Consider the LG G3 OLED for its exceptional overall picture quality, particularly in dark rooms, and superior performance for movies, sports, and gaming. Its perfect blacks and wide viewing angles make it ideal for cinematic experiences. However, it's pricier and not the best choice for a bright room due to its average SDR brightness. The Hisense UX LCD, on the other hand, offers a larger screen size at a higher price point, with excellent bright room performance and good gaming features. It's also more suitable for wide seating arrangements with its solid viewing angles. But it falls short in dark room performance and color accuracy compared to the LG. If budget permits and you prioritize picture quality and a home theater experience, choose the LG G3 OLED; for a brighter room and bigger screen at a premium, the Hisense UX LCD is the way to go.

The LG G3 (OLED) is excellent for movies & TV, while the Hisense UX (LCD) is very good.
The LG G3 (OLED) excels in watching movies and cinematic content due to its perfect blacks and infinite contrast ratio, complemented by excellent color accuracy and wide viewing angles. On the other hand, the Hisense UX (LCD), while providing very good contrast and effective local dimming, falls short in comparison, particularly in black uniformity and viewing angles, though it still offers a robust color volume and decent colors straight out of the box.

The LG G3 (OLED) is very good for sports, while the Hisense UX (LCD) is only fair.
The LG G3 OLED TV provides an excellent response time and superior motion processing which result in smoother movement, making it very good for watching sports; the Hisense UX LCD, while fair for sports, might display more motion blur due to its only very good motion processing, and its response time might not be as fast as the OLED. OLED TVs like the LG G3 also tend to have better handling of reflections and a wider viewing angle compared to LCDs, but the Hisense UX may offer more consistent gray uniformity which can also be important for sports viewing.

The LG G3 (OLED) is excellent for news, talk, & other TV, while the Hisense UX (LCD) is very good.
The Hisense UX is praised for its very good upscaling and color accuracy out of the box, making it suitable for news and TV programs, and its LCD screen provides strong SDR brightness, beneficial in well-lit rooms. On the other hand, the LG G3 offers even better upscaling and color performance, with its OLED technology giving superior contrast and viewing angles, but this may come at a higher price and potentially lower brightness in sunny environments.
