Our Verdict

Hisense U6N

Hisense U7N

The Hisense U7N is better than the Hisense U6N. With local dimming turned on, the U7N has better contrast for deeper blacks in a dark room, with slightly less noticeable zone transitions. The U7N is better suited for use in a bright room due to its better SDR brightness and reflection handling, meaning it overcomes more glare. The U7N is also a better gaming TV due to its HDMI 2.1 bandwidth, up to 4k @ 144Hz support, and faster response time.
