The Sony X95J (LCD) is very good for movies & TV, while the Hisense U6K (LCD) is good.
The Sony X95J boasts slightly higher contrast, superior local dimming, and better black uniformity compared to the Hisense U6K, making it a better choice for watching movies and cinematic TV in darker rooms where these aspects are crucial. However, the Hisense U6K still performs well with decent out-of-the-box colors and ample color volume, though its gray uniformity and viewing angles fall short of what the Sony offers, which could make it less ideal for wide seating arrangements or varied content viewing.

The Sony X95J (LCD) is very good for sports, while the Hisense U6K (LCD) is only fair.
The Sony X95J delivers smoother motion during sports due to its superior motion processing and faster response time, ensuring clearer action scenes and less motion blur. Conversely, the Hisense U6K, while offering decent performance, may show more blur in fast-moving sports and isn't as effective at handling reflections, which can be distracting in brightly lit environments.

The Sony X95J (LCD) and Hisense U6K (LCD) are both very good for cartoons & animation, though the Sony X95J (LCD) is somewhat better.
The Hisense U6K is well-suited for cartoons and animation due to its very good colors directly out of the box and a strong color gamut that makes on-screen images vibrant. The Sony X95J also delivers a captivating viewing experience with very good colors straight out of the box, assuring that animated content looks lively and pleasing, although its color gamut is slightly behind the Hisense U6K, subtly affecting the range of colors displayed.

The Sony X95J (LCD) is excellent for news, talk, & other TV, while the Hisense U6K (LCD) is good.
The Sony X95J has better upscaling, important for lower-resolution content like standard TV broadcasts, and has a stronger SDR brightness, making it excellent for watching news and talk shows, particularly in well-lit environments. In contrast, while the Hisense U6K still provides good performance for such content, its capabilities in these areas are not as pronounced, meaning that the Sony may offer a more vibrant and sharper view, translating to a more pleasurable viewing experience for everyday programming.

The Sony X95J (LCD) is excellent for bright room, while the Hisense U6K (LCD) is only fair.
The Sony X95J is excellent for bright rooms because it has very good SDR and excellent HDR brightness, which means it's more capable of overcoming ambient light, and it handles reflections better than the Hisense U6K, making it more suitable for well-lit environments. While the Hisense U6K offers good SDR and fair HDR brightness, which is adequate for moderately lit rooms, its reflection handling is ranked as fair, which means it may struggle with direct light compared to the Sony.
