Hisense Canada has unveiled the U88 Series Mini-LED TV, a best-in-class addition to its 2025 ULED lineup that promises to transform home entertainment with unparalleled picture quality, vibrant colors, and immersive audio. Available in sizes from 55 to 100 inches, the U88 Series leverages cutting-edge Mini-LED PRO technology and AI-driven enhancements to deliver a cinematic experience for movie buffs, sports fans, and gamers alike.

  • Next-Level Gaming Performance
  • Immersive Audio Experience
  • Smart Features and Connectivity

Exceptional Visuals with Mini-LED PRO

The U88 Series achieves a staggering peak brightness of up to 5,000 nits, paired with expanded local dimming zones for deeper blacks, stunning highlights, and exceptional contrast in any lighting condition. Powered by Quantum Dot technology, the TV reproduces over a billion color combinations, delivering vibrant, true-to-life visuals. The Hi-View AI Engine PRO enhances every frame with real-time optimization of brightness, contrast, and color, using advanced scene recognition to sharpen details, reduce noise, and enhance depth. Whether it’s a high-action blockbuster or a subtle drama, the U88 ensures lifelike clarity without manual adjustments.

The U88 Series doesn’t just play your favorite shows and games—it transforms them into an immersive entertainment experience, said Puneet Jain, Senior Director of Marketing and Ecommerce for Hisense Canada. With cutting-edge Mini-LED technology, every detail is sharper, and every moment comes to life.

Next-Level Gaming Performance

Designed with gamers in mind, the U88 Series features a 165Hz Game Mode Ultra, supporting Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) from 48Hz to 165Hz, AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, and Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM). These technologies virtually eliminate screen tearing and input lag, ensuring smooth, responsive gameplay for both console and PC gamers. The inclusion of a USB-C port with DisplayPort functionality further enhances connectivity for gaming setups.

Immersive Audio Experience

The U88 Series elevates sound with an 82W Dolby Atmos 4.1.2 multi-channel audio system, featuring four side speakers, two upward-firing speakers, and a built-in subwoofer. This setup delivers a three-dimensional soundscape that enhances movie nights and gaming sessions, revealing details often missed in standard setups. The AI-driven Hi-View Engine PRO also optimizes audio in real-time, creating a truly immersive experience.

The Hisense U88 Series is a powerhouse of immersive entertainment, Jain added. Whether you’re watching a blockbuster, cheering on your team, or diving into the heart of the action, it transforms your living room into the ultimate viewing destination.

Smart Features and Connectivity

Equipped with Wi-Fi 6E, the U88 Series ensures ultra-fast streaming for 4K and HDR content. Running on Google TV, it provides seamless access to popular platforms like Netflix, Disney Plus, and more, with voice control via “Hey Google/VIDAA.” The TV supports all major HDR formats, including Dolby Vision IQ, HDR10+, and IMAX Enhanced, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of content.

Availability and Market Impact

The U88 Series is now available across Canada in 55-, 65-, 75-, 85-, and 100-inch models, catering to diverse room sizes and budgets. While pricing varies by retailer, the series is positioned as a premium yet accessible option compared to high-end OLEDs and other Mini-LED TVs. As the official partner of the FIFA Club World Cup 2025™, Hisense is poised to bring stadium-like excitement to homes nationwide with the U88 Series.

Publisher

Marco Lisi is the publisher of Best of High End, part of AV Concepts BV. His path into audio started early: as a teenager he was drawn into the world of free radio, presenting shows and living immersed in music every day. In his early twenties he ran his own production studio for five years, creating jingles and commercials — hands-on training in sound design, pro-audio workflows, and critical listening through studio monitors that still shapes how he evaluates gear today. He also spent years DJing in clubs before moving into publishing, first at two earlier online magazines before founding Best of High End. His hi-fi and home cinema passion was inherited from his father, an inveterate system-swapper. Marco's first setup — a confirmation gift — paired AKAI separates with entry-level Bowers & Wilkins speakers, a brand he stayed loyal to for years as his system grew from stereo into full surround and home cinema. Like many enthusiasts, he went through an extended "audiophile" phase chasing the next upgrade, before settling into a more grounded view: gear as a means to enjoy music and film, not an end in itself. Years of critical listening have given him a well-trained ear — the ability to characterize a system or pinpoint a change in the chain quickly and accurately. Just as important, his teaching background (a Belgian "regent" degree in Dutch language) gives him the tools to translate those listening impressions into clear, readable writing.
