If you're on a budget, the Hisense U6G is significantly less expensive and still delivers a good overall performance for various types of content, including movies, sports, and gaming. However, if you're looking for a TV that offers a premium experience with better reflection handling and higher peak brightness, which makes it suitable for brighter rooms, as well as a more pleasing movie and gaming experience due to better color accuracy and motion handling, the Sony X95J might be the right choice for you, although it comes at a higher price tag. Keep in mind that the Hisense U6G has a 60Hz panel and the Sony X95J has a 120Hz panel, which may matter for gaming. Sony's model also generally has better sound quality and more advanced features.

The Sony X95J (LCD) is very good for sports, while the Hisense U6G (LCD) is only fair.
The Sony X95J boasts superior motion processing and response time, making fast-paced actions during sports more fluid and less blurry compared to the Hisense U6G, which is just `fair` in motion processing and response time. Additionally, the Sony provides better reflections handling and a wider viewing angle, ensuring a clearer viewing experience from different positions, while the Hisense U6G has more limited viewing angles and weaker reflection mitigation, although it has slightly `better gray uniformity`.

The Sony X95J (LCD) is very good for gaming, while the Hisense U6G (LCD) is only fair.
The Sony X95J (LCD) provides a better gaming experience than the Hisense U6G (LCD) due to its higher refresh rate and superior response time, leading to smoother motion. Furthermore, while both have low input lag, making them responsive to in-game commands, the refresh rate of the Sony X95J is twice that of the Hisense U6G, making it particularly advantageous for fast-paced gaming.

The Sony X95J (LCD) and Hisense U6G (LCD) are both very good for cartoons & animation, though the Sony X95J (LCD) is somewhat better.
The Hisense U6G is rated as having fair colors straight out of the box which might not provide the most vivid experience for cartoons and animations right away, whereas the Sony X95J excels in this area, offering very good color accuracy without the need for adjustment, enhancing the immediacy of the animated content. Both TVs have a very good color gamut, ensuring a wide range of colors, but the Hisense U6G also shows excellent color volume, which means it can display a wide range of colors at different luminance levels, however, the Sony X95J stands out with its color out of the box performance, making it particularly compelling for vibrant cartoons and animations.

The Sony X95J (LCD) is excellent for news, talk, & other TV, while the Hisense U6G (LCD) is very good.
The Hisense U6G is rated very good for upscaling and SDR brightness, making it quite suitable for watching news and regular TV programming. In contrast, the Sony X95J offers even better upscaling and SDR brightness, as well as superior color accuracy out of the box and local dimming which might justify its higher price if these qualities are a priority.

The Sony X95J (LCD) is excellent for bright room, while the Hisense U6G (LCD) is good.
The Sony X95J outshines the Hisense U6G in a bright room because the Sony has higher HDR brightness and is better at handling reflections, which makes it more suitable for well-lit environments. While both TVs have 'Very Good' SDR brightness, the Hisense U6G doesn't perform as well with reflections, which can be a drawback in sunny rooms.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Sony X95J (LCD) to be very good for movies & TV, while the Hisense U6G (LCD) is good.
The Hisense U6G is praised for its high contrast and exceptional black uniformity, which provide deep blacks and enhance movie viewing in dark rooms, but its limited local dimming could hinder the experience slightly. On the other hand, the Sony X95J, while also having high contrast, comes with superior local dimming that enhances the viewing experience, particularly in scenes with a mix of light and dark content, although it has lower black uniformity, which might make blacks appear slightly grayer.
