The Hisense U7K is a good option if you're looking for a TV that offers a balance between price and performance. It's a solid performer for gaming, has a reasonable picture quality for watching movies, and can handle well-lit rooms sufficiently. However, it doesn't provide the same level of performance in a dark room setting as the Samsung S95C, nor does it match the Samsung's excellence in displaying sports content. On the other hand, if budget is less of a concern, and you're after top-notch picture quality, especially for movies and sports, then the Samsung S95C would be a great choice. Its OLED screen delivers superior contrast, viewing angles, and black uniformity, making it outstanding for dark room viewing. Increased brightness performance is also a plus in brighter environments, but do note, it will be a more expensive option. In summary, opt for the Hisense U7K if you want a cost-effective, gaming-friendly TV that performs evenly across various types of content. Choose the Samsung S95C if you're willing to invest more for exceptional picture quality, especially for movie enthusiasts or sports fans who regularly watch in dark rooms. Give Feedback

The Samsung S95C (OLED) is excellent for movies & TV, while the Hisense U7K (LCD) is very good.
The Samsung S95C (OLED) shines in movie watching because of its perfect blacks and excellent viewing angles due to its OLED screen, which also helps with outstanding contrast and black uniformity, central for creating deep cinematic experiences. On the other hand, the Hisense U7K (LCD) provides a very good movie experience with strong contrast and local dimming capabilities, but may not match the perfect black levels and wide viewing angles of the Samsung model.

The Samsung S95C (OLED) is very good for sports, while the Hisense U7K (LCD) is only fair.
The Samsung S95C OLED TV excels at watching sports due to its superb motion processing and response time, ensuring clear, smooth movement, alongside wide viewing angles that maintain picture quality from various seating positions, and excellent reflection handling to mitigate glare in bright rooms. Although the Hisense U7K LCD TV handles motion well and has a good response time, its performance is not as strong in these key areas, which may result in more motion blur during fast-paced games and possible reflections affecting viewing in well-lit environments.

The Samsung S95C (OLED) is best in class for gaming, while the Hisense U7K (LCD) is very good.
The Samsung S95C OLED TV is considered the best for gaming mainly due to its top-tier response time and input lag performance, providing an incredibly smooth on-screen action and virtually instantaneous reaction to user commands. In contrast, the Hisense U7K LCD TV, while very good, doesn't quite match the Samsung's exceptional performance in these critical gaming aspects, which can affect fast-paced gaming experiences.

The Samsung S95C (OLED) is excellent for cartoons & animation, while the Hisense U7K (LCD) is very good.
The Samsung S95C stands out for watching cartoons & animation due to its excellent color gamut, allowing for a wider range and more accurate reproduction of colors. In contrast, the Hisense U7K, albeit performing very well with its strong color accuracy right out of the box, doesn't match the Samsung's exceptional color gamut, making the Samsung S95C a superior choice for the richest color experience.

The Samsung S95C (OLED) is excellent for news, talk, & other TV, while the Hisense U7K (LCD) is very good.
The Hisense U7K provides a very good SDR brightness, which is essential for clear images especially in bright rooms, and performs well in upscaling lower resolution content; this makes it suitable for everyday TV programs. However, the Samsung S95C offers excellent colors right out of the box and a superior color gamut that enhances the viewing experience, especially during news and talk shows where image quality and color accuracy are noticeable.

The Samsung S95C (OLED) is excellent for bright room, while the Hisense U7K (LCD) is very good.
The Hisense U7K has very good SDR brightness and handles reflections well, which suits bright room conditions, but the Samsung S95C, with good SDR brightness and the best reflection handling, offers an edge in brightly lit environments. While both sets display rich colors with the Hisense having a very good color volume and the Samsung offering an excellent color volume, the superior reflection handling and HDR brightness of the Samsung S95C make it a superior choice for bright rooms despite its marginally lower SDR brightness compared to the Hisense U7K.
