If you're looking for a more affordable option, the Hisense A65K may be the right choice. It offers good value for movies, series, and animation but doesn't perform as well in bright rooms or for sports. On the other hand, the TCL Q6 is pricier but has better performance in bright rooms and for watching sports, along with slightly better overall picture quality. Both TVs are similar for gaming and support key HDR formats. Consider how each of these factors aligns with what you value most in a TV viewing experience. Give Feedback

The Hisense A65K (LCD) and TCL Q6 (LCD) are both only fair for news, talk, & other TV, though the Hisense A65K (LCD) is somewhat better.
The Hisense A65K performs proficiently in upscaling lower resolution content and displays colors well out of the box, making it suitable for regular TV programs, but its average SDR brightness might not be the best in well-lit environments. The TCL Q6, while also fair at upscaling and offering a good color gamut for vivid colors, has better SDR brightness which is advantageous for viewing in brighter rooms, yet its color performance right out of the box may be less accurate than the Hisense A65K.

The TCL Q6 (LCD) and Hisense A65K (LCD) are both poor for movies & TV.
The Hisense A65K and TCL Q6 both have limitations in watching movies and cinematic TV mainly due to their poor contrast, mediocre local dimming, and subpar black uniformity, which are vital for deep blacks and high picture quality in dark scenes. Furthermore, both TVs struggle with color accuracy out of the box and limited viewing angles, making them less than optimal for color-sensitive content or wide seating arrangements.

The TCL Q6 (LCD) and Hisense A65K (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Hisense A65K (LCD) and TCL Q6 (LCD) offer fair performance for sports, primarily due to their motion processing capabilities and response times that are decent for fast-moving scenes. However, both have challenges: the Hisense has fair reflection handling which could be a problem in bright rooms, and both have fair gray uniformity, which might affect the viewing experience during sports with large uniform colors like a football field or ice rink.

The Hisense A65K (LCD) and TCL Q6 (LCD) are both poor for gaming.
The Hisense A65K has fair response time but very good input lag, making it responsive for gaming inputs but slower in displaying fast-moving visuals. On the other hand, the TCL Q6, although with fair response time, is ranked the best in terms of input lag, suggesting excellent gaming responsiveness; however, both TVs may display motion blur due to their LCD 60Hz screens.

Stratos Kampourogiannis | September 2023
"The A65K proved to be a rather capable TV that works great within its extreme limitations that its price dictates. It has great contrast, very low input lag and good color coverage. Add Google TV and a low price in the mix and you have an excellent low budget offering."

"If you’re looking for a good overall viewing experience without spending a lot, the TCL Q6 fits the bill. With its good color reproduction, the image on the screen will do just fine, especially for HDR content."

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.
