The Hisense U6K generally costs less and has better overall picture quality, making it a good choice if you're on a budget and prioritize picture performance. It performs adequately in brightly lit rooms and offers good viewing for movies and sports. The Hisense also has better gaming performance, so it's a solid option if gaming is important to you. However, its build quality and quality control may not match the Samsung's. On the other hand, the Samsung Q60B is more expensive but provides excellent black uniformity, which could be important for watching content in dark rooms. It also has a slightly better viewing angle, making it suitable if you often watch TV from different positions. However, its overall picture quality and gaming performance are not as strong as the Hisense's. Both TVs support HDR content, but only the Hisense supports both HDR10+ and Dolby Vision, whereas the Samsung does not support Dolby Vision. If a wide range of HDR format support is important for your viewing experience, the Hisense could be the preferred option. Give Feedback

The Hisense U6K (LCD) is good for movies & TV, while the Samsung Q60B (LCD) is only fair.
The Hisense U6K is better for movies and cinematic TV due to its local dimming feature, which enhances contrast and improves the quality of dark scenes, as well as its good black uniformity that makes dark colors appear more consistent across the screen. However, the Samsung Q60B, despite having excellent color accuracy out of the box, lacks local dimming and has a lower black uniformity score, which can affect the depth and uniformity of black shades during movie viewing.

The Hisense U6K (LCD) is only fair for gaming, while the Samsung Q60B (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense U6K offers fair response time and input lag well-suited for gaming, while the Samsung Q60B, despite having slightly better input lag, falls behind with poor response time, leading to less fluid motion during fast-paced games. Refresh rates for both TVs are similar, but the U6K's response time makes it more suitable for gaming overall.

The Samsung Q60B (LCD) and Hisense U6K (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Hisense U6K has fair response time which is suitable for sports but struggles with reflections handling which can be problematic in bright rooms. The Samsung Q60B, on the other hand, has poor motion processing which may result in blur during fast scenes in sports, although it has a better handle on reflections compared to the Hisense U6K.

The Samsung Q60B (LCD) and Hisense U6K (LCD) are both very good for cartoons & animation.
The Hisense U6K displays vibrant and accurate colors without the need for calibration, which is essential for cartoons and animation, and it covers a wide range of colors although its color volume is somewhat limited. The Samsung Q60B offers excellent color accuracy right out of the box with a satisfactory color gamut, ensuring cartoons look vivid, but like the Hisense, its color volume is also somewhat confined and it may not display shades as richly in certain scenes.

CNET
David Katzmaier | June 2022
"Samsung's 2022 QLED workhorse shines in bright rooms and with HDR. The Samsung Q60B stands out from the slew of entry-level TVs with an ultra-thin frame, a skinny profile from the side and even narrow stand legs. The Q60B is a very good bright-room TV, and my subjective impression of its ample light output was proven by measurements."
