The LG G2 OLED offers superior picture quality with perfect blacks and excellent contrast, making it ideal for dark room viewing and movies. It's also great for gaming and sports content due to its fast response time and smooth motion handling. However, it's not as bright as some LCDs, which might make it less suitable for very bright rooms. The LG has a sleek design and includes a wall mount, but no regular stand.
On the other hand, the Hisense UX LCD excels in bright rooms with its high SDR and HDR brightness, ensuring clear visibility even in sunlight. It's also a better choice for wide seating arrangements due to its good viewing angles. While it's larger at 85 inches, it falls short in dark room performance and has less uniform blacks, which could affect movie watching. It does come with a stand and offers voice command features, along with slightly better sound quality.
Consider the LG G2 OLED for its outstanding picture quality and performance in areas like gaming and movies, especially if you have a dimly lit viewing environment. Opt for the Hisense UX LCD if you prioritize a larger screen, better bright room performance, and have a wider seating area to accommodate. Give Feedback

The LG G2 OLED excels in watching movies and cinematic TV thanks to its perfect contrast, superior local dimming, and top-tier black uniformity which are very important for dark room viewing, and it also has wider viewing angles and better color volume, making it versatile for different seating arrangements and content types. In comparison, the Hisense UX LCD provides very good performance with excellent contrast and black uniformity, but might fall short in viewing angles and cannot match OLED's absolute blacks, which can be especially noticeable in dark scenes or when viewed from an angle.

The Hisense UX delivers vibrant colors right out of the box and has a superior color volume, making animations look vivid and colorful, while the LG G2 also offers good out-of-the-box colors and a wide color gamut that ensures animations are displayed with a broad range of shades and intensities.
