If you're on a tight budget and looking for a larger screen without investing much, the Hisense R6G could be the right choice for you, keeping in mind that it doesn’t perform well in bright rooms and its gaming performance is not optimal. However, if you can stretch your budget a bit and are particularly interested in watching cartoons and animations where color quality is important, then the TCL S435 is preferable, although it still has limitations in bright room performance and is not tailored for sports content or gaming. Neither of these options excel in picture quality or offer great speakers, so if you're planning to watch a variety of content and want higher quality all around, you might need to consider increasing your budget.

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.
