If you're on a tight budget and looking for a smaller screen, the Samsung N5300 might suit you. However, it struggles with picture quality across most content, including sports and movies, and isn't ideal for gaming or bright rooms. On the other hand, the Hisense U7H, while more expensive, offers overall good picture quality, excels with news and gaming, and performs well in both dark and bright environments. If you often watch movies or play games and are willing to invest more for a larger screen and better experience, the Hisense U7H is the preferable option. Keep in mind though that the Hisense U7H has subpar quality control and quality assurance, which could affect durability or consistency. Give Feedback

"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."
