The Hisense U7H is a LCD TV offered at a lower midrange price, generally much less expensive than its peer. It's suitable if you're on a budget and it performs well in a variety of conditions, however, it doesn't excel in any particular area.
On the other hand, the Samsung S95C is an OLED TV with a high-end price, meaning it is typically much more expensive. It offers superior picture quality, making it a superior choice for watching movies and gaming, especially in darker environments. Additionally, its high-quality sound system might negate the need for a soundbar. However, it might not perform as well as the Hisense in very bright rooms.
Consider the Samsung S95C if you prioritize top-notch picture and sound quality and don't mind the higher cost. The Hisense U7H is a better option if you're looking for a more affordable TV that still delivers a good viewing experience. Give Feedback

The Samsung S95C (OLED) is very good for sports, while the Hisense U7H (LCD) is only fair.
The Hisense U7H is considered fair for watching sports partly because it has a longer response time and less effective motion processing compared to the Samsung S95C, which could result in more blur during fast action. The Samsung S95C delivers very good performance due to its superior handling of reflections, wider viewing angles, and better motion processing, making it more suitable for varied sports-watching conditions.

"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."
