If gaming is a priority, the Hisense U7G has a better gaming score and supports a higher refresh rate which is better for fast-paced content. However, the Samsung Q60C has a higher reliability score and might be the better choice if you are concerned about long term quality control. The Hisense U7G offers a better experience in bright rooms and has better movie performance if you often watch films. If you plan on placing the TV in a bright room, the U7G is also the better option. The Hisense U7G supports more advanced HDR formats like Dolby Vision, while the Samsung Q60C does not. If budget is a concern, the Hisense is often slightly less expensive, but always consider the specific features that are most important for your use case. Give Feedback

The Hisense U7G (LCD) is good for movies & TV, while the Samsung Q60C (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense U7G is good for movies because it has high contrast, effective local dimming, and strong black uniformity, delivering deeper blacks and better picture depth. In comparison, the Samsung Q60C is poor for cinematic content due to its lower contrast, weaker local dimming, and poor black uniformity, which can result in less impactful dark scenes and a flatter overall image.

The Hisense U7G (LCD) is very good for gaming, while the Samsung Q60C (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense U7G is favored for gaming primarily due to its good response time and 120Hz refresh rate, which contribute to smoother motion and less blur during fast-paced games. In contrast, the Samsung Q60C, with a poor response time and a lower 60Hz refresh rate, may result in more motion blur and less fluid gameplay.

The Hisense U7G (LCD) is very good for news, talk, & other TV, while the Samsung Q60C (LCD) is only fair.
The Hisense U7G excels in watching news and TV programs because it has better upscaling, which is very important for low-resolution content, and superior SDR brightness, meaning it will be clearer in different lighting conditions. On the other hand, the Samsung Q60C, while displaying colors well out of the box, falls behind in upscaling and SDR brightness, making it less ideal under the same conditions.

The Hisense U7G (LCD) is good for bright room, while the Samsung Q60C (LCD) is only fair.
The Samsung Q60C (LCD) and Hisense U7G (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
For sports viewing, the Hisense U7G and the Samsung Q60C both have their limitations: the Hisense U7G offers good response time for fast-moving scenes but struggles with narrow viewing angles and reflections in bright rooms; although the Samsung Q60C manages reflections slightly better and features excellent input lag which is beneficial for gaming, it falls short with poor motion processing that could affect fast-paced sports clarity.

The Hisense U7G (LCD) and Samsung Q60C (LCD) are both good for cartoons & animation.
The Hisense U7G displays colors well right out of the box and offers a good color gamut, making it favorable for vivid and accurate representation in cartoons and animation. In comparison, the Samsung Q60C also showcases good out-of-the-box color accuracy and gamut, but might not present colors as vividly across different luminance levels due to its moderate color volume performance.
