Our Verdict

LG C3 OLED

Hisense U8/U8N

The LG C3 OLED is mostly better than the Hisense U8/U8N, although they excel in different contexts. The LG’s OLED panel delivers perfect blacks next to bright highlights, with no blooming or lighting zone transitions, making it the perfect choice to use in a dark room. While it’s still bright enough for many brighter rooms, it can’t match the Hisense’s peak brightness in HDR and SDR, making the Hisense the best choice of the two for use in that context. For gamers the LG is the better option due to its nearly instantaneous response time, and 4k @ 120Hz support on all four HDMI ports. Still, while the Hisense can’t match the LG when it comes to response time, it does offer 4k @ 144Hz on two ports, making it possibly more interesting for PC gamers with powerful rigs.
