Our Verdict

Sony X85K

Hisense U7K [U7, U75K]

The Hisense U7K is better than the Sony X85K. The Hisense has a good local dimming solution, while the Sony doesn't, giving the Hisense much better contrast overall. Plus, the Hisense is brighter than the Sony in HDR, so content on the Hisense pops noticeably more than on the Sony, especially in dark rooms, but it's also better in bright rooms due to its better reflection handling. The Hisense also has better image processing and is better for gamers with its 4k @ 144Hz support on two ports, while the Sony is limited to 4k @ 120Hz, also on two ports.
