If you prioritize a high-quality picture and have a higher budget, the Sony A95L (OLED) is an excellent choice, especially for watching movies in both dark and brightly lit rooms. Its excellent wide viewing angles also make it suitable for larger gatherings. On the other hand, if you're looking to spend less and need a TV that performs well for a variety of content including sports, news, and regular TV shows, the Hisense U6K (LCD) will serve you well. However, it won't deliver the same level of picture quality as the Sony, especially in dark room settings. Give Feedback

The Sony A95L (OLED) is best in class for movies & TV, while the Hisense U6K (LCD) is good.
The Sony A95L OLED provides the best in class contrast, black uniformity, and viewing angles, which are crucial for a cinematic experience, whereas the Hisense U6K LCD, despite its good performance in these areas, doesn't match up to the OLED's superior display qualities. When considering out-of-the-box color accuracy, color volume, and gray uniformity, the A95L again stands out with the best and excellent ratings, while the U6K provides very good and good performance, so the LCD might require more adjustments for optimal picture quality compared to the OLED.

The Sony A95L (OLED) is best in class for sports, while the Hisense U6K (LCD) is only fair.
The Sony A95L excels in sports viewing due to its superior motion processing and reflection handling, offering a clearer picture with less blur during fast action and fewer distractions from lighting in the room. Conversely, the Hisense U6K performs reasonably but falls short with lower ratings in key areas for sports such as motion processing and viewing angles, which may result in less fluid movement on screen and color shifts when viewed from the side.

The Sony A95L (OLED) is best in class for gaming, while the Hisense U6K (LCD) is only fair.
The Sony A95L is considered best for gaming largely due to its outstanding response time and input lag performance, being ideal for fast-moving visuals without delay, which is crucial for gaming. On the other hand, the Hisense U6K, while still offering a good experience, has fair response time and very good input lag, which are decent but not as optimized for gaming as the Sony A95L, particularly affecting fast-paced action games.

The Sony A95L (OLED) is best in class for news, talk, & other TV, while the Hisense U6K (LCD) is good.
The Sony A95L delivers a better SDR brightness and excels at upscaling, making it superior for watching news, talk shows, and other TV programs, especially in brighter rooms; its colors directly out of the box are also optimal, contributing to immediate viewing pleasure. The Hisense U6K, while good at upscaling and SDR brightness, falls short compared to the A95L but still provides a satisfactory experience for the same content.

The Sony A95L (OLED) is excellent for bright room, while the Hisense U6K (LCD) is only fair.
The Hisense U6K is less suited for bright rooms primarily due to its fair reflection handling and lower brightness in both SDR and HDR, which can result in the picture appearing dim under bright conditions. In contrast, the Sony A95L excels in bright environments with its superior reflection handling and higher SDR and HDR brightness, making it more capable of producing a vibrant image even in well-lit rooms.
