The Hisense U7K has slightly better overall picture quality and much better gaming performance than the Hisense U7H. It also offers improved performance in bright rooms and has voice commands, which the U7H lacks. However, the U7H has better speakers. If gaming is important to you or you'll be watching a lot in bright rooms, the U7K may be the better choice. If sound quality is a priority and you're not as concerned about gaming performance, then the U7H could be suitable. Give Feedback

The Hisense U7K (LCD) is very good for gaming, while the Hisense U7H (LCD) is good.
The Hisense U7K is considered very good for gaming mainly because it has a higher response time score, which suggests better performance in fast-paced scenes, and it supports a higher refresh rate, which can make motion appear smoother compared to the Hisense U7H. However, both televisions are ranked the same for input lag, meaning how quickly the TV reacts to your actions, such as a button press, is essentially on par between the two.

The Hisense U7K (LCD) and Hisense U7H (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Hisense U7H has a faster response time which is better for fast-moving sports but has narrower viewing angles that can affect the picture quality from the side. While the Hisense U7K handles reflections slightly better, making it more suitable for bright rooms, its response time is slower which could result in more motion blur during fast sports action.

The Hisense U7K is better suited for bright rooms compared to the Hisense U7H due to its superior handling of reflections and slightly higher brightness in both SDR and HDR content.

Tom's guide
Christian de Looper | December 2022
"We loved the Hisense U7H. It was able to deliver an excellent all-around image quality in its price range. The TV excels at controlling its backlighting in a way that ensures you’ll never experience blooming to a level of being distracting, something that I was a little surprised to see given the lack of Mini LED. The TV doesn’t just get decently bright it offers relatively accurate color reproduction for a TV in this price range. The TV is being billed excellent for gaming."
