The Sony X80K (LCD) and Hisense A6H (LCD) are both poor for movies & TV, though the Sony X80K (LCD) is somewhat better.
The Hisense A6H and Sony X80K both suffer from poor black uniformity, which is essential for deep blacks in dark scenes, making them less suitable for watching movies and cinematic TV where contrast and black levels are very important. Additionally, they do not have features like local dimming which can improve contrast, and their colors out of the box may not be as accurate or vibrant as needed for a true cinematic experience.

The Sony X80K (LCD) is good for cartoons & animation, while the Hisense A6H (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense A6H has poor performance in both colors out of the box and color gamut, which directly influences the vibrancy and accuracy of visuals, resulting in less appealing cartoon and animation playback. In contrast, the Sony X80K performs well in these areas, delivering more accurate and vivid colors that enhance the viewing experience for such content.

The Sony X80K (LCD) is good for news, talk, & other TV, while the Hisense A6H (LCD) is poor.
The Sony X80K performs better in upscaling lower resolution content and exhibits higher SDR brightness, which enhances the clarity and visibility of news and talk shows, while the Hisense A6H falls short in these areas, resulting in a less optimal experience for such programming. Although both TVs lack local dimming, which affects contrast quality, the Sony's superior color accuracy out of the box and a wider color gamut also contribute to a more vibrant and appealing image for everyday TV programs compared to the Hisense A6H.

Tom's guide
Matthew Murray | February 2023
"The Sony Bravia X80K is an inexpensive LCD TV that turns out pleasing visuals and is armed with a number of other desirable features. Sony’s robust internal processing, results in generally better picture quality than you’ll usually get for this price. In practice, the X80K is satisfying to watch. You’re not going to get as sumptuous a picture as you may with other TVs from Sony or other companies, but we didn’t encounter anything that looked bad on it."
