. The U8NAU series is available in three big screen sizes, while the U7NAU offers a 55” and massive 100” for mid-size and large rooms, respectively. Who is it for? Size does matter when it comes to TVs, and Hisense’s premium U8NAU and U7NAU ULED series are the go-to if you’re looking to upsize your entertainment without breaking the bank.

This year, Hisense brings advanced mini LED tech to their premium ULED range, including higher peak brightness and more dimming zones than previous models. Hisense’s ULED (Ultra LED) technology ups the ante for

dimming zones, and up to 1600 nits of brightness, compared with 500-plus and 1300, respectively, on the 2023 U8 models, while the UN7NAU range triples the number of dimming zones from the previous iteration, with 300-plus

colour gamut, local dimming, 4K resolution and motion rate, and with those four boxes ticked you can expect outstanding picture quality from these supersize screens. Quantum dot colour and greater brightness makes Hisense’s ULED TVs a great fit for rooms with a lot of natural or ambient light. Local dimming provides greater control over the panel’s Mini LED backlighting to increase contrast and clarity, especially when viewing HDR content. The U8NAU series now features 1000-plus

for greater overall contrast. Both the U8NAU and U7NAU series support the premium HDR formats – Dolby Vision IQ and HDR10+ Adaptive – for scene-by-scene analysis and precise picture adjustment to suit a room’s lighting conditions, resulting in more accurate HDR and greater detail during dark scenes. Add Filmmaker Mode, and you’ve got a TV that movie buffs will love. 200 Smooth Motion and a Game Mode Pro refresh rate of 144Hz means silky smooth performance with no noisy or blurred motion

Solar saving

Hisense’s brand spanking new solar-powered remote is compatible with both the ULED TV and soundbar range. The eco-friendly solar panel uses ambient light to keep the remote continuously charged, and the alternative USB-C charging option means no more buying fresh batteries.

What’s new in VIDAA U7 This year, Hisense has implemented a more streamlined version of their VIDAA U7 operating system across the entire 2024 range for easy and customised access to all your favourite streaming apps, along with VIDAA TV for a plethora of local and international content at no cost.
