If you're looking to save money, the Samsung Q60A is a budget-friendly option with good bright room performance and very good contrast. However, for a better gaming experience or if HDR content is important to you, the Hisense U7H offers higher refresh rates and supports more HDR formats, including Dolby Vision and HDR10+. Keep in mind, though, the Hisense U7H has a lower quality control score, which could reflect inconsistency in production. Both TVs have good overall picture quality and similar speaker power, but the Hisense offers a larger screen and more HDMI ports, making it a little more future-proof if you plan to connect multiple devices.

How the Hisense U7H (LCD) and the Samsung Q60A (LCD) compare to other TVs
"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."
"The least expensive QLED is a solid choice for Samsung fans. Right out of the gate my eye was drawn to the Samsung. It is bright. The quantum dots let the Q60A produce far deeper, richer colors than the Vizio and TCL"
