Choose the Samsung S90C for its superior picture quality, especially in dark rooms, and excellent gaming performance due to its OLED technology, which offers perfect blacks and wide viewing angles. It's also more affordable than the Hisense UX. However, if you prioritize a larger screen for a bright room and don't mind a higher price, the Hisense UX with its 85-inch size and excellent bright room performance might be the better choice. The Hisense's miniLED FALD technology provides high brightness and good HDR performance, making it great for well-lit spaces. Keep in mind that the Hisense has a fair dark room performance and narrower viewing angles compared to the Samsung. Give Feedback

The Samsung S90C (OLED) is excellent for movies & TV, while the Hisense UX (LCD) is very good.
The Samsung S90C (OLED) offers exceptional picture quality for movie enthusiasts due to its perfect blacks, excellent wide viewing angles, and superior color volume, making it well-suited for cinematic experiences. Meanwhile, the Hisense UX (LCD) also delivers very good performance with strong contrast and effective local dimming, but its advantage of having better reflection handling and peak brightness makes it better suited for well-lit environments compared to the OLED, which excels in darker settings.

The Samsung S90C (OLED) is very good for sports, while the Hisense UX (LCD) is only fair.
The Samsung S90C (OLED) excels in watching sports largely due to its superior motion processing and response time, which decrease blur in fast-moving scenes, and its top-notch reflections handling and wide viewing angles make it ideal for group watching even in bright rooms. Conversely, the Hisense UX (LCD) has lower motion processing capability and merely very good (as opposed to the best) response time, which might result in a less smooth experience during sports; plus, it has more limited viewing angles, affecting visibility from off-center seats.

The Samsung S90C (OLED) is best in class for gaming, while the Hisense UX (LCD) is very good.
The Samsung S90C, with its OLED technology, has superior response time and input lag, making it particularly well-suited for fast-paced gaming where every millisecond counts. In contrast, the Hisense UX, while offering a very good gaming experience with its LCD screen, does not match the Samsung's performance in these areas, which are critical for competitive gaming.

The Hisense UX (LCD) is best in class for bright room, while the Samsung S90C (OLED) is very good.
The Hisense UX has a higher SDR and HDR brightness level which makes it better for viewing in bright rooms; however, it has merely a 'Very Good' reflections handling, as compared to the Samsung S90C which offers 'Best' reflections handling. The S90C, being an OLED, has a superior contrast and broader color volume and gamut, but in brightly lit environments, the exceptional brightness levels of the Hisense UX can be a more crucial factor.
