- Which has the better picture?
- The Samsung S95F. QD-OLED gives per-pixel contrast and deeper blacks than the Hisense's LED backlight, and it is brighter and smoother in motion. The Hisense wins on size, not image quality.
- Is the Samsung worth about $1,000 more?
- Only if picture quality matters more than size. At $1,747.95 versus $748.00, you pay for OLED contrast, 120 Hz and HDMI 2.1. If you sit far away and want a big screen, the Hisense is the better value.
- Which is better for gaming?
- The Samsung. It has a 120 Hz panel, HDMI 2.1, ALLM, FreeSync and G-Sync. The Hisense is 60 Hz with a game mode, which is fine for casual play but caps you at 60 fps.
- Does the Hisense have Dolby Vision and the Samsung not?
- Yes. The Hisense supports Dolby Vision, HDR10+ and HLG. The Samsung supports HDR10+ Adaptive, HDR10 and HLG but not Dolby Vision, which matters for Dolby Vision streams.
- Which lasts longer?
- Neither maker publishes a lifespan figure. OLED pixels can dim over many years of heavy use; LED-backlit sets like the Hisense avoid that risk but can develop backlight uniformity issues. Buy on warranty terms.
- Will the Hisense fit my room?
- An 85-inch set needs a wide wall and about 7 to 9 feet of viewing distance for a comfortable picture. The 65-inch Samsung fits smaller rooms and is easier to mount.
