If you're looking for a more budget-friendly option, the Hisense A6H could be a great choice because it comes at a lower price. However, it's not as well-suited for dark rooms and its overall picture quality is less impressive. On the other hand, if you're willing to spend more for a superior viewing experience, the TCL R648 offers significantly better performance in various conditions, including dark and bright rooms. It also has better picture quality, making it a strong option for watching movies and gaming. Additionally, it's equipped with better sound and supports a higher range of HDR formats, which can enhance your viewing experience. Keep in mind though, it's typically more expensive. Give Feedback

The TCL R648 (LCD) is good for movies & TV, while the Hisense A6H (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense A6H faces challenges in movie and cinematic TV viewing due to its very low contrast ratio and absence of local dimming which leads to poor black uniformity, adversely impacting dark scene portrayal, even though it offers decent colors out of the box and good viewing angles. Conversely, the TCL R648 provides a much better experience for such content with its high contrast ratio, effective local dimming, and superior black uniformity, leading to deep blacks and more defined details in dark areas, though its colors out of the box are strong and it has more limited viewing angles.

The TCL R648 (LCD) and Hisense A6H (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Hisense A6H has a fair handling of reflections and poor response time, which could result in noticeable blur during fast-paced sports. The TCL R648, on the other hand, handles reflections very well and has very good response time, providing clearer motion but it has narrow viewing angles that may affect the viewing experience from the side.

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.
