The Hisense U8G (LCD) is often significantly less expensive and performs well overall, especially for gaming. However, it may not be the best for sports content or use in very bright rooms. It supports Dolby Vision and HLG, but not HDR10+. The Samsung QN90B (LCD) comes at a premium price but offers slightly better picture quality, particularly for sports content and in bright rooms. It's also a better choice if you're looking for a TV that can double as a computer monitor. It supports HDR10+ and HLG, but lacks Dolby Vision. Give Feedback

The Samsung QN90B (LCD) is good for sports, while the Hisense U8G (LCD) is only fair.
The Samsung QN90B offers a higher motion processing score, which means it handles fast-moving scenes better, crucial for watching sports, while it also has a better response time, indicating less motion blur during quick actions. On the other hand, the Hisense U8G, while good for its price range, falls behind in motion handling and response time, which might lead to more noticeable blur in sports, and it has narrower viewing angles, making it less ideal for group viewings.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Samsung QN90B (LCD) to be excellent for news, talk, & other TV, while the Hisense U8G (LCD) is very good.
The Samsung QN90B excels in watching news, talk shows, and other TV programs, thanks to its superior upscaling of lower-resolution content and higher SDR brightness, which enhances visibility in bright rooms. On the other hand, the Hisense U8G is also adept at handling such content with its very good upscaling and SDR brightness, but may not perform as brightly as the Samsung, which might be more noticeable in well-lit environments.

"The QN90B delivers one of the brightest pictures we’ve ever seen, showcasing HDR content better than just about every LCD/LED TV on the market. If all you’re planning on doing is watching cable TV, broadcast channels, and a fair share of streaming shows or movies, the QN90B is sure to impress. All four of the QN90B’s HDMI 2.1 ports support 4K gaming at 120fps a centerpiece feature of the Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5."
