The Hisense A4H is a budget-friendly option that offers decent performance for casual gaming, watching cartoons, and viewing talk shows or reality TV in environments without a lot of light. Its picture quality is moderate but could be sufficient if you are looking for a basic TV at a lower cost. On the other hand, the Sony X95J is a premium choice with higher picture quality, better for watching movies, enjoying sports, and gaming. It performs well even in bright rooms, which makes it more versatile if you have a lot of natural light. The Sony also has better sound quality and additional features such as support for advanced HDR formats like Dolby Vision and more HDMI ports. This TV is more suitable if you are seeking a higher-quality viewing experience and are willing to invest more. If you're looking for cost savings and have modest viewing needs, the Hisense A4H may work for you, but if you prioritize high picture and sound quality and have a higher budget, the Sony X95J is a superior choice.

The Sony X95J (LCD) is very good for sports, while the Hisense A4H (LCD) is only fair.
The Sony X95J excels in sports viewing primarily due to its superior motion processing and reflection handling, making fast action clearer and reducing glare from lights. The Hisense A4H, on the other hand, has lower response time and less effective reflection handling, which can blur fast movements and struggle with glare, although it has slightly better viewing angle which can be a minor advantage in wider seating arrangements.

The Sony X95J (LCD) is very good for gaming, while the Hisense A4H (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense A4H's performance is lacking for gaming due to its poor response time, high input lag, and a lower 60Hz refresh rate, leading to less smooth gameplay. In contrast, the Sony X95J excels in gaming with its superior response time, lower input lag for snappier game controls, and a higher 120Hz refresh rate, enabling smoother motion and a more responsive gaming experience.

The Sony X95J (LCD) is very good for cartoons & animation, while the Hisense A4H (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense A4H struggles with cartoons and animation due to its poor colors out of the box and limited color gamut, meaning it doesn't display a wide range of colors vividly. In contrast, the Sony X95J delivers a very good viewing experience for the same content with much better colors straight away and a wider color gamut, allowing it to produce vibrant and diverse colors.

The Sony X95J (LCD) is excellent for news, talk, & other TV, while the Hisense A4H (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense A4H tends to perform poorly with non-HD content like typical TV programs due to its lower upscaling capabilities and dimmer SDR brightness, which makes the picture quality less crisp in comparison to the Sony X95J. On the other hand, the Sony X95J excels with these types of content with superior upscaling performance and higher SDR brightness, ensuring a clearer and more vibrant image even in bright environments.

The Sony X95J (LCD) is excellent for bright room, while the Hisense A4H (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense A4H struggles in bright rooms due to its lower performance in SDR and HDR brightness and only fair handling of reflections, which could affect its visibility in well-lit environments. In contrast, the Sony X95J excels in bright conditions with its high SDR and HDR brightness along with very good reflection handling, ensuring a clearer picture even in sunny rooms.
