Choose the Hisense UX if you prioritize exceptional overall picture quality, especially in bright rooms and for gaming, and are willing to invest in a high-end price. It offers superior contrast, brightness, and color performance, along with excellent motion handling and upscaling capabilities, making it ideal for movies and sports. However, it has only fair sound quality and doesn't support Dolby Vision or Atmos. Opt for the Samsung CU7000 if budget is a concern and you're looking for a TV suitable for a well-lit room with decent picture quality for general viewing, including movies and sports. It's also a fair choice for gaming due to its low input lag. Keep in mind, it has a narrower viewing angle and average sound quality, without advanced audio formats like Dolby Atmos. Give Feedback

The Samsung CU7000 (LCD) and Hisense UX (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
For watching sports, the Hisense UX offers very good response time for clear motion but may struggle with reflections in bright rooms, whereas the Samsung CU7000 has fair response time which might result in some motion blur but also handles reflections poorly, making neither ideal for well-lit environments. When considering viewing angles, the Hisense UX is better suited for groups due to wider angles, but the Samsung CU7000's more restrictive angles could limit the viewing experience to more centered positions.
