Consider the Samsung Q70A if you're looking for a more budget-friendly option that still delivers good overall picture quality, especially for gaming and sports content. It's also a solid choice for a mixed-use environment, performing well in both dark and bright rooms, though it struggles a bit with wide viewing angles and reflections. The sound quality is decent, and it has low input lag, which is great for gaming. On the other hand, if you want a larger screen and superior performance, particularly in a bright room, and you're willing to invest more, the Hisense UX is the way to go. Its standout features include exceptional SDR and HDR brightness, making it an excellent choice for well-lit spaces. It also offers better color accuracy and a wider color gamut, enhancing the viewing experience for movies and animation. The Hisense UX comes with better speakers and supports advanced audio formats, providing an immersive sound experience. However, it may not be as accessible as the Samsung, and its larger size might not suit all living spaces. Give Feedback

The Hisense UX (LCD) is very good for movies & TV, while the Samsung Q70A (LCD) is only fair.
The Hisense UX excels in watching movies and cinematic TV primarily due to its exceptional local dimming feature and black uniformity, which are crucial for deep black scenes typical in movies, and its color volume is also top-notch, enriching the viewing experience with vibrant and varied colors. In contrast, the Samsung Q70A falls short in these areas with no local dimming capability and lesser black uniformity, potentially leading to less impressive dark scenes and a slightly washed-out picture quality for cinematic content.

The Samsung Q70A (LCD) and Hisense UX (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
For watching sports, the Hisense UX has a lower motion processing capability, which means fast-moving content may not look as smooth, while the Samsung Q70A has narrower viewing angles, so the picture quality may drop for viewers not sitting directly in front of the TV. Both TVs handle reflections fairly well, but the Samsung's performance in a bright room might be less ideal due to its poorer reflections handling compared to the Hisense UX, and both have decent response times, which is important for fast action in sports.
