Is this currently the best value TV in the Czech Republic? Hisense 75U8Q has 2,880 zones, 165 Hz, and great sound

The Hisense U8Q series is among the most ambitious Mini LED TVs on the market – and you can now get the 75″ version with code ALZADNY30 for 34,993 CZK instead of the original 49,990 CZK. For this price, you get 2,880 dimming zones, which is more than many more expensive competitors offer, a premium 4.1.2 sound system with a built-in subwoofer, and complete gaming features with 165 Hz.

Quick summary:
✅ Makes sense if you want a large Mini LED TV with above-average sound and picture and don’t want to pay 50,000+.
⚠️ Consider if perfect blacks in a dark room are your primary concern – OLED still leads there.
💡 For 34,993 CZK, the diagonal / number of dimming zones / sound ratio is one of the best on the Czech market.

What makes the U8Q interesting

The key parameter is 2,880 local dimming zones – this is significantly more than most competitors offer at a similar price (the TCL C8K has the same number but costs 11,000 more). A high number of zones in practice means more precise backlighting, better contrast, and less halo effect around bright objects on a dark background. Reviewers from What Hi-Fi? praised the 65″ version for its extraordinary brightness, deep blacks, and excellent contrast – a combination that, in Standard mode, is among the best they’ve seen in Mini LED TVs.

The Hi-View AI Engine PRO processor analyzes the image scene by scene and handles AI upscaling to 4K, automatic switching of picture modes according to content type, and adaptive brightness adjustment to ambient lighting, of course. All important HDR formats are supported: Dolby Vision IQ, HDR10+ Adaptive, HDR10, and HLG. Plus, IMAX Enhanced certification and Filmmaker Mode.

Sound and Gaming Features

Where the Hisense U8Q stands out from most competitors is its sound. The 4.1.2 system with 90 W output includes side, top, and rear speakers plus a subwoofer. Dolby Atmos support and the Hi-Concerto function (synchronization with a Hisense soundbar) complete the features. Reviewers confirm that the sound is powerful and spatial – for many scenes, you’ll manage without external audio equipment.

For gamers: 165 Hz in gaming mode at 4K, VRR, ALLM, FreeSync Premium Pro, a gaming dashboard with real-time performance management, and a USB-C port supporting 4K/165 Hz transmission. Four HDMI 2.1 ports mean plenty of room for consoles and PCs.

What to expect

No TV is perfect, and the U8Q has a few compromises. Reviewers point out occasional inconsistencies in the picture – in some scenes, colors (especially skin tones) can look slightly unnatural, and dynamic tone mapping can be too aggressive. Filmmaker Mode paradoxically darkens the image more than necessary, and blacks lose depth compared to Standard mode. The TV is also quite heavy – keep this in mind when wall-mounting. The VIDAA system is functional and has Czech voice control, but it’s not as sophisticated as Google TV or webOS.

Verdict

The Hisense 75U8Q for 34,993 CZK is one of the best-equipped 75″ Mini LED TVs you can get on the Czech market for this price. The combination of 2,880 dimming zones, 90W 4.1.2 sound, full HDR support, and 165Hz gaming mode is hard to beat in the sub-35,000 CZK category. The picture in Standard mode is stunning at its best. If you’re looking for a large TV for a bright room with high brightness and solid sound right out of the box, this discount is worth considering. Plus, a 5-year warranty after registration is a nice bonus.

For a 75″ TV, would you rather choose Mini LED with high brightness, or OLED with perfect blacks?
