If you're an avid gamer looking for a TV with better gaming performance, including responsiveness and motion handling, the Hisense U7K is better suited for you. However, if you're on a tighter budget and want a TV that still offers a good viewing experience for movies and TV shows, the Hisense U6H would be a sound choice, even though it's not as well-equipped for gaming. Both TVs are not ideal for wide seating arrangements due to limited viewing angles. For bright rooms, the Hisense U7K has a slight edge with better handling of reflections and higher brightness.

The Hisense U7K (LCD) is very good for gaming, while the Hisense U6H (LCD) is only fair.
The Hisense U7K is rated higher for gaming due to its superior response time, indicating less motion blur during fast-paced games, and although both TVs have good input lag scores, essential for timely reaction in gaming, the U7K has a higher refresh rate, which contributes to smoother gameplay. In contrast, the Hisense U6H, while still considered good for gaming, falls short in these areas, particularly with its lower response time and standard refresh rate.

The Hisense U7K (LCD) is very good for bright room, while the Hisense U6H (LCD) is good.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Hisense U7K (LCD) to be very good for movies & TV, while the Hisense U6H (LCD) is good.
The Hisense U7K outperforms the U6H when watching movies and cinematic TV, mainly due to its superior black uniformity, which is essential for deep blacks in dark scenes, and its very good color out of the box, meaning it displays vibrant and accurate colors immediately without the need for extensive adjustments. While both TVs have the same contrast ratio, which is vital for a wide range of shades, the U7K has better local dimming features enhancing the contrast in various scenes, although the U6H also provides a good color volume and satisfactory viewing angles for a decent group-viewing experience.

The Hisense U7K (LCD) and Hisense U6H (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Hisense U6H and U7K are fair for watching sports, with the U6H's limitations being in its poor response time which can cause some blur during fast-moving scenes and its fair performance in reflections handling that might pose difficulties in well-lit rooms. Conversely, the U7K offers a very good response time limiting motion blur but has a narrower viewing angle that can affect the picture quality for those not sitting directly in front of the TV.
