Choose the LG A2 OLED for its superior dark room performance, perfect blacks, and wide viewing angles, making it ideal for movies and TV shows in dim environments. It's also great for gaming due to its low input lag and excellent motion handling. However, it's not as bright as the Hisense UX, so it's not the best for well-lit rooms. The LG A2 is more expensive but offers a premium experience with better picture quality and built-in speakers.
Opt for the Hisense UX LCD if you need a larger screen and have a bright room, as it delivers excellent brightness and good reflection handling. It's also a strong choice for gaming with its high refresh rate and low input lag. While its picture quality is very good, it doesn't quite match the LG A2's, especially in terms of contrast and viewing angles. The Hisense UX is more future-proof with advanced connectivity options and supports Dolby Atmos for immersive sound when paired with an external sound system. Give Feedback

The LG A2 (OLED) is very good for sports, while the Hisense UX (LCD) is only fair.
The LG A2 offers better motion processing and faster response time, which makes fast sports scenes appear crisper and clearer, while the Hisense UX may exhibit more blur during fast motion due to a lower response time and less effective motion processing. Additionally, the OLED technology of the LG A2 provides wider viewing angles and better handling of reflections, whereas the Hisense UX, being an LCD, might not perform as well in these aspects, which are crucial while watching sports.

The Hisense UX (LCD) is very good for gaming, while the LG A2 (OLED) is good.
The Hisense UX boasts very good response times and good input lag, which makes it well-suited for gaming. In contrast, the LG A2 has excellent response time and very good input lag, still providing a good gaming experience - the faster response time is particularly beneficial for fast-paced games, but the UX may offer a smoother experience for some due to its higher refresh rate.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Hisense UX (LCD) to be excellent for cartoons & animation, while the LG A2 (OLED) is very good.
The Hisense UX's color gamut and volume are praised, making it a great choice for cartoons where vivid colors are crucial, but it's noted that its 'out of the box' colors are just good, possibly requiring some calibration for the best experience. Meanwhile, the LG A2 also offers a very good color gamut which is important for animated content, and its 'out of the box' colors are rated very good, likely providing a more accurate picture without the need for immediate adjustments.

The Hisense UX (LCD) and LG A2 (OLED) are both very good for news, talk, & other TV.
The Hisense UX has excellent SDR brightness and good color accuracy straight out of the box, which makes it suitable for watching news and TV shows in bright rooms. On the other hand, the LG A2 offers a superior color gamut and perfect contrast due to its OLED panel, which provides vibrant and accurate colors for the same content but might not be as bright as the Hisense in well-lit environments.
