If you are on a budget and are looking for a less expensive option, the Hisense A6H may suit your needs. However, it does not perform as well in dark or bright rooms, which could be a concern if you watch a lot of movies or have a lot of sunlight in your viewing area. On the other hand, if you're willing to invest more, the Hisense U8H offers significantly better performance in both dark and bright environments, which makes it a better choice for all-around viewing, especially for movies and gaming. Keep in mind the U8H is typically much more expensive. Give Feedback

The Hisense U8H (LCD) is very good for movies & TV, while the Hisense A6H (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense U8H provides a very good movie-watching experience due to its excellent contrast, effective local dimming, and strong black uniformity, which are critical for reproducing deep blacks and a wide range of shades in dimly lit scenes. In contrast, the Hisense A6H, despite having good colors out of the box, falls short with poor contrast, no local dimming, and subpar black uniformity, leading to a less immersive viewing experience, especially in darker movies and cinematic content.

The Hisense U8H (LCD) is very good for gaming, while the Hisense A6H (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense U8H is better for gaming largely due to its much faster response time and slightly lower input lag compared to the Hisense A6H, and its higher refresh rate at 120Hz enhances the smoothness of fast-moving gaming content, whereas the A6H only offers a 60Hz refresh rate which is less optimal for fast-paced games.

The Hisense U8H (LCD) is excellent for cartoons & animation, while the Hisense A6H (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense A6H offers poor performance for cartoons and animation primarily because of its limited color gamut, which is crucial for presenting the wide range of vivid colors typically used in animated content. In contrast, the Hisense U8H is excellent for cartoons and animation as it displays a wider color gamut and provides better colors right out of the box, ensuring that animations look vibrant and true to the creator's intent.

The Hisense U8H (LCD) is very good for news, talk, & other TV, while the Hisense A6H (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense A6H has lower SDR brightness and lacks local dimming which affects its ability to display news and other TV programs clearly, especially in well-lit environments, and it may not upscale lower resolution content as effectively. In contrast, the Hisense U8H delivers excellent SDR brightness, has effective local dimming to enhance contrast, and good upscaling quality, making it better suited for viewing these types of content even in bright rooms.

The Hisense U8H (LCD) is best in class 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 can result in a washed-out picture. On the other hand, the Hisense U8H excels under similar conditions with excellent SDR and HDR brightness as well as very good reflections handling, offering a clear and vibrant image even in well-lit environments.

The Hisense U8H (LCD) and Hisense A6H (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Hisense A6H has a lower response time and lacks motion processing capabilities, which may result in blur during fast sports scenes, and its good viewing angle partially compensates for these shortcomings, making it more suitable for viewing with groups. In contrast, the Hisense U8H, with its very good response time and some motion processing, offers smoother action for sports, but its poorer viewing angles mean that the picture quality could degrade when viewed from the side, although it handles reflections better. Both TVs have decent gray uniformity, which is less crucial for sports.

"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"
