If you prefer a more affordable option, the Hisense A6H would serve your basic TV viewing needs effectively but won't deliver the same level of picture and motion quality as the TCL R655. For those who enjoy watching movies and sports, or gaming, paying extra for the TCL R655 would provide a more immersive experience thanks to its better performance in these areas, particularly in terms of movement display and contrast. However, both models might not be ideal in bright rooms due to limitations in peak brightness. Give Feedback

The TCL R655 (LCD) is good for movies & TV, while the Hisense A6H (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense A6H has poor contrast, no local dimming, and fair black uniformity, making it less ideal for movies and cinematic TV where deep blacks and contrast are crucial. The TCL R655, on the other hand, offers good contrast, effective local dimming, and very good black uniformity, which enhances the viewing experience of movies and cinematic content by providing richer, more nuanced visuals.

The TCL R655 (LCD) is very good for gaming, while the Hisense A6H (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense A6H is not as suitable for gaming due to its lower response time and higher input lag, which can cause delays and blur during fast-moving games, whereas the TCL R655, with its higher response time and lower input lag, provides a smoother and more responsive gaming experience.

The TCL R655 (LCD) is very good for cartoons & animation, while the Hisense A6H (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense A6H struggles with cartoons and animation due to its poorer color gamut and colors out of the box, leading to less vibrant and accurate colors. In contrast, the TCL R655 performs quite well in these areas, offering a better color gamut and good colors straight out of the packaging, which enhances the viewing experience for colorful content like animation.

The TCL R655 (LCD) is good for news, talk, & other TV, while the Hisense A6H (LCD) is poor.
The TCL R655 outperforms the Hisense A6H in delivering a better viewing experience for news, talk shows, and other TV programs due to its excellent SDR brightness, providing good visibility in various lighting conditions, and its good colors out of the box, reducing the need for calibration. In contrast, the Hisense A6H shows poor SDR brightness, which may result in a duller picture, and while its upscaling is better, meaning lower resolution content will look cleaner, it does not compensate enough for its weaker performance in other important areas like color representation and brightness.

The TCL R655 (LCD) is best in class for bright room, while the Hisense A6H (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense A6H is considered poor for watching TV in a bright room largely due to its low SDR and HDR brightness, which can affect picture visibility, and only fair reflection handling, meaning it struggles more with ambient light. The TCL R655, on the other hand, is rated best for bright rooms as it offers excellent SDR brightness, very good HDR brightness and very good reflection handling, ensuring a clearer picture despite bright conditions.

The TCL R655 (LCD) and Hisense A6H (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Hisense A6H is fair for watching sports largely because it handles reflections well and has good viewing angles, but it's hindered by its subpar response time and lack of motion processing capabilities. On the other hand, the TCL R655 also offers fair performance for sports with better response time and some motion processing, but it falls short with narrower viewing angles and only somewhat better management of reflections.

Parker Hall | January 2023
"It has an excellent Roku interface, isn’t too expensive, has quantum dots and mini LED backlighting, and looks genuinely fantastic playing everything. If you’re in the market for a new TV, you should still start here. Gamers will like that it has a 120-Hz refresh rate at 4K, which is the maximum that a modern Xbox or Playstation 5 will put out—meaning the smoothest possible gaming and sports viewing in general. We’re no longer in the days of having to spend over $1,000 and spending a few hours on setup for decent black levels and great color accuracy and HDR"

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.
