      There’s not much left to say about the phenomenal LG G4 Series OLED. Our editor-at-large and TV expert, Caleb Denison, stated, “The LG G4 is a triumph of modern television engineering.” Those words resonate because the LG G4 delivers unprecedented brightness levels for an OLED TV, reaching 1,500 nits at one point—brightness typically seen in QLED models.

      This achievement is partially due to LG’s use of Micro Lens Array (MLA). Paired with the TV’s industry-leading HDR support, the LG G4 boasts vibrant colors and exceptional contrast. LG’s Alpha 11 AI Processor, with AI Picture Pro and 4K upscaling, provides comprehensive support behind the scenes. With HDMI 2.1 connectivity, minimal input lag, and LG’s Game Optimizer mode, your gaming sessions on the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S will be truly remarkable.

      While there's a slight risk of burn-in with the LG G4, ensuring the TV is turned off when not in use or having an auto-timer can mitigate issues. The LG G4 OLED is available in sizes ranging from 55 to 97 inches, with the three largest models equipped with LG’s Slim Wall Mount, while the smaller sizes come with a stand.

      Positioned between Hisense's U8N and U6N models, the U7N shines as a bright and colorful QLED TV (though Hisense refers to it as ULED) that exemplifies the brand's growing influence in the budget-friendly TV segment. Its full-array mini-LED backlighting, combined with the Hi-View Engine PRO chipset, optimizes every frame excellently. While its contrast levels impress, slight light blooming may occur during darker scenes in movies, shows, and games.

      When it comes to gaming, the Hisense U7N is built for console and PC connections, featuring HDMI 2.1 connectivity (on inputs 3 and 4), a 144Hz refresh rate, and VRR support. The Auto Low Lat
