The Hisense U8H generally offers better overall picture quality, performs well in bright rooms, and costs less. Its strengths include high contrast, bright highlights in HDR content, and low input lag, making it a good choice for movies and gaming, particularly if these are your priorities. However, its sound quality and viewing angles are not as strong as some competitors. The LG QNED90, while costing more, provides wider viewing angles and slightly better sound. It also supports Dolby Vision for HDR content, which the Hisense does not. This TV could be a better option if you often watch TV with groups spread out across the room or if you want better integrated Dolby Vision support. Give Feedback

The Hisense U8H (LCD) is very good for movies & TV, while the LG QNED90 (LCD) is only fair.
The Hisense U8H stands out for movie and cinematic TV watching due to its superior contrast and local dimming capabilities, which result in deeper blacks and more detailed shadows, whereas the LG QNED90, although good, has a lower contrast level that may lead to grayer blacks and less defined dark scenes.

The Hisense U8H (LCD) is excellent for cartoons & animation, while the LG QNED90 (LCD) is good.
The Hisense U8H is considered excellent for watching cartoons & animation largely due to having a wider color gamut and better color volume, which leads to more vibrant and varied colors. In contrast, while the LG QNED90 also has good performance, it falls short of the Hisense U8H in these areas, resulting in less impressive color reproduction for animated content.

The Hisense U8H (LCD) and LG QNED90 (LCD) are both very good for news, talk, & other TV, though the Hisense U8H (LCD) is somewhat better.
The Hisense U8H excels at upscaling lower-resolution content and shines with its high SDR brightness, making it a strong choice for watching news and TV shows in well-lit environments. The LG QNED90 also provides good upscaling with vibrant out-of-the-box colors and a wide color gamut, complemented by its decent SDR brightness and effective local dimming, enhancing the viewing experience for everyday programming.

The Hisense U8H (LCD) is best in class for bright room, while the LG QNED90 (LCD) is good.
The Hisense U8H outshines the LG QNED90 in bright room viewing due to its higher SDR and HDR brightness levels, along with better handling of reflections. However, while the LG QNED90 has a slightly lower brightness and reflection handling, it offers decent performance in bright rooms and generally suffices for most viewing situations. Contrast, color volume, and color gamut, where the Hisense U8H again has an edge, enhance picture quality but are less crucial than brightness and reflection handling in well-lit environments.

The LG QNED90 (LCD) and Hisense U8H (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Hisense U8H exhibits very good response time but has a limited viewing angle, which could affect the clarity of fast-moving sports scenes from side seats. On the other hand, while the LG QNED90 offers a wider viewing angle, helpful for larger groups, it has just good response time, which may result in slightly less clarity during fast motion compared to the Hisense.

"Hisense is over here making the best TVs for the majority of average families. U8H is a juiced-up utility knife of a television that manages to do a lot of things pretty well. The brightness this TV is capable of pushing out means I can see everything going on in any video game I’m playing regardless of what time of day it is"

"When it comes to HDR brightness it has very bright highlights and impressive HDR. In terms of design the QNED90 looks beautiful. The TV did great with fast response times, excellent reactions and instant rendering of all our commands. If you look for a good performing premium 4K TV the QNED90 ticks all the boxes."
