If you are looking for a more budget-friendly option, the Hisense U6H is significantly less expensive and offers a good overall experience with high peak brightness, which is great for watching in bright rooms. However, if picture quality, especially for movies and dark room viewing, is a priority and you're willing to invest more, the Sony A80J with its OLED panel provides superior contrast, color, and motion handling, making it a standout choice for cinematic content. The Sony A80J also excels in gaming performance if you have a gaming console that can take advantage of its 120Hz display, though the Hisense U6H is still quite capable for casual gaming.

The Sony A80J (OLED) is excellent for movies & TV, while the Hisense U6H (LCD) is good.
The Sony A80J excels in contrast, local dimming, and black uniformity, providing deep blacks and vibrant colors, making it excellent for movies and cinematic TV; however, it's typically more expensive compared to the Hisense U6H which still offers good performance in these areas but may not match the Sony's superior results, particularly in dark room conditions. The Hisense U6H, while more affordable, also presents good color quality out of the box and has decent viewing angles, but it might fall short in achieving the same deep blacks and fine shadow details that you get with the Sony A80J's OLED panel.

The Sony A80J (OLED) is excellent for sports, while the Hisense U6H (LCD) is only fair.
The Sony A80J (OLED) excels in watching sports due to its excellent response time and motion processing, allowing for clear images with little blur during fast action, and its wider viewing angle which maintains color accuracy when seen from the side, paired with better handling of reflections and superior gray uniformity. In contrast, the Hisense U6H (LCD) is rated fair in these areas because it has slower response times leading to more motion blur, its lower reflections handling capability can make it harder to view in well-lit environments, and with a narrower viewing angle, the image may look washed out when viewed from the side.

The Sony A80J (OLED) is very good for gaming, while the Hisense U6H (LCD) is only fair.
The Sony A80J is considered very good for gaming partly because of its excellent response time, which is important in delivering smoother motion, and it also offers good input lag for responsive gameplay. On the other hand, the Hisense U6H is considered fair for gaming, suffering from a poorer response time meaning it may not handle fast-moving scenes as well, although it has very good input lag performance, making it still quite responsive to gaming inputs.

Tom's guide
Matthew Murray | March 2023
"A budget TV that exceeds expectations. (...) For a TV that costs as little as this one does, its brightness and color are above-average (...) The U6H may not get quite as bright as its splashier siblings, but for its class, it fares pretty well. (...) As far as input lag, the U6H is an impressive performer. (...) Costing less than most of its direct competitors, and matching or bettering them in several key areas, it’s an irresistible value proposition. (...)"

"For home cinema fans the Sony A80J puts in a talented HDR performance, while daytime TV viewers benefit from its impressive upscaling and motion processing. Whites are portrayed in a clean and bright manner and black levels are strong, making for a very satisfying and consistent HD upscale. The A80J’s motion processing is hugely impressive. The Sony A80J takes content at any resolution and makes it look great, its motion skills are class-leading and its HDR performance boasts plenty of detail, contrast and expressive colours."
