If you value gaming performance and dark room viewing, the Hisense U7K is a better choice, offering a higher gaming score and superior performance in dark environments. It's also at a lower midrange price, making it more cost-effective. However, the Samsung Q70A has better upscaling, color accuracy out of the box, and a higher reflection handling capability, which makes it more suitable for bright rooms despite its slightly lower bright room score. The Samsung is usually more expensive, which may influence your decision if budget is a concern. Both TVs have a 65-inch screen and support similar high dynamic range (HDR) formats.If you value gaming performance and dark room viewing Give Feedback

The Hisense U7K (LCD) is very good for movies & TV, while the Samsung Q70A (LCD) is only fair.
The Hisense U7K excels in watching movies and cinematic TV due to its impressive black uniformity and effective local dimming, which improve contrast and deep black levels that enhance dark scene details. On the other hand, the Samsung Q70A has better contrast overall but lacks local dimming and has inferior black uniformity, which can result in less detailed shadows and slightly washed-out black tones during movie watching.

The Hisense U7K (LCD) is very good for news, talk, & other TV, while the Samsung Q70A (LCD) is good.
The Hisense U7K excels in watching news, talk shows, and other TV programs due to its very good SDR brightness and upscaling, presenting clearer, well-defined images even from lower resolution sources. In comparison, the Samsung Q70A also displays bright and sharp images but provides slightly better contrast, ensuring deep blacks and vivid picture quality, though it may fall short in terms of local dimming, which can enhance picture depth during diverse viewing content.

The Hisense U7K (LCD) is very good for bright room, while the Samsung Q70A (LCD) is good.
The Hisense U7K is considered very good for watching TV in a bright room mainly because it handles reflections very well and has a high SDR brightness making it suitable for well-lit environments. In contrast, the Samsung Q70A is considered good in bright rooms due to its decent SDR brightness, but it does not handle reflections as effectively as the Hisense, which is an important factor in bright spaces.

The Samsung Q70A (LCD) and Hisense U7K (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Hisense U7K offers very good response time which is beneficial for fast-paced sports action, but its ability to handle reflections is only rated as fair, potentially compromising visibility in bright rooms. In contrast, the Samsung Q70A has a good response time that suits sports watching, but it struggles with reflections even more, making it less suitable for well-lit environments.
