If you're looking for a more budget-friendly option, the Hisense U6G is significantly less expensive and offers good picture quality and deep blacks due to its VA panel, making it suitable for dark room viewing. However, if you prefer smoother motion for sports or gaming and better viewing angles, the LG NANO90, with its higher refresh rate and IPS panel, might be worth the extra investment. Keep in mind that the LG NANO90 will also provide a more consistent picture in bright rooms but won’t have as good contrast or black level performance as the Hisense U6G. Give Feedback

The LG NANO90 (LCD) and Hisense U6G (LCD) are both only fair for sports, though the LG NANO90 (LCD) is somewhat better.
The Hisense U6G has a lower viewing angle and inferior reflections handling, making it less ideal for watching sports in a bright, wide room. Conversely, while the LG NANO90 offers better viewing angles and reflections handling, its motion processing is weaker than the Hisense U6G's, which could result in a less smooth experience during fast sports action.

The Hisense U6G (LCD) is very good for cartoons & animation, while the LG NANO90 (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense U6G delivers superior color right out of the box, and a better color gamut, which translates to vibrant and accurate color reproduction that is critical for animated content. In contrast, the LG NANO90 struggles with these aspects, offering weaker colors initially and a less impressive color range, making it less suitable for cartoons and animations that typically rely on rich and consistent colors.

The Hisense U6G (LCD) is very good for news, talk, & other TV, while the LG NANO90 (LCD) is only fair.
The Hisense U6G is noted for having very good SDR brightness and effective local dimming that enhances contrast, which is particularly beneficial when watching news and talk shows in environments with varying light conditions. On the other hand, the LG NANO90 has lower contrast and less effective local dimming, resulting in fair performance for these types of content; additionally, its colors out of the box are not as accurate as the Hisense U6G, which may affect the viewing experience.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Hisense U6G (LCD) to be good for bright room, while the LG NANO90 (LCD) is only fair.
The Hisense U6G performs well in a bright room because it has higher SDR and HDR brightness levels and handles reflections adequately, ensuring content remains visible in well-lit conditions. In contrast, while the LG NANO90 manages reflections very well, its lower brightness levels in SDR and HDR content make it less suitable for viewing in bright rooms.
