The Hisense U6H tends to be somewhat less expensive compared to the TCL S546 and generally offers slightly better overall picture quality. It might be the better choice if you prioritize high-quality pictures in movies, series, and animations, along with reasonable performance in both dark and bright rooms. On the other hand, the TCL S546 offers slightly better gaming performance, which could give it the edge if you're an avid gamer. It has a somewhat higher asking price but provides improved performance for sports content, which might make it the preferred option for sports enthusiasts. If you often watch TV in bright rooms, both TVs offer similar performance, but for dark-room viewing, the Hisense U6H has a slight advantage. Neither TV is ideal if wide viewing angles are a necessity. Sound quality is also comparable, so neither would necessarily require an external sound system. Keep in mind that the Hisense U6H has one more HDMI port, which could be handy if you have multiple devices to connect. Give Feedback

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. (...)"

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.
