The Hisense U6K is less expensive and generally offers solid picture quality, good for bright rooms, and has lower input lag for gaming. However, it's not as strong in dark room performance and its viewing angles are limited.
The LG A2, though pricier, provides superior picture quality especially in dark rooms due to its OLED display, and better viewing angles. It may not be as bright as the Hisense U6K, which might make it less ideal for very sunny rooms. Give Feedback

The LG A2 (OLED) is excellent for movies & TV, while the Hisense U6K (LCD) is good.
The LG A2 excels in contrast, local dimming, and black uniformity, thanks to its OLED technology, which allows individual pixels to turn off completely for perfect blacks, enhancing movie and cinematic TV experience. The Hisense U6K, while good, has lower performance in these areas because its LCD screen with miniLED backlighting can't achieve the same level of black uniformity and contrast as the LG A2, making it less ideal for dark-room viewing where these factors are critical.

The LG A2 (OLED) is very good for sports, while the Hisense U6K (LCD) is only fair.
The LG A2 offers superior motion processing and response time, which are crucial for watching sports, resulting in less blur during fast-moving scenes and quick transitions. In contrast, while the Hisense U6K is suitable for sports viewing, it doesn't handle motion and rapid changes as smoothly, which can be important when tracking fast-paced action on the screen.

The LG A2 (OLED) is good for gaming, while the Hisense U6K (LCD) is only fair.
The LG A2 offers an excellent response time, reducing blur during fast gaming sequences and providing very good input lag for snappier game controls, while the Hisense U6K, despite having a good input lag, falls short with only a fair response time, which means more motion blur in comparison.

"Movie fans will find a lot here to love, and the A2 series’ low prices compared with other OLED TVs will keep their wallets happy. Images had the deep blacks and detailed shadows typical of the best 4K TVs, while colors looked both fully saturated and clean. Also, the A2’s out-of-box picture performance in Filmmaker mode was mostly accurate, requiring only slight adjustments to optimize brightness, color, and contrast."
