If you're on a tight budget and mainly watch TV in darker environments where overall picture quality is less of a concern, the TCL S350G might suit you, but its performance in brighter rooms and with diverse content like movies and sports is lacking, as is its gaming capability. In contrast, the Hisense U6K costs more but offers a better viewing experience for movies, series, and cartoons, and is a superior choice for a well-lit environment. Keep in mind, however, that while the Hisense has better sound, color quality, and supports high dynamic range formats which enhance picture quality, both TVs have their limitations in certain areas, such as viewing angles and color uniformity.

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.
