Our Verdict

Samsung NU8000

Hisense H9E Plus

The Samsung NU8000 is better than the Hisense H9E Plus. The NU8000 is much brighter in SDR and can overcome glare in a bright room. The NU8000 is a lot brighter in HDR and bright highlights stand out better. The NU8000 is more feature-packed than the H9E Plus; it can reduce the backlight flicker to improve motion clarity and it supports VRR and auto low latency mode, perfect for gamers.
