Samsung S90D/S90DD OLED (QD-OLED)
Hisense U8/U8N
The Samsung S90D/S90DD OLED is better than the Hisense U8/U8N in most contexts, although the Hisense does have its advantages. While the Samsung is a very bright OLED, it still can't match the Hisense in that aspect, especially in SDR. This makes the Hisense a better product for brighter rooms or if you tend to play or watch very bright content most of the time. Otherwise, the Samsung model has the edge in picture quality due to its nearly infinite contrast, wider color gamut, and more accurate image. It also has an almost perfect viewing angle, while the Hisense's viewing angle is rather narrow. Finally, the Samsung is far better for gaming due to its nearly instantaneous response time and four 4k @ 144Hz HDMI ports; the Hisense is limited to two 4k @ 144Hz HDMI ports.

I’m interested in this comparison for a bright room I have. No direct sunlight on the tv but lots of big windows. I have two general questions.
My biggest concern is the longevity of Hisense. I hear a lot of noise about poor reliability with Hisense but not sure if that’s a serious concern.
My other question is whether the extra cost for the Samsung is worth it. I’m looking at $800 for the 55" hisense or $1,400 for the 55" S90D. Is it really $600 better? I can afford it, just don’t want to spend money if it won’t be a clear and obvious benefit.
