The Hisense U7G is typically much less expensive than the LG B1 and offers strong gaming performance. It would be a solid pick for gaming enthusiasts on a tighter budget. However, it doesn't perform as well in bright rooms compared to the LG B1.
The LG B1 is an OLED TV, typically much more expensive, with excellent picture quality in dark rooms, making it an exceptional choice for watching movies or playing games in such environments. It also has wider viewing angles and less reflection, ideal for rooms with multiple seating areas and some ambient light.
Both TVs offer great features, but the Hisense U7G is more budget-friendly, while the LG B1 provides a premium viewing experience at a higher cost. Give Feedback

The LG B1 (OLED) has very good picture quality, while the Hisense U7G (LCD) has good picture quality.
The LG B1 OLED offers superior picture quality due to its unparalleled contrast ratio and perfect black uniformity, which are inherent benefits of OLED technology, allowing for vivid HDR performance. The Hisense U7G, as an LCD TV, provides good picture quality with a decent local dimming feature that enhances contrast, but it doesn't match the LG B1's ability to display true blacks and its wider color gamut for a more immersive viewing experience.

The LG B1 (OLED) is very good for movies & TV, while the Hisense U7G (LCD) is good.
The LG B1 OLED excels in movies and cinematic TV due to its unparalleled contrast and perfect black uniformity which are crucial for dark scenes, and wide viewing angles make it ideal for group viewing. While the Hisense U7G also performs well with deep blacks and good contrast thanks to its local dimming feature and black uniformity, it falls short of the LG B1's performance in these key areas but might offer a better value for those on a tighter budget.

The LG B1 (OLED) is very good for sports, while the Hisense U7G (LCD) is only fair.
The LG B1 OLED TV excels in sports viewing because of its superior motion processing and reflection handling, along with wider viewing angles, ensuring a clear picture from various seating positions. Conversely, the Hisense U7G LCD TV, while handling reflections decently, falls behind the LG B1 in motion processing and has more limited viewing angles, which could affect the viewing experience for sports in brighter rooms and for those sitting off to the side.

The LG B1 (OLED) and Hisense U7G (LCD) are both very good for gaming, though the LG B1 (OLED) is somewhat better.
The Hisense U7G has a good response time, which means it can display fast-moving images with little motion blur, and it has good input lag, ensuring game commands are responsive; however, it is limited to a 120Hz refresh rate at a lower 4:4:4 chroma subsampling, making it less ideal for PC gaming. On the other hand, the LG B1 exhibits excellent response time and very good input lag with an OLED screen, delivering a premium gaming experience at higher levels of motion clarity and responsiveness, but also limited to a 60Hz refresh rate at 4:4:4 chroma, affecting its capacity for ultra-high frame rate gaming.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers LG B1 (OLED) to be very good for cartoons & animation, while the Hisense U7G (LCD) is good.
The LG B1 OLED excels in displaying cartoons and animations due to its superior color gamut, which enables very rich and accurate colors right out of the box, and better color volume, providing a wider range of colors at different luminance levels. Conversely, while the Hisense U7G LCD is good for these types of content, its color performance isn't quite as vibrant or consistent across different brightness levels, although it still provides a fairly good viewing experience.
