It would have been interesting if they did a “blind” comparison. So neither would know which TV was the Hisense and which was the LG and then compare. Sometimes I feel like from just knowing when something is an expensive product we get it in our heads that it’s just better regardless just because of the price or brand.

I mean 1 the hisense should have been half ass calibrated ( as default setting usually suck on budget tv) at least put it in movie mode or something... The other is while I don't doubt the Hisense would still lose... I think it's amazing how far TV's have come in the last 10 years or so.... The fact the you can take a TV that cost less than half the other and have pros struggle to tell the difference tells you the budget TV will be enough for most people...

[@FeelingENTITLED]

You must compare TV models with similar dimensions and price ranges. If Hisense were to offer a TV priced at £749, they could potentially outperform LG, given their ability to produce a high-quality TV at half the cost. Imagine the possibilities if they were to compete directly with major brands by matching their prices. Hisense lowered its prices to cater to consumers who may not be as concerned with the finer technical specifications.

[@luc1ferblack]

That makes zero sense. the point of the video is to see what the difference is between a low priced and a high priced tv not the same priced tv.

[@nikicamalezic5388]

It would be nice to test it with tweaked picture and sound settings... And then compare it. I don't doubt that LG would be better, but I think they would be much closer.

[@sloeginandsleep1170]

I think this is somewhat of a misnomer. The LG is £1800 and the Hisense is one of their lowest models and costs less than £749. Considering the price gradient, I’d say the Hisense did very well, and punched above its price point. If you really want to be fair, aim the Hisense U7H or U8H against the LG, they come in between £1000-1200 and have all the same features that the LG has. That would be a reasonable comparison, as this is the equivalent of comparing a Lexus UX to a Dacia Sandero.

[@Kit_Bear]

Probably the capacitors in the power supply board. The TV is trying to draw more power to the display but the power supply board can't supply whats needed so the control board is shutting it down. The red light is a good indicator of that fault. You can fix it for less than £5 and some soldering skills.

Where the LG stands out most to me is the refresh rate. Coming in at 120hz over the Hisense 60hz, the screen quality alone isn't worth amost double the price. If the latency is also better over on the LG then. Someone who wants a large gaming experience may want to look at the LG. Otherwise, you're better off going with a 60hz LG 75HZ tv.

In my opinion, not adjusting the Hisense was not fair. Everyone who likes TV would never use it with out-of-the-box settings! About sound, if you go with Hisense you still get a LG sound bar with dedicated subwoofer that will give you much more sound quality than tha LG standalone sound. At the end, of course if you have money to buy LG, you wouldn´t even look to Hisense or TCL... But choosing to buy Hisense+soundbar you wouldn´t miss that much. Today, I would go Hisense+Soundbar.

Working in A/V we stopped using Sony years ago because they are so unreliable. LG are OK but a little leached out and lack punch. Samsung pretty much the same as LG but sharper and more dynamic albeit poor shadow detail. For cheap and cheerful the Hisense are incredible value for money but absolutely need setting up. We tend to use digital signage sticking with NEC because they're reliable but picture wise they're pretty grim even 4K models. Whatever you buy ALWAYS set it up yourself, when you first unbox use the display for a couple of weeks on the OOTB setting then fiddle around until you like what YOU see - its not about ultra realism or super sharpness etc it's what you feel looks the best for your viewing experience.

[@michaelzoran]

Sony is definitely unreliable. I had a $1,500 Sony TV stop working and it could not be repaired. I also had a so-called "Flagship" type of "ES" Sony A/V Receiver stop working just a couple weeks after the warranty had passed. I was told there was nothing that could be done, because the motherboard stopped working. Sony was not willing to replace anything. I don't buy Sony products anymore. Hisense is inexpensive, but the products - including the new U8H - have so many glitches, defects, and hardware problems that it isn't worth buying.

[@itsmepaulo5677]

It's not a fair Competition. It's SLAYING THE Cheaper TV. What if Hisense U8K Vs. Basic LG ? 😅

[@Yoga_Tv_buying]

THEY wont do the U8K with any LG. This video is trying to Sell a Narritive . “Cheap” vs “pricy”. In advertising markeing program in Busienss school, the ancient “bounty paper tower commercial” demonstration. U quickly form a Opininon, but that opinions can subconsciously apply to the “HIGHER” end of that BRAND. It’s also Tindre swip quick forming opinion , left n right.U wont go back to vet it.

