If you primarily watch movies or enjoy gaming, the Samsung S95C with OLED technology offers superior picture quality, contrast, and great performance in dark rooms. It is more expensive than the Hisense U7G. The Hisense U7G is an LCD TV that performs well for gaming and is reasonably priced, but it may not match the Samsung in dark room settings and overall picture quality. If cost is a concern and performance in a bright room is a priority, the U7G is a solid option. However, for an enhanced streaming experience regardless of price, the S95C offers significant improvements, including better sound quality and higher performance in many content categories, although it does not perform as well as the U7G in a very bright room.

The Samsung S95C (OLED) is excellent for movies & TV, while the Hisense U7G (LCD) is good.
The Samsung S95C excels in providing exceptional contrast, perfect black uniformity, and wide viewing angles due to its OLED panel, ideal for cinematic experiences in dark rooms. The Hisense U7G, while offering a strong contrast ratio and effective local dimming, doesn't achieve the same level of black uniformity or viewing angles, but it still provides a good picture quality for movies and television at a potentially lower cost.

The Samsung S95C (OLED) is very good for sports, while the Hisense U7G (LCD) is only fair.
The Samsung S95C (OLED) excels in watching sports due to its superior motion processing and response time, which means fast-moving images are clearer, combined with its outstanding handling of reflections and wide viewing angles that ensure a consistent picture regardless of where you sit. In contrast, the Hisense U7G (LCD) has limitations in these areas with only fair motion processing and response time, which can result in more blur during fast action, and a narrower viewing angle leading to images that may degrade when viewed from the side.

The Samsung S95C (OLED) is best in class for gaming, while the Hisense U7G (LCD) is very good.
The Samsung S95C offers the best response time and input lag, which is ideal for fast-paced gaming experiences, while the Hisense U7G delivers good performance in these areas at a possibly lower price point but may not be as fluid or responsive as the OLED variant of the Samsung. The S95C also has a higher refresh rate, supporting up to 144Hz, which can be particularly beneficial for gamers looking for the smoothest motion during high-speed action.

The Samsung S95C (OLED) is excellent for cartoons & animation, while the Hisense U7G (LCD) is good.
The Samsung S95C is rated excellent in color gamut, which means it provides a wider range of colors, making animations look vibrant, and it also has better colors out of the box, reducing the need for calibration. In contrast, the Hisense U7G is rated fair in colors out of the box and good in color gamut, indicating animations will look good, but it may not display as wide a range of colors as the Samsung, and might require some adjustment to get the best picture.

The Samsung S95C (OLED) is excellent for news, talk, & other TV, while the Hisense U7G (LCD) is very good.
The Hisense U7G's strong upscaling and very good SDR brightness make it very suitable for watching news and TV programs, providing clear visuals even from lower-resolution broadcasts. However, the Samsung S95C's superior upscaling capability, combined with its excellent colors right out of the box, larger color gamut, and unmatched contrast due to its OLED panel, offers an outstanding viewing experience for the same content, especially in darker rooms where its perfect blacks can shine.

The Samsung S95C (OLED) is excellent for bright room, while the Hisense U7G (LCD) is good.
The Hisense U7G delivers very good SDR brightness and good HDR brightness, but it has fair reflection handling which can be more problematic in bright rooms. In contrast, the Samsung S95C provides good SDR brightness with excellent reflection handling, making it highly suitable for brightly-lit environments despite having a similar HDR brightness performance to the Hisense U7G.
