Our Verdict

Samsung Q70/Q70R QLED

Hisense H9F

The Samsung Q70/Q70R QLED is slightly better than the Hisense H9F. The Q70R has better dark room performance, thanks to its exceptional black uniformity. The Q70R is also somewhat better for gaming, because of its low input lag and native FreeSync support. The H9F, on the other hand, has a faster response time and can display slightly crisper motion.
