The Hisense U6G is a cost-effective choice that offers a good overall picture quality and performs well in darker rooms, but may not provide the best experience in bright rooms or for sports and gaming. Conversely, the LG G3 is a premium OLED TV with superior picture quality, exceptional performance in bright rooms, and is better suited for watching sports and gaming due to its high refresh rate and advanced technologies. However, it comes at a significantly higher price. If budget is a primary concern and your viewing environment is typically darker, the Hisense U6G will serve you well, but if you seek outstanding viewing quality and performance under various conditions and can afford the higher price, the LG G3 is the superior option.

The LG G3 (OLED) is excellent for movies & TV, while the Hisense U6G (LCD) is good.
The LG G3 offers unparalleled contrast, black uniformity, and local dimming due to its OLED technology that allows for perfect blacks and precise lighting, making it excellent for movies and cinematic TV. Conversely, the Hisense U6G, while good for these purposes with its respectable black uniformity and local dimming, can't match the LG G3's absolute black levels and viewing angle breadth due to its LCD screen with LED backlighting.

The LG G3 (OLED) is very good for sports, while the Hisense U6G (LCD) is only fair.
The LG G3's OLED technology allows for excellent response times and motion processing, which are vital for capturing the fast-paced action of sports without blur, and its ability to handle reflections and wide viewing angles ensures a clear picture from different seats. Contrarily, the Hisense U6G, while good at contrast, falls short in these areas due to its LCD technology, making it less suitable for sports enthusiasts who demand top-tier motion performance and flexibility in viewing position.

The LG G3 (OLED) is very good for gaming, while the Hisense U6G (LCD) is only fair.
The LG G3 outperforms the Hisense U6G in gaming primarily due to its excellent response time and input lag, which are crucial for fast-paced gaming, as well as its higher refresh rate of 120Hz compared to the U6G's 60Hz, resulting in smoother motion. While the Hisense U6G offers good performance with the best input lag, its response time and lower refresh rate make it less ideal for competitive gaming experiences.
