Our Verdict
LG C5 OLED
Hisense U8QG
The LG C5 OLED is better than the Hisense U8QG overall. The Hisense is the better choice for a bright room due to its superior brightness capabilities and punchier colors. The Hisense supports 4k @ 165Hz and 1080p @ 288Hz, and it also has a USB-C alt-display port, but VRR and 288Hz don't work when using the port.
However, most gamers will prefer the LG, since it has clearer motion and lower input lag overall. The LG also displays perfect blacks, is more accurate, has better image processing, and a much wider viewing angle, making it the better option for home theaters.
