The Hisense U7G generally offers better overall picture quality, and it's particularly stronger in gaming, bright room performance, and color handling. If you're a gamer or you plan to watch TV in well-lit environments, the U7G with its higher brightness and better reflection handling may be the better choice. Additionally, it supports a higher refresh rate which can be beneficial for certain gaming and fast action content. On the other hand, the Hisense U6K is often less expensive and still performs well for movies and general viewing, especially in dark rooms. If you're looking to save money and your primary use is watching movies or you'll be viewing in a darker environment, the U6K might be sufficient. Both options are quite similar in many other respects, including support for various HDR formats, having the same number of HDMI ports, and not having great built-in speakers, so you may want to consider a soundbar for either TV. In summary, for better gaming and brighter room performance, consider the U7G, but if you want to save money and mostly watch movies in darker environments, the U6K could be suitable. Give Feedback

The Hisense U7G (LCD) is very good for news, talk, & other TV, while the Hisense U6K (LCD) is good.
The Hisense U7G is ranked very good at upscaling and has better SDR brightness which is important for viewing in brighter environments, making it an excellent choice for watching news and TV programs, with somewhat better performance in areas like colors out of the box and contrast compared to the Hisense U6K, which is still good for these types of content but might not deliver the same level of brightness and clarity.

The Hisense U7G (LCD) is good for bright room, while the Hisense U6K (LCD) is only fair.
The Hisense U7G performs better in bright rooms mainly due to its higher SDR and HDR brightness, allowing it to overcome ambient light more effectively, while the Hisense U6K, despite fair performance, might not be as bright. Both models handle reflections similarly; however, the U7G's superior color volume and color gamut contribute to more vibrant and varied colors, enhancing the viewing experience in well-lit conditions.

The Hisense U7G (LCD) and Hisense U6K (LCD) are both good for movies & TV.
The Hisense U6K is well-suited for watching movies and cinematic TV due to its miniLED Full Array Local Dimming (FALD) which provides good contrast and black uniformity, enhancing dark scene performance; its colors out of the box and color volume are also good, contributing to a vibrant picture, although its viewing angles are limited. Meanwhile, the Hisense U7G offers slightly better contrast and black uniformity with its LED FALD, and it exhibits better gray uniformity and viewing angles, ensuring more consistent image quality across the screen, but with less impressive colors straight out of the box compared to the U6K.

The Hisense U7G (LCD) and Hisense U6K (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Hisense U6K and U7G both have fair performance when watching sports due to their decent motion processing and adequate response times, which are crucial for handling fast-moving scenes; however, their limited viewing angles and struggle with reflections might affect the viewing experience in bright rooms or when viewed from the side. The U7G does perform better with a stronger response time, but both TVs still have issues with gray uniformity, which is noticeable in sports with large uniform colors like a football field.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Hisense U6K (LCD) to be very good for cartoons & animation, while the Hisense U7G (LCD) is good.
The Hisense U6K is rated highly for cartoons and animation due to its 'Very Good' color gamut and 'Good' performance right out of the box, indicating viewers will enjoy vibrant and accurate colors without the need for calibration. In comparison, the Hisense U7G, while still performing well for these types of content, has slightly less impressive color performance both out of the box and in terms of color gamut, making it a bit less optimal for viewing animated content with these considerations.
