The Hisense U6G offers better picture quality and is more suitable for watching movies, due to its higher contrast and better local dimming feature. However, in very bright rooms, its performance might not be as good as other models. The TV also provides a good gaming experience but lacks some advanced gaming features. On the other hand, the TCL Q6 is generally less expensive and still delivers decent performance for most content, including sports and TV shows. It offers similar capabilities for gaming and comes with a voice command feature not present on the Hisense U6G. If you prioritize streaming and use voice controls, the TCL Q6 would be a reasonable choice. However, for a better overall picture quality, especially for movie enthusiasts, the Hisense U6G may be worth the extra investment. Give Feedback

The Hisense U6G (LCD) is good for movies & TV, while the TCL Q6 (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense U6G performs better for watching movies and cinematic TV because it has higher contrast, more effective local dimming, and better black uniformity, delivering deeper blacks and more detailed shadows crucial for movie watching. Compared to the TCL Q6, the Hisense U6G also offers better color performance right out of the box, along with a fuller color volume for richer, more vivid images, although both have similar viewing angles which are limiting for off-center viewing.

The Hisense U6G (LCD) is only fair for gaming, while the TCL Q6 (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense U6G offers a better gaming experience because it has a higher response time and lower input lag, which are crucial for quick and smooth on-screen action, whereas the TCL Q6, while providing the same refresh rate, falls short with a lower response time and higher input lag, potentially leading to more noticeable delays and less fluid motion during gameplay.

The Hisense U6G (LCD) is very good for cartoons & animation, while the TCL Q6 (LCD) is only fair.
The Hisense U6G displays cartoons and animation with more vibrant and varied colors as it has a better color volume, enhancing the overall picture quality. In contrast, the TCL Q6 may not reproduce colors as vividly due to its lower color out of the box performance, resulting in a less engaging viewing experience for animated content.

The Hisense U6G (LCD) is very good for news, talk, & other TV, while the TCL Q6 (LCD) is only fair.
The Hisense U6G outperforms the TCL Q6 in upscaling lower resolution content, critical for daily television programs, and it also offers slightly better colors out of the box, which means less adjustment for accurate image display. Although both TVs have very good SDR brightness for well-lit rooms, the Hisense U6G has a higher contrast and better local dimming, leading to a more dynamic picture that enhances regular TV viewing like news or talk shows.

The TCL Q6 (LCD) and Hisense U6G (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Hisense U6G has better response time, motion processing, and handles reflections well, making it more suitable for fast-paced sports in diverse lighting conditions, while the TCL Q6 has similar issues with reflections and viewing angles, which could affect the clarity and visibility when watching from the side or in a bright room. Gray uniformity, which impacts how evenly the sports field appears, is somewhat better on the Hisense, although both are similarly fair in this aspect.

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.
