Buyers no longer have to make sacrifices when shopping for a budget TV. The 65-inch Hisense U6 is an alternative to still pricey 4K OLED TVs that's bright enough for any setting. It also handles darker movies and games surprisingly well with full array local dimming. While already affordable, the Hisense U6 mini LED TV has now fallen below $500 at Amazon and Best Buy.
Even some premium OLED panels struggle in well-lit environments. With stellar HDR and SDR brightness, a mini LED TV like the Hisense U6 doesn't require a dim media room. The finest details remain visible when watching horror flicks or playing a suspenseful Resident Evil game. Thanks to Dolby Vision support, 4K nature content comes alive with an expansive color palette.
The main drawback of the Hisense U6 is its lack of HDMI 2.1 inputs. However, buyers shouldn't knock the gaming potential of this mini LED TV. It excels at 4K 60 Hz settings, with VRR that minimizes stutter on Xbox and PlayStation consoles. Reviewers have also measured reasonable latency on the U6, making it an option for competitive FPS action.
Poor software is often the downfall of budget smart TVs, forcing viewers to rely on Fire TV sticks or standalone media players. Fortunately, the 65-inch Hisense U6 ships with Google TV, providing an unmatched app selection. The included remote responds to Google Assistant or Alexa voice commands and simplifies finding the latest TV shows and movies. WiFi 6 connectivity also ensures that buffering won't spoil streaming sessions.
Upgrading to the pricier Hisense U7 offers the benefits of a native 144Hz panel. Still, the discounted H6 provides more than adequate picture quality for cinema buffs and gamers.
Purchase the Hisense U6 mini LED TV for $498 at Amazon or $499.99 at Best Buy
