Hisense L9Q: what it gives up

  • 5,000:1 native contrast — brightness, not black level, is what this buys
  • 28.4 lb cabinet plus a fixed screen makes this a permanent installation
  • 60 Hz only, with no published input-lag figure
  • Vidaa rather than Google TV
  • It shipped with almost no independent measurement published, so the headline figures rest on Hisense's own testing

AWOL Vision LTV-3500 Pro: what it gives up

  • 2,200:1 native contrast is the lowest measured figure in this catalog
  • HDMI 2.0 and 60 Hz, a step back from the cheaper LTV-3000 Pro's 120 Hz path
  • $5,499 is flagship money from a brand with a small service footprint
  • AWOL publishes no fan-noise figure
