The Hisense U6G tends to be significantly less expensive and provides a great value for its price, particularly if cost is a major consideration. It offers good picture quality for movies and TV shows, especially in dark rooms. However, it has a lower refresh rate which might not be as suitable for fast-paced sports or gaming. The Samsung Q80B, on the other hand, is more expensive but has a higher refresh rate making it better for sports and gaming, and it often offers better performance in bright rooms. So if your priority is gaming or watching content in well-lit environments and you're willing to spend more, the Samsung Q80B may be a better fit for you. Give Feedback

Tom's guide
Matthew Murray | February 2023
"For most people its picture, sound, and price make it a midrange TV worth considering. HDR brightness was generally exceptional. Its viewing angles are shockingly good, among the very best we’ve seen recently from any non-OLED TV. For gamers input lag isn’t too shabby."
