Hisense U7K [U7, U75K] vs Samsung QN90C/QN90CD QLED Side-by-Side TV Comparison

The Samsung QN90C/QN90CD QLED and the Hisense U7K are similar TVs, although the Samsung has a slight edge over the Hisense. The Samsung gets brighter in HDR and SDR and has a better local dimming solution than the Hisense, giving it better contrast with less blooming. The Samsung also follows the content creator's intent more closely in HDR than the Hisense does. The Samsung has a wider viewing angle than the Hisense, so it's the better TV when hosting large parties as the image fades much less when viewed from the sides. The Hisense does have better image processing than the Samsung, especially when watching low-bitrate content from streaming apps, and it also supports DTS audio formats and Dolby Vision HDR, both of which the Samsung doesn't have.
