Our Verdict

Samsung Q80B [Q80, Q80BD] QLED

Hisense U7H [U7, U75H]

The Hisense U7H and Samsung Q80B QLED are better than each other in different ways. The Hisense performs much better in a dark room due to its more effective local dimming feature, better contrast and black uniformity, and highlights pop a bit more in HDR thanks to its slightly better HDR peak brightness. When it comes to gaming, the Samsung is the better option due to its faster response time and lower input lag. The Samsung is also better for watching TV as a group due to its wider viewing angle.
