The Hisense U6G is much less expensive than the Sony X95K and would still offer a good viewing experience for movies and general TV watching. However, the Sony X95K would provide a superior experience for sports and gaming due to its higher refresh rate and better brightness handling, which means it may be better suited for bright rooms. If you're a cinephile or a gamer and willing to invest in a higher quality picture and performance, the Sony could be worth the extra cost. If cost is a major concern and you mainly watch movies or stream content in a darker environment, the Hisense should suffice. Give Feedback

The Sony X95K (LCD) is very good for sports, while the Hisense U6G (LCD) is only fair.
The Sony X95K is superior for sports due to its excellent motion processing and better handling of reflections, which keeps the picture clear during fast action and in bright rooms. Conversely, the Hisense U6G, while fair in these aspects, has slower response times and poorer reflection handling, resulting in a less ideal experience for fast-paced sports content.

The Hisense U6G is recognized for displaying cartoons and animations well due to its satisfying color reproduction straight out of the box and a very good color gamut, ensuring a wide range of vibrant colors. On the other side, the Sony X95K is also adept in this regard with very good colors out of the box and a good color gamut, paired with slightly better gray uniformity and superior SDR brightness, making it suitable for bright room viewing; however, both sets offer comparable color volumes, essential for depicting a full spectrum of colors at various brightness levels.

The Sony X95K (LCD) is best in class for bright room, while the Hisense U6G (LCD) is good.
The Sony X95K outshines the Hisense U6G in a bright room because of its excellent HDR and SDR brightness levels, which allow the picture to remain vibrant even under bright lighting, paired with very good performance in handling reflections, reducing glare. The Hisense U6G, while offering good SDR and HDR brightness and fair reflection handling, may not maintain picture quality as effectively compared to the Sony X95K in similarly well-lit environments.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Sony X95K (LCD) to be very good for movies & TV, while the Hisense U6G (LCD) is good.
The Hisense U6G delivers deep blacks due to its high contrast and excellent black uniformity, which enhances movie watching in dark rooms, but its colors might not be as vibrant as some higher-end models. The Sony X95K, on the other hand, not only provides a high contrast ratio and better local dimming, which is crucial for a cinematic experience, but also offers wider viewing angles and more accurate colors out of the box, better catering to group viewings with its overall superior picture quality.
