The Hisense U8H is typically much less expensive than the Samsung S95B and offers good overall picture quality, is great for gaming, and performs well in both dark and bright rooms. However, its viewing angles are limited, so it's not ideal for wide seating arrangements. On the other hand, the Samsung S95B is a premium option with superior picture quality, excellent gaming performance, and wide viewing angles, making it suitable for large gatherings. It also has better sound quality due to its superior speakers. But, it's more costly and doesn't perform as well as the Hisense U8H in bright rooms. If budget is a concern and you need a TV that handles bright rooms well, go for the Hisense U8H. If you prefer top-notch picture quality, wide viewing angles, and can afford a higher price, the Samsung S95B would be your best choice. Give Feedback

The Samsung S95B (OLED) is very good for sports, while the Hisense U8H (LCD) is only fair.
The Samsung S95B OLED provides better performance for watching sports, thanks to its excellent response time and motion processing which lead to clear images during fast-moving scenes and a wide viewing angle suitable for larger groups. In contrast, the Hisense U8H LCD has a good response time but struggles with motion processing and has a narrower viewing angle, which could result in less clear images during dynamic sports content, especially for viewers sitting off to the side.

"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"

"Samsung's S95B is easily one of the best high-end 4K TVs on the market. S95B is able to achieve industry-leading color performance and a brighter screen than typical OLEDs. In fact, the display's OLED color coverage is nearly in a class of its own. The S95B is a beautiful TV, even when it's off. The display has a pleasing, minimalist design with nearly bezel-less borders and an impressively thin profile."
