Just when we think we ’d already seen all of what2024 ’s mini - lead TVshad to offer , Hisense at long last give us the chance to look at the new summit of its ULED display , the U9N. It ’s a video that ’s urgently trying to thread that fine acerate leaf between ultra - premium and upper mid - grade , but all wrapped up with a bow thanks to the whopping 5,000 nits of stated peak brightness . Is it a contender ? maybe , so long as you have a juicy enough wallet to dangle the $ 2,999 or $ 3,999 , severally , for the monolithic 75 - inch and 85 - column inch screens .
Along with that cleverness , the U9N 4 K QLED tv set boasts more than 5,300 local dimming zones . It ’s large and bright and , most importantly , colorful . It support Dolby Vision and HDR 10 + , which sure enough gives it a slender edge when comparing it toSamsung ’s QN90D 4 K NEO QLED($3,300 at 75 inches ) which still only supports the company ’s in - house brand of HDR .
To top it off , the telecasting hold a 144 Hz refresh rate , which should be enough forXbox Series XorPlayStation 5running at 4K. Hisense is promising the video is going to get the AI enhancements from some of its flagship , extremist - premium TVS , namely the 98UX QLED and 110UX QLED ( which , you may guess by the name , measure upwards of 100 inches ) , with the fellowship ’s own Hi - survey Engine X. What that have in mind in practice is belike very , very nonaged visual improvements , but it might be enough to truly localise it apart from the other idiot box in the same card .

Gizmodo generate to see the U9N in person , but we did n’t have a chance to play with the preferences or do anything more than watch a few cartridge clip scroll across the screen . Sure it looks bright and beautiful , but just like at CES , we did n’t really get to put the television receiver through its paces outside an extremist - controlled environs . However , say that I was still impressed with the overall brightness and anti - glare ability of the television receiver considering the quad we were in unquestionably was n’t the best it could be for a regard experience .
I personally apprise the speakers build into the side of Hisense screens for those who just ca n’t be bothered with a soundbar . Sure , it has a 4.1.2 multi - channel audio frequency setup that we would want to essay ourselves , but it ’s fair to say the U9N is go along the legacy of Hisense ’s strategy of presenting rather good television set that be a fair bit less than others like Sony or Samsung .
Compare all that to theU6N , U7N , andU8N. The latter two telly are also promise some of the same AI features , though with a grim crest brightness at 3,000 nits . They all endure WiFi 6e and the built - in Game Mode and Game Bar features .

At least on paper , the U9N seems like it ’s trying really heavy to extend a agiotage experience with a bit less hurt on your wallet . Take for instanceSony ’s newfangled Bravia serieswhich caps off with the ultra - high - end mini - head Bravia 9 . At 75 inches , the QLED be $ 4,000 with claim that the video is the brightest cover the troupe has ever produce . However , we still do n’t know the exact stats for just how shining that really is , though the Bravia 9 features some pretty savage number one wood applied science with an unbelievable amount of local dimming potential . If Hisense can match these other video manufacturers in video display timber and still keep that price point , it will for certain make a case for itself in a very crowded QLED grocery store .
The U9N should be available sometime this summertime onBest Buy ’s site .
