The Hisense U8G is a more affordable option with great picture quality and fast response times, suitable for movies and gaming; however, its performance in very bright rooms may not be as good as the Samsung QN95B. The Samsung QN95B, while more expensive, offers superior brightness and viewing angles, and features a One Connect Box for a cleaner installation, making it a better choice if you prioritize a premium experience in a variety of lighting conditions. Both models are equipped with advanced features like high refresh rates and HDMI 2.1 support, but the Samsung model stands out with its miniLED technology and slightly better gaming compatibility features.
