Hisense U6K
Samsung CU8000
The Hisense U6K is much better than the Samsung CU8000. The Hisense has an unspectacular but functional local dimming feature, giving it a vastly deeper contrast than the Samsung CU8000. It's also brighter than the Samsung, so the Hisense has the edge in both dark and bright rooms. The Hisense is better for color purists, as it has much better PQ EOTF tracking in HDR and is much more accurate in SDR, alongside a wider color gamut for a more vibrant and accurate picture overall. It's also better for gamers than the Samsung TV due to its much faster response time, 1440p support, and basic VRR capabilities. The Samsung model does have better low-quality content smoothing, so it does a better job clearing out compression artifacts from streaming content.
