Got the Hisense setup. Put it on the spare TV stand so I could do a short side by side.
Had to connect the TV via a Lan cable as wifi kept disconnecting. It updated twice to what I presume is the latest firmware? The wifi connection seems fine now.
Put them both on the dynamic picture setting. Samsung brightness was on max (50) and the Hisense was on 60/100. I changed the colour tone to standard on both. The Samsung doesnt have local dimming. The Hisense I set the backlight on High. Here are some initial picture comparisons.
Samsung Q70B on the right. Hisense U7H on the left.

The Hisense is much brighter but the Samsung has better contrast and colours. Ironically, blacks are deeper on the Samsung.
Side note. The price of the 65 U7H has come down to R12999 from R14999.
The Samsung was R16999 on sale at Makro.
Gonna do some gaming and report back.
