The Samsung Q60A is a solid budget choice with a smaller screen size of 32 inches, offering good overall picture quality, great for news and animated content, and excels in upscaling and motion processing, making it suitable for casual viewing in a moderately lit room. Its sound quality is decent, and it's a good fit for a smaller space or bedroom. However, it's not ideal for gaming due to poor gaming performance and lacks advanced features like local dimming and wide color gamut.
On the other hand, the Hisense UX is a high-end option with a large 85-inch screen, delivering excellent bright room performance, superior HDR capabilities, and a wide color gamut, which makes it fantastic for movies and sports. It also supports Dolby Vision and has better gaming features, including low input lag and a 120Hz panel. The sound system is more robust, and it has better smart features, including voice commands. However, it comes at a much higher price point and may be overkill for a small room or casual viewing.
Consider the Hisense UX if you prioritize a large screen, vibrant HDR content, and have a bright viewing environment, but be prepared to pay more. Opt for the Samsung Q60A if you're looking for a value-oriented TV for a smaller space and don't require top-tier gaming or HDR performance. Give Feedback
