The Hisense U7H is often somewhat less expensive and falls in the lower midrange price category. It would be a better choice if you're looking for value and a decent overall performance. However, the Samsung Q60B, which is often somewhat more expensive and placed in the midrange price category, may offer quality that warrants the higher price, depending on the brand preference and specific features you desire. Both TVs are LCDs with similar sound offerings, including Dolby Atmos and DTS:X support. Consider the Hisense U7H for its value-for-money and the Samsung Q60B if you prefer brand reputation and possibly a more polished user experience. Give Feedback

The Hisense U7H (LCD) is good for movies & TV, while the Samsung Q60B (LCD) is only fair.
The Hisense U7H is favored for movies and cinematic content due to its local dimming feature, which enhances contrast and black uniformity, creating deeper blacks and adding depth to images. On the other hand, the Samsung Q60B, despite having better black uniformity, lacks local dimming, which can result in less impressive contrast and depth, especially noticeable in dark scenes.

The Hisense U7H (LCD) is good for gaming, while the Samsung Q60B (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense U7H is better suited for gaming because it has a 120Hz screen, which results in smoother motion, whereas the Samsung Q60B has a lower 60Hz screen, leading to less fluid gaming. Additionally, the U7H has a faster response time and lower input lag compared to the Q60B, essentials for a responsive gaming experience.

The Hisense U7H (LCD) and Samsung Q60B (LCD) are both good for bright room, though the Hisense U7H (LCD) is somewhat better.
The Hisense U7H and Samsung Q60B are effective for bright room viewing as they both offer very good SDR brightness, which is crucial for overcoming ambient light. However, the Hisense U7H has a slight edge in handling reflections, making it slightly better suited for environments with a lot of natural light, while the Samsung Q60B, with its comparable SDR brightness and fair reflection handling, is still a good choice for brightly-lit rooms.

The Samsung Q60B (LCD) and Hisense U7H (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Hisense U7H and the Samsung Q60B are both regarded as fair for watching sports largely due to their response time and motion processing capabilities being less than ideal for fast-paced scenes, and both have limitations in handling reflections which can be distracting during daytime viewing. The Samsung Q60B also falls short when it comes to viewing angles, meaning the picture quality will degrade when viewed from the side, and while gray uniformity is somewhat important, both TVs are comparable in this regard and thus it does not significantly differentiate their performance for sports.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Samsung Q60B (LCD) to be very good for cartoons & animation, while the Hisense U7H (LCD) is good.
The Samsung Q60B excels in its colors straight out of the box. However, the Hisense U7H has better color volume, which can make some colors pop more in various brightness levels but may not match the immediate color accuracy the Q60B provides when first set up.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Hisense U7H (LCD) to be very good for news, talk, & other TV, while the Samsung Q60B (LCD) is good.
The Hisense U7H is well-regarded for watching news and TV programs due to its strong upscaling capability and very good SDR brightness, essential for clear viewing in various lighting conditions. In comparison, the Samsung Q60B, while also providing excellent upscaling and very good SDR brightness, may fall short due to its lack of local dimming and lower contrast, resulting in less defined picture quality in certain scenes.

How the Hisense U7H (LCD) and the Samsung Q60B (LCD) compare to other TVs
"We loved the Hisense U7H. It was able to deliver an excellent all-around image quality in its price range. The TV excels at controlling its backlighting in a way that ensures you’ll never experience blooming to a level of being distracting, something that I was a little surprised to see given the lack of Mini LED. The TV doesn’t just get decently bright it offers relatively accurate color reproduction for a TV in this price range. The TV is being billed excellent for gaming."
"Samsung's 2022 QLED workhorse shines in bright rooms and with HDR. The Samsung Q60B stands out from the slew of entry-level TVs with an ultra-thin frame, a skinny profile from the side and even narrow stand legs. The Q60B is a very good bright-room TV, and my subjective impression of its ample light output was proven by measurements."
