Our Verdict
Hisense U7N
Samsung Q70D
The Hisense U7N is significantly better than the Samsung Q70D. The Hisense has an excellent local dimming feature to boost its contrast ratio, so it displays much deeper blacks and looks a lot better in a dark room. The Hisense gets brighter in SDR and has much better reflection handling, so it's better suited for use in a bright room. The Hisense also gets brighter in HDR, has a wider color gamut, has better color volume, and is more accurate due to its better PQ EOTF tracking, so it delivers a more impactful HDR experience. Finally, the Hisense has a faster response time and supports 144Hz, so it's a bit better for gamers.
