The Hisense U6G is much less expensive and offers good all-around performance, making it suitable for mixed usage like watching movies, sports, or gaming. However, if you prioritize picture quality, especially in dark rooms, and a better streaming experience, the Sony A95K, despite being more expensive, provides superior performance due to its OLED panel. The A95K's OLED technology allows for perfect blacks and wider viewing angles, but it may not be as bright as the U6G's LCD screen, thus it won't perform as well in very well-lit rooms. Additionally, consider that OLED screens have a slight risk of burn-in with static images, while the Hisense U6G doesn't carry this risk. Give Feedback

Caleb Denison | March 2022
"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."
