The Hisense U6G is a more budget-friendly option and performs well for mixed usage, but it has limitations in brightness and contrast which may affect its performance in bright rooms or for HDR content. On the other hand, the Hisense U8K, while more expensive, offers a brighter display and better contrast, making it more suitable for brightly lit environments and providing a superior HDR experience. If you watch a lot of movies or play games in a well-lit room and want a TV that can offer vibrant picture quality, the U8K would be a better choice. However, if you're looking for good overall performance at a lower cost and your room isn't overly bright, the U6G should suffice. Give Feedback

On the other hand, the Hisense U8K, while also having fair response time, is rated 'very good' for gaming, thanks to its additional features such as a higher refresh rate which can provide smoother gameplay for fast-moving scenes.

The Hisense U8K (LCD) and Hisense U6G (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Hisense U6G has good response time for sports but may struggle with reflections in bright rooms, while the Hisense U8K offers very good reflection handling but only fair response time, which might cause some motion blur during fast sports scenes. Regarding the other important aspects, both have similar viewing angles which could limit the view for larger groups, and the U8K has slightly better gray uniformity which can provide a more even viewing experience during sports with uniform colors like a soccer field.

The Hisense U8K (LCD) and Hisense U6G (LCD) are both very good for news, talk, & other TV.
The Hisense U6G performs well for news and TV programs due to its excellent upscaling and SDR brightness, making content look good even at lower resolutions, and it also offers decent out-of-the-box colors and satisfactory contrast. The Hisense U8K also provides a good experience for these types of content by effectively upscaling lower-resolution shows and delivering high SDR brightness levels, additionally offering better colors straight out of the box, a wider color gamut, and more effective local dimming that enhances contrast.
