If you value gaming features and lower price, the Hisense U8H could be a great choice for you. However, it may not be as suitable for very bright rooms as the Samsung QN95B, which handles reflections better and has higher brightness capabilities. The Samsung QN95B also offers slightly better sound quality and has true 144Hz refresh rate, which could benefit gaming but it comes at a higher cost. Both TVs have great overall picture quality and support for HDR content, but if Dolby Vision is important for you, the Hisense U8H supports it, while the Samsung QN95B does not. Give Feedback

The Samsung QN95B (LCD) is good for sports, while the Hisense U8H (LCD) is only fair.
The Samsung QN95B has better motion processing and wider viewing angles, giving it an edge for action-packed sports watching compared to the Hisense U8H, which falls short in both these very important areas. The Hisense U8H, however, does manage reflections nearly as well as the Samsung does, and the slightly poorer gray uniformity of the Samsung QN95B is less critical but still worth considering for a uniform playing field image.

The Hisense U8H (LCD) and Samsung QN95B (LCD) are both very good for movies & TV.
The Hisense U8H delivers a very high contrast ratio and effective local dimming, which means deeper blacks and a more pronounced contrast in movies and cinematic content, making it an excellent choice for dark room viewing. The Samsung QN95B, while having slightly lower contrast, compensates with better viewing angles and superior color accuracy out of the box, ensuring a vibrant and consistent image for broader seating arrangements and immediate enjoyment without the need for calibration.

The Hisense U8H is noted for its very good colors right out of the box, a very good color gamut, and an excellent color volume, making it suited for animated content which often uses a wide array of bright and varied colors.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Samsung QN95B (LCD) to be excellent for news, talk, & other TV, while the Hisense U8H (LCD) is very good.
The Hisense U8H is very good for watching news and TV programs because it has excellent SDR brightness, which makes the picture stand out in bright rooms, and very good upscaling that enhances lower resolution content. On the other hand, the Samsung QN95B is excellent for these types of content due to its superior upscaling capability, which delivers clearer images from non-HD sources, and its 'best' SDR brightness rating, which ensures the screen remains vivid 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"

"Picture quality is fantastic truly mind-bogglingly good. It also plays into the screen’s gorgeous color performance, as spectacularly rich, vibrant tones now look both more consistently natural and balanced. With its extreme brightness and vibrant Quantum Dot color system, the QN95B delivers a dazzling demonstration of just how much of a difference HDR can make to picture quality."
