If your budget is tight and you prefer saving money, the Hisense R6G would be a more cost-effective choice, although it has limitations in bright rooms and isn't ideal for gaming due to its poor gaming score. The Samsung CU8000, while a bit more expensive, offers slightly better performance for sports content and has slightly better upscaling, which can enhance lower-resolution content. Neither TV excels in bright environments or with gaming, so if those are key factors for you, you might want to consider other options. If using the TV as a monitor is important to you, the Samsung has the advantage with its support for this feature. Both TVs will struggle with picture quality, especially in well-lit rooms, and neither one stands out for overall picture quality. Give Feedback
