Hisense U8N vs U9N 2025: Is the Upgrade Worth It?
Buying Guide
Expert Pick #06
Hisense U9N.
Flagship Mini-LED with nearly 4,000 nits peak brightness, 5,000+ dimming zones, and a built-in 4.1.2 Dolby Atmos speaker system.
The Verdict.
8.7/ 10
Gavler Meta-Score
“The U9N is Hisense's statement piece — record-breaking brightness, refined local dimming with deep blacks, and a Dolby Atmos speaker system that's genuinely good enough to use without a soundbar. At $2,000 for the 75", it undercuts Sony and Samsung flagships by a wide margin while matching or exceeding their brightness. The main compromise: only two size options and slightly higher input lag than the best gaming TVs.”
