If you prioritize gaming and want to save some money, the Hisense U7G is a strong choice due to its impressive gaming performance and lower price. However, the Samsung QN90C shines in bright rooms and offers a premium viewing experience for varied content, including sports, movies, and TV shows. The QN90C also has better reflection handling for well-lit environments. If you're willing to invest more for these improvements and you often watch TV in bright spaces, the Samsung QN90C is the better option. Keep in mind, though, the Hisense U7G still provides a good overall picture quality and gaming experience at a lower cost. Give Feedback

The Samsung QN90C (LCD) is very good for movies & TV, while the Hisense U7G (LCD) is good.
The Hisense U7G offers a high contrast ratio and good local dimming capability which are key for deep blacks and a crisp picture during movies, but its black uniformity isn't as strong as the Samsung QN90C. The Samsung QN90C, with its superior local dimming and outstanding black uniformity, delivers a more consistent and vibrant cinematic experience, although it may come at a higher price point.

The Samsung QN90C (LCD) and Hisense U7G (LCD) are both very good for news, talk, & other TV, though the Samsung QN90C (LCD) is somewhat better.
The Hisense U7G excels in upscaling lower resolution content and offers a very good SDR brightness, which benefits the display of news and talk shows during the day, while its fair color accuracy reduces the need for post-purchase calibration. On the other hand, the Samsung QN90C showcases superior SDR brightness and excellent upscaling, ensuring bright and clear images even in well-lit environments, and features better color accuracy right out of the box for vibrant content without additional tuning.
