The Samsung QN90C (LCD) is good for sports, while the Hisense U6H (LCD) is only fair.
The Samsung QN90C is regarded better for sports due to its excellent ability to handle reflections and wider viewing angles, which maintain image accuracy when viewed from the side; it also boasts good motion processing and fast response time, reducing motion blur during fast-paced scenes. In comparison, the Hisense U6H struggles with these aspects, offering only fair reflection handling and poorer motion processing and viewing angles, which can result in less clarity during dynamic sporting events.
