Display and Audio Performance
The UR8S series relies on RGB MiniLED backlighting, a panel architecture designed to boost color precision, contrast, and brightness uniformity compared to standard MiniLED screens. Under the hood, the Hi-View AI Engine RGB analyzes and adjusts colors and luminance in real time. An integrated AI RGB light sensor reads ambient conditions in the room to calibrate picture settings automatically between day and night.
For high-speed content, the display runs at a native 180Hz refresh rate, which benefits live sports broadcasts and gaming consoles. The panel reaches up to 3,500 nits peak brightness, helping highlights stand out in HDR mastered scenes. The screen incorporates anti-reflection and glare-free surface treatment to curb harsh window and room light reflections common in Indian living rooms.
For entertainment formats, the line supports Dolby Vision, IMAX Enhanced, and Filmmaker Mode. Audio comes via a built-in 2.1.2-channel surround sound setup that supports Dolby Atmos processing.
Smart Features and Retail Availability
The television runs on Hisense’s in-house VIDAA smart platform. The interface supports hands-free voice commands, VIDAA Voice, built-in Amazon Alexa, Apple AirPlay, Apple Home, and Google Home compatibility. The physical chassis sports a bezel-free frame to fit modern wall mounts or console stands.
Hisense has partnered with Vardhman Electronics, an established retail brand founded in 1996 that operates more than 50 outlets across northern India. Hisense also recently set up an experience store and its national headquarters in Gurugram, following the opening of its local television production plant at Sri City, Andhra Pradesh. Alongside offline stores, the UR8S series sells through Amazon, Flipkart, and Reliance Digital.
