The LG C3 OLED offers superior picture quality, especially in dark rooms, with perfect blacks and excellent contrast, making it ideal for watching movies and playing games. Its wide viewing angles are great for shared viewing experiences, and it has outstanding color accuracy. However, it's not as bright as the Hisense UX, so it might not be the best choice for very bright rooms. The Hisense UX LCD, on the other hand, shines in bright room conditions due to its higher peak brightness and is better suited for sports content with its fast response time. It also has a larger screen size at 85 inches, which is great for immersive viewing. However, its viewing angles are narrower, and the picture quality diminishes when viewed from the side. The UX's local dimming feature is a plus for contrast control, but it may not match the perfect blacks of the LG's OLED technology. The Hisense also has a more robust speaker setup, which could be a deciding factor if you're not planning to use an external sound system. Give Feedback
