If you prioritize picture quality, especially in dark rooms, and are willing to pay more, consider the Hisense U8K. It also has better performance for gaming due to higher response and input lag scores. However, the Hisense may not be as good in a bright room compared to some other TVs in this segment.
On the other hand, if you're looking for a more budget-friendly option and mainly watch news or animated content, the LG NANO75 could be for you. It has a lower overall picture and dark room performance but performs well for sports viewing and has a higher viewing angle, making it suitable for a family setting. Note though, it has fewer HDMI ports and lower speaker power which could affect connectivity and sound quality. Give Feedback

The Hisense U8K (LCD) is very good for movies & TV, while the LG NANO75 (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense U8K excels in movie and cinematic TV watching due to its superb contrast, effective local dimming, and excellent black uniformity, which enhance dark scene representation. In contrast, the LG NANO75 performs poorly with cinematic content because it has a lower contrast, no local dimming feature, and weaker black uniformity, resulting in less detailed and less immersive dark scenes.

The Hisense U8K (LCD) has a price of $1,198 and the LG NANO75 (LCD) costs $1,290.
The LG NANO75 (LCD) and Hisense U8K (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Hisense U8K has a fair response time which may result in some motion blur during fast sports scenes, and reflections are handled very well which is good for bright rooms; however, the viewing angle is limited, so the picture might not look as good when seen from the side. The LG NANO75 handles reflections well too and offers a wider viewing angle making it better for group watching, but its motion processing is fair and might not be as smooth for fast-paced sports, and both TVs have gray uniformity that is only somewhat suitable for sports.
