The Hisense U6G is a budget-friendly option that offers good overall performance, but in a bright room, it may not perform as well compared to the Samsung S95C, which has an OLED panel. The OLED provides better contrast ratios and viewing angles, beneficial for darker room environments and high-quality content like movies. However, if you're concerned about long-term screen burn-in and plan to display static content often, such as news channels or use it as a PC monitor, the LCD technology in the Hisense U6G is less prone to this issue. If you prefer an exceptional visual experience and don't mind spending more, the Samsung S95C will provide superior picture quality, especially for movies and in dimmer environments. Give Feedback

The Samsung S95C excels in sports watching due to its superior OLED panel, offering perfect black levels and wide viewing angles which are crucial when watching with a group; additionally, its reflection handling is the best, ensuring clarity even in bright rooms.

The Samsung S95C (OLED) is excellent for news, talk, & other TV, while the Hisense U6G (LCD) is very good.
The Hisense U6G offers very good upscaling and SDR brightness which contributes to a good viewing experience for news and talk shows; however, its color performance out of the box is only fair, and its local dimming score is significantly lower than premium options.
