If you're looking for a more affordable option, the Hisense A6H is less expensive and still offers good performance for general viewing and sports. However, it doesn't perform as well in dark rooms or provide the best brightness for sunny rooms. The Sony X77L, while costing more, offers better sports viewing and slightly better performance in bright conditions. The Sony also has advantages with its newer release and higher quality control which might translate to better longevity and reliability. Neither are ideal for very dark or very bright rooms. Both TVs support the most common HDR formats and have voice control capabilities. If budget is a primary concern, go with the Hisense A6H. If you can invest more for improved performance and quality, the Sony X77L is a solid choice. Give Feedback

The Sony X77L (LCD) and Hisense A6H (LCD) are both only fair for sports, though the Sony X77L (LCD) is somewhat better.
The Hisense A6H has a lower response time which can cause a blur during fast sports scenes, but it has a better viewing angle, making it suitable for a wider seating arrangement. Conversely, the Sony X77L has better motion processing that reduces blur in sports, however, its reflections handling is the same as the Hisense, suggesting both might struggle in very bright rooms.

The Sony X77L (LCD) is only fair for bright room, while the Hisense A6H (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense A6H struggles in bright rooms due to its poor performance in both SDR and HDR brightness levels and is only fair in handling reflections. In contrast, the Sony X77L is slightly better suited for well-lit environments with its good SDR brightness and fair reflection handling, but like the A6H, it still only offers fair performance when it comes to HDR brightness and handling reflections.

The Sony X77L (LCD) and Hisense A6H (LCD) are both poor for movies & TV.
The Hisense A6H has a lower contrast which can make dark scenes look washed out and its poor black uniformity may lead to cloudy spots in dark scenes, which are noticeable when watching movies. In comparison, while the Sony X77L offers better contrast and black uniformity, it still falls short for movie enthusiasts seeking deep blacks and uniform darkness across the screen.

The Sony X77L (LCD) and Hisense A6H (LCD) are both poor for gaming.
The Hisense A6H and Sony X77L are both poor choices for gaming primarily because they have poor response times, which can lead to motion blur during fast-paced games. Additionally, these TVs have significant input lag, making them less responsive when gaming; this is less than ideal for a smooth and immersive gaming experience.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Sony X77L (LCD) to be only fair for cartoons & animation, while the Hisense A6H (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense A6H may produce poorer colors out of the box and lack a wide color gamut required for vibrant and varied hues in cartoons and animation, leading to a less immersive viewing experience. Conversely, the Sony X77L, while not astounding, delivers fair performance in these aspects, making it more suitable for content that relies heavily on color accuracy and range.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Sony X77L (LCD) to be only fair for news, talk, & other TV, while the Hisense A6H (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense A6H tends to perform poorly when upscaling lower-resolution content and has subpar SDR brightness, which makes it less suitable for watching news and TV programs with typical studio lighting. On the other hand, the Sony X77L offers better upscaling and higher SDR brightness, which results in a fair viewing experience for these types of content, although its abilities are still limited in terms of colors out of the box and color gamut.

"For an entry-level model, Sony’s X77L is a decent 4K TV. It’s color reproduction, along with crisp and clean picture images revealed plenty of detail and clarity thanks in part to Sony’s excellent video processing."
