It didn't happen last year. You may have to wait 10 months. This is an aggressive price in July though. Has anyone reviewed the 85 inch U8N?

I don't feel like this unit was available last year in the US, it's fairly new. Yes there are reviews out, and they are positive.

These are the same reviews and quite lame to be honest. They are not actual reviews of the 85 inch model. They are actually reviewing the 65 inch model. Manufacturers 85 inch panels tend to be a bit different. I have no doubt it's a great set.

I certainly hope Hisense has worked on their picture processing and off angle
They could both be really sketchy on the U8 series from a couple of years ago, that I own

People that care about the best video upscaling quality buy a higher end brand name TV (ex: Sony) or connect a Nvidia Shield Pro and use it's AI upscaling instead of the TVs.

It's currently $102 cheaper at Amazon ($1,697.99 w/free shipping). I would buy it from Best Buy and get them to price match since it would be easier to get it replaced if it's damaged.

Installation is extra for the U8N models. Free installation is included on the 100" QD7N, 100" U76N, 100" U8K, and 98"/110" UX models.

Upscaling of 480p on the U8N isn't terrible, rather just average compared to the top end TVs. If one wants the best upscaling out there then spend $2,500 on a Sony 85" BRAVIA 7 mini-LED QLED or use a Nvidia Shield Pro. The U8N with a Nvidia Shield Pro is $600 less than the Sony alone. Though upscaling 480p on a 85" and viewing at closer distances isn't going to look all that great no matter how good the upscaling is.
