If you frequently watch movies in dark rooms, the LG G3 OLED will provide you with outstanding picture quality, especially with its perfect blacks and contrast ratios. Despite being pricier than the Hisense U8H LCD, the LG G3 is a better option for bright rooms due to its superior reflection handling. However, the LG G3 does not come with a conventional stand and is designed to be wall-mounted, which could limit your placement options. On the other hand, the Hisense U8H, while less expensive, is not as capable in dark or very bright rooms compared to the LG G3 OLED but still offers good performance for various uses, including gaming and watching sports.

The LG G3 (OLED) is excellent for movies & TV, while the Hisense U8H (LCD) is very good.
The LG G3 OLED TV is regarded excellent for movies and cinematic TV because OLED technology provides perfect blacks due to its ability to turn off individual pixels, resulting in exceptional contrast and black uniformity, essential for dark scenes viewing. Meanwhile, the Hisense U8H, though an LCD TV with good local dimming helping its contrast and black uniformity, falls short compared to the LG G3, which also offers very good colors out of the box and wide viewing angles important for consistent picture quality when viewed from different positions.

"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"
