The Hisense U6K is available at a lower midrange price and is often significantly less expensive than the Hisense U8H. If price is a major consideration for you, the U6K will provide overall good picture quality, perform well for gaming, and is adequate for viewing in both dark and bright rooms. It’s also quite suitable for movies, news, and cartoons. On the other hand, the Hisense U8H, while more expensive, offers superior overall picture quality, excellent gaming performance, and better suitability for both dark and bright rooms. It has a higher brightness in both standard and high dynamic range content, wider color gamut, and faster response times, which can enhance your movie and gaming experiences. Additionally, the U8H performs exceptionally well for sports content and animated material. If your budget allows and you seek a premium viewing experience, especially for gaming and in bright rooms, the U8H is a great choice. However, if you want to save money and still enjoy a quality TV experience, the U6K will not disappoint. Give Feedback

The Hisense U8H (LCD) is very good for movies & TV, while the Hisense U6K (LCD) is good.
The Hisense U8H excels in watching movies and cinematic TV due to its superior contrast, local dimming, and black uniformity, which enhance the depth and detail in darker scenes, and a stronger color volume which makes for more vivid and realistic colors. In contrast, while the Hisense U6K performs well considering its price point, with good colors out of the box and adequate gray uniformity for an LCD TV, its performance in key areas like contrast, local dimming, and black uniformity is outclassed by the U8H, leading to a less immersive viewing experience especially in dark scenes.

The Hisense U8H (LCD) is excellent for cartoons & animation, while the Hisense U6K (LCD) is very good.
The Hisense U8H outperforms the Hisense U6K in displaying cartoons and animation due to its excellent color reproduction straight out of the box and a color gamut that ensures vivid and accurate colors, important factors for animated content. Even though the Hisense U6K is also very good for colors out of the box, it doesn't match the U8H's ability to showcase a wider range of colors, making the U8H a superior choice for animation enthusiasts looking for richer color detail.

The Hisense U8H (LCD) is very good for news, talk, & other TV, while the Hisense U6K (LCD) is good.
The Hisense U8H excels in SDR brightness and has better upscaling and contrast, which contribute to clearer images and more vibrant colors when watching news or talk shows. While the Hisense U6K also performs well in these areas, its lower SDR brightness and upscaling capabilities mean that it may not display content as sharply or as brightly as the U8H, especially in well-lit environments.

The Hisense U8H (LCD) and Hisense U6K (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Hisense U6K is considered fair for watching sports partly because it has trouble with motion processing and not excellent reflections handling; the Hisense U8H, despite having a better response to reflections, shares similar motion handling limitations and neither excel in having wide viewing angles nor in their gray uniformity, which is somewhat important for sports watching.

"Hisense is over here making the best TVs for the majority of average families. U8H is a juiced-up utility knife of a television that manages to do a lot of things pretty well. The brightness this TV is capable of pushing out means I can see everything going on in any video game I’m playing regardless of what time of day it is"
