The Hisense U7G has a lower price and performs well for gaming, offering low input lag and a good gaming score. However, the LG C2, while more expensive, delivers superior overall picture quality, exceptional performance for movies, sports, animated content, and viewing in dark rooms. The C2's OLED technology provides better contrast and viewing angles but may not be as bright as the Hisense in well-lit rooms. If sound is important to you, the LG C2 has better speakers. For those who prioritize gaming and are looking for a more budget-friendly option, the Hisense is a good choice. If you want the best picture quality and sound for a range of content and do not mind spending more, consider the LG C2. Both TVs support major HDR formats, so your HDR content will look great on either. Give Feedback

The LG C2 (OLED) is excellent for movies & TV, while the Hisense U7G (LCD) is good.
The LG C2's OLED technology provides perfect black uniformity and excellent viewing angles, making it exceptional for movies and cinematic TV, where contrast is crucial. On the other hand, while the Hisense U7G offers good picture quality with deep blacks thanks to its high contrast and good local dimming, it can't match the LG C2's superior black uniformity and wide viewing angles.

The LG C2 (OLED) is very good for sports, while the Hisense U7G (LCD) is only fair.
The LG C2 excels in sports watching with superior motion processing abilities that ensure smooth playback of fast-moving scenes and better handling of reflections, which makes it great for bright rooms. In contrast, the Hisense U7G, while offering fair performance, falls short in these areas, particularly in motion handling, meaning you might notice more blur during fast sports action and it might not be as suitable for rooms with lots of light.

The LG C2 excels in displaying cartoons and animation due to its superior out-of-the-box colors and wider color gamut, providing vibrant and diverse hues. Meanwhile, the Hisense U7G, although offering decent color performance, doesn't match the LG C2's contrast and color fidelity which are particularly important for animated content.

The LG C2 (OLED) and Hisense U7G (LCD) are both good for bright room.
The Hisense U7G, being an LCD TV with good SDR and HDR brightness, is suitable for bright rooms, but its handling of reflections is only fair, which could be a drawback in very bright environments. On the other hand, the LG C2, while also good at SDR and HDR brightness, excels in reflection handling, making it a superior choice for brightly lit rooms despite possible tradeoffs in other somewhat important aspects like contrast and color attributes that are inherent to OLED technology.

CNET
David Katzmaier | November 2022
"The C2 offers image quality that's a clear step above any non-OLED TV I've seen. The C2 is rare among high-end TVs in that all four of its HDMI ports support 4K/120, great for hard-core gamers with multiple next-gen devices. The C2 is plenty bright enough for just about any viewing environment. It also outperforms QLED TVs like the Samsung QN90B and TCL 6-Series. That's why I consider the LG C2 the best high-end TV for the money of 2022."
