If you prioritize a larger screen and slightly better overall picture quality and are willing to pay a premium, the Hisense UX may be a suitable choice. However, the Hisense U8K offers a balance of price and performance and may be more cost-effective, especially considering it is typically much less expensive. Both models have similar features with effective room lighting adjustments and voice commands, but the U8K may not match the UX in screen size or the highest standards of picture refinement. If cost is a driving factor and you need good performance in varied lighting conditions, consider the U8K. If size and the pinnacle of picture quality are crucial and budget is less of a concern, the UX could be the way to go. Give Feedback

The Hisense UX (LCD) and Hisense U8K (LCD) are both very good for movies & TV.
The Hisense U8K and Hisense UX both excel at watching movies and cinematic TV due to their high contrast ratios, effective local dimming, and excellent black uniformity, ensuring deep blacks and rich dark scenes. The U8K has a slightly lower contrast but compensates with brilliant colors out of the box and a high color volume, while the UX offers better gray uniformity and viewing angles, making it more suitable for wider seating arrangements.

The Hisense UX (LCD) and Hisense U8K (LCD) are both very good for news, talk, & other TV.
The Hisense U8K and Hisense UX both have strong upscaling capabilities, which is crucial for enhancing lower-resolution content such as standard definition TV programs to look clear on their high-resolution displays. However, the Hisense UX stands out for its superior SDR brightness which ensures that news and talk shows are displayed with vivid clarity, even in well-lit rooms, while both TVs offer good performance in other somewhat important areas like colors out of the box, color gamut, and local dimming.
