If picture quality, particularly in dark environments, is a priority for you, the LG C1 OLED is superior. It also has better performance for gaming. However, it is usually much more expensive than the Hisense U6K. The Hisense U6K LCD is a more budget-friendly option with a good overall picture quality and is especially better in bright rooms. If you watch a lot of news, reality TV, or animations, the Hisense performs well in these categories and could be worth considering for the savings. Give Feedback

The LG C1 (OLED) is very good for movies & TV, while the Hisense U6K (LCD) is good.
The LG C1 excels in contrast, local dimming, and black uniformity, significantly enhancing the depth and detail in dark scenes for movies and cinematic TV, whereas the Hisense U6K performs well but not to the same extent, especially in pure black levels. Both TVs offer good colors out of the box and color volume; however, the LG C1 also provides wider viewing angles, which can be a distinct advantage in rooms with seating off to the side.

The LG C1 (OLED) is very good for sports, while the Hisense U6K (LCD) is only fair.
The LG C1 has exceptional response time and motion processing, which leads to very smooth transitions crucial for fast-paced sports content, while its ability to minimize reflections and maintain colors at wide viewing angles is superior to those of the Hisense U6K. While the Hisense U6K offers adequate motion handling for watching sports, its fair response time and limited viewing angles mean that motion might not appear as crisp and the picture may degrade when viewed from the side.

The LG C1 (OLED) is excellent for gaming, while the Hisense U6K (LCD) is only fair.
The LG C1's OLED technology provides the best response time and input lag, making it excellent for gaming with immediate on-screen action and near-zero delay in control responsiveness. The Hisense U6K offers a fair response time and very good input lag, which is satisfactory for casual gaming, but it doesn't match the LG C1's superior performance for fast-paced, competitive gaming environments.

The LG C1 (OLED) is very good for news, talk, & other TV, while the Hisense U6K (LCD) is good.
The LG C1 delivers exceptional clarity and detail with its excellent upscaling and the perfect contrast inherent to OLED technology, which enhances the viewing experience for news and talk shows even in bright conditions due to its good SDR brightness. The Hisense U6K, while still providing a good viewing experience with respectable upscaling and SDR brightness, has a lower contrast ratio due to its LCD technology, which might not make the picture quality as punchy as the OLED in varying lighting conditions.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers LG C1 (OLED) to be good for bright room, while the Hisense U6K (LCD) is only fair.
The Hisense U6K has fair reflection handling and provides good SDR and fair HDR brightness, which might make it less suitable for very bright rooms. On the other hand, the LG C1 features excellent reflection handling and maintains good brightness for both SDR and HDR, making it a better choice for well-lit environments.
