The Hisense U6H is a budget-friendly LCD TV that offers good overall picture quality, sports and movie viewing experiences, and performs well in both dark and bright rooms. However, its gaming performance is only fair, and there may be some concerns with quality control and quality assurance. If you plan to use the TV mainly for gaming, you might notice slower response times. The TV supports various HDR formats, including Dolby Vision, HDR10+, and HLG. It has a decent number of HDMI ports, offering flexibility for connecting devices. Its speakers are not a standout feature, so for superior sound, consider adding an external sound system.

Ratings by Category

News, Talk & Reality TV:
4.5
The Hisense U6H excels in upscaling lower resolution content, ensuring that standard definition broadcasts such as news and talk shows look clear and detailed on its screen. Additionally, its ability to display colors accurately right out of the box, without the need for calibration, enhances the viewing experience of such programs.
Cartoons & Animaton:
4.5
The Hisense U6H displays cartoons and animations well primarily because it has excellent colors right out of the box, meaning that it accurately shows a wide range of tones and hues without the need for calibration. Additionally, the TV offers a good color gamut, ensuring that the images on screen are vivid and cover a broad spectrum of colors, which is essential for the vibrant palettes often used in animation.
Movies & TV shows:
4.3
The Hisense U6H offers excellent contrast and effective local dimming, which enhance the depth and detail of dark scenes, making it well-suited for movies and cinematic content. However, its color performance right out of the box and the viewing angles may be less impressive, potentially reducing the vibrancy and consistency of the image when viewed from the side.
Overall Picture:
4.3
The Hisense U6H has excellent colors out of the box which provides vibrant and accurate visuals without the need to calibrate, and it supports a good color gamut and volume that enhances picture quality by displaying a wide range of colors. Additionally, its high contrast ratio ensures deep blacks and bright highlights, beneficial for watching in dark environments and for enjoying HDR content.
Bright Room:
4.0
The Hisense U6H is well-suited for bright rooms because it has good SDR brightness, which means it can produce clear images even in well-lit environments, and its reflections handling is fair, indicating it can reduce the impact of light reflections on the screen.
Gaming:
3.3
PerfectRec’s gaming score measures a TV's performance when it comes to playing video games. It is based on several factors that can significantly impact the quality of the gaming experience, including screen response time, input lag, and refresh rate. Screen response time is a critical factor that determines how quickly the TV can transition from one color to the next, while input lag measures the delay between the gaming console output and the TV display. Refresh rate refers to the number of times per second that the TV displays a new frame, which can impact the smoothness of the gaming experience. The gaming score also takes into account two other features: local dimming in gaming mode, which can enhance contrast and picture quality, and black frame insertion, which can reduce screen brightness and create a smoother gaming experience.
Sports:
3.0
The Hisense U6H may not be ideal for watching sports given its fair performance in handling reflections, which can be distracting during daylight viewing, and a poor response time that could lead to motion blur during fast-paced games. Viewing angles are also limited, meaning the picture quality will degrade when seen from the side, which is not optimal for group viewing during sporting events.

Tom's guide

Matthew Murray | March 2023
"A budget TV that exceeds expectations. (...) For a TV that costs as little as this one does, its brightness and color are above-average (...) The U6H may not get quite as bright as its splashier siblings, but for its class, it fares pretty well. (...) As far as input lag, the U6H is an impressive performer. (...) Costing less than most of its direct competitors, and matching or bettering them in several key areas, it’s an irresistible value proposition. (...)"
