The LG C1 also has wide viewing angles and perfect black uniformity, suitable for dark room viewing. For gamers, the LG C1 offers a slightly better gaming experience due to its responsiveness. Both TVs are comparable in terms of input lag and use as a monitor. Give Feedback

The LG C1 offers the best response time and input lag performance, making it excellent for gaming where every millisecond counts, while the Hisense U8H shows very good performance in these areas but may not match the instantaneous feel provided by the LG C1, especially in fast-paced games.

"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"
