Choose the Hisense UX if you want the best bright room performance and superior HDR experience, thanks to its Best in Class bright and dark room scores, and excellent local dimming and color capabilities. It's also larger at 85 inches, making it ideal for an immersive viewing experience in a well-lit space. However, it comes at a high-end price.
Opt for the LG QNED90 if you're looking for a more budget-friendly option with still good overall picture quality, especially for gaming and sports content. While it doesn't match the Hisense UX in bright room performance or HDR brightness, it offers a very good motion processing and good color accuracy out of the box. It's a solid choice if you're not ready to invest in the premium features of the Hisense. Give Feedback
