The Hisense U6H (LCD) is very good for news, talk, & other TV, while the Hisense U6K (LCD) is good.
The Hisense U6H is very good for watching news and other TV programs due to its strong upscaling capabilities, which improve the quality of lower resolution content, and its excellent color performance right out of the box, saving users from having to adjust settings for an optimal viewing experience. On the other hand, the Hisense U6K is good for these viewing conditions because it also offers reliable upscaling and good color accuracy from the start, although it may not match the U6H's performance in these areas.
The Hisense U6H (LCD) and Hisense U6K (LCD) both have good picture quality.

The Hisense U6H (LCD) and Hisense U6K (LCD) are both good for movies & TV.
The Hisense U6H is well-regarded for movie and cinematic TV watching due to its strong contrast and local dimming features, which enhance the depth of blacks, and its good black uniformity, which reduces the appearance of cloudy spots in dark scenes. Meanwhile, the Hisense U6K also provides a good experience with slightly lower, but still good, contrast and local dimming capabilities, yet it has less effective black uniformity, which may lead to more noticeable lighter areas in dark scenes.

The Hisense U6K (LCD) and Hisense U6H (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
Both the Hisense U6H and U6K offer a fair experience when watching sports due to moderate gray uniformity and a decent handling of reflections, ensuring that the screen displays consistent colors across sports fields and minimizes distraction from ambient light. However, both TVs have limited viewing angles which could result in colors looking washed out from the sides and a response time that, while not the quickest, is adequate for most sports without too much motion blur.

The Hisense U6K (LCD) and Hisense U6H (LCD) are both only fair for gaming.
The Hisense U6H offers fair performance for gaming due to its "poor" response time but "very good" input lag, while the Hisense U6K matches that fair gaming performance with a "fair" response time and "very good" input lag; neither excel in refresh rate as both have a standard 60Hz panel which is not ideal for high-frame-rate gaming.

The Hisense U6H (LCD) and Hisense U6K (LCD) are both very good for cartoons & animation.
The Hisense U6H is exceptional for watching cartoons and animation because it displays colors accurately straight out of the box and has a good color gamut, which ensures a wide range of colors. On the other hand, the Hisense U6K also provides a very good color gamut that's important for vibrant animations, but its colors out of the box are simply good, indicating it might require some adjustments for the best results.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Hisense U6H (LCD) to be good for bright room, while the Hisense U6K (LCD) is only fair.
The Hisense U6H performs better in bright rooms primarily because of its higher SDR and HDR brightness levels, which help to overcome ambient light, and because it handles reflections better. In contrast, the Hisense U6K, while still good, has slightly lower brightness and fair reflection handling, which may not be as effective in very bright environments.
