The Hisense U7H may serve better for gaming due to a higher gaming score, indicating it has features that gamers usually appreciate, like a higher refresh rate and possibly lower input lag. However, if you're on a budget, the Hisense U6H offers significant savings and still delivers good overall picture quality. Both TVs have similar scores for bright and dark room performance, so they should be reasonably reliable in different lighting conditions. For other content like movies, sports, and regular TV, both models offer comparable experiences, but the U6H edges slightly ahead for movies and TV shows, making it a good choice if those are your primary viewing preferences. Both provide a variety of HDR support and are equipped with LED FALD panels. Keep in mind, buying the U7H at a higher cost could mainly benefit gaming, while the U6H could save you money with little compromise on picture quality for general viewing. Give Feedback

The Hisense U7H (LCD) and Hisense U6H (LCD) are both good for bright room, though the Hisense U7H (LCD) is somewhat better.
The Hisense U7H has higher SDR and HDR brightness, making it well-suited for bright rooms as it can overcome ambient light better. On the other hand, the Hisense U6H is not as bright in either SDR or HDR, which means it might not stand out as much in well-lit conditions despite handling reflections decently.

The Hisense U6H (LCD) and Hisense U7H (LCD) are both good for movies & TV.
The Hisense U6H is praised for watching movies and cinematic TV due to its high contrast, which enhances the depth of black levels, and excellent colors out of the box, providing a vivid image. Meanwhile, the Hisense U7H, with its slightly better contrast and local dimming feature, offers improved black uniformity which is crucial for darker movie scenes, although it has less impressive colors straight out of the box compared to the U6H.

The Hisense U7H (LCD) and Hisense U6H (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Hisense U6H and U7H both offer fair performance for watching sports, however, they struggle with motion processing described as poor, which can lead to blurred movement during fast action. Although both have fair handling of reflections, which is useful in brighter rooms, their narrow viewing angles and only fair gray uniformity might detract from the experience when watching from the side or with a large group.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Hisense U6H (LCD) to be very good for cartoons & animation, while the Hisense U7H (LCD) is good.
The Hisense U6H is excellent for watching cartoons and animation due to its superb colors out of the box, meaning it provides vibrant colors without the need for much adjustment, and a good color gamut, ensuring it can display a wide range of colors. While the Hisense U7H also offers a good color gamut along with a very good color volume, granting it the ability to maintain color accuracy at different brightness levels, it has fair colors out of the box, which may require more tweaking to achieve the best results compared to the U6H.

The Hisense U6H (LCD) and Hisense U7H (LCD) are both very good for news, talk, & other TV.
The Hisense U6H and Hisense U7H are both praised for watching news, talk shows, and other TV programs because they excel in upscaling lower-resolution content and have good SDR brightness, ensuring clear images even in brighter rooms. Additionally, the U7H has somewhat better local dimming and color volume, which enhances contrast and color richness, but both TVs display accurate colors straight out of the box, making them well-suited for typical TV viewing.

How the Hisense U6H (LCD) and the Hisense U7H (LCD) compare to other TVs
"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. (...)"
"We loved the Hisense U7H. It was able to deliver an excellent all-around image quality in its price range. The TV excels at controlling its backlighting in a way that ensures you’ll never experience blooming to a level of being distracting, something that I was a little surprised to see given the lack of Mini LED. The TV doesn’t just get decently bright it offers relatively accurate color reproduction for a TV in this price range. The TV is being billed excellent for gaming."
