If you're on a budget, the Hisense U6G is a lower-priced option with solid performance for general viewing and decent quality for bright rooms. Conversely, the Samsung S90C, at a higher price point, offers superior picture quality, especially in dark room settings, a higher refresh rate for smoothness in fast action scenes and gaming, and enhanced features like voice commands. The Samsung S90C will excel for movie enthusiasts and gamers, but the Hisense U6G is a more affordable alternative that still covers most viewing needs. Give Feedback

The Samsung S90C (OLED) is excellent for movies & TV, while the Hisense U6G (LCD) is good.
The Samsung S90C (OLED) stands out for movies and cinematic TV because it has perfect blacks due to its OLED panel, providing it with excellent contrast, local dimming, and black uniformity, enhancing the viewing experience in dark scenes. In comparison, the Hisense U6G (LCD), while offering good contrast and black uniformity for an LCD, does not achieve the same level of picture depth as the S90C, and its local dimming cannot match the precision of OLED, making the S90C a better fit for those prioritizing picture quality over price.

The Samsung S90C (OLED) is very good for sports, while the Hisense U6G (LCD) is only fair.
The Samsung S90C (OLED) provides a superior sports-watching experience with the fastest response time and best reflections handling, making fast-moving scenes look smoother and the screen more watchable in bright rooms than the Hisense U6G (LCD), which has a good response time but fair reflections handling. Moreover, the viewing angles on the Samsung S90C are significantly wider, ensuring consistent image quality across different seating positions, unlike the more limited viewing angles on the Hisense U6G.

The Samsung S90C (OLED) is best in class for gaming, while the Hisense U6G (LCD) is only fair.
The Samsung S90C's superior gaming performance is due to its best response time and lowest input lag, which are crucial for fast-paced gaming, whereas the Hisense U6G, although offering good response time and input lag, doesn't match the Samsung's performance, making it less optimal for serious gamers. The Samsung's higher refresh rate at 144Hz also contributes to smoother motion, further enhancing its gaming advantage over the Hisense's lower refresh rate.

The Samsung S90C (OLED) is excellent for cartoons & animation, while the Hisense U6G (LCD) is very good.
The Hisense U6G has good colors out of the box and very good color gamut, making it suitable for watching cartoons, but the Samsung S90C's colors out of the box are very good with an excellent color gamut, which explains its superior performance for the same content. Additionally, while both have good SDR brightness which is somewhat important, the Samsung S90C's perfect contrast and wider viewing angle contribute to its enhanced quality for animation viewing.
