Our Verdict
LG C1 OLED
Hisense U8G
The LG C1 OLED and the Hisense U8G use very different panel technologies, each with strengths and weaknesses, so which one is better depends on your usage. The LG has a nearly infinite contrast ratio, so blacks are inky black in a dark room. The LG also has much better viewing angles, making it a better choice for a wide seating arrangement. On the other hand, the Hisense is much brighter, and unfortunately, the LG has a risk of burn-in with static content, which may be a concern for some people.
