Our Verdict
Hisense U6/U6K
Samsung CU7000/CU7000D
The Hisense U6/U6K is better than the Samsung CU7000/CU7000D. The Hisense has much deeper blacks thanks to its local dimming feature, so it’s better for use in a dark room. The Hisense gets much brighter in HDR, supports a wider color gamut, and has better color volume, so colors are more vibrant and lifelike, and highlights pop a lot more than on the CU7000. The Hisense also gets brighter in SDR, so it overcomes glare better in a bright room. Finally, the Hisense is better for gaming as it supports VRR for much less screen tearing than the CU7000.
