Both TVs handle reflections very well, though the U8H slightly edges out with overall better performance in areas like color volume, which contributes to its superiority in bright environments.

The Hisense U8H (LCD) and Hisense U8G (LCD) are both very good for movies & TV.
The Hisense U8G excels in movie and cinematic TV viewing primarily because of its high contrast, effective local dimming feature, and excellent black uniformity, which are critical for producing deep blacks and a rich picture in dark scenes. On the other hand, the Hisense U8H, while similar to the U8G in terms of local dimming and contrast, offers slightly better black uniformity, a higher color volume for more vivid and varied colors, and improved gray uniformity, making it a strong choice for movies and TV shows that benefit from a wide range of colors and consistent grayscale performance.

The Hisense U8H (LCD) and Hisense U8G (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Hisense U8G has a good response time but is let down by its motion processing, which is not ideal for fast-moving sports, and the viewing angles are limited, meaning the picture quality will drop if you're not directly in front of the TV. On the other hand, the Hisense U8H faces similar issues with motion processing and viewing angles, but it has slightly better performance in both aspects and improved gray uniformity which is somewhat important for sports viewing.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Hisense U8H (LCD) to be excellent for cartoons & animation, while the Hisense U8G (LCD) is very good.
The Hisense U8H provides a brighter image which can improve the appearance of vibrant colors, and its color volume is rated higher, enhancing the range and depth of colors when watching cartoons and animation. The Hisense U8G though very competent, has slightly less upfront color accuracy and lower SDR brightness, which may affect the pop of colors in bright room conditions.

The Hisense U8H (LCD) and Hisense U8G (LCD) are both very good for news, talk, & other TV.
The Hisense U8G offers excellent upscaling and very good SDR brightness, making it suitable for viewing news and talk shows as it can effectively enhance lower resolution content and display it brightly. The Hisense U8H also features excellent upscaling paired with even higher SDR brightness, along with deep contrasts and vibrant colors from its wide color gamut, local dimming, and out-of-the-box color accuracy, which ensures a clear and engaging viewing experience for similar content.

"Hisense is over here making the best TVs for the majority of average families. U8H is a juiced-up utility knife of a television that manages to do a lot of things pretty well. The brightness this TV is capable of pushing out means I can see everything going on in any video game I’m playing regardless of what time of day it is"
