If you're looking for a more budget-friendly option, the Hisense U6G (LCD) would be a considerable choice, especially if your viewing content includes mixed usage like movies, TV shows, and sports, and you will be using it in a moderately lit room. However, for a premium watching experience with superior picture quality, particularly with true blacks and high contrast ratios, the LG A2 (OLED) is better suited, though at a higher cost. The OLED technology of the LG A2 offers better performance in dark room viewing, which is ideal for movies and cinematic content, but it may be at a risk of permanent burn-in if static images are displayed for long periods, unlike the Hisense U6G. If you often play video games, both TVs provide adequate gaming features, but they may not be the best choice for competitive gaming due to their refresh rate. In bright rooms, the Hisense might perform slightly better owing to its LCD screen handling reflections well, compared to the LG A2. Give Feedback

The LG A2 (OLED) is excellent for movies & TV, while the Hisense U6G (LCD) is good.
The LG A2 (OLED) is excellent for watching movies and cinematic TV because it has perfect black uniformity and contrast, which are very important for a cinematic experience, and it also excels in other somewhat important aspects like color accuracy out of the box and wider viewing angles. The Hisense U6G (LCD), while still good, has lower performance in these key areas, particularly in its inferior black uniformity and viewing angles, but offers strong local dimming and color volume which can still make for a good movie-watching experience.

The LG A2 (OLED) is very good for sports, while the Hisense U6G (LCD) is only fair.
The LG A2 OLED has excellent response time and very good motion processing which are pivotal for sports viewing, and its reflections handling is very good, ensuring better visibility in bright rooms and wide viewing angles for larger groups. The Hisense U6G LCD has a good response time and fair motion processing which might result in some motion blur during fast-paced sports, and its fair reflection handling and limited viewing angles could reduce the clarity and visibility for off-angle viewing and in well-lit environments.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers LG A2 (OLED) to be good for gaming, while the Hisense U6G (LCD) is only fair.
The LG A2 OLED TV provides a better gaming experience with its excellent response time and very good input lag, ensuring smoother play in fast-paced games, whereas the Hisense U6G, while still good, falls short due to its slightly slower response time and input lag. Additionally, both TVs have a 60Hz refresh rate, but OLED technology in the LG A2 generally offers faster response times than LCDs like the Hisense U6G, which is especially noticeable in gaming.

How the Hisense U6G (LCD) and the LG A2 (OLED) compare to other TVs
"Movie fans will find a lot here to love, and the A2 series’ low prices compared with other OLED TVs will keep their wallets happy. Images had the deep blacks and detailed shadows typical of the best 4K TVs, while colors looked both fully saturated and clean. Also, the A2’s out-of-box picture performance in Filmmaker mode was mostly accurate, requiring only slight adjustments to optimize brightness, color, and contrast."
