The LG B1 (OLED) is very good for movies & TV, while the Hisense U7H (LCD) is good.
The LG B1's OLED display provides perfect contrast and black uniformity, essential for deep blacks in movies and cinematic content, and offers better viewing angles, which is great for wider seating arrangements. In contrast, while the Hisense U7H has commendable local dimming and color volume for an LCD TV, it falls short in delivering the inky blacks and consistent viewing experience of the LG B1.

The LG B1 (OLED) is very good for gaming, while the Hisense U7H (LCD) is good.
The LG B1 OLED has an excellent response time and very good input lag, which leads to a smooth gaming experience with minimal motion blur and quick screen updates. In contrast, the Hisense U7H LCD, although good with input lag, has poorer response time, meaning it might not keep up as well with fast-paced games since it can show more motion blur.

The Hisense U7H (LCD) and LG B1 (OLED) are both good for bright room, though the Hisense U7H (LCD) is somewhat better.
The Hisense U7H has very good SDR brightness and is decent at handling reflections, making it suitable for bright rooms, while the LG B1, despite having good SDR brightness, stands out with its excellent reflection handling, enhancing its brightness capability in well-lit environments.

The Hisense U7H performs well with cartoons and animation due to its strong color gamut and volume but may have some inconsistencies in gray uniformity; the LG B1 offers more vibrant and consistent colors directly out of the box along with superior contrast which enhances the quality of animated images, making it very good for watching cartoons and animation.

How the Hisense U7H (LCD) and the LG B1 (OLED) compare to other TVs
"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."
