Our Verdict
Hisense U8/U8N
LG QNED90T
The Hisense U8/U8N is better than the LG QNED90T. The Hisense has better contrast, so it displays deeper blacks that are approaching what you get from an OLED. The Hisense is the brighter TV overall, so it displays brighter highlights in HDR and overcomes more glare in a bright room. When it comes to colors, the Hisense has the edge due to its wider color gamut and better color volume. The Hisense also has a faster response time and supports 144Hz, so it's the better option for most gamers.
