Choose the Samsung QN90A if you prioritize overall picture quality, including a stellar performance in dark rooms and excellent gaming capabilities. It also excels in bright rooms and offers better motion processing, making it ideal for sports and fast-paced content. Although it's pricier, the Samsung provides superior color accuracy and a wider color gamut right out of the box. Its local dimming feature is fair, enhancing contrast for a more immersive viewing experience, and it supports essential HDR formats. The sound quality is very good, and it comes with a decent speaker setup. Opt for the Hisense UX if you want a larger screen size and are looking for the best-in-class HDR brightness and color volume, which makes it stand out for movies and shows. It also has an exceptional contrast ratio, though its performance in dark rooms is only fair. The Hisense has a wider range of voice command accessibility and better reflection handling, making it suitable for well-lit spaces. However, its viewing angles are narrower, and color accuracy out of the box isn't as high as the Samsung's. It also has a higher input lag, which might be a consideration for gaming. The Hisense is typically more expensive, but it offers advanced features like up to DTS Digital Surround sound and supports more HDR formats, including Dolby Vision and HLG. Give Feedback

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Samsung QN90A (LCD) to be good for sports, while the Hisense UX (LCD) is only fair.
The Samsung QN90A is better suited for sports due to its superior motion processing, which reduces motion blur and makes fast-moving content clearer, and because it has a higher response time speed, ensuring smoother transitions between frames. The Hisense UX, while fair for sports, falls short in these areas and may display more motion blur and less fluid motion in comparison, although its very good reflection handling is advantageous in bright rooms.
