The Hisense A6H is a budget-friendly option with decent performance for gaming and casual content viewing, making it suitable for buyers who are cost-conscious but still want a newer TV with up-to-date features. However, it doesn't perform well in dark rooms and is not the brightest for sunny areas. On the other hand, the TCL R646 costs a bit more but delivers significantly better picture quality across various types of content, including movies, sports, and gaming. It performs well in both dark and bright rooms. If you prioritize a more immersive viewing experience and can stretch your budget, the TCL R646 would be the better choice. Give Feedback

The TCL R646 (LCD) is very good for gaming, while the Hisense A6H (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense A6H's response time is considered poor, meaning there can be more motion blur during gaming, and its input lag is the best, which is advantageous for gaming responsiveness. In contrast, the TCL R646 has very good response time, reducing motion blur, and good input lag, ensuring games react relatively quickly to inputs; it also supports a higher refresh rate, which can make motion in games appear smoother.

The TCL R646 (LCD) is good for news, talk, & other TV, while the Hisense A6H (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense A6H is less suitable for news and TV programs because it has a poor SDR brightness and fair upscaling, which can make the picture look dim and less clear, especially from lower-resolution sources. On the other hand, the TCL R646 is good for these purposes due to its excellent SDR brightness and very good upscaling that facilitate a brighter and sharper viewing experience even when watching non-HD content.

The TCL R646 (LCD) is very good for bright room, while the Hisense A6H (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense A6H struggles in bright rooms due to its fair reflection handling and poor SDR and HDR brightness, making it difficult to maintain picture quality in well-lit environments. On the other hand, the TCL R646 excels with very good reflection handling and superior SDR and HDR brightness levels, providing a clear and vibrant viewing experience even in bright conditions.

The TCL R646 (LCD) and Hisense A6H (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Hisense A6H struggles with motion processing, which is essential for smooth playback during fast sports scenes, and it also has poor response time that can lead to motion blur. On the other hand, the TCL R646 has better motion handling and response time, reducing blur, but its narrow viewing angles mean the picture quality drops off when viewed from the side, which is not ideal for group viewings of sports events.

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.
