Consider the LG B2 if you prioritize superior picture quality in dark rooms, have a dim environment, or are an avid movie watcher. Its OLED screen delivers perfect blacks and excellent contrast, making it ideal for films and shows. However, it's not the best for bright rooms and has mediocre sound quality, so you might need external speakers. It's also less suitable for gaming due to the risk of burn-in.
Opt for the Hisense UX if you need a TV for a very bright room, watch a lot of sports, or play video games. Its LED display handles reflections better and has a lower risk of burn-in. It also offers better sound out of the box and is generally more versatile for various content types. But, it falls short in viewing angles and doesn't have the same deep blacks as the LG, which might affect the movie-watching experience. It's also significantly more expensive, so ensure that the extra cost aligns with your usage needs. Give Feedback

The Hisense UX (LCD) is best in class for bright room, while the LG B2 (OLED) is good.
The Hisense UX has superior SDR and HDR brightness levels, making it better for viewing in a bright room, while the LG B2, although with good brightness, might not perform as well in those conditions. However, the LG B2 has a higher reflections handling score, so it can still be a good option for bright rooms, but it's particularly strong in a less bright environment where its perfect contrast and wide color gamut can truly shine.

How the Hisense UX (LCD) and the LG B2 (OLED) compare to other TVs
"The LG B2 OLED pairs lush, saturated colors and perfect contrast with a 120Hz screen, HDMI 2.1 ports and a great smart TV platform. The LG B2 OLED is an ideal alternative to the LG C2 OLED for folks who want a taste of OLED life without the sticker price that usually comes with it. The LG B2 OLED does a lot right in terms of performance, color saturation is wonderful and contrast is second-to-none. Not only did color saturation and off-axis viewing impress me, harder to quantify specs like motion processing and upscaling really blew me away as well."
