If you prioritize a superior dark room performance and outstanding picture quality for movies and gaming, the LG C1 OLED is an excellent choice, albeit at a higher cost. It offers a better viewing experience from various angles and is less affected by reflections. On the other hand, the Hisense U7G LCD costs significantly less and still provides a good gaming experience and bright room performance. However, it can't match the LG C1 in dark room viewing and overall picture quality. For any room with a lot of ambient light or if budget is a concern, the Hisense U7G may be the more practical option, while the LG C1 is better suited for dedicated home theater and gaming setups where visual fidelity is paramount.

The LG C1 (OLED) is very good for movies & TV, while the Hisense U7G (LCD) is good.
The LG C1 offers perfect blacks and superior viewing angles, which makes it excellent for movies and cinematic TV, especially in dark environments due to its exceptional contrast, local dimming, and black uniformity. Conversely, the Hisense U7G, while still delivering a high contrast ratio and effective local dimming, falls short in black uniformity compared to the LG C1, which slightly affects its performance in dark scenes, although its performance in brighter rooms could be noticeably better due to its higher brightness.

The LG C1 (OLED) is very good for sports, while the Hisense U7G (LCD) is only fair.
The LG C1 is considered very good for watching sports largely due to its excellent reflections handling and best-in-class response time, ensuring crisp motion and clear images even in bright rooms and during fast action. On the other hand, the Hisense U7G is rated as fair for the same content as its reflections handling is only fair and its response time is not as quick as the LG C1's, which may result in less smooth motion during fast sports scenes.
