Consider the Samsung QN90C if you're looking for a more budget-friendly option that still delivers excellent overall picture quality, especially in bright rooms, and has great gaming performance. It's also a solid choice for sports content and has superior motion processing. However, the viewing angles are not as wide, which might not be ideal if you have a large seating area. Opt for the Hisense UX if you desire a larger screen size and prioritize a top-notch movie-watching experience, even in dark rooms. It offers better contrast and a more impressive color gamut, making it ideal for immersive viewing. Keep in mind that it's pricier and its performance in bright rooms isn't as strong as the Samsung, so it might not be the best for sunny spaces. Additionally, its sound quality is superior, which could be a deciding factor if you're particular about audio. Give Feedback

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Hisense UX (LCD) to be excellent for cartoons & animation, while the Samsung QN90C (LCD) is very good.
The Hisense UX is praised for its excellent color volume and gamut which enhances the vibrancy and range of colors, vital for animation viewing, whereas the Samsung QN90C, while offering very good color reproduction, may not display colors as richly or broadly as the Hisense UX does. Additionally, the Hisense's supreme out-of-the-box colors mean less tweaking is required to achieve an optimal picture, in contrast to the Samsung which also provides strong color accuracy but might need slight adjustments for the best experience.
