When comparing the Hisense U6G and the Sony X93L, consider that the Hisense is much more budget-friendly, making it a solid choice if price is a major factor. The Hisense may not be as bright, so it could be less suitable for well-lit rooms, and its refresh rate is lower, which might not be ideal for fast-paced action or high-end gaming. On the other hand, the Sony X93L, while more expensive, offers better screen brightness, which is great for sunny rooms, and a higher refresh rate that can deliver a smoother experience for sports and gaming. The Sony also includes more advanced audio features but both TVs offer similar sound passthrough capabilities for home theater systems. Give Feedback

The Sony X93L (LCD) and Hisense U6G (LCD) are both very good for news, talk, & other TV, though the Sony X93L (LCD) is somewhat better.
The Hisense U6G excels in upscaling lower resolution content and has a very good SDR brightness, making it suitable for watching news and TV programs in most lighting conditions, though its fair colors out of the box may not be the most accurate initially. In contrast, the Sony X93L offers excellent SDR brightness, enhancing visibility in bright rooms, and very good upscaling with better out-of-the-box color accuracy, paired with a slightly higher local dimming capability and contrast, thus providing an overall more vibrant and crisp viewing experience for similar content.

The Sony X93L (LCD) and Hisense U6G (LCD) are both good for movies & TV.
The Hisense U6G is well-regarded for movies and cinematic TV due to its impressive contrast, effective local dimming, and superior black uniformity which enhances dark scene depiction, although it could have limitation in color aspects and viewing angles. The Sony X93L also excels in displaying movies and cinematic content with high contrast and local dimming features, as well as a better handling of reflections and a wider color volume, but it may fall short in black uniformity compared to the Hisense U6G.