[@relievo6559]

I don't think the 'out of the box' test was the best experiment. No matter what TV, you should go into the settings, turn off motion etc.

[@Barbarapape]

Hardly a fair comparison, both TV's should have been calibrated to give the best performance they are capable of, not left at the out of the box settings. To me all they have done is prove that the way more expensive is the better TV, not everyone can afford £1700 for a TV. If they had compared a top of the range Hisense TV against the LG, the difference would have been far less obvious. As for the LG sounding better, of course it does, but if you are looking for a true home cinema sound, then a soundbar or full seperates system will beat any TV's internal speakers. The Gadget Show doesn't always get it right, and this proves it.

[@alexalexis7899]

So straight out of the box, the LG is better… but since “settings” and “adjustments” are a thing, it seems disingenuous to not even try to see if the Hisense can get close to - or even match - the LG. For my money, the artifacts produced by the local dimming immediately render the TV undesirable - it is painfully distracting and always looks cheap.

[@Kuranghi]

Agreed, the local dimming on this particular LG, the QNED816, is one of the worst examples of local dimming on any TV ever made. Its not true FALD, since its dimming only "columns" and not rectangular "cells" like with most FALD TVs. The thing that makes it really bad is that it only has 6 zones. Overall the Hisense A6 should be worse on paper, but the LD on the LG QNED81 is so bad that its more distracting than a benefit, so you would probably want to turn it off, meaning its only advantage over the Hisense is having a wide colour gamut via quantum dots and being (a bit) brighter: The A6BG is ~250-300 nits and the QNED81 is ~450. The 2022 A6BG has since moved on to the 2023 A6K model at this point (soon to be the 2024 A6N presumeably), which added PFS Phosphor to the backlight, giving basically a wide colour gamut similar to the QDs give the QNED81. So the difference is just brightness now and its not a big enough jump to justify the crazy price tag on the QNED81, one of the most overpriced TVs there is I'd say. Only the LG NANO76 is worse, one of the worst TVs ever made by a big brand. If you are going to spend the ~1700 and want best bang for buck you would go for the Hisense U8K, that blows the QNED81 out of the water with 120hz panel and 1008 dimming zones and a peak brightness of ~2000 nits. Or even "just" the 75" U7K at ~1300 is far far superior as it has 512 dimming zones vs. the 6 in the LG lol, its ~850 nits, whereas the QNED81 is ~450 nits.

[@ianhill20101]

No mention if tv has been calibrated

[@karaoke6861]

local dimming is just a contrast enhancer

[@teslacybertruck750]

A highly respected video photographer with 20 years of experience.. and this video's resolution only reaches 1080p

[@interstat2222]

They're not equivalent models though, so it's an unfair comparison. Would be better to compare it to a Hisense up the range, like U7 or U8 - things would soon change. It's also down to settings, such as both would have to be in the most accurate (Cinema/Movie) modes.

[@luc1ferblack]

Stupid comment the point is to compare cheap to expensive not to compare the brands

[@gaboaaa23]

i skipped in the video a little bit without listening in detail but this looks and feels like a comedy

[@akshayakumar6456]

Both TV have blooming

[@robwulz3493]

My LG burned out it's backlight leds after a year . My Hisense is 6 years old now and still going . Carry on !

[@billycalder9695]

People seeming to forget there is obvious differences in quality which won't be completely noticeable from the screen you are watching on I have the LG and made a point of viewing multiple different TVs in person and it blows others out of the water showing Tron legacy would of been a better test

[@taimoor1100]

Another factor they missed. Hicence give 3 years warranty where as lg 1 year

[@thomasbrowne3070]

The thing is - you'll never watch a TV beside another TV 😂 so if the Hisence is doing the trick and is performing well for half the price, then it's a no brainer.

[@rotwiler7674]

Still like my 2 year old Hisence H8g 75 inch.

[@mohammedrashid1972]

Comparing a QNED to a standard 4k.

[@luc1ferblack]

I dont think the LG is worth it. I wanted a HTa9 surround £2000 and lg g3 tv total £3500. yesterday i got the q990b for £900 add a hisense 55 pro 4k and its £1500. Spend the money on the sound get the q990b and then its worth the setup for £2000 cheaper

[@rexlark]

Unless it's an LG oled, I would take the higher-end Hisense anytime.

[@generalscorp22]

Yeah an LG TV doesn't get to the "premium" tier until it's an OLED.

