If you're looking for a more budget-friendly option, the Hisense A6H could be a good choice. However, it falls short in picture quality, particularly in dark rooms. Although it is suitable for general viewing, like news or cartoons, it won't perform as well in a sunny room. On the other hand, the Samsung Q80C, while more expensive, offers a significantly better experience, especially for gaming and sports. It handles both dark and bright room settings better. The better sound quality and additional features may also enhance your viewing experience, particularly for movies and sports. Choose the Hisense A6H if you wish to save money and your viewing conditions are not demanding. Opt for the Samsung Q80C if you want higher performance and are comfortable with the higher price.

The Samsung Q80C (LCD) is good for cartoons & animation, while the Hisense A6H (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense A6H, despite having very good colors out of the box, falls short with a poor color gamut and fair color volume, which may not suit the vibrant and varied hues often present in cartoons and animation.

The Samsung Q80C (LCD) is good for news, talk, & other TV, while the Hisense A6H (LCD) is poor.
The Samsung Q80C outperforms the Hisense A6H for watching news, talk shows, and TV programs primarily because it has much better upscaling to make lower resolution content appear clearer and significantly higher SDR brightness, making it ideal for viewing in various lighting conditions; whereas the A6H's upscaling is subpar and its SDR brightness is inadequate for well-lit rooms. Additionally, the Q80C has better colors out of the box, wider color gamut, more effective local dimming, and higher contrast which contribute further to a more vibrant and detailed picture compared to the A6H.

Additionally, while the Hisense A6H has fair reflection handling, the Samsung Q80C is rated poorly, indicating it struggles more with reflections, which can be distracting in a sunny room.
