If you're looking for better overall picture quality, gaming performance, and plan to watch movies and series in both bright and dark rooms, the Hisense U7H could be a great choice; however, it has weaker viewing angles and color calibration out of the box which might not be ideal for wide seating arrangements or accurate colors without adjustment. On the other hand, the Toshiba C350LU is more budget-friendly but offers lower performance across most viewing situations. It does excel in color accuracy out of the box, making it suitable for colorful content like cartoons, but falls short in areas like contrast, local dimming, and sports performance, and may not provide a satisfying experience in bright rooms or for gaming. Both models support HDR formats, but the Hisense U7H supports a wider range including HDR10+ and Dolby Vision, which the Toshiba does not, potentially making the Hisense more future-proof for HDR content.

"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."
