If you're looking for a more affordable option, the Hisense U6G tends to be significantly less expensive than the Samsung Q60B, and it offers a better dark room performance, which is ideal for watching movies. However, the Samsung Q60B performs better with sports and video games, offering smoother motion and better handling of fast-moving content. The Hisense U6G may not be as well-suited for bright rooms due to its lower brightness compared to the Samsung Q60B, which may be more capable of overcoming glare in well-lit environments. In terms of longevity and future readiness, it is also worth considering that the Samsung model is a year newer than the Hisense. Give Feedback

The Hisense U6G (LCD) is good for movies & TV, while the Samsung Q60B (LCD) is only fair.
The Hisense U6G is good for watching movies and cinematic TV thanks to its effective local dimming, which enhances contrast and black uniformity, essential for dark scenes. The Samsung Q60B, while offering excellent color out of the box, lacks local dimming, which can lessen the depth of blacks, making it only fair for these types of content.

The Hisense U6G (LCD) is only fair for gaming, while the Samsung Q60B (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense U6G offers better performance for gaming because it is rated higher for response time, which is crucial for reducing motion blur during fast-paced games, while the Samsung Q60B's response time is slower, leading to poor gaming performance, despite both having the top rating for input lag which affects how quickly the screen reacts to commands. Additionally, while both TVs have a 60Hz refresh rate, the better response time of the Hisense U6G means it will provide a smoother gaming experience.
The Hisense U6G (LCD) and Samsung Q60B (LCD) both have good picture quality.

The Samsung Q60B (LCD) and Hisense U6G (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Hisense U6G offers better motion processing which is important for sports, helping to reduce blur during fast action, but it has a narrower viewing angle which could limit the clarity of the image from the sides. In contrast, the Samsung Q60B suffers from slower response time leading to more motion blur, yet it handles reflections slightly better, making it more suitable for bright rooms despite its viewing angle being similarly limited.

The Hisense U6G displays cartoons and animations well due to its fair colors out of the box and good color gamut and volume, while the Samsung Q60B excels in these areas with excellent color accuracy out of the box and similarly good color gamut and volume. Both TVs ensure vibrant and consistent colors that are crucial for animated content, though the Q60B may provide a slightly more accurate picture immediately after set-up.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Hisense U6G (LCD) to be very good for news, talk, & other TV, while the Samsung Q60B (LCD) is good.
The Hisense U6G excels in upscaling lower-resolution content and handles reflections slightly better, which is crucial for watching news or talk shows in various settings including those with some ambient light. Conversely, the Samsung Q60B offers better colors right out of the box, which may enhance the viewing experience in color-rich programs although its local dimming feature is not present, potentially affecting contrast in darker scenes.

The Hisense U6G has a very good SDR brightness and reflection handling, with an adequate HDR brightness, making it a strong performer in bright rooms. In comparison, the Samsung Q60B offers very good SDR brightness as well, but its lack of local dimming and only fair HDR brightness might make it less suitable for very bright or sunlit environments.

How the Hisense U6G (LCD) and the Samsung Q60B (LCD) compare to other TVs
"Samsung's 2022 QLED workhorse shines in bright rooms and with HDR. The Samsung Q60B stands out from the slew of entry-level TVs with an ultra-thin frame, a skinny profile from the side and even narrow stand legs. The Q60B is a very good bright-room TV, and my subjective impression of its ample light output was proven by measurements."
