The Hisense U6H is typically much less expensive than the Samsung Q80C. If budget is a primary concern, the Hisense U6H would be more cost-effective. It also performs slightly better for watching movies, news, and cartoons due to a higher contrast and better uniformity, making it good for these types of content in both bright and dark rooms. However, the Samsung Q80C excels in gaming with quicker response time and lower input lag, and has a higher brightness overall, which can be advantageous in very bright rooms. Additionally, the Samsung model supports better motion processing, which may be preferred for watching sports. If you're willing to pay more for an enhanced gaming experience and watch a lot of fast-action content, the Samsung Q80C might be the better choice. Give Feedback

The Hisense U6H (LCD) is good for movies & TV, while the Samsung Q80C (LCD) is only fair.
The Hisense U6H offers a higher contrast and better black uniformity which is ideal for watching movies and creating deep black scenes, compared to the Samsung Q80C which has lower contrast and significantly lesser black uniformity, affecting its ability to display true black levels in cinematic content. However, the Samsung Q80C has better viewing angles, which may be advantageous if you frequently watch with a large group spread out across the room.

The Samsung Q80C (LCD) and Hisense U6H (LCD) are both only fair for sports, though the Samsung Q80C (LCD) is somewhat better.
The Hisense U6H has poor response time which might cause motion blur during fast sports scenes, while its fair reflection handling is adequate for moderately-lit rooms but could be problematic in very bright environments. The Samsung Q80C offers good response time with less motion blur but also has poor reflection handling, making it less suitable for bright rooms, and its wider viewing angles make it preferable if you regularly watch sports with a larger group. Both TVs have fair motion processing and gray uniformity, which are decent for watching sports but not the best available.

The Samsung Q80C (LCD) is very good for gaming, while the Hisense U6H (LCD) is only fair.
The Hisense U6H has a fair response time and very good input lag for gaming, which might lead to some motion blur but still provides responsive gameplay, particularly suitable for casual gaming. However, the Samsung Q80C offers both good response time and the best input lag, resulting in smoother motion and more responsive control that's well-suited for more competitive gaming environments.

The Hisense U6H (LCD) is very good for news, talk, & other TV, while the Samsung Q80C (LCD) is good.
The Hisense U6H excels in upscaling lower-resolution content and delivering colors out of the box, making it very good for watching standard definition news, talk shows, and TV programs. The Samsung Q80C offers good performance in these areas too, but it stands out with its strong SDR brightness, ensuring clear visibility in various lighting conditions, although it may not be as strong as the Hisense U6H in upscaling and immediate color accuracy.

The Samsung Q80C (LCD) and Hisense U6H (LCD) are both good for bright room.
The Hisense U6H handles bright rooms well thanks to its good SDR and HDR brightness and fair reflection handling, whereas the Samsung Q80C is even better in bright rooms with very good SDR and HDR brightness, although its reflection handling is rated lower. Both TVs offer good contrast and color performance, with the Samsung having a slight edge in color volume and gamut, but in bright environments, overall screen brightness and minimizing reflections are more significant factors.

Tom's guide
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. (...)"
