If you prioritize budget and are looking for a lower-priced option, the Hisense U6K would save you money and still provide good overall picture quality for a variety of content including movies and gaming. However, it does not perform as well in bright rooms and its sound quality isn't as good as the Sony A95K's. On the other hand, if you're willing to invest in a top-tier viewing experience with stunning picture quality for all content types and great performance in both dark and bright rooms, the Sony A95K is an excellent choice. It also has better sound quality and is better suited for wide seating arrangements due to its superior viewing angles. Keep in mind, this will come at a higher price point. Give Feedback

The Sony A95K (OLED) is best in class for movies & TV, while the Hisense U6K (LCD) is good.
The Sony A95K excels in producing perfect blacks and has superior contrast, local dimming, and black uniformity, which is essential for watching movies and cinematic content, specifically due to its OLED technology. In comparison, while the Hisense U6K offers favorable color accuracy and color volume, its LCD screen struggles with black uniformity and local dimming which can lessen the viewing experience in dark scenes, despite being suitable for most content in well-lit rooms.

The Sony A95K (OLED) is best in class for sports, while the Hisense U6K (LCD) is only fair.
The Sony A95K performs better for watching sports mainly because of its superior motion processing and response time, which minimizes blur during fast action and provides smoother motion, while the Hisense U6K suffers in these areas. Additionally, the Sony A95K has better viewing angles and handles reflections more effectively, ensuring a clear picture from various seating positions and in well-lit rooms, unlike the Hisense U6K which may struggle with these factors.

The Sony A95K (OLED) is very good for gaming, while the Hisense U6K (LCD) is only fair.
The Sony A95K is very good for gaming because it has excellent response time and the best input lag performance, which ensures quick screen transitions and minimal delay between input and on-screen action. In contrast, the Hisense U6K has fair response time and very good input lag, which may not be as smooth or as responsive for gaming, especially fast-paced games, but it still offers a decent experience for casual gaming.

The Sony A95K (OLED) is best in class for cartoons & animation, while the Hisense U6K (LCD) is very good.
The Sony A95K excels with exceptional colors straight out of the box, a wide color gamut, and superb color volume, making it an ideal choice for vivid and accurate animation. However, the Hisense U6K, while offering good performance in these areas, doesn't match the Sony's level of color precision and richness, which is especially noticeable in animated content where color quality is crucial.

The Sony A95K (OLED) is best in class for news, talk, & other TV, while the Hisense U6K (LCD) is good.
The Hisense U6K has good SDR brightness which is suitable for watching news and talk shows under various lighting conditions and performs well with upscaling content to its native resolution, but it has a narrower color gamut and less effective local dimming compared to OLED TVs. On the other hand, the Sony A95K, with its OLED screen, offers excellent contrast and color performance right out of the box, providing a richer and more immersive viewing experience for similar content, but it may not be as bright as some high-end LCD TVs in well-lit rooms.

The Sony A95K (OLED) is very good for bright room, while the Hisense U6K (LCD) is only fair.
The Sony A95K outperforms the Hisense U6K in bright room viewing primarily because it has superior brightness in both standard and high dynamic range content, coupled with the best reflections handling, which reduces the impact of ambient light on the viewing experience. Additionally, the Sony A95K excels in contrast, color volume, and color gamut which contribute to a more vibrant and lifelike picture compared to the Hisense U6K that has good performance in these areas but is not on par with the Sony.

Caleb Denison | March 2022
"A95K will be one of the highest-performing TVs of the year, if not the hottest TV of 2022. The color on the Sony A95K is the most accurate I have ever seen. Certain hues of red just haven’t been produced on a TV … until now. Perhaps with deeper scrutiny, I may one day find some nit to pick, but in the time I was able to spend with the A95K, I was simply thrilled."
