If you are looking to save money and need a TV primarily for watching movies or series in darker rooms, the Hisense R6G might be suitable for you, as its fair picture quality and good black uniformity fit these conditions. However, be aware that it performs poorly in bright rooms and for gaming. On the other hand, if you are willing to invest more for a versatile TV that excels in bright rooms, offers excellent motion processing for sports and gaming, and has very good HDR capabilities, the Samsung QN85B would be a better choice. Keep in mind though, the Samsung might not be as effective in delivering deep blacks due to its poor contrast. Give Feedback

"Particularly key to this is the fact that black levels are unusually good, on a level we haven’t seen from any IPS TV before. Build quality is impressive too, with a gleaming silver metallic frame and stand, and enough heft to suggest plenty of quality innards. High dynamic range content jumps off the screen with enough luminosity and intensity to really sell what makes HDR special."
