The Hisense A4H is a budget LCD TV that offers basic performance suitable for casual viewing. It's not ideal for dark room viewing due to its poor contrast and black uniformity. In brighter rooms, the performance is also limited, reflecting its price point. For gamers and sports fans, the experience could be less immersive as it has poor gaming capabilities and only fair performance for sports. Color accuracy out of the box, however, is very good which might be appreciated for general content watching. Its motion performance and upscaling of non-HD content are adequate, but the TV doesn't excel in high dynamic range (HDR) content, lacking support for advanced HDR formats like HDR10+ or Dolby Vision. With only two HDMI ports and no particularly great built-in speakers, it's a simple choice for those who have modest needs and are watching in non-challenging lighting conditions. Give Feedback

Ratings by Category
Sports:3.1
The Hisense A4H has a poor response time, leading to motion blur which can be distracting when watching fast-paced sports events. Its fair reflections score and wide viewing angles are beneficial for a bright room and when watching with a group, but the motion handling might not be ideal for an action-packed sports experience.
News, Talk & Reality TV:3.0
The Hisense A4H has poor SDR brightness, which can lead to a dimmer picture that's harder to see, especially in well-lit rooms, making it less suitable for daytime viewing of news and talk shows. Additionally, while upscaling is considered very good for HD content, the lack of vibrant colors and limited color gamut may result in less vivid depictions of standard TV programming.
Cartoons & Animaton:3.0
The Hisense A4H struggles with cartoons and animation primarily because it has a poor color gamut, which means it doesn’t display a wide range of colors, resulting in less vibrant and less accurate colors. Additionally, its colors out of the box are rated poor, meaning you'll likely see inaccuracies in colors without professional calibration, which is essential for the vivid and consistent colors usually associated with animated content.
