The Hisense U7G generally provides better performance for gaming and movies due to its higher gaming score and more effective local dimming, which enhances contrast in dark scenes. If you're an avid gamer or enjoy watching movies in darker settings, you might prefer the Hisense U7G.
However, the Samsung Q60B offers slightly better performance for cartoons and animation, and has a significantly better black uniformity, which indicates more even blacks across the screen. If you watch a lot of animated content and highly value even black levels, you may lean towards the Samsung Q60B.
Both TVs are comparable in bright room performance, so if you are watching in a sunny room, either choice would be suitable. The Samsung Q60B is typically somewhat more expensive, so if budget is a concern, the Hisense U7G would be more cost-effective while still delivering a strong viewing experience.
Keep in mind that the Hisense U7G has a 120Hz panel, which can be advantageous for both gaming and smooth motion, whereas the Samsung Q60B has a 60Hz panel, which might not be as smooth with fast-moving content. Give Feedback

The Hisense U7G (LCD) is good for movies & TV, while the Samsung Q60B (LCD) is only fair.
The Hisense U7G offers local dimming which enhances contrast and improves black uniformity, making it better suited for movies and cinematic TV, whereas the Samsung Q60B lacks local dimming, which can result in less defined shadows and blacks in darker scenes. Despite both having similar contrast and fair colors out of the box, the U7G's advantages in local dimming and black uniformity provide a more immersive viewing experience for content with dark scenes and varied lighting.

The Hisense U7G (LCD) is very good for gaming, while the Samsung Q60B (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense U7G is better suited for gaming due to its higher refresh rate of 120Hz and faster response time, allowing for smoother motion and less blurring during fast-paced games. In contrast, while the Samsung Q60B has an excellent input lag performance, its lower 60Hz refresh rate and slower response time may result in more motion blur and judder, which is less ideal for gaming.

The Samsung Q60B (LCD) is very good for cartoons & animation, while the Hisense U7G (LCD) is good.
The Hisense U7G displays colors well out of the box, which is beneficial for the vivid and varied colors typically found in cartoons and animation, and it has a good color volume that helps maintain those colors at different brightness levels. In comparison, the Samsung Q60B is excellent with color accuracy right out of the box, providing a more true-to-life representation of animations, and it also has a good color gamut ensuring a wide range of colors.

The Samsung Q60B (LCD) and Hisense U7G (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Hisense U7G has good response time and motion processing, making it responsive for watching sports, but its reflections handling and viewing angles are fair, which can be problematic in brightly lit rooms or for viewers sitting at an angle. The Samsung Q60B also struggles with reflections and viewing angles; and while it has poor response time, which can lead to motion blur during fast-paced games, it has a notable advantage in terms of managing input lag, meaning faster on-screen reaction times to remote control inputs.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Hisense U7G (LCD) to be very good for news, talk, & other TV, while the Samsung Q60B (LCD) is good.
The Hisense U7G is very good for watching news, talk shows, and other TV programs due to its performance in upscaling lower resolution content and its very good brightness for SDR content, along with satisfactory colors out of the box, color gamut, and local dimming that enhance the overall picture quality. On the other hand, the Samsung Q60B is good for the same types of content with its excellence in out-of-the-box colors, very good upscaling, and SDR brightness, but it lacks local dimming which can affect contrast in various scenes.

How the Hisense U7G (LCD) and the Samsung Q60B (LCD) compare to other TVs
"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."
