The Hisense U6K is a more budget-friendly option with a lower price, and is a good all-around TV with decent picture quality and gaming performance. However, it isn't the best in very bright rooms. In contrast, the LG G1 is a premium TV that will cost more, but offers superior overall picture quality and exceptional viewing angles, making it excellent for movies and sports. It is also a better choice for gaming thanks to a higher gaming performance. The OLED technology means it provides better contrast and perfect blacks for dark room viewing, although it might not be as bright as some LCD TVs in well-lit rooms. Consider the Hisense U6K if you are looking for a more economical choice that performs well in most situations. Go for the LG G1 if you prioritize higher quality in picture, gaming, and wide viewing angles and are willing to invest more. Give Feedback

The LG G1 (OLED) is excellent for movies & TV, while the Hisense U6K (LCD) is good.
The LG G1 excels in watching movies and cinematic TV due to its perfect black uniformity and excellent contrast, which are key for deep blacks and visual depth, especially in dark scenes. On the other hand, the Hisense U6K has lower contrast and black uniformity, making it less ideal for dark room viewing, though it still provides good color accuracy and volume for a bright and colorful picture..

The LG G1 (OLED) is very good for sports, while the Hisense U6K (LCD) is only fair.
The LG G1 with OLED technology excels in sports due to its exceptional response time and motion processing, which minimize blur during fast-moving scenes, and its wide viewing angles that maintain color accuracy when seen from the side. In comparison, the Hisense U6K, an LCD, has a fair response time, which may result in slightly more motion blur during sports, and it has narrower viewing angles, meaning colors might look washed out when not viewed directly in front.

The LG G1 (OLED) is excellent for gaming, while the Hisense U6K (LCD) is only fair.
The LG G1 (OLED) provides an excellent gaming experience due to its best response time and input lag ratings, ensuring smooth and responsive gameplay on its 120Hz OLED screen. In contrast, the Hisense U6K (LCD) has fair response time and very good input lag ratings, which means it's decent for gaming but may not match the LG G1's performance, particularly in fast-paced games where quick screen updates are crucial.

The LG G1 (OLED) is very good for news, talk, & other TV, while the Hisense U6K (LCD) is good.
The Hisense U6K has good upscaling capabilities and a high contrast ratio, which makes it suitable for watching news and TV programs, but it might not deliver the very good colors out of the box and wide color gamut that the LG G1 offers, enhancing the viewing experience with more vibrant and accurate colors. Additionally, while the Hisense U6K has a good SDR brightness making it competent in brighter rooms, the LG G1 with its excellent upscaling and perfect blacks provided by its OLED panel will offer a superior viewing experience overall, especially in dimly lit environments.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers LG G1 (OLED) to be good for bright room, while the Hisense U6K (LCD) is only fair.
The LG G1 is better for viewing in bright rooms as it has an excellent reflections score, contributing to clarity under bright lights, while the Hisense U6K has only a fair reflections score, making it more susceptible to glare. Additionally, the LG G1 has higher SDR and HDR brightness levels that help it maintain picture quality in well-lit environments, whereas the Hisense U6K has lower brightness levels that might not overcome bright room conditions as effectively.
