Choose the Samsung QN90B if you watch a variety of content in different lighting conditions and prioritize a top-notch viewing experience, especially for movies and gaming, and don't mind a smaller screen size. It excels in bright and dark rooms, offers excellent color performance, and has superior motion processing, making it ideal for fast-paced content. However, it has average sound quality and reflection handling, which might not be ideal for very bright rooms without additional window treatments or external sound systems. Opt for the Hisense UX if you want a larger screen and are particularly interested in gaming and animation, as it provides a similar gaming performance but with a better contrast ratio, which enhances the depth of the images. It also has superior sound quality with a more powerful speaker setup, which could save you from purchasing additional audio equipment. However, it's less suited for sports and news content and has a narrower viewing angle, which means the picture quality degrades when viewed from the side. It's also worth noting that it's a newer model, which might offer more recent technology advancements, but at a higher price point. Give Feedback

The Samsung QN90B (LCD) is good for sports, while the Hisense UX (LCD) is only fair.
The Samsung QN90B outperforms the Hisense UX in sports viewing mainly due to its superior response time and motion processing which ensures less blur during fast-moving scenes, and better handling of reflections, allowing for clearer visibility in bright rooms.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Hisense UX (LCD) to be excellent for cartoons & animation, while the Samsung QN90B (LCD) is very good.
The Hisense UX is excellent for watching cartoons and animation due to strong performance in color gamut and color volume, ensuring vibrant hues and broad color ranges are well-represented. In contrast, the Samsung QN90B, while very good at displaying cartoons and animation, has slightly superior colors right out of the box, which means colors may look more accurate without adjustment, but doesn't match the Hisense in overall color performance.

"The QN90B delivers one of the brightest pictures we’ve ever seen, showcasing HDR content better than just about every LCD/LED TV on the market. If all you’re planning on doing is watching cable TV, broadcast channels, and a fair share of streaming shows or movies, the QN90B is sure to impress. All four of the QN90B’s HDMI 2.1 ports support 4K gaming at 120fps a centerpiece feature of the Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5."
