Our Verdict
Hisense H8G
TCL R635
The TCL 6 Series/R635 2020 is somewhat better than the Hisense H8G. The TCL gets much brighter, displays a much wider color gamut, has a quicker response time, and has VRR support. However, the Hisense has a much lower input lag, better gradient handling, better reflection handling, and the local dimming feature performs better.
