The Samsung S95B (OLED) is excellent for movies & TV, while the Hisense U6K (LCD) is good.
The Samsung S95B stands out for watching movies and cinematic TV because its OLED technology delivers excellent contrast, perfect black uniformity, and a wide viewing angle, all contributing to a highly immersive viewing experience. The Hisense U6K, while good for these purposes with decent contrast and fair black uniformity, can't match the Samsung's performance, especially in very dark scenes or when viewed from an angle.

The Samsung S95B (OLED) is very good for sports, while the Hisense U6K (LCD) is only fair.
The Hisense U6K, being an LCD TV, generally has a slower response time and less effective motion processing compared to the Samsung S95B, which is an OLED TV known for its rapid response time and excellent motion processing, crucial for fast-moving sports content. Moreover, the OLED's superior viewing angles and reflections handling ensure a clear picture from various positions in a room, while the U6K, despite having fair gray uniformity, may not offer as wide-viewing angles or as clear an image in well-lit environments.

The Samsung S95B (OLED) is excellent for cartoons & animation, while the Hisense U6K (LCD) is very good.
The Hisense U6K displays colors very well right out of the box, which contributes to a satisfying cartoon and animation viewing experience, but the Samsung S95B excels in the same area and additionally offers an excellent color gamut that brings out vibrant scenes and characters more vividly. However, where the Hisense U6K may fall behind in color gamut, it still presents a very good color volume, which is important for consistent color representation across various brightness levels, although the Samsung S95B outperforms it by providing excellent color volume, ensuring that the full spectrum of colors remains accurate even in the brightest and darkest parts of the image.

The Samsung S95B (OLED) is excellent for news, talk, & other TV, while the Hisense U6K (LCD) is good.
The Hisense U6K performs well for watching news and TV programs due to its good SDR brightness and very good upscaling, but its color performance out of the box and local dimming capabilities are less impressive. In contrast, the Samsung S95B excels in the same content due to its similarly good SDR brightness with significantly better upscaling, as well as excellent color performance right out of the box and contrast, enhancing the overall viewing experience.

The Samsung S95B (OLED) is very good for bright room, while the Hisense U6K (LCD) is only fair.
The Samsung S95B boasts superior performance in bright rooms due to its 'very good' reflection handling, which minimizes glare, and its 'very good' HDR brightness that enhances detail and contrast in brightly lit environments. On the other hand, the Hisense U6K, with only 'fair' reflection handling and 'fair' HDR brightness, will not perform as well as the Samsung in bright conditions, despite having 'very good' color gamut for vivid colors.

"Samsung's S95B is easily one of the best high-end 4K TVs on the market. S95B is able to achieve industry-leading color performance and a brighter screen than typical OLEDs. In fact, the display's OLED color coverage is nearly in a class of its own. The S95B is a beautiful TV, even when it's off. The display has a pleasing, minimalist design with nearly bezel-less borders and an impressively thin profile."
