If you're looking for a more budget-friendly option, the Hisense A6H is significantly less expensive than the Samsung S90C. The Hisense A6H will offer decent overall performance, including for watching movies and TV shows, but may not be the best choice for very bright rooms or for gaming enthusiasts. The Samsung S90C, on the other hand, offers superior performance, particularly in picture quality, gaming features, and in handling reflections, making it a better choice for a variety of content, including sports and gaming, as well as bright room viewing. However, these premium features come at a higher cost. If outstanding picture quality and better performance in a variety of viewing scenarios are important to you and you're willing to invest more, the Samsung S90C is a more impressive option.

The Samsung S90C (OLED) is excellent for movies & TV, while the Hisense A6H (LCD) is poor.
The Samsung S90C excels in movie and cinematic TV viewing mainly due to its superior contrast, local dimming, and black uniformity which are vital for deep blacks and high-quality picture, while the Hisense A6H struggles in these areas, impacting its ability to deliver the rich, detailed visual experience often desired for movies. Additionally, the S90C offers wide viewing angles and vibrant colors out of the box, enhancing the overall viewing experience, whereas the A6H's performance in these aspects is less impressive.

The Samsung S90C (OLED) is very good for sports, while the Hisense A6H (LCD) is only fair.
The Hisense A6H has fair reflection handling and a poor response time which might result in motion blur and distract from the sports viewing experience, especially in bright rooms. Conversely, the Samsung S90C offers the best reflection handling and response time, providing clear images with minimal blur during fast action, making it a better choice for an immersive sports experience, regardless of room brightness.

The Samsung S90C (OLED) is best in class for gaming, while the Hisense A6H (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense A6H is rated poorly for gaming mainly due to its response time and input lag, which means it has a slower reaction to inputs and could make fast-paced gaming feel less responsive. In comparison, the Samsung S90C excels in gaming with a top rating for both response time and input lag, offering a smoother and more responsive gaming experience.
