The LG A1 (OLED) is very good for movies & TV, while the Hisense U6H (LCD) is good.
The LG A1 OLED provides superior contrast, perfect black uniformity, and wider viewing angles, which enhance the cinematic experience with deeper blacks and consistent colors, but its color volume is just good, not excellent. Conversely, the Hisense U6H LCD has very good colors out of the box and a good color volume, making it capable of vibrant and varied color reproduction, but it falls short of the LG A1's performance in contrast and black uniformity.

The LG A1 (OLED) is very good for sports, while the Hisense U6H (LCD) is only fair.
The LG A1 OLED has an excellent response time and very good motion processing, which results in smoother fast-moving scenes, crucial for watching sports, and it handles reflections better, thus offering clear visibility even in well-lit environments. On the other hand, the Hisense U6H LCD, while offering wider viewing angles that maintain image accuracy at various seating positions, does not perform as well in terms of motion processing and response time, leading to a less ideal experience for fast-paced sports action.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Hisense U6H (LCD) to be good for bright room, while the LG A1 (OLED) is only fair.
The Hisense U6H has higher brightness levels for standard dynamic range content and decent reflection handling, making it suitable for bright rooms. Conversely, the LG A1, though offering excellent reflection handling because of its OLED panel, has only fair brightness levels for both SDR and HDR content, which could make it less ideal for well-lit environments.
