The Hisense U6H is more budget-friendly and offers good overall picture quality, sound for movies and series, and performs quite well in both dark and bright rooms. It also has low input lag, which is great for gaming.
On the other hand, the Samsung QN90B is a premium-priced TV with exceptional brightness, making it better suited for very bright rooms. Its gaming performance is superior, which can be crucial for fast-paced gaming due to its higher response time and support for more advanced gaming features. It also has better color accuracy and viewing angles.
In summary, if cost is a significant consideration, and you want a good all-around TV, the Hisense U6H could be an appropriate choice. However, if you're willing to invest in a top-tier experience for gaming and are looking for superior performance in bright rooms, the Samsung QN90B would be a better fit. Give Feedback

The Samsung QN90B (LCD) is good for sports, while the Hisense U6H (LCD) is only fair.
The Samsung QN90B excels in sports viewing because it has very good response time and motion processing, reducing blur in fast scenes, and its excellent handling of reflections makes it suitable for bright rooms. In contrast, the Hisense U6H has poor response time and doesn't handle motion as well, which can lead to more blur during fast sports action, and its fair reflection handling means it's less ideal for well-lit environments.

"A budget TV that exceeds expectations. (...) For a TV that costs as little as this one does, its brightness and color are above-average (...) The U6H may not get quite as bright as its splashier siblings, but for its class, it fares pretty well. (...) As far as input lag, the U6H is an impressive performer. (...) Costing less than most of its direct competitors, and matching or bettering them in several key areas, it’s an irresistible value proposition. (...)"
