If you’re after a crazy-bright TV, Hisense’s U8 series has you covered.
In the past few years, each new U8 model has ramped up the juice considerably, with the U8QG offering another powerful upgrade over last year’s U8N (8/10, WIRED Recommends).
Premium Design, Budget CaveatsPhotograph: Ryan WaniataLike the U8N before it, the U8QG (the “G” stands for Google TV) ships with a stout and stylish pedestal stand.
Setting up the Google TV smart system is much simpler, especially with a G Suite account.
You can do most of the work from your phone, though the new Google TV app Hisense employs was jankier connecting to my system than the Google Home app used in previous models.
