Choose the Hisense UX if you prioritize a vibrant picture and sound quality for movies and general TV watching, as it has better color accuracy and peak brightness. However, if you frequently watch TV in well-lit rooms, enjoy sports, or use the TV for gaming, the Sony X95L may be preferable, thanks to its superior reflection handling and motion performance. The Sony model also offers a better out-of-the-box experience for viewing high dynamic range (HDR) content. Keep in mind, both are strong choices for smart features and usability, but the Hisense might offer slightly more value in terms of larger screen sizes without a significant price increase.

The Sony X95L (LCD) is very good for sports, while the Hisense UX (LCD) is only fair.
The Sony X95L delivers very good sports viewing experiences due to its exceptional motion processing and response time, ensuring minimal blur in fast-moving scenes, whereas the Hisense UX has significantly lower performance in motion processing which can lead to more blur during dynamic sports action. Both TVs are reasonably good at handling reflections and offer similar viewing angles, but the Sony X95L's advantage in motion handling and faster response time make it more suited for watching sports.

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.

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.
