The Samsung S95C OLED offers superior picture quality, especially in dark rooms, and is exceptional for gaming and watching movies with its perfect blacks and wide color gamut. It's also more future-proof with advanced features like a 144Hz screen and HDMI 2.1 compatibility. However, it's not as bright as the Hisense UX, which means it might not stand out as much in a well-lit space. The Hisense UX, on the other hand, is an LCD with miniLED backlighting that delivers excellent brightness for use in bright rooms and has a larger screen size option at 85 inches. It's also very good for sports and gaming, though it falls short in dark room performance and viewing angles compared to the Samsung. If you prioritize a brighter image and have a space with lots of light, the Hisense could be the way to go, but for the best overall picture quality and a more immersive experience, especially in low-light conditions, the Samsung is the better choice.

The Samsung S95C (OLED) is excellent for movies & TV, while the Hisense UX (LCD) is very good.
The Hisense UX, being an LCD TV with local dimming, offers very good contrast, excellent black uniformity, and high SDR brightness making it great for watching movies in various lighting conditions, while its colors are good right out of the box.

The Samsung S95C (OLED) is very good for sports, while the Hisense UX (LCD) is only fair.
The Samsung S95C (OLED) delivers a superior sports viewing experience primarily due to its outstanding response time and motion processing performance, ensuring clear images during fast action without blur. In contrast, the Hisense UX (LCD) lags in these areas, resulting in a fair performance for sports watching, and struggles more with fast-moving content and might not handle reflections as effectively as the Samsung S95C with its best-in-class reflections handling capability.

The Samsung S95C (OLED) is excellent for news, talk, & other TV, while the Hisense UX (LCD) is very good.
The Hisense UX excels in upscaling lower-resolution content and delivering a bright SDR image making it suitable for news and TV programs, but its colors out of the box and contrast are less impressive than the Samsung S95C. The Samsung S95C, while more expensive, provides exceptional out-of-the-box color accuracy, a wider color gamut, and outstanding contrast, elevating the viewing experience for news, talk shows, and other TV programs especially in darker settings.

The Hisense UX (LCD) is best in class for bright room, while the Samsung S95C (OLED) is excellent.
The Hisense UX, with its higher SDR and HDR brightness and very good reflection handling, is well-suited for bright rooms, but its contrast and color volume, while excellent, are less optimal than the Samsung S95C which offers better color gamut and color volume. The Samsung S95C also has the best reflection handling, making it excellent for bright rooms too, with superb contrast enhancing the viewing experience, though its brightness capabilities are slightly lower than the Hisense UX.
