If you're a gamer or enjoy watching fast-action content like sports, the Hisense U7H may be a better fit for you due to its superior motion processing and response times. However, the Hisense U6K is usually a bit less expensive and provides slightly better performance for watching movies, news, talk shows, and animated content. In bright rooms, both perform fairly well but the U7H has a slight advantage. Remember, the U7H is newer and may cost a bit more, so it comes down to whether the gaming and motion benefits are worth the extra investment for you. Both models have their strengths and the decision should be based on your primary use case and budget. Give Feedback

The Hisense U7H (LCD) is good for gaming, while the Hisense U6K (LCD) is only fair.
The Hisense U7H is considered better for gaming than the Hisense U6K because the U7H has a higher refresh rate, allowing for smoother motion during fast-paced games. While both TVs have similarly good input lag, ensuring minimal delay between player actions and on-screen response, the U7H offers a better response time, resulting in less motion blur during quick movements.

The Hisense U7H (LCD) is very good for news, talk, & other TV, while the Hisense U6K (LCD) is good.
The Hisense U6K provides good performance for watching news and TV shows, with commendable upscaling and decent out-of-the-box colors, which are necessary for a clear and vibrant viewing experience. In contrast, the Hisense U7H delivers a very good experience due to its better SDR brightness and superior upscaling ability, ensuring that even lower resolution content looks sharp, and brighter scenes stand out more in various lighting conditions.

The Hisense U7H (LCD) is good for bright room, while the Hisense U6K (LCD) is only fair.
The Hisense U7H has higher SDR and HDR brightness levels compared to the Hisense U6K, which makes the U7H more suitable for bright rooms as it can better overcome glare. While both TVs handle reflections only fairly, the superior brightness of the U7H contributes to its good performance in well-lit environments, as opposed to the fair performance of the U6K, providing a clearer picture despite direct light.

The Hisense U7H (LCD) and Hisense U6K (LCD) are both good for movies & TV.
The Hisense U6K and U7H are both good for watching movies and cinematic TV due to their high contrast and local dimming capabilities, which provide deep blacks and enhance the viewing experience in dark scenes. However, while both TVs have satisfactory color accuracy out of the box and decent color volume, the U7H has a slight edge in black uniformity, but both have limited viewing angles, making them less ideal for wide seating arrangements.

The Hisense U6K (LCD) and Hisense U7H (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Hisense U6K and U7H are both considered fair for watching sports largely due to their adequate motion processing and response time, which help in displaying fast-paced action with minimal blur. However, they may not handle reflections very well, which can be an issue in bright environments, and their viewing angles could be limiting if you often watch sports with a large group spread out across the room.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Hisense U6K (LCD) to be very good for cartoons & animation, while the Hisense U7H (LCD) is good.
The Hisense U6K is very good for watching cartoons and animation because it delivers colors that are impressive and accurate straight out of the box, with a very good color gamut to produce a wide spectrum of hues. Meanwhile, the Hisense U7H is simply good in this regard due to its fair color accuracy out of the box and a good color gamut that is somewhat less extensive than the U6K, but both TVs have very good color volume, ensuring they represent colors well across different luminosities.

Tom's guide
Christian de Looper | December 2022
"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."
