Choose the Hisense U7K if you're looking for a TV with better gaming performance and overall picture quality, especially if you plan on using it as a monitor. Its improved reflection handling makes it more suitable for brighter rooms, and it even includes voice command features. On the other hand, pick the Hisense U7G if you're more interested in watching movies, sports, or animated content and you're content with good performance but not seeking the latest model. Both TVs have similar price points, so your decision should be based on these performance and feature preferences. Give Feedback

The Hisense U7K (LCD) is very good for movies & TV, while the Hisense U7G (LCD) is good.
The Hisense U7G provides high contrast suitable for movies but its lower local dimming and black uniformity capabilities may slightly affect its ability to display true blacks in dark scenes. The Hisense U7K, however, offers improved local dimming and outstanding black uniformity, ensuring richer, deeper blacks in cinematic content, although both models show similar colors out of the box and viewing angles, which are decent for a typical living room setting but may not be ideal for wide-seating arrangements.

Similarly, the Hisense U7K also bolsters its gaming capabilities with a good response time, low input lag, and an even higher refresh rate of 144Hz, allowing for even more fluid gameplay.

The Hisense U7K is rated very good for watching cartoons & animation because it has very good scores for colors out of the box and color gamut, ensuring vibrant and accurate colors which are essential for animated content. In contrast, the Hisense U7G, while still good, has only fair scores for colors out of the box and a lower color gamut, resulting in less impressive color reproduction for animated shows and movies.

The Hisense U7K (LCD) and Hisense U7G (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Hisense U7G and U7K both display characteristics that are fair for watching sports due to their ability to handle reflections and process motion, ensuring that fast-moving objects are rendered smoothly on-screen. However, they might be less ideal for wider viewing arrangements or uniformly displaying colors across the screen, such as the gray seen in a sports field.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Hisense U7K (LCD) to be very good for bright room, while the Hisense U7G (LCD) is good.
The Hisense U7K performs better in a bright room than the U7G due to its higher SDR brightness, meaning it can combat ambient light more effectively, and its superior handling of reflections, reducing glare from light sources. Although the Hisense U7G is also good for bright rooms with solid SDR brightness and fair reflection handling, the U7K offers an improvement in these areas, which are very important for well-lit environments.
