Choosing between the Hisense U6G and LG G1 largely depends on the value you place on picture quality versus cost. If budget is a primary concern and you mostly watch TV in a well-lit room, then the Hisense U6G is a sensible, more affordable choice. However, if you're looking for superior picture quality with deeper blacks and more vibrant colors for movies and gaming, and the higher price isn't a deterrent, the LG G1 OLED will offer a much better viewing experience. The G1 is also better suited for darker rooms but note that it doesn't come with a regular stand and is designed to be wall-mounted. Give Feedback
