If you're looking for a more budget-friendly option, the Hisense U6H could be a good choice for enjoying various types of content without spending too much, but keep in mind that it might not offer the same level of brightness and motion handling for fast-paced content, like sports, as the U8G does. On the other hand, the Hisense U8G offers a better picture quality and is able to deliver a more vibrant and smoother image, which is especially noticeable in well-lit rooms or when watching dynamic content like live sports or playing video games, but it comes at a higher cost compared to the U6H. If high performance in a bright room and enhanced motion clarity is important to you and you are willing to invest more, the U8G is the preferable choice. Give Feedback

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Hisense U8G (LCD) to be very good for movies & TV, while the Hisense U6H (LCD) is good.
The Hisense U8G has superior contrast and better quality local dimming which significantly enhance the movie-watching experience with deeper blacks and more detailed darker scenes, whereas the Hisense U6H, though good, falls short in comparison, notably in black uniformity which is crucial for viewing in darker environments. Additionally, while both TVs offer pleasing colors right out of the box and sufficient color volume, the U8G edges out with better gray uniformity and is less prone to angle-related color shifts, further solidifying its place for cinematic content.

The Hisense U8G (LCD) and Hisense U6H (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Hisense U6H has poor response time and lacks motion processing capabilities, affecting the clarity of fast-paced sports action, and it struggles with reflections, diminishing visibility in well-lit rooms. Meanwhile, the Hisense U8G has very good response time and better motion processing, providing clearer images during fast sports scenes, but a narrower viewing angle and only fair gray uniformity can affect the viewing experience from the side or if displaying a large uniform color area like a field.
