If you often watch movies in dark rooms, the Hisense U6G provides deeper blacks and better contrast for a more immersive experience at a lower cost. However, if you enjoy sports or gaming, you might prefer the Samsung Q70A despite its higher price, as it offers smoother motion handling and a faster refresh rate, which can make fast-paced content appear more fluid. For a sunny room, the Q70A also has better reflection handling, so it would be more suitable for daytime viewing. Both TVs have similar smart features, but the Q70A offers a bit more in terms of future-proof connectivity options. Give Feedback

The Hisense U6G (LCD) is good for movies & TV, while the Samsung Q70A (LCD) is only fair.
The Hisense U6G is noted for its strong contrast, local dimming, and excellent black uniformity, all qualities that enhance the movie and cinematic TV experience. By contrast, the Samsung Q70A, despite having better contrast, lacks local dimming which can lead to less precise blacks and thus a less favorable movie watching experience.

The Samsung Q70A (LCD) and Hisense U6G (LCD) are both only fair for sports, though the Samsung Q70A (LCD) is somewhat better.
The Hisense U6G has good motion processing and response time, which is valuable for watching fast-paced sports; however, its lesser handling of reflections and narrow viewing angles make it less suitable for well-lit rooms or large groups. Conversely, while the Samsung Q70A also offers very good response time and better reflection handling, which makes it more favourable in bright rooms, it falls short with similarly limited viewing angles and not as impressive gray uniformity, impacting the viewing experience during sports with large uniform fields like football or hockey.

The Samsung Q70A (LCD) is good for gaming, while the Hisense U6G (LCD) is only fair.
The Samsung Q70A outperforms the Hisense U6G in gaming because the Samsung has a higher response time and lower input lag, which are crucial for fast-paced gaming, providing smoother motion and quicker reaction times. While both TVs support high refresh rates, the better responsiveness of the Q70A gives it an edge for a more fluid gaming experience.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Hisense U6G (LCD) to be very good for news, talk, & other TV, while the Samsung Q70A (LCD) is good.
The Hisense U6G excels in upscaling, which is critical for watching news and talk shows that are not always broadcast in high definition, ensuring a crisp image even from lower-quality sources, and its very good SDR brightness helps maintain clarity even in rooms that aren't darkened. In contrast, the Samsung Q70A stands out with its local dimming feature and better color gamut, which means it offers a wider range of colors and enhanced contrast, making it a strong choice for colorful content and deeper black levels in various lighting conditions.
