Video Description

The battle of the nines is here – the Sony Bravia 9 versus the Hisense U9N – and the results are closer than you might expect. Caleb Denison puts these two mini-LED heavyweights to the test, comparing everything from unboxing and build quality to picture performance and sound. While the Sony Bravia 9 delivers a more refined experience with better motion handling and superior sound, the Hisense U9N stuns with its aggressive pricing and surprisingly accurate color right out of the box. Is the Bravia 9 worth the extra $500–$1000? Watch to find out just how close Hisense gets to Sony’s flagship TV.
