High-end TV with gaming features at lower cost

Multifunctional televisions that can appeal to both blockbuster enthusiasts and demanding gamers without requiring a significant financial investment are available from brands such as TCL and Hisense. Hisense's 75E8S model, a large TV featuring a 4K Mini LED panel capable of reaching up to 144 Hz, has seen its price drop below 900 euros during the pre-Black Friday period.

Design and display features

The Hisense 75E8S TV features an elegant chassis with a central stand that facilitates installation on a TV cabinet and slim bezels that frame its large 4K Hi-QLED panel. The screen is quite large, with a diagonal of 189 cm, offering a large display area for immersion in films. Users should ensure sufficient distance in the room for good viewing comfort.

Image quality and HDR support

The Mini LED backlighting allows for deeper blacks and more pronounced contrasts. However, the most demanding cinephiles in terms of image quality might prefer an OLED TV with its abyssal blacks. The Hisense 75E8S is also very comprehensive in terms of HDR, supporting Dolby Vision IQ, HLG, HDR10, HDR10+, and HDR10+ Adaptive formats, allowing for richer images with more details in both dark and bright areas.

Audio features and partnerships

In terms of audio, the TV offers Dolby Atmos compatibility and includes a subwoofer. The audio has also been optimized by Devialet, as Hisense has signed a partnership with the French company for a long-term collaboration. To improve the audio rendering, users can invest in a good soundbar, especially since one of the HDMI 2.1 ports on the TV is compatible with eARC.

HDMI ports and gaming capabilities

Regarding the HDMI 2.1 ports, there are four in total on this Hisense 75E8S. Two of them (HDMI 3 and 4) go up to 4K at 144 Hz, suitable for current consoles such as the PS5 and Xbox Series X in 4K at 120 Hz, as well as for PC gamers in 4K at 144 Hz, provided they have a sufficiently powerful graphics card. The TV also supports ALLM, VRR (on the two 144 Hz ports) and AMD FreeSync Premium.

Software and Black Month sales

The TV operates under Vidaa, Hisense's in-house OS, modern and rich in customization options. Wireless streaming via AirPlay 2 is also available. The Black Friday is no longer just a weekend of good deals, but an entire month of promotions, referred to as Black Month. It is a good time to make end-of-year purchases, and users can find the best Tech offers at various retailers.
