If you prefer better overall picture quality, especially in bright rooms, and can afford to spend more, the TCL Q6 would be a better option. However, if you're looking for a more budget-friendly option and you mostly watch news, talk shows, or cartoons, the Hisense A6H would suffice. Remember, the Hisense A6H won't perform as well in a bright room or for watching movies in dark environments. Additionally, the TCL Q6 is newer and offers improvements in dark room viewing and sports content, but it comes with fewer HDMI ports. Give Feedback

The TCL Q6 (LCD) and Hisense A6H (LCD) are both poor for movies & TV, though the TCL Q6 (LCD) is somewhat better.
The Hisense A6H struggles with movies and cinematic content due to its mediocre contrast, lack of local dimming and poor black uniformity, resulting in subpar dark scene performance. Similarly, the TCL Q6's inability to display deep blacks, together with insufficient contrast and ineffective local dimming, compromises the viewing experience for movies and cinematic TV.

The TCL Q6 (LCD) is only fair for cartoons & animation, while the Hisense A6H (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense A6H is rated as poor for watching cartoons and animation due to its subpar performance in color gamut, affecting how vibrant and varied the colors appear, and it's exceptionally low rating for colors out of the box, meaning colors may not look accurate without adjustment.

The TCL Q6 (LCD) is good for bright room, while the Hisense A6H (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense A6H struggles in bright rooms due to its poor SDR and HDR brightness and only fair handling of reflections, thus it might not overcome ambient light effectively. In contrast, the TCL Q6 is good for bright rooms, with very good SDR brightness and despite its poor reflection handling, its overall brightness helps to mitigate the impact of reflections.

The TCL Q6 (LCD) and Hisense A6H (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Hisense A6H manages reflections better, making it more suited for brighter rooms, and provides wider viewing angles, which benefits group watching, yet struggles with response time, affecting fast motion clarity in sports. Conversely, the TCL Q6, while offering faster response time for smoother sports action, falls short in reflections and viewing angles, making it less ideal for wide seating arrangements and well-lit environments.

The TCL Q6 (LCD) and Hisense A6H (LCD) are both poor for gaming.
The Hisense A6H has a poor response time, which can cause motion blur during fast-paced gaming, while the TCL Q6, despite having better response time, also struggles with gaming due to poor input lag, affecting the responsiveness of gameplay. Both TVs have these issues despite the fact that they boast low input lag, which is critical for a smooth gaming experience, but it's the response time in the Hisense and input lag in the TCL that are not optimal for gaming.

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.
