Consider the Hisense UX if you prioritize a superior picture quality, especially in bright rooms, and plan to use the TV for gaming, movies, and sports. It offers better contrast, brightness, and color performance, along with advanced features like a 120Hz panel and HDMI 2.1 compatibility, which are great for gaming. However, it comes at a higher price point.
On the other hand, if budget is a concern and you're looking for a TV mainly for casual viewing in a less bright room, the LG UP7000 could be sufficient. It has a lower price and decent performance for general content, but it lacks the high-end features and visual performance of the Hisense UX, particularly in terms of HDR, gaming capabilities, and sound quality.
