The Hisense U6H is much less expensive and suitable for budget-conscious customers, but it doesn't match the LG C1's superior picture quality that comes from its OLED technology, which is especially evident when viewing content in dark rooms. For movies and high-end gaming, the LG C1 excels due to its better contrast and black levels. If you watch in a bright room, the Hisense might perform well enough but won't deliver the same vibrant colors and deep blacks as the LG. The trade-off is in spending more for considerable improvements in picture quality, especially for cinematic and gaming experiences. Conversely, the Hisense offers respectable performance at a more accessible price point. Give Feedback

The LG C1 (OLED) is very good for movies & TV, while the Hisense U6H (LCD) is good.
The LG C1 boasts perfect contrast and impeccable black uniformity, offering a premium viewing experience for movies, especially in dark rooms where these aspects are vital. In contrast, the Hisense U6H provides a good overall movie-watching experience with decent contrast and local dimming capabilities but falls short of the LG C1's superior performance in delivering true blacks and wide viewing angles.

The LG C1 (OLED) is very good for sports, while the Hisense U6H (LCD) is only fair.
The LG C1 OLED TV excels in sports viewing due to its superior response time and motion processing, which virtually eliminate motion blur, and its nearly perfect viewing angles allow for clear viewing from any seat. In contrast, the Hisense U6H LCD struggles with a poorer response time and motion processing, which can lead to more motion blur in fast-paced sports; its reflection handling is less effective, and the viewing experience can degrade from side angles.
