The Hisense U6H offers one of the best pictures we've seen in a truly budget-priced TV, even if it makes compromises in contrast performance.

The Hisense U6H delivers more for the cost than most TVs in its price range. On average, it looks better than the Sony X80K, it's roughly on par with the Samsung Q60B, and it’s the only TV of those three to offer Variable Refresh Rate. That said, both the X80K and the Q60B have much better motion handling than the U6H, so keep that in mind if you’re sensitive to motion judder.

The Hisense U6H is an exceptional budget TV from a reliable brand that often looks and performs like a higher-priced set. Overall picture quality gets two solid thumbs-up across the board, and the Google TV platform is an intuitive and user-friendly way to experience the world of smart TV content.

When we review a new TV model we always try to compare it with last year’s offering in order to see if it is really an improvement or as it happens a lot of times just a re-release of the same model with minor changes. The 2022 U6H is a lovely low budget TV for many reasons. It seems that Hisense tried to add new features but in the process the TV seems to have lost some of its performance compared to the 2021 model.

The attractive pricing of the Hisense U6H series is one of many reasons to choose a TV from this product line. Excellent picture quality and a smooth user interface only sweeten the deal.

If you just want a solid 4K image without too many extra bells and whistles, the Hisense 58U6HF is the way to go. This 58-Inch 4K Quantum Dot QLED Smart Fire TV is a very capable TV, with all the features gamers and movie lovers alike look for. With HDMI 2.1 and support for Dolby Vision and HDR10+, the TV has the specs; it produces good color, sharpness, and brightness, all at a very reasonable price.

In the end, I was very impressed with the Hisense U6H. Considering it starts at R12,999 for the 55-inch and R16,999 for the 65-inch, this TV is a fantastic low-cost entry into 4K content and gaming. Its local dimming features and general usability provide a great way to experience modern games and content the way they should be without breaking the bank. Sure, the local dimming might take some time to get used to and you’ll definitely see some blooming here and there but the quality is great regardless of these small issues.

It's great for watching movies in dark rooms, thanks to its high native contrast ratio for deep blacks, and it has a decent local dimming feature to improve the contrast. It's also good for watching HDR movies as some colors and highlights stand out, but not all do. It's good for watching shows and decent for sports in a well-lit room as it has good reflection handling and gets bright, but its slow response time makes motion look blurry, and it has a narrow viewing angle. Lastly, it's great for gaming as it comes with variable refresh rate (VRR) support and has low input lag, but it doesn't support HDMI 2.1 bandwidth for high-frame-rate gaming.
