55 to 100 inches, starting at $1,199.99
After months of speculation about a release date, the Hisense UR8 RGB TV is finally here and available at Best Buy.
There has been a lot of movement in Hisense’s RGB sector over the past few weeks. First, came the news that Hisense quietly cut the price of its flagship UR9 RGB TVs by nearly 40 percent just weeks after launch – probably because the UR9 line was too expensive compared to the rest of the RGB market.
A day before the June 2 announcement, a post on the r/Hisense subreddit had users wondering when the UR8 was coming. Considering the RGB prices seen on the LG Micro RGB Evo, Sony Bravia II 7 and Bravia II 9 true RGB TVs and Samsung’s flagship R95H Micro RGB TV, this is quite a highly anticipated budget model.

Compared to the UR9, the UR8 is still a premium mini-LED TV that should dazzle in both dark and well-lit rooms. This is by far the most economical path forward thanks to new technology that uses pure red, green and blue LEDs for better color vibrancy and more robust coverage of the color spectrum. Because each LED is individually controlled like OLED bulbs, RGB TVs provide critically accurate lighting that’s less prone to blooming.
According to Hisense, the UR8 can reach an impressive peak brightness of 3,500 nits and will soon support Dolby Vision 2. The 180Hz refresh rate and panel of four HDMI ports puts the UR8 in the conversation about the best budget gaming TVs. The UR8 is the only one of Hisense’s two RGB options that comes as small as 55 inches.
