The Best TV in its Price Tier
The Hisense U6N is at the bottom (or entry level) of the company's ULED lineup but that doesn't mean that it's an average television. It has some features that you normally find on costlier televisions. It incorporates Mini-LED for better contrast, good black levels, and quantum dots for color. The U6N supports HDR formats including Dolby Vision IQ and HDR10+ Adaptive. It also includes a slightly paired-down version of the Hi-View Engine, which is their embedded microprocessor setup. It also supports Google TV, Alexa voice control, and Variable refresh rate for game consoles. It's a very good choice for those who want an above-average feature set at an affordable price point. It's by no means perfect. I didn't like some of the lack of sharpness displayed in some HD content and "only" a 60Hz native refresh rate. But I think a lot of people would be impressed by the TV. Design ===== The TV has an all-black design with a fairly thin bezel. It's not as thin as some of the more expensive competition, but it’s not heavy and I did not have any trouble mounting it on a wall. You can't say it's an objectively ugly TV set and you won't confuse it for the top tier competition but it's about a quarter of the price. I found it a nice looking matte black TV that will fit into your living space. The remote control is pretty straight forward. It's lightweight with buttons for basic navigation, volume control, and popular streaming apps. I wish it had dedicated number buttons. The buttons are backlit and I dig the the gray and black contrast. Picture Quality ============ The display features a VA panel. Although I'm not an expert, I've noticed that the viewing angles are somewhat narrower compared to IPS panels. My family and I usually watch the TV from the front, so we haven't encountered any issues. However, viewing from the sides might be challenging. Despite this, it offers the best budget viewing experience I've found, particularly in dimly lit rooms. One of the key selling points of the U6N is its use of a scaled-down version of Hisense's Hi-View Engine. This processor is responsible for upscaling and motion processing. The upscaling is satisfactory, but it struggles to make lower-resolution content appear really sharp. The motion processing is somewhat inconsistent. While it can enhance fast-paced action scenes, it can also introduce artifacts in certain situations. Overall, considering the price, the picture quality is very competitive and will satisfy most people. Smart Features and Connectivity ========================== The U6N runs on Google TV so you’ll have access to over 10,000 compatible apps. I had a few instances of lag but the CPU does a better job of keeping things smooth in the navigation menus than some other televisions I’ve used. The load times for installing, deleting, and opening apps were not bad. The issue I ran into the most was the OS taking a few seconds to reload the launcher after exiting an app. Sound Quality ============ As expected at this price tier, the U6N's onboard speakers are adequate but unremarkable. They produce enough sound for casual viewing, but lack the detail needed for an immersive audio experience. Don't expect surround sound or faux surround sound. The audio is hollow but passable for daily TV watching. The majority of the audio originates from the bottom of the TV and I found it difficult to ignore that fact. Also, plan on investing in a dedicated soundbar or home theater sound system to boost your setup. Verdict ====== I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for the most value for their money and not looking to spend a lot. While its image processing and viewing angles have limitations, the abundance of features, including low input lag, VRR, and a user-friendly Google platform, make it a compelling choice for movie watchers and gamers alike.

Great TV at this price point!
Years ago I would walk in to Best Buy and see all of the big name/high priced TVs and I absolutely wanted one. However, several years ago I got my first Hisense 65" TV and I haven't looked back. This makes my third Hisense TV. They all still work great. I have one in the bedroom, this one in the living room and my former living room TV is now in the garage. First, the picture quality is excellent. I would put it up against the big name brands. Are theirs a little better? Sure, but is that worth double or even triple the price? I personally don't think so. The colors are bright and vibrant. Blacks are truly black. Out of the box, I found most of the settings were fairly spot on. This TV has tons of adjustments for the picture. Everything from your basic brightness setting to specifically the black level and dark detail. You can set the active contrast level to really make the images pop. I find that Dolby Vision IQ handles everything well. The remote is often overlooked, but this one is great. It is backlit which is great for nighttime viewing. Simply touch it or pick it up and it lights up. There are dedicated buttons for Netflix, YouTube, Prime Video, Disney+, tubi and a "heart" (or favorite) button. In the settings, you can set this button to your most used service that is not already there. I've set ours to open Hulu. It doesn't have number buttons, but it does have a button for numbers. Pressing this brings up the numbers on the screen that you can select. I don't mind this as it (and the TV itself) have voice controls, and I don't really use anything that would need them anyway. As far as gaming goes, the first thing I noticed when I started my PS5 was that the TV switched to game mode. This helps with the Variable Refresh Rate and response time when gaming. However, I did notice that it made the brightness far too dark for what I like, so I had to make adjustments to it to get it where I wanted it. Another thing that I found was that if you press the menu button on the remote, it takes you to a menu bar on the TV. It's like a quick access button to various settings. These include, picture settings, picture mode (so you can quickly switch between Dolby Vision IQ, IQ Dark, IQ Custom and IQ game modes), sound, game settings, sleep timer, etc. You can also edit it to include up to 26 of the settings, so you can customize it to what you need the most, and remove the ones you don't need. The interesting one is the "Game Bar". Going to this allows you to get to the settings for gaming. It has dark detail, brightness, instant game response, crosshair and more. If you go to more settings, you can enable your FPS viewing (showing the current frames per second on the screen) and you can set it to any of the four corners. The crosshair setting is interesting. I've only seen it on PCs. While all shooting games have a crosshair, having it from the TV in the exact center can be helpful. There are six different crosshair types, so you can choose the one that works best for you. A couple of things that could be improved. First, I did notice some bloom in one specific instance. A guy was being interviewed outside. It was a fairly bright background and he was wearing a black cowboy hat and dark blue shirt. At first I didn't pick up on what I was seeing, I just noticed something was "off" about it. I paused it and then noticed the bloom around him. It was like he had a bright white aura around him. I spent about 20 minutes playing with various settings (brightness, color, contrast, local dimming, etc.). I was able to make it less noticeable, but it never went away completely. I haven't noticed it any other time than that one particular scene. With the TV having a microphone, they give you the ability to turn it off. However, when you do, 4 yellow LEDs turn on next to the switch at the bottom of the TV. They are fairly dim, but still noticeable. Mine is covered by my soundbar, so it doesn't bother me. If you have the TV mounted or it's not covered, you may find this annoying. There doesn't seem to be a way to disable them, so you would probably just have to cover it with tape or something to not see them. I wish there was a little more room between the HDMI ports. I use a Fire Stick and with the power cable coming out of it, it wouldn't fit with another HDMI (my soundbar) plugged in above it. I had to use an extender so it would fit properly. Just something to note if you use a Fire Stick. Overall, at this price point, you're getting a lot for your money. I definitely recommend this Hisense TV as it has a ton of great features and customization options.
