If you're looking for a TV within a budget range and want a larger screen size, the Hisense U6H could be the better choice as it offers a 50-inch screen for often significantly less than the Samsung Q60A, which has a 32-inch screen. The Samsung Q60A, however, provides better quality when viewing in bright rooms and sports content. For dark room viewing, both TVs perform adequately. If gaming and using the TV as a monitor are important to you, the Samsung outperforms the Hisense. While both TVs have good overall picture quality, the Hisense U6H excels with colors out of the box and has an additional HDMI port, which might be useful if you have multiple devices to connect. Neither TV has great speakers, so you might consider a separate sound system for improved audio. If future-proofing for HDR content is a consideration, the Hisense supports a wider range of HDR formats, including HDR10+, Dolby Vision, and HLG. Keep in mind that neither are the best in class for fast motion processing, which could be a factor if you watch a lot of action-packed content or play fast-paced video games. Give Feedback

"A budget TV that exceeds expectations. (...) For a TV that costs as little as this one does, its brightness and color are above-average (...) The U6H may not get quite as bright as its splashier siblings, but for its class, it fares pretty well. (...) As far as input lag, the U6H is an impressive performer. (...) Costing less than most of its direct competitors, and matching or bettering them in several key areas, it’s an irresistible value proposition. (...)"
"The least expensive QLED is a solid choice for Samsung fans. Right out of the gate my eye was drawn to the Samsung. It is bright. The quantum dots let the Q60A produce far deeper, richer colors than the Vizio and TCL"
