Our verdict

The U8000F is a very basic television that may find its buyers among those looking for the cheapest Samsung 4K with Smart TV. And that is exactly its purpose. Thanks to the Tizen system, this model really offers quite a lot in terms of smart features – the number of applications and possibilities may attract those who want a reasonably intelligent device at the lowest possible price. In terms of picture quality – it is average, which is not surprising in this class. Nevertheless, a few pluses can be found: fairly good viewing angles will work well for traditional TV watching from different parts of the room, and the basic features for gamers (like VRR and ALLM) may be sufficient for typical "Sunday" gamers. The PC mode also deserves a plus – the television handles displaying fonts very well, so it can also serve as a cheap monitor. Of course, this is not a model that can be recommended to everyone "sight unseen." But if someone is looking for an affordable Samsung with a 4K resolution and a solid Smart system, then the U8000F is just that kind of device.

The Hisense U7Q is one of the most interesting Mini-LED televisions in its price segment, clearly showing that Hisense is really starting to matter in the market not only because of the price-to-capabilities ratio but also due to its increasingly refined picture quality. Let’s start with what truly impresses: the contrast and black levels are at a level that was recently unattainable in this price range. Combined with smooth tonal transitions, solid brightness, and a fast 144 Hz panel, the U7Q becomes a television that excels in both movies and gaming. Gamers will find nearly everything they could expect here – variable refresh rate (VRR) support, auto low latency mode (ALLM), very low input lag, and even 240 Hz in Full HD. All of this means that the U7Q will perform well with both next-generation consoles and PCs. However, it is not without its weaknesses. With HDR content, one might want to say: "untapped potential" – you may ask why? The television’s algorithms dim small bright elements or overly boost them, which can spoil the viewing experience. There is also a lack of support for HGiG, which is a feature that would better synchronize the console with the television for HDR. In summary, briefly – the Hisense U7Q is a very versatile and complete television that has its imperfections but makes up for them in many key aspects. For gamers, for occasional movie watchers, for someone looking for good equipment for everyday use – it is one of the most cost-effective propositions in 2025. One just needs to know what compromises they are signing up for – and then it will be hard to be disappointed.

Halo effect and black detail visibility:

The Samsung U8000F, more specifically the U8092F model in the 55-inch version, is equipped with an IPS panel. Let's be honest – this is not the best choice when it comes to displaying blacks and contrast correctly. The results in this category are just poor. The contrast is abysmal, and watching dark scenes with any kind of "cinematic" effect is nearly impossible. Additionally, the fact that the television lacks local dimming doesn’t help, making it hard to achieve better results. The only thing that deserves praise is the fairly decent uniformity of the panel – but that's more of a small consolation. Overall, it's not good. If you care about deep blacks and reasonable contrast, it's definitely better to go for the variant with a VA panel, which performs significantly better in this particular series.

The U7Q is a television with Mini-LED backlighting – just like the PRO version. The difference? The version without the suffix simply has fewer dimming zones. In our 65-inch model with a VA panel, we counted 220 of them. And although this doesn't make as much of an impression as in the U7Q PRO, it still looks very good on paper for this price range. Alright, but how does it perform in practice? Surprisingly well. The contrast in the U7Q can reach up to 300,000:1, which provides a really solid black effect. In many scenes, it's hard to find fault – the image has depth, and the highlights are well separated. Of course, Mini-LED is not OLED – so there are certain limitations. In very challenging scenes with a lot of dark details, the television sometimes either "eats" them, leaving a nice black, or slightly brightens the background, which can cause a halo effect. This is normal in this technology and must be taken into account. Despite these minor drawbacks – the contrast in the U7Q performs really well.

