The Hisense U7G generally costs less and offers better performance for gaming compared to the Samsung Q70A. It also provides superior reflection handling and is more suitable for bright rooms. The U7G is equipped with features catering to watching movies, series, and animations, and supports a wider range of HDR formats, including Dolby Vision which is favorable for streaming services that offer such content. On the other hand, the Samsung Q70A boasts a sleek design and better build quality. It also provides better performance for sports content and has slightly better overall picture quality. However, the Q70A does not support local dimming, which may affect deep black levels in dark viewing environments, and lacks Dolby Vision, limiting HDR content experience compared to the U7G. If you prioritize a lower price and gaming features, go for the Hisense U7G. If you prefer brand reputation, sports viewing, and potentially better customer support, consider the Samsung Q70A despite the higher cost. Both have good performance in bright settings, but the U7G has an edge for its superior reflection handling. Give Feedback

The Hisense U7G (LCD) is good for movies & TV, while the Samsung Q70A (LCD) is only fair.
The Hisense U7G is noted for its local dimming capability, enhancing contrast and black uniformity, making it suitable for movies and cinematic content, whereas the Samsung Q70A lacks local dimming which may affect the display's contrast and black uniformity, leading to a less ideal experience for the same content. While the Q70A may boast slightly better out-of-box color accuracy and viewing angles, its performance in crucial areas for cinema viewing, like contrast and dark room performance, falls behind the U7G.

The Samsung Q70A (LCD) and Hisense U7G (LCD) are both only fair for sports, though the Samsung Q70A (LCD) is somewhat better.
The Hisense U7G has fair motion handling suitable for sports but suffers from narrow viewing angles and only fair reflection handling, which can be problematic in bright rooms. The Samsung Q70A, while offering very good response time and the best reflections handling to minimize glare in sunny environments, also presents limited viewing angles that may affect group sports watching experiences.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Hisense U7G (LCD) to be very good for gaming, while the Samsung Q70A (LCD) is good.
The Hisense U7G is considered very good for gaming because it has good response time and input lag, which are important for a smooth gaming experience without delay.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Samsung Q70A (LCD) to be very good for cartoons & animation, while the Hisense U7G (LCD) is good.
The Samsung Q70A stands out for cartoon and animation viewing owing to its "Very Good" performance in presenting colors directly out of the box and a strong color gamut, which are essential for vibrant, varied hues. In contrast, the Hisense U7G is rated as "Fair" for out-of-the-box colors, indicating that while its color gamut is also strong, the initial color accuracy and vividness may not be as impressive as the Samsung's.

The Hisense U7G is deemed very good for watching news and TV programs due to its strong upscaling capability and suitable SDR brightness, which helps content look clear and vivid.

The Hisense U7G (LCD) and Samsung Q70A (LCD) are both good for bright room.
The Hisense U7G offers better reflection handling, making it more suitable for bright rooms, while the Samsung Q70A, although it also has high SDR and HDR brightness, doesn't manage reflections as well, which may reduce viewing quality in well-lit environments. Both TVs have good contrast, color volume, and color gamut, which contribute to vivid and accurate images, but their performance with reflections and brightness is crucial for bright room conditions.
