Choose the Hisense A6H if a better gaming experience is important to you, as it performs better in this regard. However, it does not excel in dark room settings and has a lower overall bright room performance compared to the TCL S450G. Opt for the TCL S450G if you prefer enhanced performance for watching movies and content in brighter rooms, as well as a slightly better experience for sports viewing. It also offers better dark room performance but doesn't match the Hisense A6H's gaming capabilities. The TCL model is a newer release and supports voice commands, which the Hisense does not. Both TVs are very similarly priced and support HDR, with the primary differences lying in picture quality variations across content types and minor feature differences. Give Feedback

The TCL S450G (LCD) and Hisense A6H (LCD) are both poor for movies & TV, though the TCL S450G (LCD) is somewhat better.
The Hisense A6H struggles with movies and cinematic TV due to its poor contrast, lack of local dimming, and weak black uniformity, which affects the depth and richness of dark scenes. Conversely, the TCL S450G also suffers in this viewing scenario because it exhibits better contrast but poor color performance and gray uniformity, along with lacking local dimming, which is critical for detailed and vibrant movie scenes.

The TCL S450G (LCD) and Hisense A6H (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Hisense A6H and TCL S450G both have fair abilities to manage reflections, suggesting they might not be best for very bright rooms, and when watching sports, they exhibit only fair motion processing which affects how smoothly action is displayed on screen. Unlike the broader viewing angles of the Hisense A6H that support a wider seating arrangement, the TCL S450G's viewing angles are narrower, making it less suitable for large group viewings where people are spread out across the room.

The Hisense A6H (LCD) and TCL S450G (LCD) are both poor for gaming.
Both the Hisense A6H and the TCL S450G have response times that are judged to be poor for gaming, which means fast-moving content may appear blurry on both TVs. Despite both having low input lag, which is good for gaming responsiveness, their poor response times and standard refresh rates limit their performance for fast-paced gaming experiences.

The TCL S450G (LCD) and Hisense A6H (LCD) are both poor for cartoons & animation.
The Hisense A6H displays colors out of the box poorly, which can make cartoons and animation look less vibrant and accurate, and its limited color gamut fails to cover the wide range of colors typically used in this content. The TCL S450G also struggles with color reproduction right out of the box and suffers from a poor color gamut, leading to similar issues when displaying the vivid and diverse colors often found in animated material.

The Hisense A6H (LCD) and TCL S450G (LCD) are both poor for news, talk, & other TV.
The Hisense A6H struggles with upscaling lower resolution content and does not perform well with colors out of the box, making it less suitable for watching news and TV programs which may not always be high-resolution; it also lacks any local dimming to improve contrast. On the other hand, the TCL S450G also has difficulties with upscaling and only fair performance in color accuracy out of the box, which can make content look less vibrant and clear when viewing everyday TV programs.

The TCL S450G (LCD) and Hisense A6H (LCD) are both poor for bright room.
The Hisense A6H and TCL S450G both have poor SDR and HDR brightness levels, meaning they lack the luminosity required to overcome glare in bright rooms, and their ability to handle reflections is only rated as fair, contributing to their poor performance under such conditions. Although the TCL S450G offers better contrast which can help improve picture quality in brighter settings, both TVs still have limited color volume and gamut, indicating that colors may not be as vibrant or accurate in well-lit environments.

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.
