The real advantage OLEDs have is near perfect blacks and superior viewing angles. Newer VA panels can get 85% of the way there in the contrast department but also provide much brighter panels.
The best of both worlds is if you have the new Samsung OLEDs but those are about 800-1K more expensive right now.
I'll play devil's advocate and say I did not like my U8G. It had really bad crushed blacks and I had all sorts of issues with HDMI 2.1. I returned it for the TCL which unfortunately has it's own issues. Hisense really needs to work on ironing out their software and firmware issues but their hardware is generally solid.
Hopefully the upcoming U8H will fix all of these issues but people have been complaining about the same issues since the H9G.

Update 08/16/2021: We took another look at the red ghosting issue with this TV, trying different content from different sources. It's clearly present with some content, like The Crown, and we also noticed it in Daredevil. It's not noticeable in all content but seems to be more noticeable in warmer scenes. We also checked a few games on a PS5. In Call of Duty, we didn't notice any ghosting, but in Astro's Playground, it was really bad, with terrible ghosting everywhere.

The issue appears to vary between units, as some people online have reported TVs with no ghosting at all, whereas other people have reported serious ghosting in all content. Compared to our H9G, it's not as bad, but this could just be unit variance.
Update 09/08/2021: We checked the red ghosting on our unit with the latest firmware, and found that nothing changed.

I ended up moving to an oled though because on less than 4k content the picture quality is still that of watching an LCD screen, kind of washed out and not sharp, this set really benefits from an nvidia shield as it's upscaling is not great..By the time you buy this and an nvidia shield you are so close to the sale price of an oled I would just wait for an oled, unless you are determined to watch things with static images and or use it as a computer monitor, things oled doesn't like.

Also since the last update I've had to switch to Ethernet because it's stopped accepting my WiFi password.
People report all sorts of issues with 120hz
