Our Verdict

Samsung Q60/Q60R QLED

Hisense H9F

The Hisense H9F is a better TV than the Samsung Q60/Q60R QLED. It has local dimming and better reflection handling. It's also much better for HDR content due to its wider color gamut and ability to get significantly brighter. On the other hand, the Samsung has more accurate colors out-of-the-box.
