The Hisense U6H is a budget-friendly choice and performs well for movies and series, offering good dark and bright room performance. It's better for tighter budgets but may not be the best for sports due to a lower score in handling fast-moving content. Meanwhile, the Samsung Q80B is pricier and excels in gaming with a high performance in this area, and also offers slightly better performance in bright rooms. It's equipped with a better sound system and handles reflections well. If gaming is a priority and you don't mind spending more, the Samsung Q80B would be a good choice. However, it might not be the best for dark room viewing compared to the Hisense U6H. Give Feedback

The Samsung Q80B (LCD) and Hisense U6H (LCD) are both only fair for sports, though the Samsung Q80B (LCD) is somewhat better.
The Samsung Q80B offers better response time for sports, making it more suitable for fast-paced action, while the Hisense U6H has less impressive response time which may result in some motion blur. However, both TVs are challenged by reflections in bright rooms and have limited viewing angles, and while not crucial, gray uniformity is somewhat of a concern, with neither standing out for sports watching.

The Samsung Q80B (LCD) is very good for gaming, while the Hisense U6H (LCD) is only fair.

The Hisense U6H (LCD) is very good for cartoons & animation, while the Samsung Q80B (LCD) is good.
The Hisense U6H is considered very good for watching cartoons and animation primarily due to its excellent performance in colors out of the box, ensuring vibrant and accurate color reproduction immediately upon use. Although the Samsung Q80B is good in this regard as well, it does not match the Hisense's out-of-the-box color accuracy, and despite both TVs having good color gamut and volume, those factors are less significant than the immediate color fidelity provided by the Hisense for animation viewing.

The Samsung Q80B (LCD) and Hisense U6H (LCD) are both good for bright room.
The Hisense U6H boasts a high contrast ratio which means it delivers deeper blacks, complemented by good SDR brightness to handle a bright room, though its ability to handle reflections is only average. Meanwhile, the Samsung Q80B has a very good SDR and HDR brightness, which is better for cutting through glare, and has fair performance in managing reflections, but its contrast ratio is lower, which could mean slightly less deep blacks.

Matthew Murray | March 2023
"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. (...)"

"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."
