The Sony X93L is a wise choice if you prioritize a superior streaming experience, top-notch picture quality in both dark and bright rooms, and exceptional motion processing for sports and action movies, despite its premium price. It's also a better fit for a smaller space or where a soundbar is used, given its flexible stand positions. However, if you're looking for a larger screen experience and are willing to compromise slightly on picture quality for a better gaming experience, the Hisense UX is the way to go. It offers a larger 85-inch screen, excellent gaming features, and superior sound quality with a more powerful speaker setup, making it ideal for an immersive gaming and movie-watching experience in a well-lit room.

The Hisense UX (LCD) has very good picture quality, while the Sony X93L (LCD) has good picture quality.
The Hisense UX stands out with superior contrast, exceptional local dimming, and best-in-class HDR brightness, leading to a very good picture quality, especially in dark scenes, while offering a best black uniformity and color volume. On the other hand, the Sony X93L, while also having good contrast and local dimming capabilities, excels with accurate colors out of the box and a wide color gamut, but doesn't quite match the Hisense UX in terms of black uniformity and HDR peak brightness, resulting in good but slightly less impressive picture quality.

The Sony X93L offers a superior sports viewing experience with very good motion processing and lower reflection handling, making it more suitable for fast-paced games and well-lit rooms.

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.
