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

Currently ranking as the fourth largest vendor in terms of sales volume, Hisense aims to capture a wide range of TV budget segments. They offer exceptional value with TVs that often outperform their competitors at similar price points, making them a compelling choice for consumers. In the US, they use Google TV as their smart TV software which provides the largest app selection and a very modern user interface, however it is not as user friendly as the software from other vendors.
