If you prioritize peak brightness and contrast, especially for HDR content, the Hisense U8G is the better option. It's more suited to watching movies in a dark room, but its performance might fall short in a very bright room due to reflections. On the other hand, the LG NANO90 offers wider viewing angles and slightly better reflection handling, making it more appropriate for sports and TV shows in brighter environments. For gaming, both have similar input lag and support 4K at 120Hz, but the Hisense U8G has a slight edge in responsiveness. Give Feedback

The Hisense U8G (LCD) is very good for movies & TV, while the LG NANO90 (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense U8G is very good for watching movies and cinematic TV due to its high contrast ratio and effective local dimming, which enables deep blacks and a better picture in dark scenes. In contrast, the LG NANO90 struggles in this area with a lower contrast ratio and less effective local dimming, leading to grayer blacks and a less immersive viewing experience for movies and cinematic content.

The Hisense U8G (LCD) is very good for news, talk, & other TV, while the LG NANO90 (LCD) is only fair.
The Hisense U8G performs better for watching news and TV programs primarily due to its very good SDR brightness and excellent color accuracy straight out of the box, ensuring a bright and vibrant display even in various lighting conditions. In contrast, while the LG NANO90 is also decent in these regards, it falls short with only good SDR brightness and poorer color accuracy initially, which may require adjustments for an optimal viewing experience.

The Hisense U8G (LCD) is very good for bright room, while the LG NANO90 (LCD) is only fair.
The Hisense U8G performs better in bright rooms because its SDR and HDR brightness levels are very good, and it handles reflections very well, ensuring clarity even when ambient light is present. On the other hand, the LG NANO90, while still handling reflections very well, only has good SDR and HDR brightness, which makes it less ideal than the Hisense U8G in bright viewing conditions.
