If you value top-notch picture quality, especially in a dark room, the LG C3 OLED TV will provide deeper blacks and more vibrant colors. It's also superior for gaming, sports, and watching movies or series. However, it comes at a higher price than the Hisense U7G. The Hisense U7G is less expensive and still performs well overall, particularly for gaming and watching the news, talk shows, or reality TV. It's also a solid choice for bright rooms but may not match the LG C3 in darker settings or for color richness. If budget is less of a concern and picture quality, particularly for diverse content consumption, is a priority, go for the LG C3. But if you're looking for value at a lower cost and still want a quality experience, the Hisense U7G is a worthy option. Give Feedback

The LG C3 (OLED) is excellent for gaming, while the Hisense U7G (LCD) is very good.
The Hisense U7G, an LCD TV, offers good response time and input lag which is favorable for gaming, while the LG C3, an OLED TV, exhibits the best response time and input lag, providing an even smoother gaming experience.

The LG C3 (OLED) delivers very accurate colors straight out of the box and a wider color gamut, making it excellent for vibrant and varied hues in cartoons and animation. In contrast, the Hisense U7G (LCD), while still providing good colors out of the box and a satisfactory color gamut, falls short of the LG C3's performance in these areas, which may affect the vividness and color richness when watching animated content.

The LG C3 (OLED) is excellent for news, talk, & other TV, while the Hisense U7G (LCD) is very good.
The Hisense U7G provides a very good upscaling of lower-resolution content like standard TV programs, coupled with high SDR brightness, ensuring clear visibility even in bright rooms. In contrast, the LG C3 exhibits excellent color performance right out of the box, and its superior contrast and color gamut enhance the viewing experience, but it's best suited for environments with controlled lighting due to its lower peak brightness compared to typical LCDs.

The LG C3 (OLED) is very good for bright room, while the Hisense U7G (LCD) is good.
The Hisense U7G has a "very good" score for both SDR and HDR brightness which makes it suitable for bright rooms, however, it has only a "fair" reflection handling capability, which could be a downside in very bright or well-lit environments. The LG C3, on the other hand, not only matches the "very good" SDR and HDR brightness of the Hisense but also boasts the "best" score for reflections handling, making it the superior choice for maintaining clear visibility in bright rooms.
