The Hisense 55" UR8SAU ULED 4K UHD RGB Mini-LED TV is a good fit for streaming, sport and gaming in a bright room, in a 55-inch size. It has an RGB Mini-LED backlight, a native 180Hz panel, an Anti-Reflection & Glare-Free screen and 2.1.2 channel sound tuned by Devialet.
RGB Mini-LED picture
This TV has a backlight made of separate red, green and blue Mini-LEDs instead of a single white or blue light source, which means colours look more natural and balanced. The colour is Pantone Validated.
This TV has the Hi-View AI Engine RGB, which means it adjusts each frame for depth and contrast as you watch. Picture modes include Filmmaker, Cinema, Sports, Dynamic and Energy Saving.
Bright rooms and fast sport
This TV has an Anti-Reflection & Glare-Free screen, which means lamps and windows show up less on the screen in a bright, open-plan room. Placement still matters.
This TV has a native 180Hz panel, which means fast sport and games look smoother. The 330 Smooth Motion Rate is a motion-processing figure, not the panel's native speed.
Gaming and connections
This TV has four HDMI 2.1 inputs, which means you can plug in a console, a gaming PC and a soundbar without swapping cables. It also has two USB ports, Ethernet, optical audio out, Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.4.
This TV supports HDMI VRR, AMD FreeSync Premium Pro and Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM), which means less screen tearing and a quicker response when you're gaming on a compatible console or PC. High frame rates depend on your console, PC and game supporting them.
Movies and sound
This TV supports Dolby Vision, HDR10 and HDR10+, which means movies and shows made in these formats have more detail in the bright and dark parts of the picture.
This TV has a 2.1.2 multi-channel sound system tuned by Devialet with Dolby Atmos support, which means fuller sound without adding a soundbar straight away. It also has HDMI eARC, which means you can connect a soundbar or AV receiver later with one cable.
Smart TV and apps
This TV runs VIDAA, which means Netflix, Stan, Disney+, Kayo, Binge, Foxtel Now, Amazon Prime, Apple TV+, YouTube, ABC iView, SBS On Demand, 7Plus and 9Now are all in one place. Netflix, Stan, Disney+, Kayo, Binge, Foxtel Now, Amazon Prime and Apple TV+ require an additional subscription and internet connection at additional cost.
This TV has Amazon Alexa built in and works with Google Home and Apple HomeKit, which means you can control it with your voice or from your smart home app. It has Apple AirPlay 2, which means you can share from compatible Apple devices. It also has a built-in HD tuner with Freeview, which means you can watch free-to-air TV alongside your apps.
