Our Verdict
Samsung QN80F
Hisense U8QG
The Hisense U8QG is a much better TV than the Samsung QN80F. The picture quality on the Hisense is much, much better thanks to its far superior local dimming feature, resulting in much better contrast. The Hisense also gets brighter, and it has much better color reproduction. The only real downside to the Hisense is for home theater purists, as the Hisense doesn't track the PQ EOTF well at all, and almost all scenes are brighter than they should be.
