If you're highly interested in gaming, the Sony X90K offers considerably better performance, which could enhance your overall gaming experience. On the other hand, if budget is a significant concern, the Hisense U6H will cost you less while still providing a good picture quality, especially for watching movies or series. Both perform reasonably well in bright rooms, with the Sony X90K having a slight edge. For sports content, the Sony X90K also has an advantage. If absolute picture quality is your priority and budget is less of a constraint, the Sony X90K may be the preferable option. However, if you want to save money and still get a TV that offers good quality for mixed usage, the Hisense U6H is worth considering. Give Feedback

The Sony X90K (LCD) is good for sports, while the Hisense U6H (LCD) is only fair.
The Sony X90K has a superior response time which is very important for sports, providing smoother motion handling, while the Hisense U6H lags behind in response time, which can result in blurrier images during fast-paced scenes. Both TVs are equipped to handle reflections adequately, but the Sony X90K's advantage in motion processing gives it the edge for sports viewing.

The Sony X90K (LCD) is very good for gaming, while the Hisense U6H (LCD) is only fair.
The Sony X90K is better for gaming than the Hisense U6H because the Sony has a higher response time, which means less blur during fast-moving scenes and a lower input lag that makes gaming more responsive to controller inputs. While these advantages make the Sony a better choice for serious gamers, the decision also hinges on the higher price point, which is justified by these performance enhancements.

The Sony X90K (LCD) is very good for bright room, while the Hisense U6H (LCD) is good.
The Sony X90K performs very well in bright rooms due to its higher SDR and HDR brightness, helping it to maintain a clear image even when there’s a lot of ambient light, but like the Hisense U6H, its reflections handling is only fair, meaning screen glare could still be an issue in both TVs. While the Hisense U6H is considered good with SDR content brightness and only fair with HDR, it would be less ideal than the Sony X90K for brightly lit environments.

The Hisense U6H (LCD) and Sony X90K (LCD) are both good for movies & TV.
The Hisense U6H and Sony X90K both have high contrast and similar black uniformity, making them good for viewing movies with deep blacks and dark scenes; the Sony offers slightly better local dimming which is crucial for enhancing the picture quality in dark scenes. While both are decent in color performance out of the box and have a sufficient color volume, the Hisense has a slight edge in gray uniformity which can be important for scenes with uniform colors, but it has more limited viewing angles as compared to the Sony.

The Hisense U6H (LCD) and Sony X90K (LCD) are both very good for cartoons & animation.
The Hisense U6H performs exceptionally with colors out of the box, providing vibrant images ideal for cartoons and animation, and while it has a good color volume and gamut that make for vivid picture quality, its gray uniformity and SDR brightness are merely passable. The Sony X90K, on the other hand, offers good performance in terms of colors out of the box, color gamut, and volume, and stands out with its excellent contrast and SDR brightness, leading to sharp and bright images suitable for animated content.

The Sony X90K (LCD) and Hisense U6H (LCD) are both very good for news, talk, & other TV.
The Hisense U6H is adept at upscaling lower-resolution content from news and talk shows, providing good SDR brightness to make viewing enjoyable even in well-lit rooms. In contrast, the Sony X90K excels in the same aspects, with even better upscaling and SDR brightness, and also offers improved local dimming, which enhances contrast, making it an excellent choice for watching these types of programs.

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. (...)"

"As Sony’s next-to-flagship LCD TV, the X90K series delivers impressive performance for the price. The XR90K had fairly accurate out-of-box color. The TV’s multi-position stand lets you either set the screen flush with any stand its mounted on or elevate it to clear space for a soundbar. With the latter option, you get around 3 inches of clearance enough to accommodate most soundbars. The X90K’s excellent suite of gaming features ranks it up there with the best 120 Hz 4K TVs."
