The Hisense U6G offers a generally better picture quality and motion handling, making it a good choice for watching movies and sports. It also has better reflection handling, useful in brighter rooms. However, it lacks Bluetooth connectivity. On the other hand, the Hisense U6K, while generally less expensive and newer, has added features such as voice commands and supports 4k @ 120Hz, which might be more appealing if you are into gaming or value these smart features.

The Hisense U6G (LCD) is very good for news, talk, & other TV, while the Hisense U6K (LCD) is good.
The Hisense U6G is excellent for watching news, talk shows, and TV programs due to its superior upscaling ability and very good SDR brightness, which makes it adept at delivering clear images in various content resolutions and lighting conditions. The Hisense U6K, while providing good performance in similar contexts with good upscaling and SDR brightness, does not quite match the U6G's proficiency in these very important aspects.

The Hisense U6G (LCD) and Hisense U6K (LCD) are both good for movies & TV.
The Hisense U6G offers excellent black uniformity which is ideal for dark scenes in movies and enhances contrast, while its local dimming significantly improves picture quality in cinematic content. On the other hand, the Hisense U6K, while still good for movies, has slightly lower black uniformity and local dimming performance which may affect dark scene details, but it compensates with good color performance straight out of the box and an overall high contrast which is still very appealing for cinematic viewing.

The Hisense U6G (LCD) and Hisense U6K (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Hisense U6G has good response time which is beneficial for sports, but its motion processing is not scored. Meanwhile, the Hisense U6K has only fair response time with a low score for motion processing, which might result in less fluid movement during fast sports scenes. Both models are marked fair for reflections handling and have a limitations in viewing angles, meaning the picture may not look as good when viewed from the side. Their gray uniformity is close, with the U6G slightly better, which affects the appearance of a uniform field like a football pitch but is less critical than other factors.

The Hisense U6G (LCD) and Hisense U6K (LCD) are both only fair for gaming.
The Hisense U6G offers good response time and best input lag, making it responsive and well-suited for gaming, while the Hisense U6K has only fair response time but very good input lag, which might slightly affect fast-paced gaming but still keeps the gameplay responsive. Both TVs have a 60Hz refresh rate, which is standard for many games but may not be ideal for high-frame-rate gaming experiences.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Hisense U6G (LCD) to be good for bright room, while the Hisense U6K (LCD) is only fair.
The Hisense U6G displays brighter images in both SDR and HDR content, which is key for combating glare in well-lit rooms, while the Hisense U6K offers lower brightness levels, making it less ideal for bright settings. Additionally, the U6G handles reflections slightly better than the U6K, and although both have good color volume and gamut, which contribute to vibrant and varied colors, the U6G's superior brightness and reflection handling give it an advantage in brightly lit environments.
