The Hisense A6H is more budget-friendly and offers satisfactory performance for general TV watching, sports, and cartoons. However, it falls short in delivering a vivid experience in dark room settings and does not excel in a bright room.
On the other hand, the Sony A95K will cost significantly more, but comes with exceptional picture quality suitable for almost all types of content, including movies, sports, and gaming. It offers superb performance in both dark and brightly-lit rooms, and its OLED screen delivers perfect black levels and wide viewing angles. The Sony A95K also comes with better sound quality and is equipped with more advanced features. If you are willing to invest in a superior viewing experience, the Sony A95K is the stronger choice.

The Sony A95K (OLED) is best in class for sports, while the Hisense A6H (LCD) is only fair.
For watching sports, the Sony A95K outperforms the Hisense A6H largely because of its excellent response time and motion processing capabilities, ensuring fast-paced action looks smooth and clear, while its reflections handling and wide viewing angles make it superior in diverse viewing environments. In comparison, the Hisense A6H has a poor response time and doesn't perform as well in handling reflections, which can be drawbacks during fast sports with many camera angle changes and in brightly lit rooms.

The Sony A95K (OLED) is very good for bright room, while the Hisense A6H (LCD) is poor.
The Sony A95K thrives in bright rooms due to its very good SDR and HDR brightness levels and excellent reflection handling, which minimizes the impact of ambient light on the viewing experience. In contrast, the Hisense A6H struggles in such conditions because of its poor brightness capabilities and fair reflection handling, which can result in a washed-out image when subjected to direct light.

"A95K will be one of the highest-performing TVs of the year, if not the hottest TV of 2022. The color on the Sony A95K is the most accurate I have ever seen. Certain hues of red just haven’t been produced on a TV … until now. Perhaps with deeper scrutiny, I may one day find some nit to pick, but in the time I was able to spend with the A95K, I was simply thrilled."
