The Hisense U6H is a budget-friendly LCD TV that is typically much less expensive than the Sony A95K, which is a high-end OLED TV. If you're looking for high-quality picture and sound and are willing to pay more, the Sony A95K offers superior overall picture quality, gaming experience, sports content viewing, dark room performance, and bright room usage. It also has better color accuracy and viewing angles, making it a good choice for varied content consumption.
On the other hand, if you prefer to save money and still get a good quality TV, the Hisense U6H delivers decent performance, especially in dark rooms, and has good upscaling for lower resolution content. It is also fairly good for watching movies, news, and animations. However, it won't perform as well as the Sony A95K in bright rooms or provide the same level of experience for gaming, sports, or when viewing from wide angles.
Ultimately, if your budget allows and you want the best visual and sound quality, the Sony A95K would be the better choice. If you're looking for value and good performance at a lower cost, the Hisense U6H is a solid option. Give Feedback

The Sony A95K (OLED) is best in class for movies & TV, while the Hisense U6H (LCD) is good.
The Hisense U6H provides decent contrast, local dimming, and black uniformity, making it suitable for movies and cinematic TV, yet struggles with viewing angles and high-quality gray uniformity. In contrast, the Sony A95K excels in these areas, offering superior contrast, perfect black uniformity, and wider viewing angles, resulting in an outstanding cinematic experience, albeit typically at a higher price point.

The Sony A95K (OLED) is best in class for sports, while the Hisense U6H (LCD) is only fair.
The Sony A95K excels at watching sports due to its outstanding motion processing, perfect response time, and excellent reflection handling, which are crucial for fast-paced action and various viewing environments. On the other hand, the Hisense U6H, despite being capable, has lower motion processing capability, slower response time, and poorer reflection handling, which may reduce clarity during fast-moving sports and when viewed from wider angles.

The Sony A95K (OLED) is very good for gaming, while the Hisense U6H (LCD) is only fair.
The Sony A95K (OLED) outshines the Hisense U6H (LCD) for gaming primarily due to a superior response time and lower input lag, making onscreen movement look smoother and gameplay feel more responsive. While both TVs support essential gaming features, the OLED's higher refresh rate also contributes to a smoother gaming experience than what the LCD offers.

The Sony A95K (OLED) is best in class for cartoons & animation, while the Hisense U6H (LCD) is very good.
The Sony A95K OLED TV is considered best for watching cartoons and animation as it offers excellent colors out of the box and a superior color volume, ensuring vibrant and consistent colors across a wide range of hues. In contrast, the Hisense U6H LCD TV, despite its excellent colors out of the box, has a less expansive color volume, which means while the initial color quality is high, it may not maintain that quality across all shades and intensities.

The Sony A95K (OLED) is very good for bright room, while the Hisense U6H (LCD) is good.
The Sony A95K handles reflections better than the Hisense U6H, making it more suitable for a bright room, and while both TVs have good SDR brightness, the Sony A95K also has a very good HDR brightness contributing to a brighter image in high dynamic range content. However, the Hisense U6H, being an LCD TV, offers good performance in bright rooms at a lower price point than the OLED Sony A95K, with the tradeoff being slightly less superior in terms of reflection handling and HDR brightness.

"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. (...)"
"A95K will be one of the highest-performing TVs of the year, if not the hottest TV of 2022. The color on the Sony A95K is the most accurate I have ever seen. Certain hues of red just haven’t been produced on a TV … until now. Perhaps with deeper scrutiny, I may one day find some nit to pick, but in the time I was able to spend with the A95K, I was simply thrilled."
