Consider the LG C2 OLED if you prioritize exceptional picture quality, especially in dark rooms, and want the best contrast and perfect blacks for an immersive movie-watching experience. It's also ideal for gaming due to its low input lag and outstanding motion handling. However, it's not as bright as the Hisense UX, so it might not stand out as much in a well-lit room. On the other hand, the Hisense UX LCD is a stronger choice for bright room viewing, with superior SDR and HDR brightness, ensuring the picture remains vibrant even in daylight. It's also better suited for very large rooms due to its larger screen size. While it doesn't match the OLED's infinite contrast, it offers a wider color gamut and better reflection handling, which can be crucial for daytime viewing. Keep in mind that its viewing angles are narrower, so it's best for head-on viewing. Both TVs are excellent for gaming, with low input lag and high refresh rates, but the LG C2 has a slight edge with its near-instantaneous response time. The Hisense UX has a more robust sound system with a built-in speaker setup, which could save you from buying external speakers. The LG C2's sound quality is good but may benefit from a soundbar or external speakers for a more room-filling audio experience. Ultimately, choose the LG C2 for superior picture quality in a moderately lit environment and the Hisense UX for a brighter screen and better daytime viewing, especially if you have a large space to fill.

The LG C2 (OLED) is very good for sports, while the Hisense UX (LCD) is only fair.
The LG C2 excels in sports viewing primarily due to its superior response time and motion processing capabilities, which reduce blur in fast-moving scenes, and its excellent performance in handling reflections, which mitigates the impact of ambient light during sports broadcasts. Conversely, the Hisense UX falls short in these critical areas as it has less effective motion processing and a lower score in reflection handling, which can detract from the clarity and visibility of sports content, although it does have a good viewing angle which is beneficial when watching with a group.

The LG C2 (OLED) and Hisense UX (LCD) are both very good for gaming, though the LG C2 (OLED) is somewhat better.
The Hisense UX excels in gaming with a very good response time, which minimizes motion blur and a good input lag ensuring the action onscreen closely follows the user's input. The LG C2, on the other hand, stands out with the best response time, almost eliminating motion blur entirely and very good input lag providing a highly responsive gaming experience.

The Hisense UX (LCD) is best in class for bright room, while the LG C2 (OLED) is good.
The Hisense UX performs better in a bright room primarily due to its higher SDR and HDR brightness, which makes the picture stand out even in well-lit conditions, and its very good reflection handling that minimizes glare. In contrast, while the LG C2 also manages reflections excellently and offers a great picture, its SDR and HDR brightness are lower than the Hisense's, making it slightly less optimal for viewing in bright rooms despite its superior contrast and color performance.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Hisense UX (LCD) to be excellent for cartoons & animation, while the LG C2 (OLED) is very good.
The Hisense UX's excellent performance watching cartoons stems from vibrant and accurate colors straight out of the box and an expansive color gamut, which is key for animated content. While the LG C2 also offers very good color accuracy and gamut, it doesn't outshine the Hisense UX, particularly when reproducing the wide range of colors typically present in animation.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers LG C2 (OLED) to be excellent for news, talk, & other TV, while the Hisense UX (LCD) is very good.
The Hisense UX LCD's superior upscaling quality and excellent SDR brightness make it very good for viewing regular TV programs and news, ensuring clear images and visibility in varied lighting conditions. On the other hand, the LG C2 OLED, with its exceptional upscaling and good SDR brightness, combined with its OLED panel's superior color accuracy and higher contrast, offers an excellent viewing experience, especially in dimmer environments where its contrast performance can shine.

David Katzmaier | November 2022
"The C2 offers image quality that's a clear step above any non-OLED TV I've seen. The C2 is rare among high-end TVs in that all four of its HDMI ports support 4K/120, great for hard-core gamers with multiple next-gen devices. The C2 is plenty bright enough for just about any viewing environment. It also outperforms QLED TVs like the Samsung QN90B and TCL 6-Series. That's why I consider the LG C2 the best high-end TV for the money of 2022."
