The Hisense U6G is typically much less expensive and offers very good overall performance, making it a great value choice. However, OLED screens can be more susceptible to permanent burn-in with static images and are not as bright as LCDs, which may be a concern if you watch a lot of news or sports, or if the TV will be placed in a bright room.

The LG A1 (OLED) is very good for sports, while the Hisense U6G (LCD) is only fair.
The LG A1 boasts superior performance when watching sports due to its excellent response time and very good handling of reflections, both essential for clear and enjoyable sports viewing. In contrast, the Hisense U6G has a fair response time and reflections handling which, while adequate, may not provide as crisp and distraction-free an experience as the LG A1, particularly in brighter environments.

The Hisense U6G (LCD) is good for bright room, while the LG A1 (OLED) is only fair.
The Hisense U6G provides a very good SDR brightness and good HDR brightness which are important for clear television viewing in bright rooms, while the LG A1, with its fair rating in both brightness categories, might not be as visible in well-lit conditions. However, the LG A1 has excellent reflection handling, meaning it will deal better with direct light sources on the screen compared to the fair reflection handling of the Hisense U6G.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers LG A1 (OLED) to be good for gaming, while the Hisense U6G (LCD) is only fair.
The Hisense U6G has a good response time and the best input lag, which is suitable for gaming, but the LG A1's excellent response time and equally best input lag offer a smoother gaming experience, particularly for fast-paced games. Although both TVs have 60Hz refresh rates, the superior response time of the OLED screen in the LG A1 will generally provide a clearer image with less blur in fast-moving scenes compared to the LCD technology in the Hisense U6G.
