The Sony X95J (LCD) is very good for movies & TV, while the Hisense A6H (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense A6H suffers in movie watching due to its poor contrast, lack of local dimming, and lower black uniformity, which are crucial for deep blacks and detailed dark scenes, whereas the Sony X95J excels with its high contrast, effective local dimming, and better black uniformity, resulting in a richer, more immersive cinematic experience. Additionally, the A6H's wider viewing angles and very good out-of-the-box colors do not compensate for its deficiencies in a dimly lit room, which is typical for movie viewing, while the X95J's good color volume and gray uniformity enhance the overall picture quality even further.

The Sony X95J (LCD) is very good for sports, while the Hisense A6H (LCD) is only fair.
The Sony X95J performs very well for sports due to its excellent motion processing and good response time, which minimizes blur during fast-moving scenes, combined with very good reflectivity handling that maintains a clear image in bright rooms. In contrast, the Hisense A6H is only fair at sports viewing; it has poorer response time leading to more motion blur, and its reflectivity handling, though fair, is not as effective as the Sony's, which can affect viewing in brightly-lit environments.

The Sony X95J (LCD) is very good for cartoons & animation, while the Hisense A6H (LCD) is poor.
The Sony X95J displays cartoons and animation very well due to its good color gamut, which provides a wide range of colors, and good color volume ensuring those colors maintain their quality in different luminance levels. In comparison, the Hisense A6H has a poor color gamut, meaning it can't display as many colors and has only fair color volume, leading to colors that may not look as vibrant or consistent across varied brightness scenes.

The Sony X95J (LCD) is excellent for news, talk, & other TV, while the Hisense A6H (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense A6H falls short for news and talk shows because of its poor upscaling of lower-resolution content and less impressive SDR brightness, which negatively impacts the viewing experience in bright rooms. In contrast, the Sony X95J excels in these areas due to its superior upscaling abilities and better SDR brightness, ensuring clearer visuals and a more comfortable viewing experience even in well-lit environments.
