The Hisense U7G is a great choice if you are looking for a lower midrange price TV with good performance in both bright and dark rooms, and it's also excellent for gaming. However, it doesn't have as wide a viewing angle and its overall picture and sound quality are not at the highest end.
In contrast, the LG B2, being in a higher price range, offers superior picture quality, especially for movies and series. It also has outstanding performance for gaming and sports viewing. An OLED screen like the LG B2 provides perfect blacks and a very wide viewing angle. Keep in mind, though, it isn't as bright as some LCD TVs, which means it could be less ideal if it's going to be used in very bright rooms. Give Feedback

The LG B2 (OLED) is excellent for movies & TV, while the Hisense U7G (LCD) is good.
The LG B2 OLED's perfect black uniformity and infinite contrast ratio, made possible by its OLED technology, provides an exceptional movie and cinematic TV experience with richer and deeper blacks compared to the Hisense U7G LCD, which has good black uniformity and local dimming but cannot reach the perfect blacks of the B2. Additionally, the LG B2 offers wider viewing angles and better color performance out of the box, enhancing the visual experience from different seating positions and without the need for calibration, unlike the Hisense U7G which has more limited viewing angles and fair color accuracy.

The LG B2 (OLED) is very good for sports, while the Hisense U7G (LCD) is only fair.
The LG B2 OLED excels in sports viewing due to its superior response time and excellent handling of reflections, alongside wide viewing angles that maintain image accuracy from different positions, which is crucial in group settings. In contrast, the Hisense U7G, being an LCD, doesn't perform as strongly in these areas, with poorer response time and only fair reflection handling, which can reduce the clarity of fast-paced sports action, especially in well-lit rooms.

The LG B2 (OLED) and Hisense U7G (LCD) are both very good for gaming, though the LG B2 (OLED) is somewhat better.

The LG B2 (OLED) and Hisense U7G (LCD) are both very good for news, talk, & other TV, though the LG B2 (OLED) is somewhat better.
The Hisense U7G excels in upscaling lower resolution content and provides very good SDR brightness, making it suitable for watching news and talk shows in well-lit rooms. On the other hand, the LG B2 delivers superior colors straight out of the box and has a perfect color gamut for vibrant and true-to-life images, with the added advantage of excellent contrast due to its OLED technology, which enhances the viewing experience for TV programs.

The Hisense U7G (LCD) and LG B2 (OLED) are both good for bright room.
The Hisense U7G (LCD) performs well in a bright room since it has very good SDR brightness, which helps it overcome ambient light, but its reflections handling is only fair, which could be an issue in a very bright or sunny room. On the other hand, while the LG B2 (OLED) has good SDR brightness, not quite as high as the Hisense, it excels in handling reflections, making it an excellent choice for bright rooms despite its slightly lower brightness.

How the Hisense U7G (LCD) and the LG B2 (OLED) compare to other TVs
"The LG B2 OLED pairs lush, saturated colors and perfect contrast with a 120Hz screen, HDMI 2.1 ports and a great smart TV platform. The LG B2 OLED is an ideal alternative to the LG C2 OLED for folks who want a taste of OLED life without the sticker price that usually comes with it. The LG B2 OLED does a lot right in terms of performance, color saturation is wonderful and contrast is second-to-none. Not only did color saturation and off-axis viewing impress me, harder to quantify specs like motion processing and upscaling really blew me away as well."
