If you prioritize a larger screen and advanced technology, and are prepared to invest more, the Hisense UX is a superior option with its miniLED technology, which is known for higher contrast and brightness, making it excel in both dark and well-lit environments. However, if you are looking for a more budget-friendly option that still offers a quality viewing experience, the Hisense U8G might be the right choice, even though it may not match the UX's performance in very bright rooms or with certain high-end features. Both models will offer 4K resolution at 120Hz, ideal for movies, sports, and gaming, but the UX also offers better sound capabilities, which could be a factor if you don't plan to use an external sound system.

The Hisense UX (LCD) and Hisense U8G (LCD) are both very good for movies & TV, though the Hisense UX (LCD) is somewhat better.
The Hisense U8G shines in movie watching with impressive contrast and black uniformity, and while it has very good local dimming to enhance dark scenes, the Hisense UX takes it further with even better contrast and local dimming, along with perfect black uniformity for an unparalleled cinematic experience. Colors out of the box are excellent on the U8G and good on the UX, both with very good color volume, but the UX provides better viewing angles and gray uniformity, making it a slightly superior option for varied content and larger groups.

The Hisense UX (LCD) is best in class for bright room, while the Hisense U8G (LCD) is very good.
The Hisense U8G is very good for watching TV in a bright room due to its high SDR and HDR brightness alongside strong reflection handling, but the Hisense UX, with its 'best' SDR and HDR brightness levels and even better performance in these aspects, is suited for an even brighter environment. While both TVs offer very good reflections handling, the higher brightness capabilities of the Hisense UX make it the superior choice for environments with a lot of ambient light.

The Hisense UX (LCD) and Hisense U8G (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Hisense U8G and Hisense UX, both LCD TVs, are fair for watching sports due to their good response time ensuring minimal blur. However, the U8G has a lower motion processing capability which can affect fast-moving scenes, while the UX is slightly better at it and may handle fast action a bit more smoothly; both have challenges with reflections and limited viewing angles, but the UX slightly outperforms the U8G in handling reflections.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Hisense UX (LCD) to be excellent for cartoons & animation, while the Hisense U8G (LCD) is very good.
The Hisense UX is considered excellent for watching cartoons and animation due to its slightly better color volume and improved gray uniformity, which enhances the consistency and vibrancy of colors on-screen. In contrast, while the Hisense U8G provides very good performance for animation with its strong contrast and out-of-the-box color accuracy, it falls just short of the UX's enhanced capabilities in these key areas for animation content.
