If you prioritize gaming and using the TV as a monitor, the Hisense A6H has better performance, with best in class input lag and good chroma subsampling support, which is valuable for clearer text when connected to a computer. However, for general viewing in bright rooms, the TCL S350R may disappoint as its performance is poor in well-lit environments. Both TVs have a budget price point, so these are tradeoffs to consider within an affordable range. If you watch a lot of movies in dark rooms, neither may be satisfactory due to their poor dark room performance. However, the Hisense A6H offers wider HDR support with HDR10+, Dolby Vision, and HLG, which could enhance your movie-watching experience if you watch a lot of diverse content requiring these formats. The TCL S350R, on the other hand, lacks these HDR features. Lastly, consider the Hisense A6H if you value voice control and a slightly better speaker setup, which the TCL S350R does not provide.

About Hisense
Hisense, a Chinese TV manufacturer, entered the US market in approximately 2011 and has since acquired TV divisions from various companies such as Toshiba, Sharp, Hitachi, and NEC. Currently ranking as the fourth largest vendor in terms of sales volume, Hisense aims to capture a wide range of TV budget segments. They offer exceptional value with TVs that often outperform their competitors at similar price points, making them a compelling choice for consumers. In the US, they use Google TV as their smart TV software which provides the largest app selection and a very modern user interface, however it is not as user friendly as the software from other vendors.
About TCL
TCL, the highly recognizable TV brand from China, has firmly established itself as the second-largest manufacturer in terms of sales volume. Renowned for striking an impressive balance between affordability, picture quality, and design, TCL TVs deliver a compelling overall package. While they have traditionally excelled in the low-end and midrange TV segments, TCL has recently made remarkable strides in the realm of high-end televisions, introducing impressive models that rival top competitors. Most TCL TVs use Roku software which is very user friendly and easy to use, but they have a few other models that use Google TV which has the largest app selection, but is not as user friendly as Roku.
