Our Verdict
Hisense A6/A65K
TCL S4/S470G
The Hisense A6/A65K is much better than the TCL S4/S470G. The Hisense delivers much better picture quality thanks to its better contrast, higher peak brightness, and better accuracy. The Hisense also has better motion handling with less blur behind fast-moving objects. The TCL has a wider viewing angle, but the Hisense is still a better choice, even if you have a wide seating arrangement.
