Our Verdict
Samsung Q70/Q70R QLED
Hisense H8F
The Samsung Q70/Q70R QLED is a better TV than the Hisense H8F. The Samsung looks better built, has slightly better local dimming, can get much brighter for HDR content, is more accurate out-of-the-box, and has much better motion handling. On the other hand, the Hisense has slightly better black uniformity and may represent a better value to some people.
