Hisense E8S TV Review | A feature-rich alternative
It is positioned as a premium, value-driven Mini-LED TV with features such as a 144 Hz display, Full Array Local Dimming, Dolby Vision IQ, Dolby Atmos and a built-in subwoofer
The Indian television market has transformed over time. Initially, consumers were satisfied with a basic 4K screen. However, today's buyers seek more from their TVs, including superior picture quality, sound, OTT streaming, gaming, and smart features. The Hisense E8S 65-inch TV reflects this shift. Priced at ₹76,990, this Mini-LED TV offers a premium, value-driven experience with features like a 144 Hz display, Full Array Local Dimming, Dolby Vision IQ, Dolby Atmos, and a built-in subwoofer.
The TV boasts a clean, modern design that complements a stylish living room. Its slim unibody design and thin bezels focus attention on the screen. The semi-matte, anti-reflective panel improves picture quality in moderately lit rooms, reducing reflections without complete elimination. The TV's stand is stable and straightforward to install, offering four HDMI ports, two USB 2.0 ports, an antenna connector, a satellite connector, a LAN port, and optical audio output for versatile connectivity.
Mini-LED technology, Quantum Dot Colour, and Full Array Local Dimming with up to 608 local dimming zones and 1,000 nits of peak brightness deliver exceptional contrast and deep blacks. The Hi-QLED colour technology, Pantone Validation, and the Hi-View AI Engine produce rich colors and optimize picture quality, whether for movies, sports, or streaming.
Hisense's E8S also prioritizes sound, featuring a built-in subwoofer tuned by Devialet that supports Dolby Atmos and WiSA SoundSend. This results in a more immersive audio experience, with clear dialogue and enhanced bass in movies and games. The built-in speakers are capable for everyday viewing, but users may prefer a dedicated soundbar or home theater system for a more immersive experience.
The VIDAA Smart OS provides a user-friendly interface, multiple voice assistants, and smart-home connectivity. Despite its 1-star energy rating, the E8S remains a well-rounded Mini-LED TV that caters to movies, OTT content, gaming, and everyday entertainment, making it a formidable alternative to established brands like Samsung and LG.
