The Hisense UX is a premium choice with superior picture quality, especially in bright rooms, and excellent gaming performance due to its high refresh rate and low input lag. It's also great for watching movies and sports, with deep blacks and vibrant colors. However, it comes with a high-end price tag. In contrast, the LG UR9000 offers a much more budget-friendly option with decent overall picture quality, making it suitable for casual viewing in average lighting conditions. While it may not excel in dark room performance or have the advanced gaming features of the Hisense, it's a solid choice if you're looking to save money. The Hisense has better sound quality and supports more advanced audio formats, which could be important if you're looking for an immersive experience without external speakers. The LG, however, has a better viewing angle, which might be a consideration if you have a wide seating area. Ultimately, if you prioritize top-tier performance and are willing to invest, the Hisense UX is the way to go, but if you're on a tighter budget and can compromise on some high-end features, the LG UR9000 is a reasonable alternative.

The Hisense UX (LCD) is very good for gaming, while the LG UR9000 (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense UX has very good response time and good input lag, making it very suitable for gaming where fast action and quick reactions are key. In contrast, the LG UR9000 offers fair response time and the best input lag, but the overall performance for gaming is still poor likely due to the lower refresh rate and subpar response time relative to the Hisense UX.

The Hisense UX (LCD) is excellent for cartoons & animation, while the LG UR9000 (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense UX is excellent for watching cartoons & animation because it displays colors accurately out of the box and has a very good color gamut, ensuring vibrant and varied hues. In contrast, the LG UR9000 is considered poor due to its limited color gamut, which results in less saturated and diverse colors, making it less suitable for animated content that often relies on a wide color palette.

The Hisense UX (LCD) is very good for news, talk, & other TV, while the LG UR9000 (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense UX excels in upscaling content and provides excellent SDR brightness, making it very good for watching news and regular TV programs. In contrast, the LG UR9000, with its poorer performance in these areas, particularly its low contrast and less impressive brightness, is less suited for such content.

The Hisense UX (LCD) is best in class for bright room, while the LG UR9000 (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense UX is better for bright rooms due to its 'Best' SDR and HDR brightness levels and 'Very Good' reflection handling, ensuring clear visibility even in well-lit environments. Conversely, the LG UR9000 struggles in bright rooms, with only 'Fair' performance in both SDR brightness and reflections handling, leading to potential glare issues and a dimmer picture.

The LG UR9000 (LCD) and Hisense UX (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Hisense UX has excellent response times which is great for sports, but its motion processing is not as refined, potentially leading to some inconsistencies in fast-paced scenes. The LG UR9000 has a somewhat better motion processing capability offering smoother action, yet its response times are only fair, which might introduce some blur in quick movements; both handle reflections adequately, but wide viewing angles are compromised in each, with neither excelling in consistent color and brightness when watched from the side.
