Amazon has begun offering deep price reductions on the Hisense U8QG Mini-LED television series in anticipation of the Black Friday shopping period, with the entry-level 55-inch model now listed for $797.96.
Price cuts across the size range
The 55-inch U8QG was originally priced at $1,424.99 and now sells for $797.96, reflecting a discount of $627.03. This change makes the smaller screen more accessible to budget-conscious buyers who want Mini-LED technology.
The 65-inch version, which previously cost $1,099.99, is now offered at $997.96, a reduction of $102.03. This mid-size option balances a larger viewing area with a still-significant savings.
The 75-inch model drops from $1,998.00 to $1,399.99, providing a $598.01 discount that brings a big-screen experience into the range of many living rooms. The 85-inch variant is now $1,799.99, down $100 from its former $1,899.99 price tag.
At the top of the line, the 100-inch U8QG is priced at $2,798.99, which is $1,201 less than the original $3,999.99 cost. All of these figures include free room-of-choice delivery, a service that would normally add $19.99 to the total purchase price.
Display performance highlights
Hisense rates the U8QG’s peak brightness at up to 5,000 nits, while independent testing by PCMag recorded roughly 3,200 nits on the 65-inch unit. Those brightness levels help maintain strong highlights in Dolby Vision and HDR10 content, even in well-lit environments.
The Mini-LED backlight relies on local dimming zones to achieve deep black levels, though some bloom can be observed around bright objects set against dark backgrounds. Compared with earlier U8 releases, this generation delivers higher peak brightness and a more refined dimming algorithm, narrowing the visual gap with premium competitors while staying well below flagship pricing.
Audio and gaming capabilities
The built-in speaker arrangement follows a 4.1.2 layout, adding dedicated surround channels, a subwoofer, and upward-firing drivers that create a more immersive cinematic sound field.
Gamers benefit from a 165 Hz refresh rate, variable refresh rate support, and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro technology. Measured input lag stands at 4.3 ms when the TV runs at 1080p / 120 Hz, and rises to 10.1 ms at 4K / 60 Hz, which is low enough for competitive play.
A side-mounted USB-C port accepts DisplayPort video, while the integrated Google TV platform supplies a wide range of streaming apps and also supports Apple AirPlay and Google Cast for easy content sharing.
The unit includes three HDMI ports, which can fill up quickly when a console, a soundbar, and a streaming device are all connected at once.
Black Friday timing and shopping tips
Amazon’s Black Friday sales officially begin on Friday, Nov. 27, 2026, and continue through Cyber Week, ending on Dec. 2, 2026. Early deals may appear before the official start date, giving shoppers a chance to lock in savings ahead of the rush.
Using price-tracking tools is recommended to confirm that the listed discounts represent genuine savings rather than temporary price flips. Amazon Prime members also enjoy faster shipping options, which can be especially useful for larger televisions that require careful handling.
