Consider the LG B3 OLED for its superior dark room performance, making it ideal for movies and shows where contrast and black levels are crucial. Its perfect blacks and excellent contrast ratio provide an immersive viewing experience, especially in dimly lit environments. However, it's not as bright as the Hisense UX, so it may not be the best choice for very bright rooms. The LG B3 also offers excellent gaming features and color accuracy, and it's more affordable than the Hisense UX.
On the other hand, the Hisense UX LCD is a better fit for bright rooms due to its high SDR and HDR brightness, ensuring the picture remains visible even in well-lit spaces. It also has a larger screen size at 85 inches, which is great for a more cinematic experience. While its viewing angles and dark room performance aren't as strong as the LG B3, it does have a full array local dimming feature that enhances contrast. The Hisense UX is pricier and is designed with a miniLED backlight, which contributes to its excellent brightness and contrast for an LCD TV. If you prioritize a brighter image, a bigger screen, and are willing to pay a premium, the Hisense UX could be the right choice. Give Feedback
