The Hisense U6G (LCD) is a more budget-friendly option and presents solid performance for most viewing environments, but the Sony A90J (OLED) offers superior picture quality and viewing angles, as well as better performance in dark rooms due to its OLED technology. For regular TV and news, the Hisense would suffice, but for movies, sports, and gaming, especially in higher lighting conditions, the Sony provides better contrast and color vibrancy. The Sony A90J also has a higher refresh rate which benefits fast-moving content like sports and gaming, whereas the Hisense has a lower refresh rate which might not be as smooth. If you have a bright room, both TVs have adequate brightness, but the Sony's reflection handling is notably better. The additional cost of the Sony is for improved visual quality and features conducive to a more immersive experience. Give Feedback

The Sony A90J (OLED) is excellent for sports, while the Hisense U6G (LCD) is only fair.
The Sony A90J excels in sports viewing primarily because of its OLED technology, which provides instantaneous response time and superior motion processing, ensuring clear images during fast action, along with better viewing angles and reflections handling. In contrast, the Hisense U6G, with its LCD screen, doesn't perform as well in these areas, exhibiting slower response times and less effective motion processing, which may lead to blurrier images during sports; its handling of reflections and viewing angles are also less impressive compared to the OLED.

"In every meaningful department – motion control, contrast, edge definition, detail levels, you name it the A90J puts in a memorably accomplished shift. In fact, the Sony proves outstanding at handling on-screen motion of any and every kind. By the standards of television audio systems, the A90J is a notably punchy and genuinely dynamic performer."
