If you're looking for a TV that excels in a darker environment and offers great picture quality for movies and a superior gaming experience, the Samsung S95C, with its OLED panel, is an excellent choice, though it comes at a higher price. However, it's not as bright as some LCD TVs, which might reduce visibility in very bright rooms. On the other hand, the Hisense U8H offers a good all-around performance for various content types, including sports and daytime viewing, due to a brighter screen, and it costs less. Its LCD panel won't deliver the perfect blacks of an OLED but offers better brightness in sunny rooms. Give Feedback

The Samsung S95C (OLED) is excellent for movies & TV, while the Hisense U8H (LCD) is very good.
The Samsung S95C excels in viewing movies & cinematic TV because it has perfect black uniformity and an exceptional contrast ratio due to its OLED screen, which is essential for dark room viewing; however, though the Hisense U8H has very good black uniformity and contrast with its miniLED panel and local dimming, it doesn't match the perfect blacks of the OLED. Also, both TVs are equipped with features like wide color gamuts and Dolby Vision support that contribute to vibrant colors and enhanced viewing experience, with the Samsung S95C potentially offering a wider viewing angle and better gray uniformity which benefits group watching scenarios.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Samsung S95C (OLED) to be excellent for news, talk, & other TV, while the Hisense U8H (LCD) is very good.
The Hisense U8H provides very good upscaling and excellent SDR brightness which are vital for watching news and TV programs in well-lit rooms, while the Samsung S95C goes a step further with an excellent out-of-the-box color experience and a broader color gamut, making it exceptional for the same content. However, the higher contrast capability of the OLED S95C will be particularly appreciable in darker room conditions compared to the Hisense U8H's LCD display.

"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"
