If you are looking for a TV that is kinder on the wallet, the Hisense U6H may be more attractive because it is typically less expensive. It offers better overall picture quality and performance in dark rooms. This makes it a good choice for movies and series, as well as gaming, with a particularly low input lag.
On the other hand, the Samsung Q60B, while typically more expensive, has slightly better bright room performance, which could make it a better option if you often watch TV in well-lit environments. However, it has lower dark room performance, making it less ideal for movie-watchers who prefer a cinematic experience. The Q60B has a higher contrast ratio and better black uniformity, which can be beneficial for general viewing.
Both TVs offer similar sound quality, and neither has stand-out speakers. The Hisense has an additional HDMI port, making it potentially more convenient if you have multiple devices to connect. However, in terms of color out of the box and HDR support, both TVs are comparable, with both supporting basic HDR formats but not Dolby Vision.
Consider what you value more: a more budget-friendly choice with better dark room performance and gaming capabilities (Hisense U6H), or a higher contrast display with slightly better brightness for well-lit rooms (Samsung Q60B). Give Feedback

The Hisense U6H (LCD) is good for movies & TV, while the Samsung Q60B (LCD) is only fair.
The Hisense U6H offers better performance for movies and cinematic TV because it has local dimming technology, which improves contrast and black uniformity, leading to deeper blacks and a more immersive viewing experience. Conversely, the Samsung Q60B does not have local dimming, resulting in poorer black levels and contrast, though it does offer slightly better colors out of the box and color volume, yet these advantages are less impactful on overall picture quality compared to contrast and black uniformity for cinematic content.

The Hisense U6H offers better gaming performance due to its significantly lower input lag when compared to the Samsung Q60B, which is crucial for fast-paced games where timing is key. Moreover, while both TVs have similar refresh rates and poor response time, the lower input lag on the Hisense U6H makes it more suitable for gaming.

The Hisense U6H (LCD) is very good for news, talk, & other TV, while the Samsung Q60B (LCD) is good.
The Hisense U6H excels at upscaling lower resolution content and has very adequate SDR brightness levels, which makes it highly suitable for watching news and TV programs. While the Samsung Q60B also offers good performance in these regards, its superior contrast, alongside good color accuracy out of the box, contributes to its capability to provide an enjoyable viewing experience for similar content.

The Samsung Q60B (LCD) and Hisense U6H (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Hisense U6H and Samsung Q60B both have a fair rating in reflection handling and relatively limited viewing angles, which means they might not be the best options for brightly lit rooms or wide seating arrangements. Additionally, while the Hisense U6H has a lower response time, meaning it's not as quick in displaying fast-moving content and may not be ideal for sports, the Samsung Q60B fairs slightly better but has some issues with motion processing which could also affect the clarity during fast-paced games.

The Samsung Q60B (LCD) and Hisense U6H (LCD) are both good for bright room.
The Hisense U6H is suitable for bright rooms as its SDR brightness is good, and it handles reflections well enough, although its HDR brightness is only fair which might limit its performance in very bright settings. On the other hand, the Samsung Q60B also offers very good SDR brightness for viewing in well-lit rooms and similarly handles reflections adequately, but like the Hisense, it has just fair HDR brightness, so its performance might be less optimal for HDR content in bright settings.

How the Hisense U6H (LCD) and the Samsung Q60B (LCD) compare to other TVs
"A budget TV that exceeds expectations. (...) For a TV that costs as little as this one does, its brightness and color are above-average (...) The U6H may not get quite as bright as its splashier siblings, but for its class, it fares pretty well. (...) As far as input lag, the U6H is an impressive performer. (...) Costing less than most of its direct competitors, and matching or bettering them in several key areas, it’s an irresistible value proposition. (...)"
"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."
