If you're on a budget, the Hisense R6G is less expensive and offers good contrast which is beneficial for watching in dark rooms; however, it's not as well-suited for bright rooms or for varied content like sports and gaming, with poor performance in these areas. Conversely, the LG UP8000, while costlier, has better viewing angles, making it a good fit for a room where viewers sit at different angles to the TV. The LG UP8000 also excels in upscaling and response time, meaning it could provide a slight edge for gaming and watching high-motion content despite its overall poor gaming performance. Neither are strong contenders for bright room viewing or high-quality gaming experiences. Both lack in sound quality, so an external sound system might be necessary for better audio. Give Feedback

Stratos Kampourogiannis | July 2021
"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."
