Our Verdict
Hisense H9F
Sony X950G
The Sony X950G is slightly better than the Hisense H9F. The Sony can handle the reflections of a brighter room better and has a better out of the box color accuracy that's important if you don't plan to calibrate your TV. The Hisense H9F, on the other hand, has a lower input lag, which will please gamers and those who plan to use the TV as a PC monitor.
