If price is a major consideration for you, you might lean towards the Hisense A4H as it generally costs less than the Amazon 4-Series. For watching in well-lit rooms, the Amazon 4-Series performs slightly better, while the Hisense A4H has a better gray uniformity which could benefit viewing with static images like news channels. Both TVs have their limitations for sports and gaming due to their fair and poor performance in motion processing and response time, respectively. Neither TV excels in dark room performance, and both have a limited number of HDMI ports, but the Amazon has twice as many, which could be important if connecting multiple devices is necessary for you. The Amazon 4-Series supports HDR content including HLG format, which can enhance the viewing experience for compatible content. If using the TV as a monitor is a requirement, neither are great, but the Hisense A4H supports 1080p @ 60Hz @ 4:4:4, which can provide clearer text rendering. Finally, if sound quality is important, the Amazon 4-Series has slightly more powerful speakers. Overall, your decision should weigh how much you value cost savings versus these performance differences. Give Feedback

"The attraction here is that the 4-Series uses Amazon’s Fire TV interface. Picture quality is good but unexceptional. At the discounted prices, which can seemingly be had regularly, they are better value."
