The Hisense U8G (LCD) is very good for movies & TV, while the Samsung Q60B (LCD) is only fair.
The Hisense U8G delivers better performance for movies and cinematic TV primarily due to better local dimming capabilities that enhance contrast and black uniformity, creating more depth and realism in dark scenes. The Samsung Q60B, while offering similar contrast, lacks local dimming which can result in less striking dark scenes; however, both TVs provide vibrant colors out of the box and have comparable gray uniformity, which is important for consistent picture quality across the screen.

The Hisense U8G (LCD) is very good for gaming, while the Samsung Q60B (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense U8G is better suited for gaming due to its faster response time and very good input lag performance, enhancing fast-paced gaming and reducing delay between controller input and on-screen action. In contrast, the Samsung Q60B has a slower response time and poorer input lag performance, which might result in more noticeable delays during gameplay and ghosting effects in fast-moving scenes.

The Hisense U8G (LCD) is very good for news, talk, & other TV, while the Samsung Q60B (LCD) is good.
The Hisense U8G excels in delivering very good brightness for SDR content and has superior upscaling, making it very good for watching news and TV programs, along with an excellent out-of-the-box color accuracy and a very good color gamut, enhancing overall picture quality.

The Hisense U8G (LCD) and Samsung Q60B (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Hisense U8G has a very good response time which is crucial for smooth motion in sports, but its limited viewing angles can be an issue for group viewings. In comparison, the Samsung Q60B handles reflections only fairly and has a poor response time, leading to more motion blur during fast sports, though it does have similar viewing angles and slightly better gray uniformity than the Hisense U8G.

The Hisense U8G (LCD) and Samsung Q60B (LCD) are both very good for cartoons & animation.
The Hisense U8G boasts excellent colors out of the box and a very good color gamut, which ensures vibrant and accurate representation important for animations, but its gray uniformity is good rather than excellent which might affect the viewing of panning shots in cartoons. In contrast, the Samsung Q60B also offers excellent colors straight away and a good color gamut, contributing to a rich display for animated content, though it has better gray uniformity which is advantageous for uniform color scenes but falls short in terms of contrast and SDR brightness when compared to the Hisense U8G.

CNET
David Katzmaier | June 2022
"Samsung's 2022 QLED workhorse shines in bright rooms and with HDR. The Samsung Q60B stands out from the slew of entry-level TVs with an ultra-thin frame, a skinny profile from the side and even narrow stand legs. The Q60B is a very good bright-room TV, and my subjective impression of its ample light output was proven by measurements."
