The Hisense U7H is less expensive and offers good performance for gaming and bright room viewing. However, its dark room performance and overall picture quality aren't as impressive as the newer Hisense U8K. The U8K, although more costly, boasts superior picture quality, enhanced gaming capabilities, and better audio with great speakers. It handles bright room conditions very well and excels in dark rooms. If budget is a concern and your priority is gaming in bright rooms, the U7H may suffice. Alternatively, if you're willing to invest more for an overall better viewing experience with superior sound and picture quality, go for the U8K. Give Feedback

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."
