The Samsung QN85B (LCD) is good for sports, while the Hisense U6H (LCD) is only fair.
The Samsung QN85B outperforms the Hisense U6H in sports viewing primarily because it has better response time and motion processing, which makes fast-moving action appear smoother. Additionally, the Samsung handles reflections better and offers wider viewing angles, ensuring that the picture remains clear when viewed from different positions in a room. The Hisense U6H falls short in these aspects with slower response times and motion processing not rated, limiting its performance during dynamic sports content. Although both TVs have similar gray uniformity, which can affect the appearance of the playing field, the superior motion handling and viewing experience of the Samsung QN85B make it a better choice for sports enthusiasts.

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. (...)"

What Hi-Fi?
John Archer | February 2023
"Particularly key to this is the fact that black levels are unusually good, on a level we haven’t seen from any IPS TV before. Build quality is impressive too, with a gleaming silver metallic frame and stand, and enough heft to suggest plenty of quality innards. High dynamic range content jumps off the screen with enough luminosity and intensity to really sell what makes HDR special."
