If a lower price is a major factor and you do not require the latest features or top-tier brightness, the Hisense U6G may suit your needs. However, the Hisense U8H, while more expensive, offers improved performance in bright rooms and better picture quality for both movies and gaming due to its higher peak brightness and full array local dimming technology. The U8H also supports more advanced gaming features such as a higher refresh rate, which can be important if you play fast-paced games or use newer gaming consoles that can take advantage of these features.

The Hisense U8H (LCD) is very good for movies & TV, while the Hisense U6G (LCD) is good.
The Hisense U8H outperforms the Hisense U6G when watching movies and cinematic TV primarily due to its superior local dimming, which improves contrast and black uniformity, and it also showcases a higher color volume, enhancing the vividness and accuracy of colors on-screen. However, the Hisense U6G still provides good performance in these areas, with decent black uniformity and color reproduction, though it may not be as impressive in highly dark or colorful scenes as the U8H.

The Hisense U6G has a good response time and the best input lag, making it suitable for gaming, but it's outperformed by the Hisense U8H which has a very good response time and good input lag, plus it supports a higher refresh rate that is essential for smoother gameplay and better performance in fast-paced games.

The Hisense U8H (LCD) is excellent for cartoons & animation, while the Hisense U6G (LCD) is very good.
The Hisense U8H outshines the U6G in displaying cartoons and animation primarily because of its excellent color gamut and higher color volume, which allow for more vibrant and varied colors on screen. Additionally, the U8H has better gray uniformity and higher SDR brightness, contributing to more consistent and brighter images, especially noticeable in colorful and bright animation scenes.

The Hisense U8H (LCD) and Hisense U6G (LCD) are both very good for news, talk, & other TV, though the Hisense U8H (LCD) is somewhat better.
The Hisense U6G provides very good upscaling of lower resolution content to its 4K display, and its solid SDR brightness ensures that the picture remains visible even in well-lit rooms. In comparison, the Hisense U8H not only delivers very good upscaling and excellent SDR brightness for clearer daytime viewing but also outperforms the U6G with richer colors straight out of the box and a wider color gamut for more vivid and varied hues, along with better local dimming and contrast which enhance the viewing experience, especially in darker scenes.

The Hisense U8H (LCD) is best in class for bright room, while the Hisense U6G (LCD) is good.
The Hisense U8H boasts higher brightness levels in both SDR and HDR, making it superior in combating glare in bright rooms compared to Hisense U6G, and its improved reflection handling means it's better at minimizing the impact of reflected light sources. While both TVs offer good color performance, the Hisense U8H's higher color volume and gamut ensure a more vibrant and varied color display, making it the best choice for bright room viewing.

The Hisense U8H (LCD) and Hisense U6G (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Hisense U6G has a weaker response time and less effective motion processing than the Hisense U8H, making fast movements in sports appear less clear, while the U8H, despite having a superior response time and better motion processing, still has some limitations in reflections handling and viewing angles which could affect visibility during sports viewing. Both TVs are challenged by wide viewing angles which can impact group sports watching, and while the U6G struggles more with reflections, the U8H handles them better but also comes at a higher price point.

"Hisense is over here making the best TVs for the majority of average families. U8H is a juiced-up utility knife of a television that manages to do a lot of things pretty well. The brightness this TV is capable of pushing out means I can see everything going on in any video game I’m playing regardless of what time of day it is"
