If you're looking for a TV with better overall picture quality and a more advanced gaming experience at a lower price, the Hisense U7H is a strong choice as it has a higher overall picture quality and gaming score. However, it won't perform as well in bright rooms compared to the Samsung Q70A, which has a slightly better bright room performance. Keep in mind, the Samsung Q70A is more expensive, though it offers better black uniformity and viewing angles, which might be important if you often watch TV from different positions in the room. Both TVs support gaming features and have similar sound quality, but the Hisense supports both HDR10+ and Dolby Vision, offering broader HDR compatibility than the Samsung, which doesn't support Dolby Vision.

The Hisense U7H (LCD) is good for movies & TV, while the Samsung Q70A (LCD) is only fair.
The Hisense U7H delivers a better movie and cinematic TV watching experience with its superior full array local dimming feature that bolsters contrast, while the Samsung Q70A, lacking local dimming and with weaker black uniformity, falls short in providing the depth and detail in dark scenes that are crucial for such content. Additionally, the Hisense U7H's superior black uniformity contributes to more consistent dark scene portrayal, unlike the Samsung Q70A which may exhibit more uneven blacks and potentially distract from the viewing experience.

The Samsung Q70A (LCD) and Hisense U7H (LCD) are both only fair for sports, though the Samsung Q70A (LCD) is somewhat better.
The Hisense U7H has poorer response time which can affect how smooth fast-moving scenes appear during sports, while its motion processing is superior to that of the Samsung Q70A. However, the Q70A has better reflection handling and response time, making it a slightly better fit for bright rooms and fast-paced sports action despite its inferior motion processing.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Samsung Q70A (LCD) to be very good for cartoons & animation, while the Hisense U7H (LCD) is good.
The Samsung Q70A has colors that are very good out of the box, which enhances the vibrant hues often found in cartoons and animation, while the Hisense U7H has fair color accuracy out of the box, meaning it might not display colors as true to the original content without adjustment.

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."
