Our Verdict

Sony BRAVIA 2 II

Hisense U65QF

The Hisense U65QF is much better than the Sony BRAVIA 2 II. It offers a ton of gaming features, like HDMI 2.1 bandwidth, 4k @ 144Hz, and VRR, so it's the better option to pair with your console. The Hisense also has superior image quality since it has significantly better black levels, colors, and brightness. The Hisense outshines the Sony in almost every way.
