If you're on a budget, the Samsung Q60A offers good picture quality, especially in bright rooms, and is effective for news and animations. However, if you're a gamer or frequently watch movies, the Hisense U8H provides very good gaming features and excellent movie quality. The Hisense also excels in bright environments and offers superior contrast and HDR capabilities. It costs more, but it's a better choice for diverse, high-quality viewing experiences, though keep in mind it has a narrower viewing angle, making it less ideal for wide seating arrangements. Both have good sound, but neither offers great built-in speakers. Give Feedback

Jaron Schneider | January 2023
"Hisense is over here making the best TVs for the majority of average families. U8H is a juiced-up utility knife of a television that manages to do a lot of things pretty well. The brightness this TV is capable of pushing out means I can see everything going on in any video game I’m playing regardless of what time of day it is"

"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"
