55U6N PRO HISENSE-PRO 55 60HZ MINI

The Hisense U6/U6N is one of the best budget-friendly TVs on the market and outperforms similarly priced models from brands like LG, Samsung, and Sony. Its standout feature is its contrast, which has been drastically improved over last year's Hisense U6/U6K. The TV delivers very deep blacks that rival those found on much more expensive TVs, although there's some noticeable blooming. The TV doesn't have the HDMI 2.1 bandwidth found on the higher-tier Hisense U7N, but it's still a capable gaming TV, supporting up to 4k @ 60Hz with VRR. You can even choose to game in up to 1440p @ 120Hz if you'd rather have a higher frame rate. Unfortunately, its VRR feature doesn't work @ 120Hz, which limits its usefulness for gamers looking for a nearly tear-free gaming experience.

It's comparable to TVs like the TCL Q5/Q550G QLED and the TCL Q6/Q650G QLED, but the TCL models are a bit better for gamers since 1080p and 1440p @ 120Hz work properly with VRR on them. Still, the Hisense U6N provides much better overall picture quality than the TCL models, mainly due to its local dimming feature that delivers significantly better contrast. If you're looking for an affordable TV that looks good and performs well overall, the U6N is hard to beat.
