Choosing between the Hisense U6K and the Samsung S95C involves considering your budget, viewing preferences, and room conditions. The Hisense U6K is more affordable and delivers decent performance across various types of content, including movies and animation, and may have adequate brightness for moderately-lit rooms. However, it may not be the best choice for sports content and has a more limited viewing angle.
The Samsung S95C, on the other hand, is more expensive but offers superior overall picture quality, especially in dark environments, and has exceptional performance with all content types including sports and gaming. It features better viewing angles and reflection handling, making it a better fit for bright rooms. Its OLED screen will deliver deeper blacks and better contrast but is typically more costly. If budget is a concern, the Hisense U6K is a cost-effective choice, but for the best viewing experience across all scenarios, the Samsung S95C stands out, assuming you're willing to invest in the higher price.

The Samsung S95C (OLED) is very good for sports, while the Hisense U6K (LCD) is only fair.
The Samsung S95C has a higher response time and better motion processing abilities than the Hisense U6K, which makes it more capable of handling fast movements in sports without blurring, and its OLED technology offers wide viewing angles and better handling of reflections. While both TVs have fair gray uniformity, the strengths of the Samsung S95C in the more critical areas for sports watching, like response time and motion processing, contribute to its classification as very good compared to the fair classification of the Hisense U6K.

The Samsung S95C (OLED) is best in class for gaming, while the Hisense U6K (LCD) is only fair.
The Samsung S95C (OLED) is the better choice for gaming thanks to its top-tier response time and input lag performance, ensuring minimal motion blur and snappy game responsiveness. In contrast, the Hisense U6K (LCD) offers fair gaming capabilities, but its response time and input lag don't match the Samsung's, leading to less fluid motion and potential delays in gameplay perception.

The Samsung S95C (OLED) is excellent for cartoons & animation, while the Hisense U6K (LCD) is very good.
The Samsung S95C excels in displaying cartoons and animation due to its superior color gamut and volume, ensuring that the colors are vivid and accurate, whereas the Hisense U6K, although very good with colors out of the box, doesn't reach the same level of color richness and consistency. Additionally, the OLED technology of the S95C contributes to its exceptional contrast and uniformity, which enhances the animation viewing experience, while the U6K's LCD screen, despite its good performance, falls short in these areas.
