The Hisense U8H is typically less expensive than the Hisense U8K. For gaming, the U8K provides a better experience due to its higher performance. However, if sports viewing is important to you, the U8H delivers a slightly better quality. For movies and general TV watching, both models perform very well, with the U8K having a small edge. In bright rooms, both TVs are quite similar, but the U8K has slightly better performance. The U8K also has great speakers with more power and supports voice commands, enhancing its convenience. Choose the U8H if you want to save money without compromising much on quality, or the U8K if you're looking for a bit higher performance in gaming and a better audio experience, at a higher price.

The Hisense U8H (LCD) and Hisense U8K (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Hisense U8H has a very good response time which is vital for reducing motion blur in fast-moving sports but its motion processing is relatively low, affecting smoothness of action scenes. Whereas, the Hisense U8K, while having a fair response time, offers even lower motion processing, and both TVs struggle with viewing angles which can affect the picture quality when viewed from the side, they handle reflections well which is important in bright rooms, though the U8H slightly outperforms the U8K in gray uniformity which might be noticeable in certain sports with large uniform color fields like a football field or hockey rink.

"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"
