Hisense U8H (LCD) vs LG G2 (OLED)

The LG G2 (OLED) offers perfect black uniformity and exceptional contrast thanks to its OLED technology, which is why it excels at displaying movies and cinematic TV, providing a very immersive viewing experience with true blacks. The Hisense U8H (LCD), while good at contrast and local dimming, cannot match the LG G2's ability to display absolute black levels; however, it still delivers above-average picture quality with high brightness suited for varied content consumption.

The LG G2 offers superior motion processing, which is noticeable in fast-paced sports, resulting in smoother action on the screen, and its OLED technology provides better viewing angles, ensuring consistent picture quality regardless of where you sit. Meanwhile, the Hisense U8H, which has a lower motion processing capability and narrower viewing angles, might not handle rapid sports movements as smoothly or offer as wide a viewing range, but it may perform better in handling reflections which is beneficial in bright room conditions.

The Hisense U8H has a rapid response time and a very good input lag performance, making it responsive for gaming, and the LG G2 has an even faster response time and excellent input lag, offering an edge for fast-paced gaming, both with a refresh rate of 120Hz for smoother gameplay.

The Hisense U8H excels in SDR and HDR brightness, making it well-suited for bright rooms, while its very good reflections handling minimizes distractions from ambient light; however, the LG G2, although slightly lower in HDR brightness, boasts excellent reflection handling and produces deeper blacks and more vibrant colors due to its OLED technology, but it may lose some visibility in very bright conditions due to its somewhat lower brightness capabilities. Contrast and color performance are strong points for both, but the Hisense is preferable in the brightest settings, and the LG G2 offers superior contrast and color depth, ideal for varied content viewing in moderately bright rooms.

The Hisense U8H (LCD) shows excellent color right out of the box and has a very good color gamut which makes animation pop, but might not be as consistent across the screen due to its gray uniformity. Meanwhile, the LG G2 (OLED) is known for its perfect contrast and very good SDR brightness that contribute to vivid colors and deep blacks, enhancing the viewing experience of animated content, albeit with less striking colors initially.

The Hisense U8H is highly capable when it comes to upscaling lower resolution content and shows bright and vivid images in standard dynamic range (SDR), which enhances the viewing experience for news and TV programs. In contrast, the LG G2 provides superior contrast and slightly better upscaling, which results in exceptionally clear and vivid images, but it may be less beneficial in very bright rooms due to its somewhat lower SDR brightness compared to the Hisense U8H.
