If you prioritize a top-tier viewing experience and are okay with a higher price, the Samsung QN90A is more suitable. It offers superior performance in bright rooms and a more vibrant picture for movies and gaming. In contrast, the Hisense U6K is much more affordable and still provides good overall picture quality, but it might not handle very bright rooms as well and its gaming experience is less impressive compared to the Samsung. Each TV has a 65-inch screen, but the Samsung has better sound quality and supports a wider range of HDR formats; however, only the Hisense supports Dolby Vision. Give Feedback

The Samsung QN90A (LCD) is very good for movies & TV, while the Hisense U6K (LCD) is good.
The Hisense U6K is appreciated for movies and cinematic TV due to its high contrast, effective local dimming, and good black uniformity, enhancing dark scene performance. In contrast, the Samsung QN90A is rated higher for similar content because it not only maintains these qualities but also boasts superior local dimming and black uniformity, resulting in deeper blacks and better shadow detail, along with wider viewing angles and more vibrant colors straight out of the box.

The Samsung QN90A (LCD) is good for sports, while the Hisense U6K (LCD) is only fair.
The Samsung QN90A is better for sports because it has an excellent response time and motion processing which leads to smoother movement, while the Hisense U6K has only fair performance in these areas, potentially resulting in some motion blur during fast-paced games. Furthermore, the Samsung handles reflections beautifully, offering clear viewing even in bright rooms, unlike the U6K that has only fair reflection handling, which may reduce visibility in well-lit environments.

The Samsung QN90A (LCD) is very good for gaming, while the Hisense U6K (LCD) is only fair.
The Samsung QN90A offers very good gaming performance due to its excellent response time and best input lag rating, while the Hisense U6K, with fair response time and very good input lag, does not match the gaming performance of the Samsung. This means the Samsung TV is better for fast-paced gaming because it can handle rapid movements more smoothly and reacts more quickly to gaming inputs compared to the Hisense TV.

The Samsung QN90A (LCD) and Hisense U6K (LCD) are both very good for cartoons & animation, though the Samsung QN90A (LCD) is somewhat better.
The Hisense U6K is very good for watching cartoons and animation due to its strong color performance right out of the box and its very good color gamut, ensuring a vibrant display. Meanwhile, the Samsung QN90A excels in the same content with the best possible color accuracy immediately after setup, combined with a good color gamut and very good color volume, which contributes to richer and more nuanced on-screen colors.

The Samsung QN90A (LCD) is very good for news, talk, & other TV, while the Hisense U6K (LCD) is good.
The Samsung QN90A excels in upscaling and SDR brightness, making it very good for watching news, talk shows, and TV programs, which typically do not require high dynamic range (HDR) capabilities. In contrast, the Hisense U6K, while performing well in these aspects, doesn't quite match the Samsung's excellence in brightness and upscaling, but it does offer a very good color output right out of the box, making it a good option for standard TV viewing.

The Samsung QN90A (LCD) is best in class for bright room, while the Hisense U6K (LCD) is only fair.
The Samsung QN90A is preferable for bright rooms because it has excellent reflection handling and very high brightness, both in standard and high dynamic range content, meaning it can maintain a clear image even in well-lit environments. In contrast, the Hisense U6K's fair reflection handling and lower brightness levels may result in a less optimal viewing experience in such conditions.
