The Hisense U6H generally offers better picture quality, especially for movies and series, which makes it a good choice if you enjoy watching films in a dark room. It also has slightly better performance in bright rooms. If you're on a budget, the Hisense U6H is much less expensive. On the other hand, the TCL R745 excels in gaming with faster response time and lower input lag, which is crucial for fast-paced gaming. It's important to note, however, that the TCL is significantly more expensive and has a larger screen size, which could be beneficial if you're looking for a more immersive experience but have a larger space to fill.

The Hisense U6H (LCD) is good for movies & TV, while the TCL R745 (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense U6H is better for watching movies and cinematic TV because it has higher contrast, better local dimming, and superior black uniformity which are critical for deep blacks and shadow details. The TCL R745 falls short primarily due to its lower contrast, lack of local dimming, and poor black uniformity, which affects the depth and realism of the cinematic experience.

The Hisense U6H (LCD) is very good for news, talk, & other TV, while the TCL R745 (LCD) is only fair.
The Hisense U6H is considered very good for watching news, talk shows, and TV programs largely due to its strong SDR brightness, which facilitates clear visibility in various lighting conditions, and its ability to upscale content effectively, ensuring that lower resolution content looks crisp. In contrast, the TCL R745 is rated as fair for the same content because while it has capable upscaling, its SDR brightness is not on par, potentially affecting its visibility in brighter rooms.

The TCL R745 (LCD) and Hisense U6H (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Hisense U6H offers good motion processing capabilities but is noted to have poor response time which might result in some motion blur during fast sports scenes, whereas the TCL R745 has fair motion processing and a fair response time, making it more capable of handling fast movements with less blur. However, both TVs struggle with reflections and have limited viewing angles, which could affect the visibility of the screen during sports events from different seating positions or in bright rooms.

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.
