If you're looking for the most affordable option and can compromise on picture quality, the Hisense A4H might suit your needs, but keep in mind it generally doesn't perform well across most content types, including movies, sports, gaming, and especially not in bright or dark rooms. On the other hand, if you can spend a bit more, the LG UP8000 offers slightly better picture quality, a better response time for gaming, and better compatibility with various HDR formats, including HLG and Dolby Vision which can enhance your viewing experience. The LG also features one extra HDMI port, provides better upscaling and motion processing, and supports Dolby Atmos for improved sound quality, though neither TV has particularly great speakers. If you often use your TV in a bright room, both TVs only offer fair performance against reflections, and if you're planning to use it as a monitor, the LG UP8000 would be the better choice due to its higher Chroma 4:4:4 support and better score for monitor use.

How the Hisense A4H (LCD) and the LG UP8000 (LCD) compare to other TVs
"What we liked on this one was the very sharp 4K images it could display, its good up-scaling capabilities, nice viewing angles and extremely low input lag. Lastly the new webOS 6.0 is great even if it needs some time to get your bearings while the redesigned Magic Remote feels fresh even if functionality remains the same."
