The Hisense U7H is more affordable and provides a solid overall picture quality, making it suitable for gaming and watching movies and series. It performs adequately in bright rooms and has good sound quality, but it's less impressive for sports content due to subpar performance in that area. In comparison, the Sony X95J is priced at the premium end and offers superior picture quality across the board, which makes it better for watching sports and movies with better performance in bright rooms. It also has great sound with powerful speakers and excels in upscaling and motion processing for a smoother viewing experience. If budget is a concern and you prioritize gaming and general movie watching, the Hisense U7H would be a practical choice. If you are willing to invest more for an enhanced viewing experience, particularly for sports and content in bright rooms, with better motion handling and better built-in audio, the Sony X95J may be the preferred option.

The Sony X95J (LCD) is very good for movies & TV, while the Hisense U7H (LCD) is good.
The Hisense U7H is good for watching movies and cinematic TV due to its local dimming and black uniformity enhancing the contrast of darker scenes, but the Sony X95J is favored for the same content because it has better local dimming which results in superior contrast and black uniformity, providing crisper and more vivid images in a variety of lighting conditions.

The Sony X95J (LCD) is very good for sports, while the Hisense U7H (LCD) is only fair.
The Sony X95J performs better for sports because it has an excellent response time, which ensures smoother motion with less blur, and it handles reflections very well, making it ideal for brightly lit rooms. On the other hand, the Hisense U7H has a poorer response time, leading to comparatively more motion blur during fast-paced sports, and its reflections handling is just fair, which might be less suitable for viewing in well-lit environments.

The Hisense U7H is good for cartoons and animation due to its fair color accuracy out of the box and good color gamut, which provides a wide range of colors, but the Sony X95J is very good because it combines very good color accuracy with a similar color gamut, resulting in more vivid and accurate colors for animated content. Additionally, factors like color volume and gray uniformity are somewhat important; both TVs have very good color volume and fair gray uniformity, with the Sony slightly leading, enhancing the overall viewing experience for animation with better contrast and brightness performance under different content scenarios.

The Sony X95J (LCD) is excellent for bright room, while the Hisense U7H (LCD) is good.
The Sony X95J's greater SDR and HDR brightness compared to the Hisense U7H, combined with superior reflections handling, makes it an excellent choice for well-lit rooms. While both TVs have comparably good contrast and color capabilities, the higher brightness and reflections handling of the Sony provide a clearer picture in bright environments.

Tom's guide
Christian de Looper | December 2022
"We loved the Hisense U7H. It was able to deliver an excellent all-around image quality in its price range. The TV excels at controlling its backlighting in a way that ensures you’ll never experience blooming to a level of being distracting, something that I was a little surprised to see given the lack of Mini LED. The TV doesn’t just get decently bright it offers relatively accurate color reproduction for a TV in this price range. The TV is being billed excellent for gaming."
