If price is a major factor, the Hisense U7G offers a lower midrange price and is much less expensive than the LG G1. The U7G is a solid choice for gaming, but may not be as good for watching sports. The LG G1, being an OLED screen, provides better overall picture quality, especially in dark rooms, and has superior viewing angles. For bright rooms, the Hisense U7G has a slight edge over the LG G1, which could matter depending on your room's lighting. If you value a premium streaming experience, the LG G1 stands out with its higher picture and sound quality, but you'll also pay more for it. Give Feedback

The LG G1 (OLED) is very good for sports, while the Hisense U7G (LCD) is only fair.
The LG G1 has a superior viewing angle and reflection handling, crucial for sports as it provides a clear picture from various positions in a bright room, and its OLED technology offers exceptional response time and motion processing, delivering smooth action sequences. In contrast, the Hisense U7G, though offering good response time and motion processing, falls short with a fair viewing angle and reflection handling, which could reduce the viewing experience during fast-paced sports, particularly in well-lit environments.

The LG G1 (OLED) is excellent for gaming, while the Hisense U7G (LCD) is very good.
The LG G1 OLED excels in gaming partly due to its outstanding response time and input lag performance, making it highly responsive, important for fast-paced gaming. Whereas the Hisense U7G LCD, while very capable with good response time and input lag for gaming, does not match the LG G1's top-tier responsiveness and virtually instantaneous pixel reaction speed.

The LG G1 (OLED) is very good for cartoons & animation, while the Hisense U7G (LCD) is good.
The Hisense U7G (LCD) is considered good for watching cartoons and animation because it offers a very good color gamut, ensuring that the cartoons come out vibrant and colorful. However, the LG G1 (OLED) is rated as very good due to its excellent color gamut, which allows for even richer and more accurate colors out of the box, as well as its superior gray uniformity and contrast, all of which contribute to a more immersive viewing experience for animated content.

The LG G1 (OLED) and Hisense U7G (LCD) are both very good for news, talk, & other TV, though the LG G1 (OLED) is somewhat better.
The Hisense U7G delivers very good SDR brightness, which is essential for clear picture quality in bright rooms, and also offers good upscaling quality for lower-resolution content that's often found in news and talk shows. The LG G1, although with just good SDR brightness, surpasses the U7G slightly in upscaling, ensuring even crisper images from similar low-resolution sources, and as an OLED, it provides superior contrast for deep blacks and vibrant colors in well-controlled lighting conditions.

The Hisense U7G (LCD) and LG G1 (OLED) are both good for bright room.
The Hisense U7G performs well in bright rooms due to its very good SDR and HDR brightness, but its reflections handling is fair, which can be problematic in brightly lit environments. The LG G1, despite having good SDR and HDR brightness, excels in bright rooms particularly because of its excellent reflection handling, making it a better choice for rooms with many light sources.
