If you prioritize high-quality images for movies and HDR content, the Hisense U8G is a stronger performer due to its better brightness and contrast. It's also the better choice for gaming, as it includes a higher refresh rate and advanced gaming features. However, the U6G offers respectable performance suitable for a variety of content and is easier on the wallet. While suitable for most viewing environments, the U6G may not perform as well as the U8G in very bright rooms or for viewers seeking the best HDR experience. The decision hinges on whether the improved performance is worth the higher cost for you. Give Feedback

The Hisense U8G (LCD) and Hisense U6G (LCD) are both very good for cartoons & animation, though the Hisense U8G (LCD) is somewhat better.
The Hisense U8G stands out for watching cartoons & animation due to its excellent out-of-the-box colors, which means less tweaking for vibrant, accurate hues, and its very good color gamut that contributes to a wide range of colors. Compared to the U6G, which has fair out-of-the-box colors and very good color gamut, the U8G will display a more diverse and intense color palette, bringing animated content to life more vividly.

The Hisense U8G (LCD) and Hisense U6G (LCD) are both very good for news, talk, & other TV, though the Hisense U8G (LCD) is somewhat better.
Both the Hisense U6G and the Hisense U8G are exceptional for watching news and TV programs because they excel in upscaling and provide very good SDR brightness, essential for clear images in those types of content. While both models boast good colors out of the box and a wide color gamut enhancing the viewing experience, the U8G edges out with better local dimming and contrast, which may justify its higher price if these aspects are significant for you.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Hisense U8G (LCD) to be very good for movies & TV, while the Hisense U6G (LCD) is good.
The Hisense U8G surpasses the U6G in terms of contrast, local dimming, and black uniformity, which are crucial for a superior movie-watching experience, leading to deeper blacks and better dark scene performance. However, while the U6G shows good color accuracy out of the box, the U8G excels, displaying more vibrant colors across a wider volume, although both have limited viewing angles which might affect off-center watching.

The Hisense U8G (LCD) and Hisense U6G (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Hisense U6G has a slower response time and no motion processing technology, which can lead to some blur during fast sports scenes, and because of its fair reflection handling and narrow viewing angles, it may not be the best for well-lit rooms or large groups. In comparison, the Hisense U8G, while also challenged by fair reflection handling and narrow viewing angles, offers better motion processing which somewhat improves clarity during fast-paced games, but its fair gray uniformity can affect the viewing experience on large playing fields with uniform colors.
