The Hisense U6H is a budget-friendly LCD TV that offers fairly good overall picture quality and is suitable for gaming, watching movies, and viewing cartoons or animations. It will give you a decent experience in bright rooms and has good capability as a monitor. On the other hand, the Sony A95L is an OLED TV that costs significantly more, but it delivers superior picture quality across all content types, including movies, sports, and gaming. It performs very well in both dark and bright rooms. The OLED display provides better viewing angles and superior color performance. Additionally, it comes with better sound quality and advanced features like voice commands. If you prioritize top-of-the-line picture quality, especially for varied content, and are okay with a higher price, the Sony A95L is an excellent choice. However, if you are on a budget but still want a good quality TV that performs well, especially for gaming and as a monitor, the Hisense U6H is a solid option. Give Feedback

The Sony A95L (OLED) is best in class for movies & TV, while the Hisense U6H (LCD) is good.
The Sony A95L stands out with the best contrast, local dimming, and black uniformity, which are vital for watching movies and cinematic TV, ensuring deeper blacks and more nuanced shadows, which are especially noticeable in dark scenes. However, if you have a tight budget, the Hisense U6H offers good performance in these areas at a more affordable price point, though it won't match the Sony's superior viewing angles or the vividness of colors out of the box.

The Sony A95L (OLED) is excellent for bright room, while the Hisense U6H (LCD) is good.
The Sony A95L excels in bright rooms due to its superior ability to produce very high SDR and HDR brightness, along with outstanding reflection handling, making it an excellent choice for brightly lit environments. On the other hand, the Hisense U6H, while offering good performance in SDR brightness and decent reflection handling, doesn't reach the same levels of peak brightness in HDR content, which may make the Sony A95L a better fit for rooms with a lot of ambient light.

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. (...)"
