Hisense has released their U6K/U8K TVs which are a follow-up to their U6H/U7H/U8H series. U6K is the more economical way to go for these TV series. The box includes TV, 2 base stands with 4 mounting screws, remote control, 2 AAA batteries, power cord, quick setup guide/paperwork. The TV comes with a manufacturer's 2-year warranty. Disclaimer: I am reviewing the 55-inch U6K model (55U6K). PROS: ----------- * Putting the base stands onto the TV bottom was simple. They can only go on one way, so you can't mess up or get them backwards. * Initial setup was simple with the IR remote. During setup, the remote is actually bluetooth'd (paired) with the TV. * I like that this TV has multiple options for AUDIO OUTPUT - 3.5mm headphone jack, optical, & eARC * When using the Google Assistant (mic button) to search for apps, TV shows, and movies, this typically worked like a charm. It's very easy to get where you need to go simply by using the mic button. * The picture is colorful and ultra-clear with a semi-anti glare screen. The screen is not made of glass; however, there is some slight glare if the light hits it right. The 4K picture looks good and moves well due to the higher refresh rate of this TV. In addition, the blacks on this TV are acceptable when HDR is active. * 4 HDMI inputs with one of those using eARC is enough for most people. WiFi and Ethernet ports work fine so far. I use Ethernet when possible due to wired signal stability. Two USB 2.0 ports are available that can provide power to other low-power devices if needed. * TV can be wall-mounted using the VESA standard 400mmx200mm. There is no mounting hardware provided in the box though. * Quick buttons on the remote to open specific apps - Netflix, Prime, YouTube, Disney+, tubi, and an APPS button to bring up all apps. Other basic remote functions are also available including an INPUT button to switch between HDMI sources and the Smart functions. * The frameless screen gives a good modern touch to the TV. There is still about a 1/2-inch black border around the screen itself. * The sound that the TV produces out of the HDMI(eARC) and optical audio ports is normal like other TVs. Most of the sound itself is controlled by external speaker systems. CONS: ----------- * The base stands are pretty flimsy. I would like them to have a more solid feel to them. They are a bit on the "thin" side. If you try to move the TV by sliding left or right, you'll need to be careful with the legs. * There was significant lag when using the DirecTV Stream app. I felt in that moment that the processor in the TV was 2nd rate since it had a hard time keeping up. Other apps seemed to do ok. * As with most TVs, it is highly recommended to use a sound bar or sound system of some kind. The sound on this TV is very bad... worse than other TVs of this size with other manufacturers I have owned. There is quite a bit of treble. Sound clarity is average. * When performing a search (for an app, for instance), when you are typing letters, there is no auto-filter feature WHILE typing. For example, if you are looking to install the "ShowtimeAnytime" app and you start typing "Sho", nothing appears on-screen until you hit the SEARCH button. This is a basic function on most smart TV devices that should have been implemented here. This is a big miss. In addition, after hitting the SEARCH button (after you have entered text), it takes much longer than other devices I have used in the past (having said that, most other devices were already showing it on the screen due to the text filter). The search function needs to speed up in a big way. OTHER OBSERVATIONS: ----------- * The remote is very light, feels semi-cheap, but functions well for the most part. Placement of buttons are in good spots and has a good overall feel. * The rear of the TV includes an AV IN port which looks like a 3.5mm jack if needed. * The power button is located under the front-center portion of the TV and is indicated by a white power light on the front. The button is located under the power light area and can also be turned OFF in the TV settings if the white power light is distracting when viewing the TV in low-light environments. CONCLUSION: ===================== Overall, this TV is a great cheaper option than some of the other manufacturers. Having said that, there are some minor quality issues this TV has that might concern some people, but shouldn't be a deal-killer unless the buyer simply wants higher-end equipment. The remote, semi-sturdy stands, and internal processor are three of those issues that could be improved. The picture itself is fine along with the abundance of popular apps available in the Google Store. I would recommend AND buy again; however, the slow processor would be the primary reason I might consider upgrading to another Hisense model or another brand altogether. All-in-all, still a solid TV.

