The Hisense A6H is more suitable if you prioritize gaming, as it has a higher gaming score and performs better for animations and cartoons. It also has better sound quality. On the other hand, the TCL S435 offers better overall picture quality and dark room performance, which is ideal for watching movies and television series. However, it may not be as adept at handling bright rooms as the Hisense A6H. If most of your TV usage is in well-lit environments or involves gaming, you may prefer the Hisense A6H. If you tend to watch movies in darker settings and value picture quality, the TCL S435 might be the better choice. Both TVs are budget-friendly options with similar prices. Give Feedback

The TCL S435 (LCD) is only fair for movies & TV, while the Hisense A6H (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense A6H struggles in movie and cinematic experiences due to its poor contrast, lack of local dimming, and lower black uniformity, all of which limit its ability to display deep blacks and high contrast scenes effectively. On the other hand, the TCL S435 fares a bit better with its higher black uniformity and contrast which are essential for a more immersive viewing in dark scenes, though it isn't without its limitations in color accuracy and viewing angles.

The TCL S435 (LCD) is good for cartoons & animation, while the Hisense A6H (LCD) is poor.
The TCL S435 is better for watching cartoons and animation than the Hisense A6H because it delivers excellent colors right out of the box and has a fair color gamut, which is crucial for the vivid, varied hues commonly found in animated content. On the other hand, while the Hisense A6H has very good colors out of the box, its poor color gamut limits its ability to display the full spectrum of colors needed for the best cartoon and animation viewing experience.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Hisense A6H (LCD) to be only fair for sports, while the TCL S435 (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense A6H has a better viewing angle and reflection handling compared to the TCL S435, making it more suitable for watching sports especially in rooms with multiple seating positions and varying lighting conditions. However, the TCL S435 has slightly better gray uniformity, but its poor reflection handling and limited viewing angles reduce its overall appeal for sports enthusiasts.

The Hisense A6H (LCD) and TCL S435 (LCD) are both poor for gaming.
The Hisense A6H and TCL S435 are both considered poor for gaming due to their response time and input lag performance. Specifically, the A6H, while having better input lag, doesn't handle rapid movement well, and the S435 struggles with both delayed response to inputs and slower transitions in fast-paced scenes.

The TCL S435 (LCD) and Hisense A6H (LCD) are both poor for news, talk, & other TV.
The Hisense A6H and TCL S435 both have poor upscaling which might result in lower resolution content like news or talk shows not appearing as clear, especially on large screens. Additionally, their poor SDR brightness can make them less suitable for well-lit rooms, affecting daytime viewing of regular TV programs.

The TCL S435 (LCD) and Hisense A6H (LCD) are both poor for bright room.
The Hisense A6H and TCL S435 both perform poorly in a bright room due to their low SDR and HDR brightness and subpar handling of reflections; the Hisense A6H is marginally better at managing reflections compared to the TCL S435, but both still struggle with bright conditions. While contrast, color volume, and color gamut are important, they are less critical than brightness and reflections in this context, and both TVs have limitations that affect their performance in well-lit environments.

"The TCL 4-Series is so inexpensive and capable you might start to question why there are any multithousand-dollar TVs at all. The 4-Series setup is intuitive and easy. If you're just looking for an easy-to-use TV with decent picture, this is an excellent place to start."

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.
