Hisense 75U800GR Roku TV Delivers 8K for $2,400

The Hisense 75U800GR Roku TV is $2,399.95 making it one of the most affordable 8K TVs around a rather good deal.

Although consumers are paying more for consumer electronic devices these days due to the effects of the worldwide chip shortage and other supply chain issues, the TV market is still highly competitive when it comes to pricing.

The 8K TV Market

Although the number of 8K TV models are increasing, the vast majority of TVs sold are 4K UHD TVs. One of the reasons holding back 8K TV acceptance is although you can watch 1080p and 4K content on an 8K TV via upscaling, there is a big lack of actual 8K content to watch.  Another reason is that most people can’t see the difference between 4K and 8K resolution.

YouTube and Vimeo offer a limited amount of 8K streaming content, but other streaming services, such as Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, don’t offer it yet, and it is unlikely that you will be able to watch 8K on cable, satellite, or over-the-air broadcast TV before the end of the current decade. 

All that being said, the number of 8K TVs being offered is slowly increasing on store shelves and consumers are slowly making the move to purchase them. 

Hisense Makes a Strategic Move

Earlier in 2021, TCL made a big splash with two lower-priced 8K TVs that have caught the attention of TV buyers and other manufacturers. As a possible result, it looks like Hisense has jumped in to counter TCL by lowering the price of its current single 8K TV model, the 75U800GR substantially. You can find this 75-inch 8K TV on Amazon for as low as $2,399.99. When this model was first introduced it carried a price of $3,499.99!

Compare that TCL’s 6-Series 8K TV offerings and Samsung’s highest price 75-inch 4K NeoQLED TV (on sale for $2797 at Amazon), you can see how the 8K TV pricing move by Hisense is significant. 

Although there are some aspects of the Samsung example that may be superior outside of the resolution difference, the Hisense 8K 75U800GR is definitely no slouch. Not only that, but Hisense has extended its 100 Day No Regrets Return Policy through December 31, 2021
