The Hisense U6H is generally a better performer, especially for movies, series, and gaming, with superior brightness and better handling of dark scenes. However, the TCL S450G may offer a slightly better cost-saving if you're on a tighter budget. Both TVs will have trouble in bright rooms, but the Hisense has a slight edge. If you frequently watch content with wide color ranges, like animated films, the Hisense would be the preferable option with its higher color accuracy and rich contrast. If sound quality is crucial for you, both sets are on par, and neither is exceptional—considering an external sound system may be beneficial. Consider the Hisense U6H for an overall better viewing experience if the slightly higher cost is acceptable. Give Feedback

The Hisense U6H (LCD) is only fair for gaming, while the TCL S450G (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense U6H tends to offer a fair gaming experience due to its very good input lag performance, tolerable response time, and standard refresh rate, providing a responsive gaming experience. On the other hand, the TCL S450G has the best input lag performance, which would make it seem ideal for gaming; however, its poor response time significantly lowers its overall gaming performance, making fast-paced content potentially appear blurred.

The Hisense U6H (LCD) is very good for cartoons & animation, while the TCL S450G (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense U6H is very good at displaying cartoons & animation because it has excellent colors out of the box and a wide color gamut, which are critical for animation. Contrastingly, the TCL S450G performs poorly with animation due to its substandard color gamut and limited color volume, making colors less vibrant and details less pronounced.

The Hisense U6H (LCD) is very good for news, talk, & other TV, while the TCL S450G (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense U6H is very good for watching news and TV programs due to its excellent upscaling capabilities and good SDR brightness, which ensures that lower-resolution content is displayed clearly and with enough brightness to make it easy to view. In contrast, the TCL S450G performs poorly for these types of content because of its less effective upscaling that doesn't enhance lower-quality signals as well and poor SDR brightness, which makes the display less vibrant in well-lit environments.

Additionally, the Hisense U6H handles reflections more effectively, further improving its performance in bright conditions.

The TCL S450G (LCD) and Hisense U6H (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Hisense U6H and TCL S450G both have fair performance in handling reflections, ensuring average visibility in bright rooms. While both have limitations in motion processing, vital for smooth sports viewing, the TCL S450G displays slightly better response times essential for fast-moving scenes but struggles with narrower viewing angles compared to the Hisense, which might affect group watching experiences.

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. (...)"

"TCL, though, has built much of its success on affordable sets, and the 2023 TCL S Class S4 with Google TV is a testament to just how good of a TV you can get for an affordable price tag"

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.
