The Samsung QN90B (LCD) is good for sports, while the Hisense U8H (LCD) is only fair.
The Samsung QN90B is considered better for watching sports than the Hisense U8H due to its superior motion processing capabilities, which provide smoother images during fast-moving scenes, and its wider viewing angles that maintain image accuracy from different seating positions. Additionally, the Samsung QN90B handles reflections more effectively, making it more suitable for well-lit environments, but both TVs have comparable gray uniformity which is important for displaying sports content without distracting areas on the screen.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Samsung QN90B (LCD) to be excellent for news, talk, & other TV, while the Hisense U8H (LCD) is very good.
The Hisense U8H boasts excellent upscaling and colors out of the box, meaning it depicts standard-definition news and talk show content effectively and with vibrant colors upon setup, which is key for non-4K content. The Samsung QN90B, while also offering excellent upscaling, provides the best initial color setup, resulting in a slightly better out-of-the-box viewing experience for the same type of content, with less need for color adjustments.

The Samsung QN90B (LCD) and Hisense U8H (LCD) are both best in class for bright room.
The Hisense U8H offers high SDR and HDR brightness which is excellent for bright rooms, and handles reflections very well; however, its color volume is not as expansive as the Samsung QN90B, which also offers equally impressive brightness levels with superior reflections handling. The Samsung QN90B provides a wider color gamut translating to more vivid colors, but the Hisense U8H has a slightly better contrast ratio, enhancing deep black levels even in well-lit environments.

"Hisense is over here making the best TVs for the majority of average families. U8H is a juiced-up utility knife of a television that manages to do a lot of things pretty well. The brightness this TV is capable of pushing out means I can see everything going on in any video game I’m playing regardless of what time of day it is"

"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."
