Consider the Sony X93L if you prioritize a superior movie and series experience, as it excels in dark room settings and offers the best-in-class picture quality, albeit at a premium price. Its local dimming and motion processing are top-notch, making it ideal for cinematic viewing. However, it falls short in bright room conditions and has limited viewing angles, which might not be ideal for large, well-lit spaces or if you have a wide seating arrangement. On the other hand, the Hisense UX is a better fit for bright rooms and offers an exceptional streaming experience with its excellent bright room performance and broader viewing angles, ensuring a quality image even when viewed from the side. It also supports a wider range of HDR formats, enhancing your viewing options. But it comes with a high-end price tag and isn't as impressive for sports content or as a monitor substitute compared to the Sony. Additionally, its sound quality is superior, making it a strong choice if you're looking for an immersive audio experience without the need for external speakers. Give Feedback

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.
