Hisense A6G (2021) Series

Image remains accurate at an angle. Very little stutter. Huge selection of streaming apps. Upscales low-resolution content well. Decent reflection handling. Low input lag for gaming.

No local dimming. Bad HDR peak brightness. Not very bright. Just okay response time. Mediocre contrast. Sub-par black uniformity.

The Hisense A6G is an okay TV overall. The wide viewing angle and decent reflection handling make it a decent choice for watching shows during the day, but it isn't bright enough to fight glare in a well-lit room. It's also okay for watching sports as...

Slick design for the price ; Home screen provides some useful recommendations ; Includes Dolby Volume and dialog enhancement

Missing several popular streaming apps ; You can’t rearrange apps or customize home screen content ; Middling display quality with limited contrast ; Switching inputs is needlessly difficult

Comcast’s smart TV software needs improvement to take on the likes of Roku and Google TV.

Very watchable 4K images ; Fine spec includes great HDR coverage and some HDMI 2.1 functionality ; Clean, customisable smart TV interface

Contrasts are far from strong ; Impoverished sound ; Other Hisense screens have better smart TV offerings

A lot of screen for the money ; Very watchable 4K and 1080p images ; Solid list of features

Limited contrast range ; Weedy audio quality ; Other Hisense screens have a better smart TV interface

The Hisense A6G goes quite a long way towards being a bargain, and certainly where it’s good it’s well worth the money. It has more weak areas than we’ve lately become used to from Hisense, though, and you absolutely must budget for a soundbar - even...

Detailed and colorful 4K images ; Good specs + HDMI 2.1 compatibility ; A lot of screen for the cash

Doesn’t do ‘bright’, doesn’t do ‘dark’ ; Smart TV interface feels restricted ; Sounds lackluster

Exceptional value for money ; Brightness with HDR impressive ; Friendly smart system

Colours can look a bit pale ; Picture presets aren’t helpful ; Some colour banding with HDR

While a couple of picture niggles prevent the 43A6GTUK from completely escaping its budget chains, it’s still good value.

Cookie cutter good looks ; Dolby Vision HDR support ; Solid, unfussy smart platform

Only three HDMI ports ; No 4K 120Hz support ; HDR peak brightness could be better

The Hisense A6G is a superior budget 4K TV that could easily pass for something more premium. Key attractions include Dolby Vision HDR and strong streaming service options, but there are limitations if you’re a serious gamer.