[@ChazWyvern]

Have had a few LGs honestly always ended up having problems with them recently got a Hisense at a quarter of the price of all other tvs with Dolby Vision and Atmos after a bit kf setting up it's a hell of alot better than our out going lg honestly I don't think I'll bother paying through the nose for a tv ever again especially when I hear LG only supports their tvs update wise for 2 year's

[@TheNaturalSGO]

Have 5 LG OLEDs and have never had an issue with any of them. Looking at purchasing a cheap throwaway Hisense or TCL for outdoors though.

[@Barbarapape]

Hisense have stated that they are supporting their models for 10 years, far more than any other brand. Their new 2023 miniLED models due out in May are capable of stunning images.

[@YouTubeCensors]

​@@Barbarapapegood to know, that's the budget models I'm looking at now.

[@zeth479]

​@@TheNaturalSGOLG OLEDs are amazing but they are also quite pricey haha. I'm not rich enough to get 5 of those giant LG OLEDs.

[@richdouche8253]

Luckily most of us don't have a second TV in the same room to make a comparison. I'd rather have a large screen cheap TV than a small screen expensive TV.

[@mikeymike1854]

It's not over double the difference better,sound don't matter as you should always have a sound bar but yes lg is better but not over a £1000 more

[@gctacos2107]

Imagine reviewing two drastically different priced TVs and being shocked the more expensive one performed better. What they should have done is taken the price point into consideration for every evaluation.

[@GCharlesE]

I really wish this wasn't budget tv vs budgety-er tv.

[@wullie1320]

From Experience, Hisense picture out of the box does need improvement and to be configured. they should have reviewed with the setting changed.. Poor comparison in my opinion.

[@Equilatero...]

what needs to be analyzed here is If seeing a slightly sharper image or video is worth paying twice as much... after that there are people who wonder why they are poor!

[@deanojay916]

I just seen the Hisense tv and Fire tv at Best Buy from what I seen they looked damn good for the price. I’m actually considering buying the Hisense one myself. My personal top favorite is Sony which is what I have. But don’t sleep on the lower end brands like Hisense, TCL, Vizio etc they might be cheap on the price but they are just as good as the big name brands and u save money

[@imyusufzai]

Exactly

[@lazyvlogs1]

Then you buy a new one after couple of years

[@johto]

I find it funny when anybody is evaluating displays at the factory default settings !

[@MaNNeRz91]

The fact I'm watching this blurry video to see the quality of a 4k TV before I buy one 🤦🤦🤦

[@robmadrigal714]

I prefer Hisense over LG. I had a Samsung TU7000 model and it wasn't what I expected. I bought a Hisense and it looked better. I also had a LG 2022 4k smart tv amd it wasn't good at all

[@footyball66]

They show people more than they show the TV

[@BadWolf67]

Any reason you didn't use the Hisense U8K 75 that has a 144hz refresh and a 50 watt audio system with base and 10 speakers. Granted it was not as cheap but more of a fair competition. My guess is you are a fanboy of LG.

[@antonygilbey7987]

ive been going through loads of videos and reviews and they dont compare the Hisense U8k model maybe the competition is afraid of it

[@totalplonker824]

Nowadays the most important feature on a 4K TV is HDR I would go as far to say it's even more important than 4k and this is coming from someone who's got a £1800 4K OLED LG TV

[@michaelzoran]

The LG TV costs literally THREE TIMES what the Hisense TV costs. This isn't just a comparison of "Premium" to "Budget." The fact that the Hisense is even comparable at all indisputably shows how LG is SIGNIFICANTLY OVERCHARGING with this TV that costs FAR TOO MUCH.

[@davidraborn3654]

Well, My LG TV turned Blue after a year. My Samsung 75 inch has dark spots after a year. These TV's suck. I have a 12 year old Toshiba 1080p 240hz Looks better than both.

[@Sparky102970]

🤣😂🤣the high dollar one was better than the budget one, who knew? Well, I mean besides everybody.🤣😂🤣

[@MBOD2251]

He looks like a glitches 3CPO. Descent video however

[@tvandbeermakehomergo]

LGs local dimming for leds is awfull as shown in this video, just in the process of sending mine back as it is unwatchable and going with a basic TCL instead. That way in a year or so will then invest in an OLED

[@DwightBurditt]

I had an LG and it stopped working after 4 yrs. I'll never buy an LG product again. My new TV is a Samsung.
