The Sony X95K is a 65-inch TV that offers superior performance in both dark and bright rooms, making it ideal for a wide range of lighting conditions. It has excellent picture quality and color accuracy, which is great for movies and sports. However, its viewing angles are somewhat limited, so it's best for settings where viewers are directly in front of the screen. The motion processing is top-notch, beneficial for fast-paced content like games and sports. It also has very good sound quality right out of the box. On the other hand, the Hisense UX is an 85-inch TV with a larger screen that's perfect for an immersive experience, especially with its best-in-class HDR brightness and color volume, enhancing the vibrancy of movies and games. It has a fair performance in dark rooms and is excellent in bright rooms, thanks to its miniLED FALD technology. The Hisense UX also has wider viewing angles, which is great if you have a large seating area. It comes with advanced features like voice commands and has a more robust sound system with a higher speaker power, but it falls short in color accuracy out of the box and has a slower response time, which might affect gaming performance. Consider the Sony X95K if you prioritize picture quality, color accuracy, and a better gaming experience in a moderately sized room. Opt for the Hisense UX if you want a larger screen, better HDR performance, and wider viewing angles, and if you're less concerned with precise color accuracy and response time for gaming.

The Hisense UX (LCD) and Sony X95K (LCD) are both very good for movies & TV, though the Hisense UX (LCD) is somewhat better.
The Hisense UX excels in movie watching experiences, particularly in dark rooms, thanks to its outstanding contrast ratio, excellent black uniformity, and highly effective local dimming which improves the depth of blacks in scenes. Conversely, the Sony X95K offers vibrant and accurate colors right out of the box and its local dimming and contrast capabilities, while not as pronounced as the Hisense UX's, still contribute to a very good movie and cinematic TV watching environment; it does, however, fall behind in black uniformity, which might affect dark scene reproduction in comparison.

The Sony X95K (LCD) is very good for sports, while the Hisense UX (LCD) is only fair.
The Sony X95K (LCD) is considered better for watching sports primarily because it has a significantly higher motion processing capability, which is crucial for maintaining clarity during fast-moving scenes typical in sports. Additionally, while both TVs handle reflections very well and have similar viewing angles which are important for sports viewing with friends, the Hisense UX's lower motion processing performance compared to the Sony X95K's perfect score detracts from its ability to display fast-paced games as smoothly.

The Hisense UX (LCD) and Sony X95K (LCD) are both best in class for bright room.
The Hisense UX excels in very bright rooms due to its superior SDR and HDR brightness and exceptional handling of reflections, ensuring clear images even in well-lit environments. On the other hand, the Sony X95K also performs remarkably well in bright settings with excellent SDR and HDR brightness and very good reflection handling, but the Hisense UX has a slight edge in overall brightness and reflection management which might be more appealing for those prioritizing performance in very luminous spaces.

About Hisense
Hisense, a Chinese TV manufacturer, entered the US market in approximately 2011 and has since acquired TV divisions from various companies such as Toshiba, Sharp, Hitachi, and NEC. Currently ranking as the fourth largest vendor in terms of sales volume, Hisense aims to capture a wide range of TV budget segments. They offer exceptional value with TVs that often outperform their competitors at similar price points, making them a compelling choice for consumers. In the US, they use Google TV as their smart TV software which provides the largest app selection and a very modern user interface, however it is not as user friendly as the software from other vendors.
About Sony
Sony stands as a highly experienced and widely trusted TV manufacturer, earning a reputation that surpasses all others. A Japanese company, Sony has been making TVs for far longs than it has been making Playstation game consoles. Sony's high-end TVs are often regarded as the ultimate choice for videophiles, representing the epitome of quality, albeit at a premium price point. Renowned for their advanced and precise motion handling, as well as their cutting-edge local dimming algorithms, Sony consistently delivers unparalleled performance in these areas. They include Google TV software with all their TV sets, which grants access to the largest selection of apps available and they also include Bravia Core which is a movie streaming platform specifically for Sony TVs that offers higher picture quality by using more bandwidth.
