If you're looking for a TV within a budget and don't mind compromising on picture quality, the TCL S450G could save you money. However, keep in mind that its performance in both dark and bright rooms is poor and is not ideal for sports or gaming. On the other hand, the Hisense R6G performs slightly better overall with fair picture quality in movies, sports, and cartoons, and has good color out-of-the-box, but also falls short in bright rooms and gaming experiences. Both models have limited brightness and might not bring out the best in high dynamic range (HDR) content. Neither are great for gaming due to high input lag. For general TV watching and occasional movie nights, the Hisense could be a more versatile option, though it's more expensive. For very casual viewing, or if budget is your primary concern, the TCL might suffice. Give Feedback

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.
