If you're on a budget and need a TV with a fair performance for sports content and good gray uniformity that can be used as a monitor, the Hisense A4H might suit your needs; however, its overall picture quality, especially in dark and bright rooms, is poor. On the other hand, the LG A1, while more expensive, offers very good to excellent picture quality across movies, series, sports, and gaming, with superior contrast and black uniformity thanks to its OLED screen, which unfortunately doesn't perform as well in very bright rooms. Keep in mind the LG A1's superior viewing angle, reflection handling, and support for advanced formats like Dolby Vision and HLG that can enhance your movie and gaming experience. Give Feedback
