If you want a high-quality TV and are willing to invest in top-tier performance, particularly for dark-room viewing, gaming, and watching movies, the LG G1 OLED is a superior choice. It excels in giving deep blacks and vibrant colors, and handles reflections better, making it a good pick for rooms with some lights on. Moreover, it has low input lag and quick response time for gaming.
On the other hand, the Hisense U6H is much more budget-friendly and still provides decent overall picture quality. It performs well enough for general TV-watching such as news or cartoons and supports a variety of HDR formats. Keep in mind, though, that it may not be as good as the LG G1 in handling reflections or producing as high-quality an image in bright rooms.
Each of these TVs has four HDMI ports. The LG G1 offers a better built-in sound system and is a slightly better choice if you're planning to use your TV as a computer monitor. Give Feedback
