Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Samsung QN90B (LCD) to be very good for movies & TV, while the Hisense U6G (LCD) is good.
The Hisense U6G is good for watching movies because of its high black uniformity and decent local dimming that enhance contrast, crucial for dark scenes, but it's not as good in brightly-lit rooms or for viewers sitting off to the side due to its lower viewing angle quality. Meanwhile, the Samsung QN90B is very good for cinematic content with its superior local dimming and reflection handling, making it a better choice for varied lighting conditions and larger seating arrangements, although its colors out of the box may need some adjustment for optimal performance.
