If you're looking for a more budget-friendly option, the Hisense U6G may suit your needs, however, it won't perform as well in very bright rooms compared to the Samsung QN90C, which has superior brightness. The Samsung QN90C also offers a more premium viewing experience for all content, including sports and gaming, due to its higher refresh rates and better motion handling. If you're an avid gamer or watch a lot of fast-action sports, the Samsung QN90C's performance will be noticeably better. Hisense U6G, on the other hand, offers good picture quality for movies and regular TV viewing, and represents a significant saving over the Samsung. If high-end gaming and sports viewing are less of a priority, and you typically watch in a less bright environment, the Hisense could be a sufficient choice. Give Feedback

The Samsung QN90C (LCD) is good for sports, while the Hisense U6G (LCD) is only fair.
The Samsung QN90C handles reflections excellently and has a better viewing angle, which makes it a good choice for watching sports, particularly in well-lit rooms or when viewed from different angles. Conversely, the Hisense U6G, with fair reflections handling and a narrower viewing angle, may not be as suitable for those conditions, despite both TVs having comparable motion processing capabilities.

The Samsung QN90C (LCD) and Hisense U6G (LCD) are both very good for news, talk, & other TV, though the Samsung QN90C (LCD) is somewhat better.
The Hisense U6G is valued for watching news and TV programs partly because it provides very good upscaling of lower resolution content and it delivers substantial SDR brightness, enhancing visibility. The Samsung QN90C, however, excels even further with superior SDR brightness for well-lit rooms and local dimming that also boosts contrast, which combined with its upscaling makes it a strong choice for everyday content viewing.

The Samsung QN90C (LCD) is best in class for bright room, while the Hisense U6G (LCD) is good.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Samsung QN90C (LCD) to be very good for movies & TV, while the Hisense U6G (LCD) is good.
The Samsung QN90C excels in watching movies and cinematic TV due to its higher local dimming and better black uniformity, which contribute to superb contrast and deep black levels essential for dark scenes. On the other hand, the Hisense U6G also performs well with strong contrast and good color performance straight out of the box, but it lacks somewhat in viewing angles and gray uniformity compared to the Samsung model.
