Amazon Prime Day officially kicks off next week on July 8, but you’d think the sales event was already underway, given the TV deals already live on Amazon, such as the Hisense U8QG 55-inch mini-LED TV for $897.99 (was $1,499.99). That’s 40% off the 55-inch U8QG’s original price, and a stunning discount.
New TVs – the Hisense U8QG is a 2025 model – typically get a discount around the July 4th holiday and during the July Prime Day sales event, but it’s rare for one to get this deep a price cut so early. And Amazon’s current deal isn’t even the lowest that the 55-inch U8QG’s price has dropped – it was $40 cheaper for one week in late June.
I gave the Hisense U8QG 4.5 out of five stars in my review, and it has since been added to our best TVs guide. Its picture is astonishingly bright even by mini-LED TV standards, and that brightness, combined with the U8QG’s Anti-Reflection Pro screen, makes it a great option for watching sports in bright rooms.
The U8QG offers wide-ranging HDR support, with Dolby Vision, Dolby Vision IQ, HDR10, HDR 10+, HDR10+ Adaptive, and HLG formats all covered. It’s also a great TV for gaming, with three HDMI 2.1 ports that support 4K 165Hz, FreeSync Premium Pro, and both Dolby Vision and HDR10+ gaming.
Not all was perfect with the Hisense U8QG when I reviewed it – the built-in subwoofer tended to rattle when watching movies with deep bass, and info for broadcast TV channels pulled in by its ATSC 3.0 tuner weren’t properly displayed in its Google TV Live TV programming grid. However, the former issue can be addressed by pairing it with one of the best soundbars, while the latter is likely to have been fixed via a software update.
Bottom line: the 55-inch Hisense for U8QG for $897.99 is an incredible deal on one of 2025’s brightest and best TVs.
