Our Verdict
Hisense U6/U6H
TCL Q6/Q650G QLED
The Hisense U6/U6H is better than the TCL Q6/Q650G QLED, but they're very close. The Hisense has much better contrast, helped by its local dimming feature, so it looks better in dark rooms. It gets a bit brighter than the TCL in HDR and can emphasize bright highlights better, although the TCL, in turn, is brighter in SDR. The TCL offers more to gamers, with the option of playing in 1080p @ 120Hz or 1440p @ 120Hz with resolution halving and a matching VRR range. But of the two, the Hisense is the easiest TV to buy, install, and watch due to its vastly better pre-calibration color accuracy than the TCL.
