If you frequently enjoy gaming and are looking for superior motion processing and lower input lag, the Sony X90J may be the better choice. However, the Hisense U6H is more budget-friendly while still providing good overall picture quality and performance for various content types like movies and news. In bright rooms, both TVs offer decent performance, though the Sony has a slight edge. Note that if you're considering future-proofing for gaming, the Sony supports a higher refresh rate which could be beneficial. Both TVs fall a bit short in terms of wide viewing angles, so if off-angle viewing is important to you, this is a consideration. Neither set excels for sports content. If sound quality is important, they are comparable, so you might want to invest in a separate sound system for either TV. Give Feedback

The Sony X90J (LCD) is good for sports, while the Hisense U6H (LCD) is only fair.
The Sony X90J is better for watching sports mainly due to its very good motion processing and response time, which are crucial for smooth action and fast-paced scenes, while the Hisense U6H has poorer response time which may lead to more motion blur. Additionally, the Sony X90J handles reflections more effectively than the Hisense U6H, important for maintaining a clear picture in bright rooms; however, the Sony has narrower viewing angles, which might be a drawback in wide seating arrangements.

The Sony X90J (LCD) is very good for gaming, while the Hisense U6H (LCD) is only fair.
The Sony X90J excels in gaming due to having very good response time and good input lag, plus a 120Hz screen refresh rate, which provides a smoother gaming experience. In contrast, the Hisense U6H, while having very good input lag, falls short with poor response time and a lower 60Hz refresh rate, resulting in less smooth motion handling.

The Sony X90J (LCD) and Hisense U6H (LCD) are both very good for news, talk, & other TV, though the Sony X90J (LCD) is somewhat better.
The Hisense U6H is well-suited for watching news and TV programs due to its excellent performance in upscaling lower resolution content and its good SDR brightness, ensuring clear images in most viewing environments. The Sony X90J, however, edges out slightly with very good upscaling and SDR brightness, in addition to its good color reproduction out of the box, color gamut, and local dimming capabilities, which contribute to better contrast and more vibrant images, making it a strong choice for the same type of content.

The Sony X90J (LCD) and Hisense U6H (LCD) are both good for bright room, though the Sony X90J (LCD) is somewhat better.
The Hisense U6H has good SDR and fair HDR brightness, making it suitable for watching in well-lit rooms, but its handling of reflections is only fair, which can be troublesome with direct light sources. On the other hand, while the Sony X90J also has very good SDR and good HDR brightness for bright room viewing, its poor reflections handling means it may struggle more with direct light despite being slightly brighter overall.

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. (...)"
