The Hisense U7H usually costs less than the Samsung Q80B and offers greater contrast, making it suitable for darker room viewing. However, the Samsung Q80B, while pricier, offers slightly better performance for watching sports and has superior viewing angles, making it more versatile for social settings. The Q80B also edges out in gaming responsiveness, making it a strong choice for gamers who value quick input response. Both TVs support similar formats and features, with the main differences lying in price and performance across various content types and room settings. If cost is a primary concern and you most often watch movies in dim settings, the Hisense U7H could be the better option. Conversely, if you can invest more for a TV that’s more versatile for gaming and group viewing, the Samsung Q80B might serve you better. Give Feedback

The Hisense U7H (LCD) is good for movies & TV, while the Samsung Q80B (LCD) is only fair.
The Hisense U7H excels in watching movies and cinematic TV, largely due to its superior contrast and black uniformity, which are very important for producing deep blacks and a more immersive picture in dark scenes. In contrast, the Samsung Q80B shows fair performance for the same content, as it has lower contrast and black uniformity, which can lead to less impressive dark scene details and overall picture depth.

The Samsung Q80B (LCD) and Hisense U7H (LCD) are both only fair for sports, though the Samsung Q80B (LCD) is somewhat better.
The Hisense U7H has inferior response time, which isn't ideal for fast-moving sports, but offers good reflection handling and narrow viewing angles. The Samsung Q80B provides superior response time and wider viewing angles, advantages for sports viewership, but might struggle with reflection handling in bright rooms.

The Hisense U7H (LCD) and Samsung Q80B (LCD) are both good for cartoons & animation.
The Hisense U7H is appreciated for cartoons and animation because it offers rich colors straight out of the box, which accentuates the vibrant palettes typical in animation, and its color gamut performance ensures a wide range of shades are accurately displayed. In comparison, the Samsung Q80B also provides a good color gamut, crucial for representing the true hues in animated content, but its ability to deliver vivid and accurate colors out of the box is rated very good, potentially making colors pop a little more with less need for adjustment.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Hisense U7H (LCD) to be very good for news, talk, & other TV, while the Samsung Q80B (LCD) is good.
The Hisense U7H excels in upscaling lower-resolution content and delivering very good SDR brightness, making it ideal for watching news and TV programs in various lighting conditions. In contrast, the Samsung Q80B also provides good upscaling and very good SDR brightness but may not match the local dimming capability of the Hisense, which can impact the overall contrast and depth of the image.

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."

"For most people its picture, sound, and price make it a midrange TV worth considering. HDR brightness was generally exceptional. Its viewing angles are shockingly good, among the very best we’ve seen recently from any non-OLED TV. For gamers input lag isn’t too shabby."
