Our Verdict
Hisense U7K
Samsung Q70C
The Hisense U7K is better than the Samsung Q70C. The Hisense has much better contrast due to its local dimming feature, so blacks are deeper on it. The Hisense also gets brighter in HDR, so highlights pop more when watching HDR content, and its wider color gamut and better color volume deliver more vibrant and lifelike colors. Finally, the Hisense has a quicker response time for less blur behind fast motion, and it's capable of 4k @ 144Hz for PC gamers with high-end graphics cards.
