If picture quality, especially in darker environments, is your main concern and you are prepared to spend more, the LG C3 OLED is an excellent choice. It also boasts superior gaming performance. However, OLED screens can be more susceptible to permanent image retention, so if you plan to use the TV for channels with static logos or if you play video games with fixed on-screen elements for prolonged periods, this is a risk to consider. Conversely, the Hisense U7H LCD is more budget-friendly and still offers good gaming performance. It also has a respectable picture quality but doesn't quite match the LG in terms of contrast or viewing angles. The Hisense will handle bright rooms better due to its higher brightness. If you're concerned with price and want a TV less prone to image retention, the Hisense U7H may be the better option for you. Give Feedback

The LG C3 OLED shows very strong performance in crucial areas like colors out of the box and color gamut, providing vibrant and accurate colors for animations directly upon setup. Conversely, while the Hisense U7H LCD exhibits good color volume and gamut, its colors out of the box are not as fine-tuned as the LG C3, which means you might experience slightly less accurate color representation when watching cartoons and animations.

The LG C3 (OLED) is excellent for news, talk, & other TV, while the Hisense U7H (LCD) is very good.
The Hisense U7H features very good upscaling and SDR brightness, which makes it suitable for watching news and TV programs, although its color performance out of the box and color gamut are just good, which are somewhat important factors. In contrast, the LG C3 offers the same level of SDR brightness, but it excels with better upscaling and outstanding performance in color rendition right out of the box and a wider color gamut, leading to a more vibrant viewing experience.

On the other hand, the Hisense U7H also performs well in bright rooms but is less effective at managing reflections and has a lower brightness output in SDR and HDR which could affect viewing quality 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."
