For a brighter room, the Hisense U6G offers better performance with good brightness and reflection handling, whereas the R6G might not fare as well. If you watch a lot of movies and series, or appreciate vivid colors for cartoons and animation, the U6G again stands out with very good scores in these areas compared to the R6G's fair performance. For gaming, both TVs are quite similar, but if you're seeking the best response time, the U6G pulls ahead. The U6G's higher price reflects its advancements, like better overall picture quality, support for HDR10+, and Dolby Vision, as well as additional HDMI ports. Consider the U6G for a generally better viewing experience across various content, unless budget is your main constraint, then the R6G is a more wallet-friendly option with decent overall capabilities.
