If you're looking for a more affordable option, the Hisense U7H performs well in a bright room and offers a respectable picture quality. However, it is not the best for viewing sports due to lower performance in handling fast movements. On the other hand, if you are prepared to invest more, the Samsung QN85B excels in bright environments and has better motion handling, which is beneficial for watching sports and using it as a monitor. The Samsung model also has slightly better viewing angles and reflection handling, making it a good fit for a room with multiple seating positions and lots of light. Give Feedback

The Samsung QN85B (LCD) is good for sports, while the Hisense U7H (LCD) is only fair.
The Samsung QN85B is better for watching sports as it has a significantly better response time and motion processing than the Hisense U7H, reducing motion blur, and its superior reflections handling and wider viewing angles make it more suitable for viewing with friends in bright rooms or from different positions. The Hisense U7H may struggle with motion clarity during fast-paced games and could present visibility issues due to reflections and limited viewing angles, which are less of an issue with the Samsung QN85B.

The Samsung QN85B (LCD) is very good for gaming, while the Hisense U7H (LCD) is good.
The Samsung QN85B is considered very good for gaming because it has the best possible input lag performance and very good response time, which are crucial for a smooth gaming experience. Whereas, the Hisense U7H, while still good for gaming, has lower performance with only good input lag and response time, indicating a slightly less responsive gaming experience.

The Samsung QN85B (LCD) is excellent for bright room, while the Hisense U7H (LCD) is good.
The Samsung QN85B outshines the Hisense U7H in bright room conditions primarily because it has higher SDR and HDR brightness, which combats glare more effectively, and it handles reflections better, thus maintaining picture clarity even in well-lit environments. Although the Hisense U7H has a higher contrast ratio, which benefits dark room viewing, the Samsung's superior brightness and reflection handling make it a better choice for bright rooms, despite its lower contrast ratio, which may affect deep black levels.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Samsung QN85B (LCD) to be very good for cartoons & animation, while the Hisense U7H (LCD) is good.
The Hisense U7H is appreciated for displaying cartoons and animation due to its fair colors out of the box and good color gamut which are essential for vibrant and varied hues. The Samsung QN85B, on the other hand, has a higher performance with very good out-of-the-box colors and a similar color gamut, providing an enhanced and richer viewing experience for animated content.

The Samsung QN85B (LCD) and Hisense U7H (LCD) are both very good for news, talk, & other TV.
The Hisense U7H and Samsung QN85B deliver very good upscaling of lower-resolution content and bright SDR image quality for viewing news and talk shows, factors particularly important for these types of programs. Both TVs offer solid colors right out of the box, meaning less need for adjustments, and exhibit good color gamut and local dimming, which enhance overall picture quality, although the Samsung has slightly better viewing angles and reflections handling.

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."

What Hi-Fi?
John Archer | February 2023
"Particularly key to this is the fact that black levels are unusually good, on a level we haven’t seen from any IPS TV before. Build quality is impressive too, with a gleaming silver metallic frame and stand, and enough heft to suggest plenty of quality innards. High dynamic range content jumps off the screen with enough luminosity and intensity to really sell what makes HDR special."
