The Sony X95J (LCD) is very good for sports, while the Hisense U6H (LCD) is only fair.
The Sony X95J excels at watching sports due to its very good motion processing and response time, ensuring smoother play and clearer fast-moving images, and it copes well with reflections and has a wider viewing angle than the Hisense U6H. In contrast, the Hisense U6H has poor motion processing and response time, meaning it may not display fast-paced sports as smoothly, and while its viewing angle is narrower, which can affect viewing from the side, it's still adequate at handling reflections.

The Sony X95J (LCD) is excellent for news, talk, & other TV, while the Hisense U6H (LCD) is very good.
The Hisense U6H offers good upscaling and colors out of the box, which makes it a solid option for watching news and talk shows, but with a good SDR brightness level, it might not be the best pick for very brightly lit rooms. The Sony X95J, on the other hand, excels in upscaling and colors right out the box, and with its very good SDR brightness, it stands out for its ability to handle well-lit environments, making it an excellent choice for daytime viewing of regular TV programs.

Both the Hisense U6H and the Sony X95J offer good colors straight out of the box and color volume, but the Sony X95J edges ahead with somewhat better gray uniformity and viewing angles, adding to a more versatile viewing experience.
