Hisense U7K vs U6K: Which TV Is Better?

The Hisense U7K is essentially a better version of the Hisense U6K. The U7K has better contrast and black uniformity, so blacks are deeper when viewed in a dark room. Its better SDR brightness makes it better suited for a bright room since it can overcome more glare, and its better HDR brightness makes highlights pop more in HDR content. The U7K also has a quicker response time for less blur behind quick-moving objects and is the better choice to pair with modern gaming consoles due to its HDMI 2.1 bandwidth for 4k @ 120Hz and its more functional VRR feature.
