If you want better sound quality and voice control features for a more convenient user experience, the TCL S470G would be a good pick, but be aware that its performance in a bright room may not match that of the Hisense A6H. Conversely, the Hisense A6H is a solid performer in well-lit settings and might have slightly better picture quality overall, but it lacks the newer voice control capabilities. Both are budget-friendly options with 4K resolution and support for a 60Hz refresh rate, making them suitable for general viewing, but they may not offer the best experience for fast-paced gaming or sports.

The TCL S470G (LCD) and Hisense A6H (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Hisense A6H and TCL S470G both have poor response times which can impact the clarity of fast-moving images in sports. Moreover, their reflections handling are only fair, which may affect visibility in bright rooms, but both have decent viewing angles and fair gray uniformity which is less crucial for sports viewing.

The Hisense A6H (LCD) and TCL S470G (LCD) are both poor for gaming.
The Hisense A6H has a poor response time, which can cause motion blur during fast-paced games, and although it has the best input lag, which is good for responsiveness, its overall gaming performance is still not ideal. On the other hand, the TCL S470G, while also having the best input lag, suffers from a poor response time as well, leading to a similar issue with motion blur, making both TVs less suitable for gaming.

The Hisense A6H (LCD) and TCL S470G (LCD) are both poor for news, talk, & other TV.
The Hisense A6H and TCL S470G both have poor SDR brightness, which may result in a lackluster display for news and talk shows in bright rooms or during daytime. The Hisense A6H performs slightly better for upscaling low-resolution content which can be important for standard TV programs, but the TCL S470G has a somewhat better color performance out of the box, which makes it more vibrant without additional tweaking.

The Hisense A6H (LCD) and TCL S470G (LCD) are both poor for bright room.
The Hisense A6H struggles with visibility in well-lit environments due to its poor SDR and HDR brightness and ineffective handling of reflections, making it a less ideal choice for bright rooms. Similarly, the TCL S470G, while slightly better than the Hisense A6H in handling reflections, also has poor SDR and HDR brightness, which compromises its performance in sunny settings.

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.
