If you enjoy watching cartoons and animation, the Hisense U6K offers very good performance in that area, along with good overall picture quality and performance in dark rooms. However, it is not as strong in bright room settings and its quality control and gaming performance are not as impressive. On the other hand, the Toshiba C350LU excels with colors straight out of the box and has a very good viewing angle, which might be preferable if you often watch TV with a large group spread around the room. The Toshiba, while typically less expensive, does not perform as well across most content types, with poor picture quality and a weaker performance in gaming and movies. If you can invest more, the Hisense U6K might be the better choice for its overall performance, but if saving money is a priority and you need a TV with a wide viewing angle, the Toshiba C350LU could satisfy those needs. Both TVs support common HDR formats, but note that the Hisense has additional gaming-related features such as HGiG and better motion handling capabilities. Give Feedback
