If you're looking for better overall picture quality and performance in both dark and bright rooms, the Hisense U6H may be a good choice. It also offers better performance for movies and gaming. However, the Samsung CU7000 has a higher QC/QA score, which might translate to better build quality or reliability; it is also more recent. The Hisense U6H is generally cheaper and may provide better value for those on a budget. Keep in mind, the Samsung CU7000 has fewer HDMI ports and the Hisense U6H has slightly better sound, which may or may not be important depending on your setup. Give Feedback

The Hisense U6H (LCD) is good for movies & TV, while the Samsung CU7000 (LCD) is poor.

The Samsung CU7000 (LCD) and Hisense U6H (LCD) are both only fair for sports, though the Samsung CU7000 (LCD) is somewhat better.
The Hisense U6H has poor motion processing but good reflection handling and viewing angles, which is favorable for sports watching in environments with some reflections or wider seating. In contrast, the Samsung CU7000, despite having fair motion processing, suffers more from reflections and has narrower viewing angles, making it less suitable for viewing with a group or in bright rooms. Both TVs show only fair performance in response time and gray uniformity, which are crucial for fast-paced sports visuals.

The Hisense U6H (LCD) is very good for cartoons & animation, while the Samsung CU7000 (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense U6H displays colors very accurately out of the box and has a good color gamut, making cartoons and animations look vibrant and true to life. In contrast, the Samsung CU7000 struggles with color accuracy when it's first set up and offers a poor color gamut, which can make animated content appear washed out or less lively.

The Hisense U6H (LCD) is very good for news, talk, & other TV, while the Samsung CU7000 (LCD) is only fair.
The Hisense U6H offers better upscaling of low-resolution content commonly found in news and talk shows, which ensures a clearer image on an HDTV. While the Samsung CU7000 is fair for this type of content, it does not upscale as effectively as the U6H and also has a more limited color gamut, resulting in less vibrant colors.

Tom's guide
Matthew Murray | March 2023
"A budget TV that exceeds expectations. (...) For a TV that costs as little as this one does, its brightness and color are above-average (...) The U6H may not get quite as bright as its splashier siblings, but for its class, it fares pretty well. (...) As far as input lag, the U6H is an impressive performer. (...) Costing less than most of its direct competitors, and matching or bettering them in several key areas, it’s an irresistible value proposition. (...)"
