The Hisense U6K is a more budget-friendly option and performs respectably overall. It's a good choice if you want a solid experience for watching movies and series, as well as for gaming. However, its performance in a bright room is just adequate and it might not handle reflections as well as other TVs. The Sony A90J, on the other hand, is a high-end model with superior picture quality, especially in dark rooms, thanks to its OLED screen. It performs exceptionally well for sports content and has great sound quality with its built-in speakers. Despite this, it's less bright than some LCD TVs, which can be a disadvantage in a very bright room, but its reflection handling is very good. If you prioritize picture quality and can afford a higher price, the Sony A90J will offer a premium viewing experience. If you're looking for value and still want a good quality TV without the premium cost, the Hisense U6K is a sensible choice. Give Feedback

The Sony A90J (OLED) is excellent for movies & TV, while the Hisense U6K (LCD) is good.
The Sony A90J, with its OLED panel, offers perfect black uniformity and contrast, along with effective local dimming, providing an exceptional movie and cinematic TV experience with very accurate colors and wide viewing angles. The Hisense U6K, while good for movies and cinematic TV, has a lower contrast ratio and black uniformity due to its LCD panel, and its local dimming is less effective than the Sony's, resulting in a less immersive experience, especially in dark scenes.

The Sony A90J (OLED) is excellent for sports, while the Hisense U6K (LCD) is only fair.
The Sony A90J excels in watching sports due to its excellent motion processing and response time, ensuring smooth action with minimal blur, and its ability to handle reflections better, making it suitable for bright rooms. However, the Hisense U6K, while fair for sports, has poorer motion processing and a slower response time, which can result in more blur during fast movement, and it doesn't handle reflections as well, which could be problematic in well-lit environments.

The Sony A90J (OLED) is very good for gaming, while the Hisense U6K (LCD) is only fair.
The Sony A90J excels in gaming partly due to its OLED panel that offers an excellent response time, meaning on-screen action is displayed without delay, while the Hisense U6K, with an LCD panel, offers only a fair response time which might result in more noticeable blur in fast-paced games. Additionally, both TVs have very good input lag, ensuring that the delay between pressing a button on a game controller and seeing the action on-screen is minimal, but the Sony's superior response time sets it apart for a smoother gaming experience.

The Sony A90J (OLED) is very good for news, talk, & other TV, while the Hisense U6K (LCD) is good.
The Hisense U6K, with its fair color out-of-the-box accuracy and decent upscaling, is suitable for regular TV programs, but might not shine brightly enough in well-lit environments. On the other hand, the Sony A90J offers excellent upscaling and color accuracy straight out of the box, providing a superior watching experience for news and talk shows even in bright rooms, at the expense of a higher price.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Sony A90J (OLED) to be good for bright room, while the Hisense U6K (LCD) is only fair.
The Hisense U6K has good SDR brightness but fair reflection handling, which may compromise its performance in a well-lit room compared to the Sony A90J, which has good SDR and HDR brightness and excellent reflection handling, ensuring better visibility in bright conditions. While broad color volumes and gamuts are important for both, they're secondary to how well each TV handles bright room conditions.

"In every meaningful department – motion control, contrast, edge definition, detail levels, you name it the A90J puts in a memorably accomplished shift. In fact, the Sony proves outstanding at handling on-screen motion of any and every kind. By the standards of television audio systems, the A90J is a notably punchy and genuinely dynamic performer."
