The Hisense A4H is a budget-friendly option that is much less expensive than the premium Sony X95L. If your primary concern is saving money and you're okay with a basic TV that offers decent performance for everyday viewing such as news and TV shows, the Hisense A4H could suffice. However, if you prefer a TV with superior picture quality and advanced features for watching movies, sports, or gaming, and you're willing to invest more, the Sony X95L is the better choice. The X95L offers better performance in bright rooms, making it suitable for well-lit environments. Keep in mind, it is also significantly larger, which could enhance your viewing experience if you have the space for it. Give Feedback

The Sony X95L (LCD) is very good for movies & TV, while the Hisense A4H (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense A4H's lower contrast ratio, lack of local dimming, and poor black uniformity undermine its performance for movies and cinematic TV, resulting in less detailed dark scenes and less immersive viewing experience. In contrast, the Sony X95L excels with a higher contrast ratio, effective local dimming, and excellent black uniformity, providing deeper blacks and more vibrant colors that enhance the cinematic experience.

The Sony X95L (LCD) is very good for sports, while the Hisense A4H (LCD) is only fair.
The Sony X95L stands out in sports viewing due to superior motion processing and reflection handling, making fast-paced games look smoother and reducing the impact of light reflections on the screen. While the Hisense A4H has decent viewing angles, it falls short in responsiveness and controlling reflections, which compromises the clarity of sports scenes, especially in brightly lit environments.

The Sony X95L (LCD) is very good for gaming, while the Hisense A4H (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense A4H has a poor response time and poor input lag, making it less suitable for gaming as it can lead to blur during fast-moving scenes and delayed reactions to user inputs. Conversely, the Sony X95L offers very good response time and good input lag, providing a smoother and more responsive gaming experience, especially in fast-paced games.

The Sony X95L (LCD) is excellent for cartoons & animation, while the Hisense A4H (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense A4H struggles with animation due to its fair color gamut that can't produce very vibrant colors, coupled with similarly fair color volume which limits the range of colors portrayed. Conversely, the Sony X95L excels at displaying cartoons and animation with its very good color gamut allowing for a wider and more accurate color representation, along with excellent color volume ensuring a rich and vivid color range across different brightness levels.

The Sony X95L (LCD) is excellent for news, talk, & other TV, while the Hisense A4H (LCD) is poor.
The Sony X95L outshines the Hisense A4H for watching news and TV programs because of its superior upscaling abilities and significantly brighter SDR performance, ensuring clearer images even in well-lit rooms. Additionally, the Sony X95L delivers richer colors straight out of the box, a wider color gamut, and more effective local dimming which contributes to its stronger contrast, enhancing the overall viewing experience.
