Watching your favorite show on television having an outstanding display with rich colors would not be as enjoyable if the audio is poor. Hisense’s A6G isn’t exactly a high performer, but it offers a lot of tech and screen real estate at an agreeable price’ The Hisense 55A6BGTUK does not come with a separate One Connect Box. The One Connect Box is a feature commonly found in select Samsung TVs where all the inputs, outputs, and power connections are consolidated into a separate box. This arrangement helps to minimize cable clutter and simplifies installation. However, the Hisense 55A6BGTUK offers a variety of input ports directly on the TV unit itself, allowing for convenient connection of external devices. Accessories When fed Dolby Vision content, the 55A6G’s presets switch to Dolby Vision Bright, Dolby Vision Dark and Dolby Vision Custom. Like pretty much every other 4K TV, the Hisense 55A6G looks its best when given some 4K content to work with – and, in this instance, we needn’t worry unduly about the flavour of HDR with which it comes. So, with a Netflix stream of the Dolby Vision-assisted The Trial of the Chicago Seven incoming, the A6G ought to be able to give its best shot.

Two full-range drivers powered by a total of 16 watts isn’t the most promising recipe, and sure enough there isn’t much satisfaction to be had in the way the A6G sounds.Hisense likes to keep you on your toes where smart TV is concerned – some of its models use Android TV, some use Roku TV… the A6G uses the company’s proprietary VIDAA U5 interface. And as far as it goes, VIDAA U5 isn’t bad: it’s clean, logical, easily customised and has an okay selection of catch-up and streaming service apps. But it doesn’t really go far enough, certainly not where the likes of Disney+ and Apple TV are concerned – neither are included here. A built-in Chromecast feature means you can use your phone, tablet, or any android device to stream your favorite movies, shows, and music to your Smart TV without a physical connection. Percentage luminance drop at 35 degree horizontal angle from the centre of the screen with 100% white output In fact, skin-tones also reveal just how adept the A6G is when it comes to the finer details. It manages to load images with lots of pertinent information without being laboured or aggressive about it, and even the most complicated patterns or involved textures are delivered in believable fashion. The same is true of edge-definition, which is smooth and confident, and on-screen motion. Televisions at any price can sometimes struggle to exert authority over movement, but the Hisense keeps a grip of motion without any overt alarms.

As an upscaler, too, the Hisense A6G has its limits. It’s able to do pretty decent work with 1080p Full HD content – yes, those impressive detail levels fall away a little, and edges can become slightly restless, but in overall terms the Hisense fills its enormous pixel-count skillfully. But step down from there to some DVD-stored content, say, or – even worse – some daytime TV broadcasts, and the A6G gives up the ghost somewhat. But we’re okay with that. You have to expect some compromise at the shallow end of the pool. The question is, are the compromises too obvious? Polishing pixelsNo-one really designs a TV, do they? Well, no-one except Bang & Olufsen. Everyone else gets on with the job of making their TVs look as discreet and unassuming as possible, using materials that are entirely dictated by the price point they’re trying to hit. And so it is with the Hisense A6G.

So far, so good. But, inevitably, there’s a price to be paid for all the pennies saved. For a start, the 55A6G isn’t a wide colour gamut panel, which means it won’t get the best from a 4K disc library. There’s also no local dimming, and the nearest you’ll get to Deep Learning is trying to memorise the menu. With good care, a TCL TV can last up to many years, so you needn’t worry about getting another TV anytime soon! TCL Roku TV

Saving the day, however, are rich hues and stunning fine detail. When our dysfunctional crew lands at the UTS Commercial District, this neon city-space-turned-nightclub makes even Blade Runner look staid, despite the absence of any wide colour boost. A quad core processor helps keep navigation sprightly, and there’s a choice of either Google or Alexa smart assistant compatibility for voice control and search. Hisense models use Android TVs and Hisense’s own VIDAA operating system with AI (only implemented in their more expensive models). The benefits of using the Android platform include: Hisense and TCL offer HDR displays in their 4K Ultra HD models, implying that their screens show a spectrum of colors, producing more detailed images. However, TCL TVs have a greater color accuracy, reproducing lifelike and exact shades and colors. Durability Max light output HDR (high dynamic range) while displaying small white square taking up 10% of the screen (measured in Nits)

For some time now, Hisense has been doing great work to deliver TVs with up-to-the-minute specs at prices the big mainstream brands wouldn’t dare countenance. And its extensive new A6G range (of which we’re looking at the 55in model) is its latest attempt to do just that.

For gaming enthusiasts, the Hisense 55A6BGTUK offers a satisfactory gaming experience. The 4K UHD display with HDR technology delivers stunning visuals, making games come to life with vibrant colors and sharp details. However, it’s worth noting that this TV does not support advanced gaming features such as a high refresh rate or Variable Refresh Rate (VRR).
