The Hisense U7K is generally a bit cheaper and might be a better fit if you're into gaming, thanks to its higher gaming score and 144Hz screen refresh rate. It also has a higher overall picture quality and performs well in dark rooms. The Hisense also has better speakers and supports advanced features like Dolby Vision and HDR10+ which are quite important for movie enthusiasts. On the other hand, the Samsung Q60C could save you a bit of money and has a higher quality control and assurance score, meaning it might be more reliable over time. It has a higher score for watching news, talk shows, and reality TV. Its bright room performance is slightly lower than the Hisense, and without Dolby Vision or HDR10+ support, your HDR movie experience may not be as rich. It also has fewer HDMI ports and a lower speaker power. Base your decision on what you watch the most and where you'll place your TV. If you're a gamer or a movie lover and can place the TV in a darker room, the Hisense U7K is a great choice. If you prioritize reliability, watch a lot of TV shows and news in bright rooms, and don't mind a slightly less advanced feature set, consider the Samsung Q60C. Give Feedback

The Hisense U7K (LCD) is very good for gaming, while the Samsung Q60C (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense U7K is better suited for gaming because it has a very good response time and good input lag, which means the display reacts quickly to inputs and minimizes delay between player actions and on-screen results. In contrast, the Samsung Q60C has poor response time and the best input lag, making it less ideal for gaming, as on-screen motion might blur and player inputs may not be as promptly reflected on the screen.

The Hisense U7K (LCD) is very good for news, talk, & other TV, while the Samsung Q60C (LCD) is only fair.
The Hisense U7K provides a very good upscaling of lower-resolution content which is beneficial for news and TV programs, and has very good scores for colors right out of the box, enhancing the experience with accurate colors immediately after setup. In contrast, the Samsung Q60C, while still offering good performance, falls short in these aspects, particularly in upscaling and initial color accuracy, leading to a fair viewing experience for similar content.

The Samsung Q60C (LCD) and Hisense U7K (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Hisense U7K has better motion processing capabilities, contributing to smoother playback during fast sports scenes, but it suffers from more narrow viewing angles, affecting group watching experiences. Conversely, the Samsung Q60C displays weaker motion processing, leading to potential blurriness in action-packed sports, yet handles reflections better, which is advantageous in brightly lit rooms.
