If you prefer a TV with the best possible picture quality for movies and dark room viewing, the LG A1 (OLED) would be the superior choice due to its excellent contrast and uniformity. However, bear in mind that it costs more, and its screen is less bright, which might not be ideal in well-lit rooms. On the other hand, the Hisense U6K (LCD) is less expensive and performs better in bright rooms, which would be beneficial if you watch TV in a sunny room or with lots of lights on. The Hisense also has a slightly better response time, making it a bit more suitable for gaming. However, it won't deliver as deep blacks and uniform picture as the LG OLED. Give Feedback

The LG A1 (OLED) is very good for sports, while the Hisense U6K (LCD) is only fair.
The Hisense U6K has a fair rating in motion processing and response time, which are very important for watching sports, causing motion blur, and making fast-paced scenes less clear. In contrast, the LG A1 excels in these areas with very good motion processing and excellent response time, ensuring crisp and smooth motion, alongside having a wide viewing angle and better handling of reflections that contribute to a superior sports viewing experience.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers LG A1 (OLED) to be good for gaming, while the Hisense U6K (LCD) is only fair.
The LG A1 is better for gaming because it has excellent response time and the best input lag, which means it can render fast-moving images with more fluidity and react quicker to gaming controls. In contrast, the Hisense U6K has only fair response time and very good input lag, making it slower in both image transition and control responsiveness, which can be less ideal for fast-paced gaming.

The Hisense U6K (LCD) and LG A1 (OLED) are both very good for cartoons & animation.
The Hisense U6K LCD provides vibrant and accurate colors right out of the box, and a very good range of colors which is important for animation, but its contrast and gray uniformity are weaker compared to the LG A1 OLED. The LG A1 stands out with its exceptional contrast and perfect black uniformity, enhancing the depth and richness of colors, making it excellent for cartoons, though it may not be as bright in SDR content as some other TVs.