Better does not mean good – and that perfectly summarizes the capabilities of the U8092F when it comes to displaying bright movie scenes in HDR mode. The brightness of the panel is just under 250 nits, which is definitely too little to enjoy any lighting effects. An interesting situation was noted during the measurement of the fourth scene from the movie Sicario 2 – the television clearly dimmed the entire screen in an attempt to achieve better black levels (which are still weak). One could even suggest that the device uses some form of "global dimming," but unfortunately, the results are still very poor. To make matters worse, the television does not support a wide color gamut – the coverage of the DCI-P3 space is about 80%, so there’s no hope for truly vibrant colors. HDR images here look rather like lightly brightened SDR, and that's the form we would suggest sticking to when it comes to this television.

Since the algorithms responsible for blacks are performing quite well, we expected a similarly good effect when it comes to brightness and overall HDR quality. Unfortunately – here we have to disappoint you a bit.

The U7Q is quite a bright TV – in optimal conditions, it can reach around 800 nits, which indeed impresses on some screens, especially in scenes like those from the movie The Meg. Bright segments can really shine, and the HDR effect is noticeable. The problem arises when very small, bright elements appear on a dark background – for example, in Sicario 2 or in the second scene of the movie Life of Pi. In such moments, the dimming algorithms operate too aggressively. Yes, the blacks look great then, but the brightest points can almost completely fade, causing the HDR effect to disappear and details to be barely visible. That's just the nature of this technology in this price segment.

As a consolation, it's worth adding that the U7Q is advertised as a QLED TV (in practice, a PFS layer is used, which works very similarly), and it is indeed capable of displaying a wide color palette – with DCI-P3 coverage at around 94%, that's a very good result for this class.

The Samsung U8000F was tested in the best possible picture mode built into the TV, which is Filmmaker Mode. This mode should – at least in theory – offer a cinematic, reference-quality image without unnecessary enhancements. For SDR content (mainly HD/SD), the TV performed surprisingly well straight out of the box. White balance errors hovered around a value of 3, which is roughly at the threshold of perception. The only complaint could be about brightness management – the gamma chart showed a slight tendency to brighten or darken certain areas, but overall it performed quite well for this price segment.

Unfortunately, it looks much worse in HDR mode. Although the white balance wasn't terrible, the TV had significant color errors – particularly noticeable on the Color Checker chart, where almost every sample landed outside the target point. The HDR image simply looks unnatural, and colors can be shifted, dull, or too cool. This largely stems from the fact that the U8000F does not support a wide color gamut (DCI-P3). The TV is physically incapable of displaying accurate colors in HDR standard – and this unfortunately shows in every more demanding material.

We tested the U7Q in the best possible picture mode, which is Filmmaker Mode. This mode is supposed to provide the most "filmic" experience and fidelity to the creators' intent – right out of the box. Unfortunately, even this professionally sounding name does not guarantee a perfect picture.

In our unit, the problem lay in a poorly set white balance. Both in HD and 4K content, the image had too much blue and red, giving the screen a slightly pinkish hue. It didn't look terrible, but it was noticeable – especially in bright scenes and white backgrounds. This alone could have been forgiven, but the biggest issue is the management of brightness in HDR content. The EOTF curve from the measurements confirms what we saw earlier during the scene tests: the television often dims the smallest bright elements too much, causing them to almost disappear, or conversely – excessively brightens the brightest ones, affecting the naturalness of the image.

Color reproduction after calibration

7.5/10

7.4/10

Although the U8000F offered quite a decent picture in SDR right out of the box, we were able to adjust it a little more. We managed to eliminate a slightly purplish tint and calibrate the gamma to a more reasonable level. However, the television still tends to overemphasize the smallest and brightest parts of the image – the gamma chart shows a characteristic "dip" that is difficult to completely correct.

Unfortunately, the situation looks worse in HDR. It's hard to talk about any significant improvement here – the television is simply not designed for HDR content. We tried to adjust the picture in the advanced settings, but despite everything, the color errors remained quite large – a delta E above 7 indicates noticeable deviations. It's a bit of a shame, but that's the charm of a budget design. In SDR, the U8000F performs just fine, while HDR is simply not its league.

