The Hisense U6H is a budget-friendly option that performs well for movies and bright rooms, but its sports content viewing and gaming performance are moderate. The TCL R655, priced higher, offers better overall performance, especially in gaming, sporting events, and bright room usage. If cost is a concern and you primarily watch movies, the Hisense U6H could be a good fit. However, if you are willing to spend more for enhanced gaming experiences and brighter room performance, the TCL R655 would be the better choice. Both have limitations in terms of viewing angles, so they're best viewed straight on. Give Feedback

The TCL R655 (LCD) and Hisense U6H (LCD) are both only fair for sports, though the TCL R655 (LCD) is somewhat better.
The Hisense U6H has fair motion processing and a higher reflections score, making it more suitable for sports in environments with some ambient light, but its response time is rated lower, which might not handle fast movements as smoothly as desired. Meanwhile, the TCL R655 has a better response time for fast-paced sports action, yet due to its lower reflections handling, it could be less ideal in bright rooms.

The Hisense U6H (LCD) is very good for news, talk, & other TV, while the TCL R655 (LCD) is good.
The Hisense U6H excels in upscaling lower-resolution content and displays vibrant colors straight out of the box, making it very good for watching standard definition news, talk shows, and TV programs. On the other hand, the TCL R655 shines with its excellent SDR brightness, which is beneficial in well-lit environments, but its upscaling capabilities aren't as strong as the U6H's, making it just good for watching the same types of content.

The TCL R655 (LCD) and Hisense U6H (LCD) are both very good for cartoons & animation.
The Hisense U6H is well-suited for watching cartoons and animation due to its excellent colors out of the box, which means it can show animations in vibrant hues right away, enhancing the viewing experience. The TCL R655 is also good for such content, with comparable color gamut and very good color volume, ensuring it can display a wide range of colors effectively, but the noteworthy contrast and SDR brightness make it a better choice if you prioritize brighter and more varied content portrayal.

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. (...)"

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.
