Choosing between the Hisense U6G and the Samsung QN90A comes down to balancing budget concerns against performance preferences. The Hisense U6G is a more budget-friendly option, providing good overall value for money, but with limitations such as a lower peak brightness, so it may not perform as well in very bright rooms. The Samsung QN90A, on the other hand, is more expensive but delivers superior performance particularly in bright room conditions due to its higher peak brightness and better reflection handling. For those primarily watching movies, the Samsung may also provide a more immersive experience with better picture quality, though the Hisense still offers solid performance for its price. If gaming is a priority, the Samsung QN90A is better equipped with features and performance suited for the latest gaming consoles or PC gaming. In summary, if budget is your top concern, the Hisense U6G is a good choice, but for those seeking the best viewing experience across various conditions and content types, the Samsung QN90A is the better option despite its higher cost.

The Samsung QN90A (LCD) is good for sports, while the Hisense U6G (LCD) is only fair.
The Samsung QN90A is superior for watching sports due to its excellent motion processing and response time, along with better reflections handling and wider viewing angles, ensuring clear images from different seats. Meanwhile, the Hisense U6G, while being fair in these aspects, doesn't match the Samsung's performance, leading to less smooth motion during fast action and more difficulty with screen reflections and off-angle viewing.

The Hisense U6G (LCD) provides satisfying standard dynamic range (SDR) brightness and upscaling that benefits news and TV program viewing; however, out-of-box colors are not optimal.

The Samsung QN90A (LCD) is best in class for bright room, while the Hisense U6G (LCD) is good.
The Samsung QN90A outshines the Hisense U6G in brightness for both standard and high dynamic range content, which, combined with its superior reflection handling, makes it a standout choice for brightly lit rooms. However, the Hisense U6G still offers very good Standard Dynamic Range (SDR) brightness and good High Dynamic Range (HDR) brightness but may not handle reflections as well as the Samsung QN90A, which could be a crucial factor in a well-lit environment.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Samsung QN90A (LCD) to be very good for movies & TV, while the Hisense U6G (LCD) is good.
The Hisense U6G has a higher black uniformity compared to the Samsung QN90A, which can be preferential for watching movies as it may provide deeper blacks and less "blooming" effect; however, the Samsung has a higher local dimming feature which offers superior contrast and bright room performance that can enhance cinematic experiences. While the Hisense has fair colors out of the box, the Samsung excels in this area, delivering very good color accuracy and color volume that can make movie scenes pop more vividly, and it also offers better viewing angles which can be important if you often watch with a group spread out across the room.
