Choose the Hisense U6K if you prioritize a lower price and still want good overall picture quality, along with good performance for movies, news, and cartoons. However, it doesn't handle bright rooms as well and has a lower build quality. Opt for the Samsung QN90C if you are willing to pay a premium for superior bright room performance, gaming, sports watching, and sound quality. It also has a better viewing angle and reflection handling, which is valuable if your room setting involves various seating positions and lighting conditions. Give Feedback

The Samsung QN90C (LCD) is very good for movies & TV, while the Hisense U6K (LCD) is good.
The Samsung QN90C outshines the Hisense U6K with superior local dimming and black uniformity, which enhances contrast during movie watching; this is complemented by the QN90C's wider viewing angles and better gray uniformity, contributing to a consistent picture quality in diverse viewing scenarios. Despite the Hisense U6K having robust contrast and good color performance right out of the box, the Samsung QN90C leads with its overall excellent color volume and handling of reflections, making it more suited for movies and cinematic content, particularly in rooms with varying light conditions.

The Samsung QN90C (LCD) is good for sports, while the Hisense U6K (LCD) is only fair.
The Samsung QN90C outperforms the Hisense U6K in watching sports primarily due to its superior motion processing and reflection handling, as well as its better response time and viewing angles which are crucial for fast-paced action and wide seating arrangements. Although the Hisense U6K performs adequately in these areas, its lower performance in motion processing and reflections handling could detract from the overall sports viewing experience, especially in well-lit rooms or with viewers spread out across the room.

The Samsung QN90C (LCD) is very good for gaming, while the Hisense U6K (LCD) is only fair.
The Samsung QN90C offers superior gaming performance with lower input lag and a higher response rate, making it very responsive for gaming, while the Hisense U6K, with its fair response time and input lag, provides a decent but less optimal gaming experience. Additionally, the Samsung QN90C's higher refresh rate enhances motion clarity, which is crucial for fast-paced gaming, unlike the Hisense U6K which has a lower refresh rate, making it less suitable for intense gaming scenarios.

The Samsung QN90C (LCD) and Hisense U6K (LCD) are both very good for cartoons & animation, though the Samsung QN90C (LCD) is somewhat better.
The Hisense U6K and Samsung QN90C are both very good for watching cartoons and animation because they offer strong colors straight out of the box and wide color gamuts for vivid on-screen images. However, the Samsung QN90C has an edge in color volume, enriching the viewing experience with more shades and intensity, along with better contrast and SDR brightness, which makes it perform better in well-lit environments.

The Hisense U6K performs well for watching news, talk shows, and other TV programs with good SDR brightness and satisfactory upscaling, which enhances lower resolution content.

The Samsung QN90C (LCD) is best in class for bright room, while the Hisense U6K (LCD) is only fair.
The Samsung QN90C is superior for bright room viewing primarily due to its excellent reflection handling and best SDR and HDR brightness, which means it will maintain picture quality even in well-lit environments. In contrast, the Hisense U6K offers fair performance in these categories; it's less ideal for bright rooms as it can't get as bright and doesn't handle reflections as well.
