Hisense A6G (2021) Series

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

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

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

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.
