Choosing between the Sony A90K (OLED) and Hisense R6G (LCD) depends on what you value in a TV. If superior picture quality, especially in dark rooms, and better performance with gaming and sports content are important and you have a flexible budget, the Sony A90K is an excellent option. However, it's less suitable for very bright rooms. On the other hand, if you're looking to spend less, the Hisense R6G offers a decent viewing experience. While it's not as strong in picture quality or gaming, it can handle basic TV watching needs and is more wallet-friendly. Keep in mind that for both extended viewing angles and HDR content, the Sony A90K outperforms the Hisense R6G, as well as providing better sound quality and a brighter display for HDR content.

About Hisense

They offer exceptional value with TVs that often outperform their competitors at similar price points, making them a compelling choice for consumers. In the US, they use Google TV as their smart TV software which provides the largest app selection and a very modern user interface, however it is not as user friendly as the software from other vendors.
About Sony

A Japanese company, Sony has been making TVs for far longs than it has been making Playstation game consoles. Sony's high-end TVs are often regarded as the ultimate choice for videophiles, representing the epitome of quality, albeit at a premium price point. Renowned for their advanced and precise motion handling, as well as their cutting-edge local dimming algorithms, Sony consistently delivers unparalleled performance in these areas.
