The Samsung S95B OLED offers superior picture quality with excellent dark room performance and wide viewing angles, making it ideal for movies and TV shows, but it's pricier and may not be as bright in well-lit rooms compared to the Hisense UX LCD. The Hisense UX, with its larger screen size, is better suited for bright rooms and has a more competitive price, but it falls short in dark room quality and viewing angles, which might affect the movie-watching experience. The Hisense also has a less robust color performance and lacks the sleek cable management of Samsung's One Connect Box. If immersive movie and series viewing is your priority and budget allows, the Samsung is the way to go; however, for a brighter room and cost savings, the Hisense UX is a solid choice. Give Feedback

The Samsung S95B (OLED) is very good for sports, while the Hisense UX (LCD) is only fair.
The Samsung S95B excels in sports viewing due to its superior motion processing and wider viewing angles, ensuring clear images even when action is fast and the TV is viewed from different angles. In contrast, the Hisense UX has a slower response time and narrower viewing angles, making it less ideal for fast-paced sports, although its reflections handling and gray uniformity are still good for a fair sports viewing experience.

The Samsung S95B (OLED) is excellent for news, talk, & other TV, while the Hisense UX (LCD) is very good.
