The Sony X95L (LCD) is very good for sports, while the Hisense U6H (LCD) is only fair.

Additionally, the X95L manages reflections better and has wider viewing angles, ensuring consistent picture quality across different seating positions and in various lighting conditions, while both TVs have decent gray uniformity, a somewhat important factor for sports viewing.

The Sony X95L (LCD) is very good for gaming, while the Hisense U6H (LCD) is only fair.
The Hisense U6H has a response time that's not ideal for fast-paced gaming, while the Sony X95L features a much more effective response time and supports a higher refresh rate of 120Hz, essential for smoother gameplay. Additionally, the input lag, which is the delay between an input and the screen visibly reacting, is better on the Hisense U6H, but the Sony X95L's overall gaming performance is enhanced by its superior response time and refresh rate capabilities.

The Sony X95L (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 because it has good upscaling and SDR brightness, ensuring clear images on lower resolution content often found in standard broadcasts. The Sony X95L, however, excels in these viewing conditions due to its excellent SDR brightness and very good upscaling, coupled with better colors out of the box, which makes for a vibrant and sharp viewing experience even in brightly lit rooms.

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. (...)"
