If you're looking for an affordable TV, the Hisense R6G could be a good option; however, expect modest performance overall. It's well-suited for less demanding content like daily TV watching and news but falls short for avid gamers or when displaying high-action sports. It may not be the best choice for dark or very bright environments due to its limited brightness and contrast capabilities. The screen handles reflections decently and has decent color out of the box, so it might work well in average-lit rooms. It comes with 3 HDMI ports but lacks features like high-quality speakers or advanced gaming features, yet it does support voice commands for easier control. Give Feedback

Ratings by Category
Overall Picture:3.7
The Hisense R6G has a high contrast which empowers it to display deep blacks, making it suitable for dark room viewing, yet its lack of local dimming means these blacks could be more uniform across the screen. Although the colors are well-represented straight out of the box, the lower color gamut and color volume limit the richness and range of colors, particularly noticeable in HDR content..
Cartoons & Animaton:3.4
The Hisense R6G has good colors out of the box, which means cartoons will look vibrant without the need for much adjustment. However, with a poor color gamut and only fair color volume, some shades may not be displayed as accurately or vividly as on TVs with better color performance.
Movies & TV shows:3.2
The Hisense R6G has high contrast and black uniformity, ensuring deep blacks in dark scenes, but its lack of local dimming means it can't enhance the contrast in specific parts of the screen. Its colors straight out of the box are decent; however, limited viewing angles and gray uniformity can result in color and shade inconsistencies when viewed from an angle or across the screen.
News, Talk & Reality TV:3.2
The Hisense R6G is fair for watching news and TV programs because it has decent upscaling abilities, which means it can make lower resolution content look good on its screen. However, its performance is limited by a poor score for SDR brightness, which means it isn't as suitable for well-lit environments and colors might not pop as much directly out of the box.
Sports:3.0
The Hisense R6G offers fair response time and motion processing, which are crucial for smooth action during sports, but its limited viewing angles and only fair ability to handle reflections might reduce the clarity and consistency of the image when viewed from the side or in bright rooms. Its gray uniformity is also rated somewhat important for sports, and with only fair performance, it may not display the playing field as evenly as desired.
Bright Room:3.0
The Hisense R6G performs poorly in bright rooms because it has low SDR and HDR brightness, which makes the picture appear dim against ambient light. Additionally, it only has fair performance in handling reflections, which means it does not reduce glare from lights and windows very effectively.
