The Hisense U7G may be a compelling choice if you are looking for a TV at a lower midrange price, as it typically costs much less than the Samsung QN95B. However, the Samsung QN95B, which sits at an upper midrange price, offers superior overall picture quality and a better experience for gaming, with a higher gaming score. This may be particularly attractive if you're an avid gamer.
For sports enthusiasts, the brighter screen and higher sports content score of the Samsung QN95B make it a more suitable option, ensuring clear and vibrant viewing even in well-lit rooms.
Movie watchers interested in a dark room setting may find both TVs fairly competent, but with different pros and cons. The Hisense U7G offers good performance in dark rooms and sufficient quality for movie series, whereas the Samsung QN95B, having slightly lower dark room performance, excels in picture quality for movies, series, and animation.
When it comes to using the TV in a bright room, the Samsung QN95B outshines the Hisense U7G with a higher bright room score. This is an important consideration if the TV will be placed in a room that receives a lot of sunlight or has many lights.
In terms of sound, the Samsung QN95B is noted to have "great speakers," which could enhance the audio experience without the need for external sound systems.
Remember that the best TV for you depends on your primary use case, budget, and room conditions. If cost is a major deciding factor and you still desire strong performance in gaming and movies, the Hisense U7G is a worthy choice. But if you're willing to invest more for top-tier gaming, sports viewing, and brighter room performance, the Samsung QN95B might be the way to go. Give Feedback

The Samsung QN95B (LCD) is good for sports, while the Hisense U7G (LCD) is only fair.
The Hisense U7G has good response time and fair motion handling, which can lead to some blur during fast-moving sports scenes, but might not handle reflections as well as the Samsung QN95B, which has very good response time and best-in-class motion handling for clear sports viewing, as well as better reflection handling due to its superior anti-reflective coating. The Samsung also offers wider viewing angles, making it a better option for group sports viewing, even though it might be pricier than the Hisense U7G.

The Samsung QN95B (LCD) is best in class for bright room, while the Hisense U7G (LCD) is good.
The Samsung QN95B outperforms the Hisense U7G in terms of suitability for watching TV in a bright room, thanks to its higher SDR and HDR brightness levels and superior reflection handling; the QN95B is described as having 'Best' SDR brightness and 'Excellent' reflection handling, while the U7G's SDR brightness is marked 'Very Good' and reflection handling only 'Fair'. Although the Hisense U7G still offers a good performance under these conditions, with 'Good' HDR brightness and a lower contrast ratio, the Samsung QN95B's higher contrast, better color volume, and color gamut will provide a more vibrant and clearer viewing experience, especially in bright rooms.
