The LG C1 OLED offers exceptional overall picture quality with perfect blacks and excellent color accuracy, making it ideal for dark room viewing, such as watching movies or playing games. However, it's not as bright as the Hisense UX, which means it might not perform as well in a very bright room. The C1 also has wide viewing angles, which is great for when you have a large group watching from different angles. While the sound quality is good, it may not match the louder speakers of the Hisense. On the other hand, the Hisense UX LCD is a better choice for well-lit rooms due to its superior brightness, which can overcome glare. It's also larger at 85 inches, providing a more immersive experience for sports and TV shows. The Hisense has a more robust speaker setup, offering louder and more spatial sound, which can enhance your experience without the need for external speakers. However, its viewing angles are narrower, so the picture quality degrades when viewed from the side, and it doesn't have the perfect blacks of the OLED. Consider the LG C1 for its superior picture quality in a moderately lit to dark room and if you prioritize image precision and wide viewing angles. Opt for the Hisense UX if you need a larger screen with better brightness for a bright room and prioritize louder, spatial sound directly from the TV. Give Feedback
