The Hisense U8H is generally less expensive than the LG B2. If you prioritize gaming, the U8H has excellent gaming performance but may not offer the best viewing experience in a bright room. The LG B2 is superior for movies and series, especially in dark rooms, thanks to its OLED screen, but might not be as bright as the Hisense in well-lit spaces. If you watch a lot of sports, the LG B2 provides a better experience, while the U8H performs well but isn't as strong in this area. Keep in mind, the B2 has better sound quality but is also usually more expensive. Give Feedback

The LG B2 (OLED) is excellent for movies & TV, while the Hisense U8H (LCD) is very good.
The LG B2 (OLED) excels in watching movies and cinematic TV because its OLED technology provides perfect blacks and an infinite contrast ratio with excellent black uniformity, which are critical for dark scenes in movies. On the other hand, the Hisense U8H (LCD) delivers very good performance with its miniLED backlight providing high brightness, effective local dimming that enhances contrast and black uniformity, and vibrant colors out of the box, which also contribute to a cinematic experience, although its inherent LCD technology does not quite match the OLED's performance in very dark scenes.

The LG B2 (OLED) is very good for sports, while the Hisense U8H (LCD) is only fair.
The LG B2 (OLED) delivers a superior viewing experience for sports due to its best-in-class response time and excellent motion processing, which minimize motion blur and produce smooth images during fast-paced action. Meanwhile, the Hisense U8H (LCD) provides a fair experience with sports viewing but struggles with motion handling, as reflected by its lower motion processing capability, leading to more noticeable blur during dynamic scenes.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Hisense U8H (LCD) to be excellent for cartoons & animation, while the LG B2 (OLED) is very good.
The Hisense U8H delivers vibrant and accurate colors right out of the box and boasts an excellent color gamut which is essential for colorful and lively cartoons; however, the LG B2, while also presenting accurate colors and a wide color gamut, excels with deeper blacks and greater contrast, which enriches the visual depth, particularly in animated content. Given the OLED technology of the LG B2, it is stronger in gray uniformity and provides more vivid contrast compared to the LCD Hisense U8H, but the Hisense may offer brighter images that could be beneficial in well-lit rooms when viewing cartoons.

"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"

"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."
