The Sony X90K offers overall better picture quality and is more versatile across different types of content such as movies, sports, and gaming. It performs well in both dark and bright rooms and has better sound quality. Conversely, the Hisense A6H is more budget-friendly, making it a good choice if you are looking for a more affordable option. It also has decent performance for watching news, reality TV, and animation. However, it doesn't perform as well as the Sony X90K in dark environments. If a higher performance and better quality are priority and you're okay with a higher price, the Sony X90K is a good choice. But if you are cost-conscious and watch a lot of news or animation content, the Hisense A6H may be sufficient for your needs. Give Feedback

The Sony X90K (LCD) is good for movies & TV, while the Hisense A6H (LCD) is poor.
The Sony X90K outshines the Hisense A6H in movie and cinematic TV watching due to its superior contrast, effective local dimming, and better black uniformity, creating deeper blacks and more vibrant scenes. While the Hisense A6H offers decent colors straight out of the box, its lack of local dimming and poor black uniformity result in less impressive dark scene performance, which is crucial for a cinematic experience.

The Hisense A6H has a poor response time which can result in more motion blur during fast-paced games, although it offers the best input lag for quick response to user input; the Sony X90K provides a very good response time, leading to clear motion in gaming, but has good input lag which, while responsive, isn't as low as the Hisense A6H.

The Sony X90K (LCD) is very good for cartoons & animation, while the Hisense A6H (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense A6H struggles with displaying cartoons and animations due to its poor colors out of the box and limited color gamut, which impacts the vibrancy and range of colors needed for animated content. On the other hand, the Sony X90K performs very well with such content because it has good colors right out of the box and a wider color gamut, ensuring a more vivid and diverse color palette that enhances the viewing experience for animated visuals.

The Sony X90K (LCD) is very good for news, talk, & other TV, while the Hisense A6H (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense A6H is found lacking when watching news and TV programs because it has poor SDR brightness, which means it might not look as good in a well-lit room, and mediocre upscaling ability, resulting in lower quality for non-HD content. In contrast, the Sony X90K excels in this usage due to its very good SDR brightness, ensuring clearer images in bright rooms, and superior upscaling, which makes standard definition content look sharp.

The Sony X90K (LCD) is very good for bright room, while the Hisense A6H (LCD) is poor.
The Sony X90K outperforms the Hisense A6H in bright room settings due to its better SDR and HDR brightness, which makes the picture appear clearer in sunlight, and its superior handling of reflections, reducing the impact of light sources on the screen. While both TVs have adequate color volumes and gamuts for vibrant colors, the Sony's higher contrast offers deeper blacks, contributing to a better overall image in bright conditions.

Al Griffin | December 2022
"As Sony’s next-to-flagship LCD TV, the X90K series delivers impressive performance for the price. The XR90K had fairly accurate out-of-box color. The TV’s multi-position stand lets you either set the screen flush with any stand its mounted on or elevate it to clear space for a soundbar. With the latter option, you get around 3 inches of clearance enough to accommodate most soundbars. The X90K’s excellent suite of gaming features ranks it up there with the best 120 Hz 4K TVs."
