If you prioritize a larger screen and top-notch performance and are willing to invest more, the Sony X95L is superior, especially for bright room viewing and in overall picture quality. On the other hand, the Hisense U6K offers decent quality at a significantly lower price, but it may not perform as well in bright rooms or provide as rich a viewing experience. The Sony model also excels in sports and fast-action content due to its higher refresh rate and processing power. Choose the Hisense if budget is the main concern and you primarily watch in dimmer environments; opt for the Sony if performance and a premium experience are paramount. Give Feedback

The Sony X95L (LCD) is very good for movies & TV, while the Hisense U6K (LCD) is good.
The Sony X95L is better for movies and cinematic TV due to its higher contrast, more effective local dimming, and superior black uniformity, which are crucial for dark scene performance, while a somewhat wider viewing angle and better gray uniformity enhance overall picture quality. The Hisense U6K, while still good for these purposes, falls short in these particular areas, offering less contrast and local dimming capability, and less uniform blacks and grays, which may lead to a less immersive viewing experience.

The Sony X95L (LCD) is very good for sports, while the Hisense U6K (LCD) is only fair.
The Sony X95L delivers a very good watching experience for sports due to its high motion processing capability and better handling of reflections, which is beneficial in brightly lit rooms. In contrast, the Hisense U6K is fair for sports as it has a lower motion processing capability and is less effective at reducing reflections, making it less suitable for viewing in well-lit environments.

The Sony X95L (LCD) is very good for gaming, while the Hisense U6K (LCD) is only fair.
The Sony X95L is considered very good for gaming largely because it has a very good response time, reducing motion blur and making on-screen action look smoother, whereas the Hisense U6K is only categorized as fair in response time, which could result in more noticeable blur during fast-paced games. Additionally, both TVs have a very good score for input lag, which implies that gamers can expect a minimal delay between their input on a controller and the action occurring on-screen; however, the superior response time of the Sony X95L gives it an edge for a more fluid gaming experience.

The Sony X95L (LCD) is excellent for cartoons & animation, while the Hisense U6K (LCD) is very good.
The Sony X95L excels at displaying cartoons and animation due to its superior color accuracy right out of the box and its excellent color volume, which ensures a wide and consistent range of colors. In contrast, while the Hisense U6K is very good for these genres, it trails slightly in color volume and the quality of colors out of the box, making the Sony X95L a better option for viewers who prioritize color performance.
