The Hisense U7H generally outperforms the Samsung Q60C in most categories such as overall picture quality, gaming, and dark room performance. It is slightly less expensive, has better motion processing, and supports high dynamic range (HDR) formats like HDR10+, Dolby Vision, and HLG. If you enjoy gaming or watching movies in darker environments and appreciate a better picture and motion quality, the Hisense U7H is a strong option. Conversely, while the Samsung Q60C has a slightly higher price, it offers better quality control and supports voice commands for accessibility. If you place a higher value on manufacturing quality, brand reliability, and you use your TV for casual viewing in rooms with variable lighting, you might prefer the Samsung Q60C. However, note that its performance across key areas like picture quality and gaming is not as strong as the Hisense U7H. Give Feedback

The Hisense U7H (LCD) is good for movies & TV, while the Samsung Q60C (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense U7H excels in movies and cinematic TV because it offers a high contrast and effective local dimming which enhances the depth of blacks, making it suitable for darker scenes typically found in movies. In contrast, the Samsung Q60C falls short in movie viewing experiences due to a lower contrast, less effective local dimming, and poor black uniformity which can result in washed-out blacks and less immersive dark scenes.

The Hisense U7H (LCD) is good for gaming, while the Samsung Q60C (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense U7H is considered good for gaming as it has a higher refresh rate, which results in more fluid motion, and a good response to gaming input, while the Samsung Q60C, although it has the lowest input lag, which is great for gaming responsiveness, is held back by a lower refresh rate which can affect motion smoothness during fast-paced games.

The Hisense U7H (LCD) is very good for news, talk, & other TV, while the Samsung Q60C (LCD) is only fair.
The Hisense U7H offers better upscaling of lower resolution content and displays more accurate colors out of the box, which enhances the viewing experience for news and talk shows, while the Samsung Q60C performs less effectively in these areas, making it less suitable for standard TV programming viewers who prioritize these features. Additionally, the higher SDR brightness of the Hisense U7H translates to a clearer picture in various lighting conditions, contrasted with the acceptable but less impressive brightness of the Samsung Q60C.

The Hisense U7H (LCD) is good for bright room, while the Samsung Q60C (LCD) is only fair.
The Hisense U7H is superior in a bright room due to its 'very good' SDR brightness and 'good' HDR brightness, which outshine the Samsung Q60C's 'good' SDR brightness and 'poor' HDR brightness. Although both handle reflections fairly, the Hisense's higher brightness levels make it more adept at maintaining visibility when ambient light is present. Contrast, color volume, and color gamut, which are also factors, are 'very good' on the Hisense U7H, compounding its advantage over the Samsung Q60C, which does not maintain as vibrant colors under similar conditions.

The Samsung Q60C (LCD) and Hisense U7H (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Hisense U7H has a slower response time which can result in more motion blur during fast-paced sports, whereas the Samsung Q60C has a better response time reducing blur but struggles with poorer viewing angles, making it less ideal for group viewing. Both models have their shortcomings with reflections handling, which can be problematic in bright rooms, but they share similar gray uniformity that's less of an issue for sports watching.

The Hisense U7H (LCD) and Samsung Q60C (LCD) are both good for cartoons & animation.
The Hisense U7H is favorable for watching cartoons and animation because it exhibits good colors straight out of the box and has a very good color gamut, essential for vibrant and diverse shades. In contrast, while the Samsung Q60C also shows good out-of-the-box color accuracy and a good color gamut, it may not deliver the same level of color richness due to its somewhat lesser color volume and gray uniformity.

Tom's guide
Christian de Looper | December 2022
"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."
