Choosing between the Samsung QN95B and the Hisense UX depends on your priorities. The Samsung, priced in the upper mid-range, offers a cleaner installation with its One Connect Box, making it a great choice for a tidy setup. It excels in bright room viewing, has superior local dimming, and delivers excellent motion processing, which is ideal for sports and gaming. However, its viewing angle is limited, so it's best for direct viewing.
The Hisense UX, on the other hand, is a high-end option that boasts a larger 85-inch screen, making it fantastic for an immersive experience, especially with movies and series. It also supports voice commands for convenience. While it matches the Samsung in bright room performance and gaming capabilities, it falls short in dark room performance and has a lower color volume, which might affect the richness of colors in some content. Additionally, its sound quality is not as impressive as its picture quality.
In summary, if you prioritize a clean setup, superior performance in bright rooms, and have a space where viewers will be directly in front of the TV, the Samsung QN95B is the way to go. However, if you're looking for a larger screen for a more cinematic experience and can compromise slightly on color performance and sound, the Hisense UX would be suitable. Give Feedback
