If you're looking for a more budget-friendly option, the Hisense U7G could be a good choice as it's often significantly less expensive than the Samsung QN85B. The Hisense U7G performs well overall, but for bright rooms or watching varied content like sports and high-quality movies, the Samsung QN85B is superior with its enhanced brightness and better viewing angles due to the Mini LED technology. For movie enthusiasts or gamers who demand a more premium viewing experience with deeper blacks and higher contrast, the added cost for the Samsung QN85B may be justifiable. However, if price is a major concern, the Hisense U7G still delivers a solid performance for its price bracket. Give Feedback

The Samsung QN85B (LCD) is good for sports, while the Hisense U7G (LCD) is only fair.
The Samsung QN85B offers a better viewing experience for sports primarily due to its superior response time which leads to clearer fast action scenes, and its wider viewing angles which ensure a consistent picture quality when viewed from different positions. In contrast, the Hisense U7G, while competent, may not deliver the same level of clarity in motion or provide as wide viewing angles, impacting the viewing experience for larger groups or in wider rooms.

What Hi-Fi?
John Archer | February 2023
"Particularly key to this is the fact that black levels are unusually good, on a level we haven’t seen from any IPS TV before. Build quality is impressive too, with a gleaming silver metallic frame and stand, and enough heft to suggest plenty of quality innards. High dynamic range content jumps off the screen with enough luminosity and intensity to really sell what makes HDR special."
