The Hisense A4H would save you money and is suitable if you have a tight budget and primarily watch in bright rooms where its good reflection handling will be beneficial. However, it falls short in overall picture, gaming, and dark room performance, and it has very limited HDMI ports. On the other hand, the LG C3, while more expensive, offers top-notch performance across the board including outstanding picture quality for all types of content, excellent gaming features, and great dark room performance due to its OLED technology. It also supports advanced HDR formats, like Dolby Vision, which could enhance your viewing experience, especially for movies and TV series. If you can afford the LG C3 and are a varied content viewer who values superior picture quality and features, it may be worth the additional cost. Give Feedback
