If you're looking for better overall picture quality, particularly for movies, the Hisense U6H could be a better option, as it performs well in both dark and bright rooms. It's also a viable choice for gamers due to its higher response time and input lag performance, though sound quality is average. On the other hand, the TCL S446, while more affordable, has a lower picture quality across various content types including sports, and its performance in bright rooms isn't as strong as the Hisense. Gaming performance is decent, but it lacks advanced gaming features. Its sound quality is also modest. Both TVs support comparable formats for HDR content, but the Hisense has additional support for Dolby Vision and HGiG, which could enhance your viewing experience. Both are similarly priced, so your decision may come down to whether the better picture and gaming performance of the Hisense U6H are worth it over the TCL S446. Give Feedback

The Hisense U6H (LCD) is good for movies & TV, while the TCL S446 (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense U6H excels in movie watching experiences with a high contrast ratio, effective local dimming, and good black uniformity, making dark scenes in movies look deeper and more true to life.

The Hisense U6H (LCD) is very good for cartoons & animation, while the TCL S446 (LCD) is only fair.
The Hisense U6H is regarded as very good for watching cartoons and animation primarily because of its excellent colors out of the box and good color gamut that render vibrant and varied animated tones more accurately. In contrast, the TCL S446 is considered fair in this area due to its excellent colors out of the box that are not supported by as wide a color gamut, which makes it less capable of reproducing the wide range of colors typically found in animated content.

The Hisense U6H (LCD) is very good for news, talk, & other TV, while the TCL S446 (LCD) is only fair.
The Hisense U6H excels in upscaling lower-resolution content and delivers brighter images in standard dynamic range (SDR), which makes it a better choice for viewing news and everyday TV programs. The TCL S446, while offering fair upscaling, falls short in SDR brightness and has a poorer color gamut, resulting in less vibrant colors when watching typical broadcast content.

The Hisense U6H (LCD) is good for bright room, while the TCL S446 (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense U6H is considered good for viewing in a bright room because it has better SDR and HDR brightness than the TCL S446, which is labeled as poor for bright room viewing due to its lower brightness levels that make it less capable of overcoming glare. Additionally, the Hisense has a higher reflections handling score, which means it's more effective at minimizing the impact of light reflections on the screen, a crucial aspect when watching TV in well-lit environments.

The TCL S446 (LCD) and Hisense U6H (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Hisense U6H has fair reflection handling but poor response time which can affect fast-moving scenes while watching sports. On the other hand, the TCL S446 offers better viewing angles and good reflections handling for group sports viewing, yet its motion processing is only rated fair, potentially impacting the clarity of action-packed moments.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Hisense U6H (LCD) to be only fair for gaming, while the TCL S446 (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense U6H is better for gaming than the TCL S446 because it has a faster response time, which means less blur in fast-moving scenes, and a similar level of input lag, ensuring that the time between pressing a button and seeing an on-screen reaction is minimal for both TVs. However, the TCL S446 also has low input lag, which is good for gaming, but the slower response time might result in more motion blur during fast-paced games.

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.
