The Hisense U6K is often significantly less expensive than the LG NANO90 and is rated higher for overall picture quality, making it a better choice for movies and series. However, the LG NANO90 performs better for gaming and sports content due to a higher gaming score and offers superior reflections handling, which could be important in bright rooms. If the price is a key factor and you mainly watch movies and series, the Hisense U6K might be a better choice. If you're an avid gamer or watch lots of sports and can invest more, the LG NANO90's performance boosts could be worth it, especially in sunny environments. Give Feedback

The Hisense U6K (LCD) is good for movies & TV, while the LG NANO90 (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense U6K is better for watching movies and cinematic TV due to its higher contrast, more effective local dimming, and better black uniformity, which are crucial for dark scene portrayal. Conversely, the LG NANO90 has weaker contrast, less capable local dimming, and inferior black uniformity, which can make dark scenes in movies appear grayish and less detailed.

The LG NANO90 (LCD) and Hisense U6K (LCD) are both only fair for sports, though the LG NANO90 (LCD) is somewhat better.
The Hisense U6K and LG NANO90 both have response times that are only fair, which could lead to more motion blur during fast sports scenes. The Hisense has fair motion processing and poor viewing angles, while the LG has better but still average motion processing and better reflections handling due to very good reflections score, better supporting a bright room experience.

The LG NANO90 (LCD) is very good for gaming, while the Hisense U6K (LCD) is only fair.
The LG NANO90 boasts a very good gaming experience primarily due to its faster response time and higher refresh rate compared to the Hisense U6K, which yields a fair gaming performance as it has a slower response time and may suffer from more noticeable blurring during fast-paced gaming scenes. Additionally, while both TVs have very good input lag scores, the overall better motion handling capabilities of the LG NANO90 make it a preferred choice for serious gamers.

The Hisense U6K (LCD) is good for news, talk, & other TV, while the LG NANO90 (LCD) is only fair.
The Hisense U6K performs well for watching news and TV programs because it has very good upscaling and good SDR brightness, which are both very important for this type of viewing; the colors out of the box and color gamut are also rated higher, which helps with a more lifelike and colorful presentation for less cinematic content. In contrast, the LG NANO90, despite fair upscaling and good SDR brightness, suffers from poorer color performance right out of the box and a lesser color gamut, somewhat compromising the immediate viewing experience for everyday content.

The Hisense U6K (LCD) has a price of $690 and the LG NANO90 (LCD) costs $1,719.
The LG NANO90 (LCD) and Hisense U6K (LCD) are both only fair for bright room.
The Hisense U6K's fair performance in bright rooms is due to its adequate SDR and HDR brightness, which helps mitigate room glare but its reflections handling is only fair, possibly making it prone to visible reflections in very bright environments. The LG NANO90, on the other hand, also offers fair viewing in bright conditions with good SDR and HDR brightness and very good reflections handling, which means it can better reduce the visibility of reflections; however, lower contrast may affect picture quality in comparison to TVs with higher contrast ratios.
