If you're on a tight budget and need a basic TV, the Hisense A4H is considerably more affordable, though its overall performance is limited, especially in dark and bright rooms. It will serve for casual viewing in well-lit areas, but for darker rooms or a more immersive viewing experience, its picture quality and contrast may disappoint. On the other hand, the Sony A95K comes at a higher price but excels in almost every area, from movies to gaming, suitable for both bright and dark rooms, offering a much-enhanced viewing experience with vibrant colors and deep blacks. Its OLED technology also gives it a wide viewing angle and superior reflection handling. If you value sound quality, the Sony A95K's better speakers might also sway your decision, along with its support for more advanced HDR formats like Dolby Vision. If cost is less of a concern and you are a cinephile, sports fan, or gamer seeking the best performance, the Sony A95K is an outstanding choice. Give Feedback

Caleb Denison | March 2022
"A95K will be one of the highest-performing TVs of the year, if not the hottest TV of 2022. The color on the Sony A95K is the most accurate I have ever seen. Certain hues of red just haven’t been produced on a TV … until now. Perhaps with deeper scrutiny, I may one day find some nit to pick, but in the time I was able to spend with the A95K, I was simply thrilled."
