Our Verdict
Hisense H9F
Samsung RU8000
The Hisense H9F is much better than the Samsung RU8000 for most uses. The Hisense has a decent full array local dimming feature, is much brighter than the Samsung, and has better reflection handling. The Samsung, on the other hand, has better uniformity, and the black frame insertion feature can flicker at 60Hz for 60Hz content, so there are no distracting duplications. The Samsung also has some great gaming features, including support for FreeSync variable refresh rate technology.
