If you’re a console gamer or entertainment buff looking for a high-quality, dedicated TV for your space, the Hisense U8N is an excellent choice. With a 144Hz native refresh rate, motion blur is practically nonexistent. However, the TV is also equipped with AMD FreeSync Premium Pro VRR to help prevent stuttering and tearing. If those aren’t enough reasons to pick up the TV, you can save up to $1,000 on the Hisense U8N right now at Best Buy.
Also: How I optimized the cheapest 98-inch TV available to look and sound incredible
While I’m primarily a PC gamer, I do have a PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch, so I can keep up with platform exclusives and play party games with friends whenever the stars align (and we all have a Saturday free.) My main TV is an older 50-inch Samsung TU7000, which is fine enough for gaming, and the Hisense U8K I previously tested has pride of place in the master bedroom, where it’s mostly a glorified YouTube and Dropout box. Even though last year’s Hisense U8K has served me well, the U8N definitely has it beat.
