Our Verdict
Samsung AU8000
Hisense U6G
The Hisense U6G is better than the Samsung AU8000. The Hisense is better for use in a dark room as it has a much higher contrast ratio and a local dimming feature, so blacks are much deeper. The Hisense is also better for watching HDR content as it has a wider color gamut, better color volume, and has a higher HDR peak brightness, so colors are more vibrant and lifelike, and bright highlights pop more than on the AU8000. On top of that, the Hisense is better for gaming because of its faster response time and the ability to play games in 1440p.
