The Hisense U6H is a budget-friendly choice and performs decently well in both bright and dark rooms. It’s suitable for movies, sports, and general TV watching but may not be the best for gaming due to a lesser gaming performance compared to the Hisense U8K. On the other hand, the Hisense U8K is more expensive but offers a significant improvement in gaming experience, making it a better choice for gamers. It also provides better performance in bright rooms and has superior speakers, which could enhance the viewing experience. However, it does not perform as well with sports content when compared to the U6H. If gaming and watching in bright rooms are your priorities and you are okay with a higher price, the U8K is a better fit. If you are looking for a budget-friendly option with good all-around performance and can compromise on gaming quality, the U6H is suitable. Give Feedback

The Hisense U8K (LCD) is very good for movies & TV, while the Hisense U6H (LCD) is good.
The Hisense U8K stands out for watching movies and cinematic TV due to its superior contrast, more effective local dimming, and exceptional black uniformity, all of which enhance the viewing experience in dark scenes. In comparison, the Hisense U6H, while good for these types of content, has lower contrast, weaker local dimming, and less consistent black uniformity, affecting its performance in similar settings.

The Hisense U8K (LCD) is very good for gaming, while the Hisense U6H (LCD) is only fair.
The Hisense U6H has very good input lag performance, suited for casual gaming; however, its response time is poor, which may not be ideal for fast-paced gaming. In contrast, the Hisense U8K with its good input lag and fair response time, along with a higher refresh rate, provides a better overall gaming experience, particularly for fast-moving games.

The Hisense U8K (LCD) is excellent for cartoons & animation, while the Hisense U6H (LCD) is very good.
The Hisense U6H is recognized as very good for watching cartoons and animation because it excels with colors out of the box, meaning its default settings provide vibrant and accurate hues, enhancing animated content. The Hisense U8K, on the other hand, is considered excellent due to its superior color volume and wider color gamut which allow for a more diverse and richer color representation in animated scenes.

The Hisense U8K (LCD) and Hisense U6H (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Hisense U6H has a poor response time which can result in motion blur during fast-paced sports scenes, and although its reflections handling is fair, this may not be sufficient for very bright rooms. The Hisense U8K offers a fair response time with better motion processing capabilities and very good reflections handling, making it a better choice for bright environments, but it has a narrower viewing angle which might be limiting if you often watch sports with a large group spread out across the room.

The Hisense U8K (LCD) and Hisense U6H (LCD) are both very good for news, talk, & other TV.
The Hisense U6H excels at upscaling lower-resolution content, which is important for watching standard-definition TV programs, and it offers a good color gamut and good colors out of the box, ensuring that content appears vibrant and accurate without additional calibration. The Hisense U8K, on the other hand, provides an excellent SDR brightness, benefiting visibility in well-lit environments, and while it also offers a very good color gamut for a rich color display, it does so with a slight compromise on upscaling compared to the U6H.

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. (...)"
