The 'Picture Quality Optimization' setting more accurately tracks the PQ EOTF, and HDR games look much better. With it set to 'Text Clarity Optimization', there's more noticeable clipping in bright areas of the scene when gaming at 4k 120Hz, so the image looks a bit more washed out. The HDMI Input Optimization setting has an impact on the PQ EOTF tracking. Setting Local Dimming to 'Low' results in a less accurate EOTF overall. The EOTF in 'FILMMAKER' mode looks nearly the same as the 'HDR Theater' Picture Mode, but that mode locks you out of most settings. There's a slow roll-off as the brightness approaches the TV's peak brightness, so fine details in bright scenes are preserved well.

The Hisense U8H tracks the target PQ EOTF extremely well with the most accurate picture mode. The product has arrived in our lab, and our testers will start evaluating it soon. Our testers have started testing this product. See our full comparison between these two TVs here. We bought and tested the Hisense U7H, and added a few comparisons in this review. We bought and tested the Vizio M Series Quantum X 2022 and added a few relevant comparisons to this review. We uploaded the initial brightness measurements and uniformity photos for the Accelerated Longevity Test. We bought and tested the TCL 6 Series/R655 2022 QLED, and added a few relevant comparisons to this review. Updated to Test Bench 1.9, modifying our Contrast testing and splitting our local dimming testing into multiple sections covering Blooming, Black Crush, and Lighting Zone Transitions. We uploaded the brightness measurements and uniformity photos after running the TV for two months in our Accelerated Longevity Test. We've also updated our pre-calibration settings to match the new setting names used by Hisense.

Hisense has also added a new HDMI Input Optimization setting, which allows for proper 4k 120Hz 4:4:4 from a PC, so we've updated the list of supported resolutions. With the latest firmware update M1103, G-SYNC Compatible mode is now working properly. With this update we've revamped our Gradient testing, added a new test for Low Quality Content Smoothing, and expanded our Audio Passthrough testing. We uploaded the brightness measurements and uniformity photos after running the TV for four months in our Accelerated Longevity Test.Ĭonverted to Test Bench 1.10. We also took some pictures in-game, as the 'Text Clarity Optimization' setting results in blown out highlights in HDR. We checked the PQ EOTF tracking with both 'HDMI Input Optimization' settings. We took additional photos and PQ EOTF measurements with FreeSync enabled. Finally, we've updated our usage scores to better align our scores with user expectations. With this change, it was necessary to remove the Black Crush test. With this update, we've added a new Upscaling: Sharpness Processing test and revamped our Blooming test so the scores and picture better match the real world experience. We uploaded the latest brightness measurements and uniformity photos for the Accelerated Longevity Test.Īdded mention of the newly reviewed Hisense U8K in the Compared To Others section of this review.Īdded mention of the newly reviewed TCL QM8/QM850G QLED to this review's Compared to Other TVs box.Ĭonverted to Test Bench 1.11.
