The Hisense U6K offers a better overall picture quality and performs well in dark rooms, which might be ideal if you enjoy movies and gaming in darker environments. It features a miniLED backlight, which typically provides better contrast and blacks. In contrast, while the Samsung Q60C is generally more expensive, it is not as well suited for dark room viewing due to its lower contrast and lack of local dimming. However, it does have a slightly higher score for bright room performance, which may be beneficial if you primarily watch TV in well-lit spaces. Choose the Hisense U6K for better dark room performance and value, or the Samsung Q60C if you prioritize bright room use despite the higher cost. Give Feedback

The Hisense U6K (LCD) is very good for cartoons & animation, while the Samsung Q60C (LCD) is good.
The Hisense U6K is highly rated for colors out of the box and has a better color gamut, which means that the TV displays more accurate and vivid colors immediately without the need for adjustment, making it ideal for animated content where bright and varied colors are important. While the Samsung Q60C is also good at displaying colors out of the box and has a satisfactory color gamut, it doesn't perform as well as the Hisense U6K in this aspect, which might affect the vibrancy of animation viewing.

The Hisense U6K (LCD) is good for news, talk, & other TV, while the Samsung Q60C (LCD) is only fair.
The Hisense U6K performs well when watching news and other TV programs due to its strong upscaling abilities, color accuracy out of the box, and superior contrast, enhancing the clarity and depth of the image; whereas, the Samsung Q60C shows a fair performance in these segments with less effective local dimming and a lower contrast which may result in flatter images. Both TVs provide good SDR brightness, ensuring that the picture is sufficiently bright for most rooms, but the Hisense U6K's higher contrast and color gamut deliver better picture quality overall.

The Samsung Q60C (LCD) and Hisense U6K (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
When watching sports on the Hisense U6K and the Samsung Q60C, both offer fair motion processing with the Hisense having an edge, but the Samsung exhibits less blur with faster response time, which is very important. The Hisense struggles with reflections and has a narrower viewing angle compared to the Samsung, impacting its suitability for bright rooms and wide seating arrangements; nonetheless, both TVs have fairly uniform screens, which is somewhat important for sports viewing.

The Hisense U6K (LCD) and Samsung Q60C (LCD) are both only fair for bright room.
The Hisense U6K and Samsung Q60C are both fair for watching TV in a bright room because they have good SDR brightness, helping them overcome ambient light, but their capabilities to handle reflections are just fair, meaning they may struggle with direct light sources. While both have fair HDR brightness, which is acceptable for some contrast in brighter scenes, the lower reflection handling means watching in very bright rooms could still present challenges.
