Hisense U6K (LCD) vs Hisense UX (LCD)

The Hisense U6K is good for watching movies and cinematic TV due to having satisfactory contrast, local dimming, and black uniformity for enhanced dark scenes, while the Hisense UX is considered very good in the same content because it offers superior contrast, more effective local dimming that deepens blacks, and better black uniformity, alongside more vibrant out-of-the-box colors and a wider color volume which help to make images pop. However, both TVs have limited viewing angles and only fair gray uniformity, which can affect the picture quality when viewed from the side or during scenes with uniform colors.

The Hisense U6K and Hisense UX both have limitations in response time and motion processing, which are very important for sports viewing, resulting in only a fair experience when watching fast-paced games. Furthermore, both TVs face challenges with reflections and have only moderate viewing angles, making them less ideal for viewing in bright rooms or from the side, although their handling of gray uniformity is somewhat better, which is less crucial for sports.

The Hisense UX is better for gaming than the Hisense U6K primarily because it has a very good response time and a higher refresh rate, which means it can quickly display fast-moving images more smoothly and with less motion blur. On the other hand, the Hisense U6K has a fair response time and only a standard refresh rate, leading to slower transitions and potentially more blur during fast-paced games.

The Hisense U6K is rated very good for cartoons and animation due to its commendable color performance straight out of the box and a very good color gamut, which ensures a wide range of colors. On the other hand, the Hisense UX exceeds this with a similarly impressive out-of-the-box color accuracy and the best possible color volume, which enables it to display a larger spectrum of colors, thus making it excellent for animated content.

The Hisense UX has superior upscaling and SDR brightness compared to the Hisense U6K, which contributes greatly to its very good performance for watching news and talk shows. Additionally, the Hisense UX offers better colors out of the box and a higher color gamut, enhancing the overall viewing experience for these types of content.

The Hisense U6K is considered fair for bright room television viewing due to its good SDR brightness and fair score in both reflection handling and HDR brightness, making it suitable but not optimal under intense ambient light. In contrast, the Hisense UX achieves the best category for both SDR and HDR brightness, accompanied by very good reflection handling, ensuring a superior viewing experience in bright conditions with vibrant colors and crisper details. Contrast and color performance are important too, and while both TVs perform well, with the UX especially excelling in color volume for enriching the overall picture quality, its higher brightness levels and reflection handling clearly set it apart for bright room usage.
