Consider the Samsung QN90C if you're looking for a more budget-friendly option that still delivers excellent overall picture quality, especially in bright rooms, and performs very well for gaming and sports content. It also has great motion processing and a wide color gamut. However, its screen is smaller at 65 inches, and while it has good sound quality, it's not as powerful as the Hisense. Opt for the Hisense UX if you want a larger 85-inch screen and superior performance in dark rooms, which is great for movies. It also has an exceptional contrast ratio and HDR brightness, making it ideal for a cinematic experience. Keep in mind, its viewing angles are not as wide, and it may not handle reflections as well as the Samsung, which could be a drawback in very bright rooms. Additionally, it's pricier and has a less robust sound system despite its larger size. Give Feedback

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Hisense UX (LCD) to be excellent for cartoons & animation, while the Samsung QN90C (LCD) is very good.
The Hisense UX is praised for its excellent color volume and gamut which enhances the vibrancy and range of colors, vital for animation viewing, whereas the Samsung QN90C, while offering very good color reproduction, may not display colors as richly or broadly as the Hisense UX does. Additionally, the Hisense's supreme out-of-the-box colors mean less tweaking is required to achieve an optimal picture, in contrast to the Samsung which also provides strong color accuracy but might need slight adjustments for the best experience.
