The Hisense U7H is the pricier option but offers a significantly better viewing experience in both dark and bright rooms compared to the Hisense A6H. It's also a superior choice for gaming thanks to its higher refresh rate and better response time. However, for watching news, talk shows, reality TV, cartoons, and animation, the A6H is competent and is a more budget-friendly option. The U7H also has advanced features like local dimming which improves contrast, and better color performance, but expect to pay more for these enhancements. If budget is a concern and your content preference doesn't demand the high-end features, the A6H might suffice. Otherwise, for a more immersive experience especially in gaming, movies, and HDR content, the U7H is a better choice. Give Feedback

The Hisense U7H (LCD) is good for cartoons & animation, while the Hisense A6H (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense A6H is poor for watching cartoons and animation due to its limited color gamut and colors out of the box, which affect the vividness and accuracy of the animations. On the other hand, the Hisense U7H performs well with a good color gamut and decent colors out of the box, providing a richer and more true-to-life color experience for animated content.

The Hisense U7H (LCD) is very good for news, talk, & other TV, while the Hisense A6H (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense U7H provides a very good experience when watching news and TV programs mainly due to its significantly better contrast and effective local dimming, which enhances the visibility of details in varying scenes, alongside a strong SDR brightness that ensures clear images even in well-lit rooms. In contrast, the Hisense A6H underperforms in these areas with poor contrast and lacking local dimming capability, which can result in less vivid images and difficulties maintaining clarity under different lighting conditions.

The Hisense U7H (LCD) is good for bright room, while the Hisense A6H (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense A6H struggles in bright rooms due to its poor SDR and HDR brightness and fair reflections handling, which means it won't stand out against ambient light as effectively. In contrast, the Hisense U7H is suitable for well-lit environments thanks to its very good SDR brightness, good HDR brightness, and similarly fair reflections handling, allowing it to maintain a more visible picture even when the room is bright.
The Hisense A6H (LCD) and Hisense U7H (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Hisense A6H and U7H both have fair performance for sports watching largely due to their poor response times and motion processing, which are very important for smooth movement in fast-paced games. However, both models manage reflections adequately and have a fair viewing angle, but their gray uniformity, which helps present an even image during sports with large areas of similar color, such as fields, is only somewhat uniform.

How the Hisense A6H (LCD) and the Hisense U7H (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."
