If you want a TV that excels in picture quality for movies and can handle wide viewing angles, consider the LG B2. Being an OLED, it has superior contrast and black uniformity which is great for dark room conditions. In comparison, the Hisense U7K offers a better gaming experience due to its high response time and low input lag, and costs less. For sports and in bright rooms, however, neither is perfect; the Hisense U7K performs decently, while the LG B2 is slightly worse in bright conditions. Keep in mind that OLED screens like the LG B2 can suffer from burn-in with static images over time, but offer better overall picture quality. Give Feedback

The LG B2 (OLED) is very good for sports, while the Hisense U7K (LCD) is only fair.
The LG B2 OLED's exceptional response time and motion processing make fast-paced sports scenes appear smoother and clearer, even enhancing viewing from wider angles which is ideal for group watching. On the other hand, while the Hisense U7K LCD handles reflections well, making it suitable for brighter rooms, its relatively limited viewing angles and lower motion processing capabilities might not deliver the same level of clarity in sports content viewed from an angle or during fast movement.

How the Hisense U7K (LCD) and the LG B2 (OLED) compare to other TVs
"The LG B2 OLED pairs lush, saturated colors and perfect contrast with a 120Hz screen, HDMI 2.1 ports and a great smart TV platform. The LG B2 OLED is an ideal alternative to the LG C2 OLED for folks who want a taste of OLED life without the sticker price that usually comes with it. The LG B2 OLED does a lot right in terms of performance, color saturation is wonderful and contrast is second-to-none. Not only did color saturation and off-axis viewing impress me, harder to quantify specs like motion processing and upscaling really blew me away as well."
