If you're on a budget, the Hisense R6G is more affordable, but it's not as well-suited for brightly lit rooms and overall picture quality is fair. It's less optimal for gaming and its HDR brightness is poor, which could diminish the HDR experience. However, if you're looking for a TV that offers a much better viewing experience for movies, sports, and gaming, especially in dark and bright rooms, and aren't concerned about the higher price, the Samsung S90C would be the better choice. Although you'll pay significantly more, this OLED TV comes with excellent picture quality, superior contrast, and wide viewing angles, making it a great option for diverse content and various room conditions. Keep in mind that it also has better sound quality, which could save on additional audio equipment costs. Give Feedback
