![]() From seats to either side the R8 kept black level fidelity better than the Sony but not quite as well as the TCL, while the Sony preserved color best. Moving patterns revealed more background brightness variations, and the same went for certain program material I watched like an NHL hockey match, where the pans across the ice showed less-uniform lighting and more of a "dirty screen effect" than on the other TVs. Uniformity: The R8 sample I tested was the worst of the three in this category, with uneven backlighting visible across the screen in full-field static test patterns especially at low light. Without game mode turned on lag measured 32ms for 1080p and 109 for 4K HDR. Input lag in game mode was excellent at around 13 milliseconds for both 1080p and 4K HDR, and I liked that you can apply that mode to any picture setting, for example Movie mode for peak accuracy. Without it the H9G only achieves the standard 300-ish lines typical of any 60Hz TV. As usual it improves motion resolution (up to 1080 lines) but dims the and introduces flicker, so I prefer to leave it turned off. The Motion Clarity setting, meanwhile, introduces Black Frame Insertion. Stutter in the "Off" setting was terrible, while the other settings caused a significant soap opera effect (SOE). The effect was subtle but certainly noticeable to film purists. ![]() The best of its various Motion Enhancement settings for movies was "Low," which still introduced a hitching motion when I played the pan over the aircraft carrier from I Am Legend. Video processing: The Hisense is one of the few TVs I've tested that doesn't pass my standard test for proper 24-frame cadence.
