Our Verdict

Hisense U7K [U7, U75K]

Samsung Q60D [Q60, Q60DD] QLED

The Hisense U7K is much better than the Samsung Q60D QLED. The U7K has a wider color gamut and better color volume for more vibrant, lifelike, and brighter colors. The U7K also has much better contrast due to its excellent local dimming and much better HDR brightness, so HDR content is much more impactful on it. Finally, the U7K has HDMI 2.1 bandwidth for up 4k @ 120Hz with VRR, so it's the better option for gamers with modern consoles.
