The Hisense U8H often costs less than the LG NANO90. The Hisense U8H generally provides better overall picture quality, making it more suitable for watching movies, series, and animation. It performs well in dark rooms, thanks to higher contrast, and has good brightness for bright rooms. Gaming performance is strong due to fast response times and low input lag.
In contrast, the LG NANO90 offers wider viewing angles, which makes it better for group viewing situations. Also, this model has better gray uniformity, which can be important for watching sports or for users sensitive to screen uniformity. The Hisense has a mini-LED backlight, which contributes to its superior contrast and local dimming capabilities, whereas the LG has an IPS screen, which provides the broader viewing angles but lower contrast.
