If you enjoy watching movies in dark rooms, the Hisense U6K, with better contrast and black uniformity, will offer a superior experience. However, for sports and in brighter environments, the LG UR9000, with its better reflection handling and higher brightness, will make it easier to see what's on the screen. For gamers, Hisense U6K has a slight edge with support for advanced gaming features like 4K at 120Hz, which can make fast-paced games appear smoother. Both TVs offer a similar audio experience and have voice command features; however, only the Hisense supports a voice-enabled remote. If smart TV experience is crucial, consider that the Hisense typically has a more user-friendly platform, whereas LG's platform may not be as intuitive. Give Feedback

The Hisense U6K (LCD) is good for movies & TV, while the LG UR9000 (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense U6K excels in movies and cinematic TV due to significantly superior contrast, which contributes to deeper blacks that enhance visual depth, along with effective local dimming that improves scene-by-scene lighting, and good color reproduction straight out of the box for vivid and accurate images. In contrast, the LG UR9000 falls short in movie performance primarily because of its poor contrast and black uniformity which makes dark scenes appear washed out, despite having somewhat better viewing angles that may benefit multiple viewers sitting off-center.

The LG UR9000 (LCD) and Hisense U6K (LCD) are both only fair for sports, though the LG UR9000 (LCD) is somewhat better.
The Hisense U6K and LG UR9000 both have fair motion processing and response time, making fast-moving sports content relatively smooth with some blur; the Hisense U6K, however,, struggles with reflections and narrow viewing angles, while the LG UR9000 handles reflections better and offers wider viewing angles but falls behind in gray uniformity, which can affect the appearance of sports fields or arenas.

The Hisense U6K (LCD) is only fair for gaming, while the LG UR9000 (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense U6K is rated higher in response time and adequately high in input lag, making it better for gaming as it can render fast-moving images more smoothly and react to gaming inputs promptly. In contrast, the LG UR9000, despite having extremely low input lag which is great for gaming responsiveness, suffers from a lower response time, impacting its ability to display motion without blur, making it less suitable for fast-paced gaming.

The Hisense U6K (LCD) is very good for cartoons & animation, while the LG UR9000 (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense U6K delivers a high quality of colors right out of the box and has a very good color gamut, which is crucial for animated content rich in vibrant and varied shades. In contrast, while the LG UR9000 also provides excellent colors out of the box, its color gamut is rated as poor, likely leading to less vibrant and less diverse color rendering in cartoons and animation.
