Choosing between the Hisense A6H and the Samsung Q80B depends on your priorities. For a budget-friendly option, the Hisense A6H offers decent performance for gaming and watching cartoons or animation. However, it may not be ideal for very bright rooms or for watching in the dark due to its lower bright and dark room performance. On the other hand, the Samsung Q80B, while more expensive, offers significantly better overall picture quality and is particularly superior for gaming, sports content, and news. It also performs much better in bright rooms and has better sound quality with great speakers included. If you are interested in a more immersive experience and can afford the higher price, the Samsung Q80B may be a better option. Give Feedback

The Samsung Q80B (LCD) is only fair for movies & TV, while the Hisense A6H (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense A6H struggles with movies and cinematic TV due to its lack of local dimming, resulting in poorer contrast and black uniformity, making dark scenes look washed out. The Samsung Q80B fares better with a decent local dimming feature and higher contrast, providing a more immersive experience although its black uniformity could still be improved for perfect dark-room viewing.

The Samsung Q80B (LCD) and Hisense A6H (LCD) are both only fair for sports, though the Samsung Q80B (LCD) is somewhat better.
The Hisense A6H and Samsung Q80B are both fair for watching sports due to their adequate handling of reflections and viewing angles; however, the Hisense has a slower response time which might not be as smooth for fast-moving sports scenes compared to the Samsung, which has a very good response time, offering a clearer image during quick action. Also, while gray uniformity is somewhat important and both TVs show decent performance, with the Samsung marginally better, it is the motion processing difference and response time that make a more significant impact on the sports viewing experience on these TVs.

The Samsung Q80B (LCD) is very good for gaming, while the Hisense A6H (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense A6H has a poor response time which can lead to motion blur during fast-moving scenes, while the Samsung Q80B has a very good response time, offering a clearer picture in dynamic games. Additionally, the Hisense A6H has the best input lag which is ideal for gaming responsiveness, but the Samsung Q80B also matches this performance with its own best input lag, combined with a higher refresh rate for smoother gameplay.

The Samsung Q80B (LCD) is good for cartoons & animation, while the Hisense A6H (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense A6H displays colors poorly out of the box and has a limited color gamut, which can make cartoons and animations look less vibrant and true to their intended appearance, whereas the Samsung Q80B is good in both aspects, providing rich and accurate colors essential for animated content. Additionally, other factors like color volume and gray uniformity are only fair for the Hisense A6H and are good for the Samsung Q80B, affecting the overall quality of colorful and dynamic scenes typically found in animation.

The Samsung Q80B (LCD) is good for news, talk, & other TV, while the Hisense A6H (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense A6H, while offering very good upscaling, falls short in several aspects critical for watching news and TV programs, such as SDR brightness where it is rated poorly, and it lacks local dimming which can affect contrast and picture quality. In contrast, the Samsung Q80B shows its strength with very good SDR brightness, contributing to a clearer image in diverse lighting conditions, and better overall performance in color reproduction and local dimming, which enhance picture quality right out of the box.

The Samsung Q80B (LCD) is good for bright room, while the Hisense A6H (LCD) is poor.
The Samsung Q80B (LCD) outshines the Hisense A6H (LCD) in a bright room due to its higher SDR and HDR brightness, which means it can produce a brighter image that stands out better in well-lit conditions. Additionally, the Samsung Q80B comes with better reflection handling, ensuring that its screen reduces the impact of ambient light more effectively than the Hisense A6H.

Tom's guide
Matthew Murray | February 2023
"For most people its picture, sound, and price make it a midrange TV worth considering. HDR brightness was generally exceptional. Its viewing angles are shockingly good, among the very best we’ve seen recently from any non-OLED TV. For gamers input lag isn’t too shabby."