Thanks to specialized tools, we managed to correct the color quality in SDR content to nearly perfection. In materials with lower dynamics, delta E errors dropped below 0.5, which can be considered an almost reference result. The image on television, YouTube, or classic Full HD looks really good after calibration. Well, but where couldn’t we improve the image so easily? Primarily, it concerns HDR quality content. While we managed to somewhat "tame" the white balance and eliminate pink hues in most scenes, unfortunately, we did not have full control over brightness management. We set the local dimming settings according to the best observations – SDR: Medium, HDR: High – but the U7Q still did everything a bit its own way. There were still cases of overly strong dimming or brightening of details that the calibration simply couldn't eliminate. And although the overall reception of the content is much better, it must be taken into account that the U7Q will always have something to say at the end "but."

Smoothness of tonal transitions

9/10

9.9/10

Another important thing to pay attention to when assessing image quality is the smoothness of tonal transitions – that is, how well the television handles blending colors and shades. Here, the Samsung U8092F performs... almost perfectly. On the tested screens, there are no visible banding issues, no problems with color gradients, and the overall image is not artificially sharpened, which unfortunately happens in many televisions of this class. The image looks natural and very clean. We noticed minimal issues with the brightest scenes, but that’s more of nitpicking that only a very discerning eye would catch.

The U7Q performs exceptionally well when it comes to tonal transitions – we can confidently say that it reaches almost reference level, which is why in this category, the TV receives one of the highest possible ratings from us. The color blends are smooth, clean, and without visible bands. In most scenes, everything looks simply perfect, and any potential minor imperfections may only appear in very specific shots – although we hardly noticed them during testing.

When it comes to how the Samsung U8000F handles lower-quality materials, we have to admit that Samsung has made progress compared to its predecessor from last year – the DU7192 model, which theoretically occupies the same place in the lineup.

This year's model is equipped with a function to improve the fluidity of tonal transitions, which has been implemented much better than last year. Yes, the television still uses quite strong algorithms that can distort details or remove film grain, but even so – it can be confidently said that it works effectively.

However, not everything went perfectly. The U8000F has noticeable issues with slight frame cutting when watching very old content in very low resolution. If someone plans to play their old VHS tape, they should be prepared for the image to appear slightly “cut off.”

There are situations where we would like to smooth out tonal transitions a bit, especially in older materials – those that have limited source quality. The U7Q is equipped with a feature called “Smooth and Gradient Image,” but unfortunately… it works very poorly. In the “Low” option, the effects are practically unnoticeable, and other settings smooth out details but do not improve tonal transitions. The only plus is that the feature does not interfere with film grain, so it does not ruin the natural structure of the image.

Fortunately, content scaling performs quite well. The image is not overly sharpened, there is no artificial clarity – and although it is known that this is not the level of high-end televisions, the U7Q handles displaying really old content in a completely acceptable manner without any problem.

The Samsung U8000F is equipped with a 60 Hz panel, so right from the start, it’s clear that we shouldn’t expect any miracles. This is simply the standard in this class – sufficient for everyday viewing, but without any fireworks.

The TV offers one motion smoothing slider – a feature called "Motion Blur Reduction", which allows us to adjust the smoothness of the image in movies. Higher settings provide a more "theatrical" and smoothed effect, while lower settings help retain the original character of the film with a slight 24p effect. Interestingly, there is a feature called "Clear Motion LED", which is a BFI mode – that inserts black frames between the frames of the picture to improve motion clarity. However, in practice, the screen flickers significantly when activated, and it should be regarded more as an experiment than something that realistically enhances gaming comfort.

U7Q is truly a fast television, similar to its more powerful version "PRO". At a resolution of 4K, it supports up to 144 Hz refresh rate, and if someone wants even more – in Full HD you can achieve up to 240 Hz! This will mainly benefit PC gamers, but it’s worth appreciating – this is a rare feature in this price segment. Right from the start, it’s clear that U7Q was created with dynamic content in mind, such as games or sports. In films, we are not left "out in the cold" either – U7Q offers the "Ultra Motion Smoothness" feature, where using two sliders you can adjust whether you want a smoother, theatrical image, or something closer to a cinematic style with a visible frame. It’s good that, like with most manufacturers, we have a choice here and can adjust it to our own preferences.

