The Hisense U6K typically comes at a lower midrange price, and it's often less expensive than the Samsung Q70A. The Hisense model offers better performance in dark rooms and has a good picture quality overall, but the viewing angle and gaming performance are limited. The Samsung Q70A, while more expensive, has superior gaming performance and a wider viewing angle, making it a better choice for varied seating arrangements and fast-paced gaming. Neither TV performs exceptionally well in very bright rooms. If budget is a concern and you primarily watch movies or series in darker environments, the Hisense U6K may suffice. However, for a more versatile usage, including gaming and better viewing angles, the Samsung Q70A would be the preferable option despite its higher cost. Give Feedback

The Hisense U6K (LCD) is good for movies & TV, while the Samsung Q70A (LCD) is only fair.
The Hisense U6K excels in contrast and color performance, offering a rich and deep picture for movies and cinematic TV with effective local dimming that enhances the quality of dark scenes. However, the Samsung Q70A surpasses it with superior black uniformity, which contributes to more consistent dark scenes across the screen but lacks the local dimming feature which might make blacks look less deep in a dark room.

The Samsung Q70A (LCD) and Hisense U6K (LCD) are both only fair for sports, though the Samsung Q70A (LCD) is somewhat better.
The Hisense U6K handles reflections better, which is useful in a bright room, but its response time is only fair, leading to some motion blur during fast sports scenes. The Samsung Q70A has very good response time for clearer motion in sports, but suffers from poor reflection handling, making it less ideal for well-lit environments.

The Hisense U6K displays cartoons and animations well due to its accurate colors out of the box and a very good color gamut, ensuring vibrant and consistent colors for animated content. On the other hand, the Samsung Q70A excels in the same content with even better colors out of the box and a color gamut that is on par, making it an excellent choice for rich and life-like animations.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Samsung Q70A (LCD) to be good for bright room, while the Hisense U6K (LCD) is only fair.
The Samsung Q70A is better suited for bright rooms due to its very good SDR brightness and excellent reflection handling, allowing it to overpower ambient light and reduce glare. In contrast, the Hisense U6K has only good SDR brightness and fair reflection handling, thus it won't be as effective as the Samsung in very well-lit environments.
