Our Verdict
Hisense U7N
Samsung DU8000
The Hisense U7N is significantly better than the Samsung DU8000. The Hisense has an effective local dimming solution, and the Samsung doesn't have one at all, so the Hisense displays much deeper blacks, which stay deep when bright highlights are also on screen. The Hisense has drastically better HDR brightness, so highlights really pop out in HDR content, and its wider color gamut and much better color volume provide more vibrant, lifelike, and brighter colors. When it comes to use in a bright room, the Hisense is significantly better at handling glare thanks to its much better SDR brightness and reflection handling. The Hisense also has a faster response time for less blur behind quick motion, and it's much better suited for gamers thanks to its HDMI 2.1 bandwidth, up to 4k @ 144Hz, and VRR support.