Samsung U8000F offers a basic set of features for gamers, which nonetheless may be sufficient for less demanding users. We have an automatic game mode here – when a game is launched on the console, the TV automatically switches to low latency mode, which significantly improves response time. We also find the VRR feature, or variable refresh rate, which operates within a range of 48 to 60 Hz. This means that both Xbox and PS5 will not produce the "tearing" effect, as long as we stay within this range.

And unfortunately, that's about it for the advantages. Add-ons like Game Bar or higher refresh rates are reserved for the higher models of Samsung from the 2025 line. In theory, the TV also supports the HGiG feature, which should adjust HDR images to the intentions of game developers. Unfortunately – even though this feature appears in promotional brochures and store materials – its configuration on the Xbox console turned out to be... impossible in practice.

The Hisense U7Q is a TV designed for gamers – and you can see that right away based on its gaming capabilities. It has practically everything you could wish for: variable refresh rate (VRR) – check, automatic game mode (ALLM) – also check, and high refresh rates of up to 240 Hz in Full HD, as well as support for various resolutions, not just 4K. It's truly a great set of features that makes the U7Q excel in both fast-paced shooters on consoles and more demanding titles on PC. Of course – like in most Hisense models – it lacks a proper implementation of the HGiG function. That's a shame because HGiG allows you to adjust the brightness of the console to the specific TV, which in practice makes displaying HDR games according to the creators' intentions much easier. Without this, you simply have to reckon with certain limitations in the final HDR image in games.

The Samsung U8092F performed phenomenally in our input lag tests. Regardless of the resolution or mode, the results were very low, which is truly impressive for this price range. It can be safely said that gaming on this television will not cause irritation due to significant delays between what we do on the controller and what we see on the screen. For most gamers, even those who are more demanding, this result should be more than satisfactory.

Input lag on the U7Q is really impressive. With 120 Hz content, we recorded around 9 ms, and with 60 Hz – around 17 ms. These are outstanding results that make the TV perform excellently even in dynamic games that require quick reactions. There is hardly anything to criticize here. Of course, as is often the case, the Dolby Vision mode in games seems a bit slower compared to classic SDR or HDR. This will mainly be noticeable for Xbox Series X/S console users, which are the only ones that support Dolby Vision Gaming. Fortunately, input lag still remains below 30 ms, so in practice, this is still an acceptable level even for more demanding gamers.

Working on a computer using this TV is a real pleasure. The Samsung U8092F supports chroma 4:4:4, and thanks to the layout of the sub-pixels in the IPS panel, text readability – regardless of color or size – is very, very good. The TV is also suitable for occasional gaming on PC, mainly due to its low input lag. However, one must keep in mind that the G-Sync feature does not work on this model, which is strange because VRR worked without any issues when it comes to the console.

The U7Q communicates excellently with the computer. For gamers, this is great news – we have high refresh rates, low input lag, and G-SYNC support, so gaming from the PC is pure pleasure. But the U7Q also performs well in everyday tasks. If someone uses a computer for text, browsing the internet, or office work – there’s nothing to complain about. The television correctly handles chroma 4:4:4, so fonts look sharp and clear, without blurriness or strange contours. Both lowercase and uppercase letters are simply readable – just as they should be.

The viewing angles on the Samsung U8092F are very good – as is expected from an IPS panel. The picture doesn’t lose much in brightness or color saturation, even at greater angles from the axis. Of course, it's not on the level of organic screens – but it’s entirely sufficient for comfortably watching the image at an angle, e.g., from the side of the sofa.

The viewing angles on the U7Q are rather weak – this is simply a typical characteristic of VA panels. Straight on, everything looks very good: blacks are deep, colors are saturated, and the contrast is high. But just shifting slightly to the side causes the image to start losing quality – colors become washed out, and blacks begin to resemble dark gray. Compared to TVs with IPS panels, the U7Q performs worse, although on the other hand, it makes up for it with better contrast and deeper blacks.

