Our Verdict
Sony X95J
Hisense U9DG
The Sony X95J and the Hisense U9DG have different strengths and weaknesses, so the best one depends on your usage. The X95J has much better motion handling, so it's a better choice for gaming or watching sports. The Hisense has better contrast and a slightly better local dimming feature, so it's a bit better in some ways for watching movies. On the other hand, the Sony has better processing, and it's a lot brighter in HDR, so it's a better choice if you care about an accurate image when watching movies.
