If you're on a strict budget, the Samsung N5200 is less expensive, still offers a very good viewing angle and is decent for casual gaming or watching in bright rooms. However, it falls behind the Hisense U6G in overall picture quality, especially in a dark room where the U6G excels. The U6G also provides very good movie and sports watching experiences and supports high dynamic range (HDR) content, which is a huge plus if you enjoy the latest movies and games. Additionally, the U6G has better sound features, including Dolby Atmos compatibility and multiple HDMI ports, making it a more versatile choice for different media types. If you can stretch your budget, the Hisense U6G brings a richer viewing experience across most content types. Give Feedback
