The Hisense A6H struggles in bright rooms due to its poor SDR and HDR brightness, which makes the picture appear dim, combined with only fair performance in handling reflections.

The Samsung CU8000 (LCD) and Hisense A6H (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Hisense A6H is better for sports in bright rooms due to its better handling of reflections and wider viewing angles, which is beneficial when watching with a group. However, the Samsung CU8000 has a faster response time, which is crucial for clear motion in fast-paced games, but it doesn't handle reflections as well and has narrower viewing angles, which can be a disadvantage in group settings.

The Hisense A6H (LCD) and Samsung CU8000 (LCD) are both poor for gaming.
The Hisense A6H and Samsung CU8000 are both considered poor for gaming as they have low response time, indicating a slow transition between colors, which can cause motion blur during fast-paced games. Additionally, despite having good input lag performance, meaning less delay between an input and the display's reaction, both TVs have a 60Hz refresh rate, limiting the smoothness of gameplay, especially in high-frame-rate games.

The Samsung CU8000 (LCD) and Hisense A6H (LCD) are both poor for cartoons & animation.
The Hisense A6H has subpar color performance right out of the box and a poor color gamut, which can make cartoons and animations look less vibrant and true to life. In comparison, the Samsung CU8000 offers fair colors out of the box and a good color gamut, but its overall performance in depicting cartoons and animations is hampered by its fair color volume and gray uniformity, affecting the consistency and richness of colors on screen.
