The Hisense U6K is a more affordable option and offers good overall quality for the price. It is suitable for watching movies and animations, with decent performance in both dark and bright rooms. However, its gaming performance and response times are not as strong as the U8G, which might be a consideration if you're a gamer. The Hisense U8G, while more expensive, provides a significant upgrade particularly for gaming with its higher response speed, and it performs better in bright rooms. This model also has superior speakers and supports Dolby Atmos for an enhanced audio experience. Choose the U6K if you are looking for value and a good all-around TV, but are not necessarily focused on gaming. If you are willing to invest more for top-notch gaming performance and better brightness in sunny environments, the U8G would be a more suitable choice. Give Feedback

The Hisense U8G (LCD) is very good for movies & TV, while the Hisense U6K (LCD) is good.
The Hisense U8G is better for movies and cinematic TV due its higher contrast, better local dimming, and superior black uniformity compared to the U6K, which results in deeper blacks and more defined shadows essential for dark scene details. While both TVs offer good color performance and viewing angles, the U8G's excellence in the most critical aspects for watching movies, such as contrast and black uniformity, give it the edge in creating a more immersive experience.

The Hisense U8G (LCD) and Hisense U6K (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Hisense U6K has decent reflection handling but falls short in motion processing which is crucial for sports, whereas the Hisense U8G offers better motion processing and reflection handling, though both have narrow viewing angles. Both sets struggle with gray uniformity, which is somewhat important for sports content, making neither ideal for serious sports enthusiasts.
