The Hisense U7H tends to be a bit more expensive than the LG UP8000, but it offers superior overall picture quality, making it a better choice for movies and gaming, particularly with its 120Hz screen and support for various high dynamic range formats like HDR10+ and Dolby Vision. It also performs decently in bright rooms. On the other hand, the LG UP8000 is less expensive and has good wide viewing angles, making it a better fit for watching sports or content with multiple viewers spread out across the room. It’s more suited to environments without a lot of light, as its performance in bright rooms is not as strong as the Hisense. Give Feedback

The Hisense U7H (LCD) is good for movies & TV, while the LG UP8000 (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense U7H excels in watching movies and cinematic TV largely due to its high contrast ratio, effective local dimming, and good black uniformity, which result in deeper blacks and more detailed dark scenes. On the other hand, the LG UP8000 falls short because it lacks local dimming and has a lower contrast ratio and black uniformity, leading to less impressive dark scene performance.

The LG UP8000 (LCD) and Hisense U7H (LCD) are both only fair for sports, though the LG UP8000 (LCD) is somewhat better.
The Hisense U7H has a lower response time compared to the LG UP8000, leading to less blur in fast-moving scenes, essential for sports viewing. However, the Hisense U7H is less capable in handling reflections and has narrower viewing angles than the LG UP8000, which could be an issue in bright rooms or for viewers sitting off to the side.

The Hisense U7H (LCD) is good for gaming, while the LG UP8000 (LCD) is poor.

The Hisense U7H (LCD) is good for bright room, while the LG UP8000 (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense U7H has superior brightness in both standard and high dynamic range content, which means it can better maintain picture quality in a bright room compared to the LG UP8000, which has lower brightness and may appear dimmer under the same conditions. Additionally, while the Hisense U7H handles reflections adequately, the LG UP8000 is slightly better at minimizing reflections, but its overall lower brightness makes it less suitable for watching in well-lit environments.

Tom's guide
Christian de Looper | December 2022
"We loved the Hisense U7H. It was able to deliver an excellent all-around image quality in its price range. The TV excels at controlling its backlighting in a way that ensures you’ll never experience blooming to a level of being distracting, something that I was a little surprised to see given the lack of Mini LED. The TV doesn’t just get decently bright it offers relatively accurate color reproduction for a TV in this price range. The TV is being billed excellent for gaming."

"What we liked on this one was the very sharp 4K images it could display, its good up-scaling capabilities, nice viewing angles and extremely low input lag. Lastly the new webOS 6.0 is great even if it needs some time to get your bearings while the redesigned Magic Remote feels fresh even if functionality remains the same."
