The Hisense U6H is a budget-priced TV, significantly cheaper than the Sony X90L. If you are looking to save money, the Hisense U6H may be the right choice. However, the Sony X90L, while typically more expensive, offers a higher refresh rate beneficial for fast-moving content like sports and gaming, and better performance in a well-lit room. The Sony model also supports more advanced audio formats and has a 120Hz panel compared to Hisense's 60Hz, which translates to smoother motion. If your priority is higher quality for action-packed content and a brighter room setting, the Sony X90L might be worth the extra investment. Give Feedback

The Sony X90L (LCD) is very good for gaming, while the Hisense U6H (LCD) is only fair.
The Sony X90L is considered very good for gaming because it has a very good response time and input lag, which means it handles fast-moving content well and is responsive to gaming inputs. In contrast, while the Hisense U6H has very good input lag, which is suitable for gaming, its response time is fair, making it less ideal for fast-paced games where quick screen transitions are critical.

The Sony X90L (LCD) is excellent for news, talk, & other TV, while the Hisense U6H (LCD) is very good.
The Hisense U6H is very good for watching news and TV programs as it handles upscaling from lower-resolution content well and offers good brightness for SDR content, but the Sony X90L excels due to its superior upscaling capabilities and even higher SDR brightness, ensuring clearer images and more vivid colors even in well-lit rooms. Both TVs display accurate colors out of the box, with the Sony X90L having slightly better color gamut and contrast management, which contributes to richer and more consistent image quality for everyday viewing situations.

The Sony X90L (LCD) is very good for bright room, while the Hisense U6H (LCD) is good.
The Sony X90L handles reflections better and offers superior color volume, which, combined with its excellent SDR and very good HDR brightness, makes it more suitable for bright rooms than the Hisense U6H, which has good SDR and fair HDR brightness but doesn't handle reflections as effectively. Contrast and color gamut are important as well; both TVs have similar contrast ratios, but the Sony edges out slightly in color gamut, contributing to its overall better performance in well-lit environments.

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. (...)"
