If you're on a budget, the Hisense U6H may be the better option as it is often significantly less expensive and provides better overall picture quality compared to the Samsung CU8000. It also offers better dark room performance, which could enhance your movie-watching experience. However, if you watch a lot of sports, the Samsung CU8000 is better suited with a higher sports content score and may be a good choice despite its often significantly higher price. Both TVs may not perform their best in very bright rooms, but the Hisense U6H has a slight edge over the Samsung CU8000 in this regard. Additionally, if gaming is a priority, the Hisense U6H offers a better experience. Neither TV comes with great speakers, so you might consider investing in a sound system regardless of which TV you choose. Give Feedback

Tom's guide

Matthew Murray | March 2023
"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. (...)"
