If you prioritize higher overall performance, particularly for movie watching and HDR content, the Hisense U6G is a strong option with better picture quality and brightness handling; however, it's more expensive. The Samsung CU7000 is more budget-friendly and offers a solid basic performance, which suffices for general viewing in most conditions, but it doesn't excel in any particular area. Neither TV is ideal for very bright rooms, but the Hisense U6G has a slight advantage. For gaming, both are adequate with similar input lag, but the Hisense may provide a slightly better experience due to its higher contrast and color accuracy. Give Feedback

The Samsung CU7000 (LCD) and Hisense U6G (LCD) are both only fair for sports, though the Samsung CU7000 (LCD) is somewhat better.
The Hisense U6G and Samsung CU7000 both have fair performance when watching sports, yet differ in specific areas; the Hisense has higher response time which is better for fast action but falls short in input lag compared to the Samsung, which might be preferable for gaming. While both TVs are similar in handling reflections and viewing angles, however, the Hisense offers slightly better gray uniformity which is important for viewing sports with uniform playing surfaces like football fields or hockey rinks.

The Hisense U6G (LCD) and Samsung CU7000 (LCD) are both only fair for gaming, though the Hisense U6G (LCD) is somewhat better.
The Hisense U6G has good response time but fair input lag, which means it reacts quickly to fast-moving visuals but might have some delay in responding to user inputs. In contrast, the Samsung CU7000 has fair response time and very good input lag, indicating slower visual reaction but quicker responsiveness to user controls during gaming.

The Hisense U6G (LCD) is very good for cartoons & animation, while the Samsung CU7000 (LCD) is poor.

The Hisense U6G (LCD) is very good for news, talk, & other TV, while the Samsung CU7000 (LCD) is only fair.
The Hisense U6G is better for watching news and TV programs due to its very good upscaling ability and higher SDR brightness, helping content to look clearer and more vibrant, especially in brighter room conditions. The Samsung CU7000 is rated lower because it provides fair upscaling and SDR brightness, which means it might not handle low-resolution content as well and may appear dimmer, reducing clarity and color vibrancy.

The Hisense U6G (LCD) is good for bright room, while the Samsung CU7000 (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense U6G is superior for bright room viewing because it has very good SDR and good HDR brightness levels, allowing it to overcome ambient light, and it manages reflections fairly well. In contrast, the Samsung CU7000 struggles with lower brightness in both SDR and HDR, which may result in a washed-out picture in brighter settings, and it has poor reflection handling, making it less ideal for well-lit environments.
