The Hisense U8H (LCD) is very good for movies & TV, while the Hisense U6H (LCD) is good.
The Hisense U8H is better for movies and cinematic TV due to higher contrast, better local dimming, and superior black uniformity compared to the Hisense U6H, which are crucial for deep blacks and detailed shadow scenes. While the U6H delivers decent performance with good colors out of the box and reasonable uniformity features, the U8H excels in these areas, as well as in color volume and handling reflections, though it has slightly narrower viewing angles.

The Hisense U8H (LCD) and Hisense U6H (LCD) are both only fair for sports, though the Hisense U8H (LCD) is somewhat better.
The Hisense U6H handles motion less effectively than the U8H and has poorer reflection handling, which might be noticeable when watching sports; both have limited viewing angles but the U6H has a poorer response time which impacts fast-moving scenes. While the U6H exhibits acceptable gray uniformity, the U8H's superior motion processing and response time provide a smoother sports viewing experience.

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. (...)"

"Hisense is over here making the best TVs for the majority of average families. U8H is a juiced-up utility knife of a television that manages to do a lot of things pretty well. The brightness this TV is capable of pushing out means I can see everything going on in any video game I’m playing regardless of what time of day it is"
