The Samsung S95B (OLED) is excellent for cartoons & animation, while the Hisense U6G (LCD) is very good.
The Samsung S95B delivers exceptional colors out of the box and has a wider color gamut and color volume, enhancing the vibrancy and range of colors for animations, which makes it excellent for watching cartoons.

"Samsung's S95B is easily one of the best high-end 4K TVs on the market. S95B is able to achieve industry-leading color performance and a brighter screen than typical OLEDs. In fact, the display's OLED color coverage is nearly in a class of its own. The S95B is a beautiful TV, even when it's off. The display has a pleasing, minimalist design with nearly bezel-less borders and an impressively thin profile."
