The Hisense U6G is a more budget-friendly option, which works well for typical television and movie watching and does a decent job in bright rooms. On the other hand, the Sony A95L is a premium TV that excels in delivering exceptional picture quality, especially in dark settings, and has better longevity with its OLED screen. It comes with superior features like a higher refresh rate that's beneficial for gaming and sports, but the cost is significantly higher. If you prioritize saving money and watch diverse content in various lighting conditions, the Hisense U6G would serve you well, but if you seek top-notch picture quality for movies and gaming and are willing to invest more, the Sony A95L is the superior choice.

The Sony A95L (OLED) is best in class for movies & TV, while the Hisense U6G (LCD) is good.
The Sony A95L stands out for movie and cinematic TV watching due to its perfect scores in contrast, local dimming, and black uniformity, which translate to deeper blacks and more detailed dark scenes, whereas the Hisense U6G, while having a good contrast and black uniformity, doesn't match the absolute blacks and local dimming performance of OLED panels like that of the A95L. Additionally, the A95L offers superior viewing angles and color accuracy out of the box, making it the better choice for vivid and consistent picture quality from different seating positions, but it is likely to come at a higher price point compared to the LCD technology of the U6G.

The Sony A95L (OLED) is best in class for sports, while the Hisense U6G (LCD) is only fair.
The Sony A95L stands out for sports with its best-in-class response time and motion processing, ensuring fast-paced action is displayed smoothly, alongside top-notch handling of reflections and wide viewing angles, making it ideal for group viewings. On the other hand, the Hisense U6G has less effective motion processing and a narrower viewing angle, won't handle reflections as well, and has a lower gray uniformity, which could affect the viewing experience when there’s a lot of movement or if watched from the side.

The Sony A95L (OLED) is best in class for cartoons & animation, while the Hisense U6G (LCD) is very good.
The Sony A95L excels in displaying cartoons and animation due to its superior color reproduction right out of the box and a wider color gamut, which means it can display more colors more accurately, enhancing animated content. In comparison, the Hisense U6G, while very good for its category, does not reach the same level of color accuracy or range, which could result in slightly less vivid and diverse colors when watching animated material.

The Hisense U6G provides a solid watching experience for news and TV programs with good colors out of the box and a very good color gamut, but its upscaling is not as refined and the SDR brightness, while very good, isn't top-notch. On the other hand, the Sony A95L excels with the best colors out of the box, excellent color gamut, and superior upscaling, alongside very good SDR brightness, making it exceptional for such content but at a likely higher cost.
