The Hisense U7H has a lower midrange price and is typically much less expensive than the Samsung S90C, which has a premium price tag. When comparing the two, the Hisense U7H offers a solid overall picture quality and is particularly strong for gaming. It's a good fit if you're looking for a TV on a budget but still want a decent experience across different content types including movies and gaming. On the other hand, the Samsung S90C boasts excellent picture quality, stunning performance for gaming, and is exceptional for watching movies. Its OLED technology gives it superior contrast and black levels, making it ideal for dark room viewing. However, it's not as bright as some TVs when it comes to watching in well-lit rooms. So, if you're after the best possible picture quality and gaming experience and are willing to pay more, the Samsung S90C would be a great choice, especially for viewing in darker environments. However, if you're cost-conscious but still want a good all-around performer, the Hisense U7H is a strong contender, though it may not perform as well in very bright rooms. Give Feedback

The Samsung S90C (OLED) is excellent for movies & TV, while the Hisense U7H (LCD) is good.
The Samsung S90C, being an OLED TV, provides perfect black uniformity, has excellent viewing angles and its local dimming feature yields superior contrast levels, which makes it exceptional for watching movies and cinematic content. The Hisense U7H, although offering good contrast and local dimming, doesn't match the S90C in black uniformity and viewing angle, making it good but not excellent for the same types of content.

The Samsung S90C (OLED) is very good for sports, while the Hisense U7H (LCD) is only fair.
The Samsung S90C excels at sports watching due to its superior response time and motion processing, ensuring smooth action with minimal blur, and its reflection handling and wide viewing angles make it ideal for bright rooms and larger groups. In comparison, the Hisense U7H presents challenges with its significantly lower performance in response time, which can mean more motion blur during fast-paced sports, and its fair reflection handling may detract from the experience in well-lit environments.

Tom's guide
Christian de Looper | December 2022
"We loved the Hisense U7H. It was able to deliver an excellent all-around image quality in its price range. The TV excels at controlling its backlighting in a way that ensures you’ll never experience blooming to a level of being distracting, something that I was a little surprised to see given the lack of Mini LED. The TV doesn’t just get decently bright it offers relatively accurate color reproduction for a TV in this price range. The TV is being billed excellent for gaming."