Thanks to the satin coating of the Samsung U8092F matrix, it handles glare quite well. The screen does not act like a mirror, and the colors – considering the capabilities of this class of devices – remain fairly saturated, even in somewhat brighter conditions. Unfortunately, the coating itself cannot perform miracles. The television is simply too dark to effectively penetrate very challenging lighting conditions. If we place it in front of a light source (e.g., a large window or a strong lamp) – unfortunately, one must consider that not everything will be clearly visible on it.

The U7Q performs quite well in a sunlit room. The brightness in SDR mode averages around 520 nits, which in practice means that even on sunny days, it's comfortable to watch television—without the feeling that everything is drowning in our reflections. Additionally, thanks to the satin coating on the panel, the television does a good job of reducing reflections.

Samsung U8092F – like all this year's models from this brand – runs on the Tizen operating system. The system itself is really well developed: we have access to many applications (though not all), a well-developed smart home support, and various add-ons, including exclusive Samsung apps. There are also features like AirPlay or Chromecast, which make it easy to connect a phone to the TV and transfer multimedia.

Unfortunately, since this is Samsung's cheapest series in 2025, the manufacturer did not decide to include a solar remote. In the package, we find a classic infrared remote, which visually resembles a newer version, but unfortunately lacks voice functions. As for typically "TV" features – it lacks recording functions and PiP (picture-in-picture) mode. On the plus side, however, HDMI eARC works well, allowing you to easily control devices from the set such as a decoder or soundbar – and it really works seamlessly.

Classic Features of U7Q

Hisense U7Q has a lot to offer when it comes to classic TV features. You can record programs to USB, easily connect external devices via Bluetooth, and the interface – such as EPG – is clear and readable. It may sound like something mainly appreciated by seniors, but the truth is that the U7Q has practically everything needed for watching traditional television. The only thing missing here is the PiP (picture-in-picture) feature.

Smart TV U7Q: Vidaa

When it comes to Smart features, the U7Q runs on the proprietary VIDAA system. And I must admit – it works really smoothly. Voice search in Polish? No issues. AirPlay and screen mirroring? They work without any problems as well. Of course, one must be aware that VIDAA is a closed system, so – as is often the case – some popular apps, especially those related to music, are missing. Therefore, before purchasing, it’s worth checking if all the apps you use daily are available.

Samsung U8092F handles playback of files rather smoothly – the television supports most popular audio and video formats. Of course, it does not support Dolby Vision, but we simply will not find that in any Samsung model.

There may be some reservations regarding the support for external text files – those that the user would like to add as subtitles to a movie. During our tests, the television only played TXT files, and other formats, such as SRT or SUB, unfortunately did not work. This may not be a problem for everyone, but it's worth knowing. Perhaps this is an issue to be improved in the future with an update to the television's operating system.

The built-in player in the U7Q fully meets the needs of most future users. The television seamlessly supports Polish characters and most popular video, audio, and photo formats. If we had to nitpick, it would be only about the limited support for certain photo resolutions – there are occasions when files from the camera are not displayed correctly. It's worth keeping this in mind if you plan to present photos directly from a DSLR or phone.

U8092F doesn't pretend to have a home theater onboard. We get a standard set of 2 x 10 W, which sounds decent, but without much excitement, though with a slight bass. For everyday viewing, this audio setup is completely sufficient. We were pleasantly surprised that it was able to play a movie with the built-in Dolby Atmos codec (JOC) – although, of course, we're not talking about true surround sound here.

Sound is one of the major advantages of the U7Q. The TV sounds really pleasant – there is a slightly noticeable bass, good tone balance, and it is definitely something more than just for "everyday news watching." You can easily play music on it and just enjoy the sound – of course in an entertaining way, not an audiophile one 😉. It also deserves high praise for full support for the most important audio codecs, which worked flawlessly. A small exception is Dolby Atmos in TrueHD version, which did not fully play when connected to a home theater, so if someone uses this format – it's worth keeping in mind – it may be a software bug.
