The Hisense U8K is typically much more expensive but offers better overall picture quality, gaming performance, and is great for watching movies, series, and animation. It's also better suited for bright room usage. On the other hand, the LG UR9000 costs less but has lower performance across the board, including picture and gaming quality. It won't fare as well in bright rooms and isn't as versatile for different types of content. If budget allows and a high-quality viewing experience is important to you, especially for gaming and bright room viewing, the Hisense U8K would be a better choice. However, if savings are a priority and you have a darker viewing environment, the LG UR9000 could suffice. Give Feedback

The Hisense U8K (LCD) is excellent for cartoons & animation, while the LG UR9000 (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense U8K displays cartoons and animation excellently because it has very good color performance right out of the box and an expansive color gamut. In contrast, while the LG UR9000's colors out of the box are very good, its color gamut is poor, leading to less vibrant and diverse color representation in animated content.

The Hisense U8K (LCD) is very good for news, talk, & other TV, while the LG UR9000 (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense U8K is rated excellent for upscaling and SDR brightness, which is crucial for displaying lower-resolution content like news and talk shows clearly and with adequate brightness in most room settings. In contrast, the LG UR9000 is fair in both upscaling and SDR brightness, and has a poor color gamut, which means it may not represent colors as accurately or brightly, affecting overall picture quality for such programming.

The Hisense U8K (LCD) is best in class for bright room, while the LG UR9000 (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense U8K outperforms the LG UR9000 in a bright room because it offers excellent SDR and HDR brightness and very good reflections handling, which ensures a clear picture even in well-lit environments. In contrast, the LG UR9000 has only fair ratings in both SDR and HDR brightness and its reflections handling is less effective, making it less suitable for bright rooms.

The LG UR9000 (LCD) and Hisense U8K (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Hisense U8K has issues with motion processing and reflection handling, making it less suitable for action-packed sports in brightly lit rooms, but it does offer a wide viewing angle, which is beneficial for group viewings. Conversely, the LG UR9000 struggles with response time and has a narrow viewing angle, affecting the clarity of fast-moving objects and limiting the view for people sitting off to the side, but it has better motion handling and reflection management for a clearer picture during dynamic scenes.
