If you have a limited budget and want a good TV for mixed usage, the Hisense U6G could be a good choice as it offers a decent picture quality at a lower price point. However, it might not be as bright as the Sony X95L, which can be advantageous if you frequently watch in a sunny room or if you're particularly keen on having a TV with excellent brightness and superior picture processing, which enhances your viewing experience for movies, sports, and gaming. The Sony X95L is a higher-end option that will deliver better overall performance, especially in terms of picture quality and motion handling, but it comes at a significantly higher cost. If you're willing to invest more for these enhancements, the Sony X95L would be the better option. Give Feedback
