Hisense's 2025 U8-series Mini LED is unusually well-connected for a mid-priced TV. It has three HDMI 2.1 ports, all rated to 4K at 165Hz, with HDMI 3 handling eARC for Dolby Atmos passthrough. The standout is a side-mounted USB-C input with DisplayPort Alt Mode, letting you drive the panel from a laptop or phone over a single cable. Rounding it out are two USB-A ports (one USB 2.0, one USB 3.0), optical out, a 3.5mm audio output, a 3.5mm composite input via adapter, Ethernet and a coaxial tuner.
