The Hisense U6H is a budget-friendly option and may cost significantly less than the TCL R648. It performs well in both bright and dark rooms, offers pleasing colors out of the box, and has low input lag, making it suitable for casual gaming and watching movies. On the other hand, the TCL R648 is priced at a premium and is better suited for gaming due to its higher gaming performance score. It also has better bright room performance, which makes it a good choice if you plan to watch TV in a well-lit environment. However, it is quite a bit more expensive than the Hisense U6H. If budget is a major concern for you, and you want a good all-around TV, the Hisense U6H would be a sound choice. But if you're willing to invest more for enhanced gaming experiences and better performance in bright rooms, consider the TCL R648. Give Feedback

The TCL R648 (LCD) and Hisense U6H (LCD) are both only fair for sports, though the TCL R648 (LCD) is somewhat better.
The Hisense U6H has a fair ability to handle reflections and a poor response time, which can cause motion blur during fast sports scenes, while its viewing angles allow for decent off-center viewing. In contrast, the TCL R648 features very good management of reflections and a much better response time, reducing blur and making it more suitable for sports, but it has narrower viewing angles which can limit visibility from the sides.

The TCL R648 (LCD) is very good for bright room, while the Hisense U6H (LCD) is good.
The TCL R648 is better for watching TV in a bright room than the Hisense U6H because it has higher SDR and HDR brightness levels and handles reflections more effectively. While both have comparable color volume and color gamut, which are important for picture quality, the TCL's superior reflection handling and brightness make it more suited for bright environments.

The Hisense U6H (LCD) and TCL R648 (LCD) are both good for movies & TV.
The Hisense U6H delivers good movie and cinematic TV experiences primarily due to its excellent colors right out of the box, good contrast, and solid black uniformity, which enhance on-screen image depth. In contrast, the TCL R648, with its very good local dimming and higher contrast, offers a similarly immersive viewing experience but with somewhat better black uniformity, helping to maintain quality picture in dark scenes. Both TVs exhibit good color volume and gray uniformity, contributing to vibrant and consistent images across the screen, yet their limited viewing angles might be less ideal for wide seating arrangements.

The TCL R648 (LCD) and Hisense U6H (LCD) are both very good for cartoons & animation.
The Hisense U6H excels with colors right out of the box, ensuring that cartoons and animations are vibrant without the need for adjustments, and both TVs possess a good color gamut and color volume which contribute to a rich and wide range of colors essential for animated content. The TCL R648 also offers excellent color accuracy for cartoons and animation, but with a slight edge in handling varied brightness levels due to its higher SDR brightness, which can be beneficial for viewing in rooms with some ambient light.

Tom's guide
Matthew Murray | March 2023
"A budget TV that exceeds expectations. (...) For a TV that costs as little as this one does, its brightness and color are above-average (...) The U6H may not get quite as bright as its splashier siblings, but for its class, it fares pretty well. (...) As far as input lag, the U6H is an impressive performer. (...) Costing less than most of its direct competitors, and matching or bettering them in several key areas, it’s an irresistible value proposition. (...)"

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.