Let me begin by saying that this Hisense 55 inch U6K Mini-LED ULED Google Smart TV can't be compared to the higher end quality of tv's like the OLED tv's. They are two different technologies, so you can't, and shouldn't compare them. But, this new 2023 model year Hisense U6K series is a great budget friendly tv that give you a great picture for the price. I needed to replace a 17 year old 45 inch tv in my bedroom,that while it still worked well and look very good, especially for it's age and the technology that was available back then. Also, it could only produce 720p, which is fine for a bedroom of kids room, I wanted something bigger, and with 4K quality. I didn't want to spend much for a tv for the bedroom, and upon doing my research, I found the Hisense brand of tv's have been well received by the general public and have been given very good reviews over the years by professional reviewers as well as the average every day person. Since my old 45 inch tv was made way back then when the sides and bottom of the frame were way bigger, I could now get a 55 inch tv in the same space as my old 45 inch tv. Amazing ! The Hisense U6K series tv has a back lighting full array local dimming of mini LED's that creates a brighter, more uniform picture through out the entire screen than regular sized LED's found in other tv's which can produce non uniform contrast and color evenly to all areas of the screen. The mini LED's produce the contrast and color through the entire screen, from top to bottom and corner to corner.This greatly improves the contrast in both darker and lighter areas of your picture. The Hisense also uses Quantum dot technology which produces more vibrant, colorful and accurate colors that can produce over a billion, yes, that's billion, color combinations according to Hisense. And it really shows when you're viewing some high quality 4K HDR enabled content from a 4K blu ray disc, or streaming content fro Prime video or Netflix. Speaking of HDR, this Hisense U6K series tv has Dolby Vision HDR built into it. Dolby Vision HDR ups the color, brightness and contrast of your viewing experience. More and more content is being made with Dolby Vision HDR and as I mentioned above, you'll find it on may 4K blu ray disc, Prime video, and Netflix as well as other streaming platforms.When you're viewing a movie or program that is encoded with HDR, on the top right corner of your screen, a small box will appear for a few moments telling you that it's HDR encoded. Also, in one of my pictures with the tv being off, you can clearly see me in the tv screen. I have a window directly in front of the tv, so when it's off, you can see a reflection. But in daylight, with the tv on, there is hardly any reflection. In a dimly lit room, the picture quality is fantastic. As for the audio output of this tv, I wasn't expecting too much. After all, the bottom of my 55 inch tv is only 3 inches wide. Obviously a speaker won't be as wide as the tv, so generally it might not sound very good. I was wrong though. There are six different sound modes for this tv. regular, theater, sports, music, speech and late night. In addition to those, you can also adjust the sound quality with TruBass, TruSurround, dialog clarity, TruVolume and Dolby Atmos. And while Dolby Atmos and the TruSurround won't be nearly as good if you don't have separate dedicated speakers, it simulates those sound fields to something a bit better than just the regular speaker settings. And as you may see in a few of my pictures, yes, I do have a soundbar for my tv. My brother in law was finally upgrading his tv to a dedicated 5.1 surround sound, and he asked me if I wanted his soundbar, so I said yes. It's an improvement over the factory speakers in the Hisense, but if my brother in law didn't offer the soundbar to me for free, then I would be perfectly happy with the sound from the Hisense speakers. I decided to wall mount the Hisense instead of using the feet that came with the tv. With my previous 17 year old tv, it used a pedestal base. With the 55 inch Hisense it uses two feet. The distance between the feet is 39 inches which was way to wide for my use. My area is only 25 inches wide making it nearly impossible to place my 55 inch Hisense in the same place unless I added a 40 inch wide piece of wood that the tv could sit on. But if i bare touched the tv, it could fall off. So wall mounting was my best option. But beware, whether you wall mount the Hisense 55 inch tv or use the provided feet, the total length of the power cord is only 5 feet. Yes, 5 feet. I measured it. So, you may likely have to buy an extension cord. Overall, I can highly recommend this Hisense U6K 55inch tv. Whether you use this tv for your bedroom like me, or your main tv in your home, you really can't go wrong with this very budget friendly tv. Pro's : Excellent picture quality in daylight, dimly lit rooms, or dark rooms. Dolby Vision HDR Very good sound from the built in speakers. 2 year factory warranty. Cons : 5 foot power cord. Remote is not backlit. Remote is very, very lightweight even with the batteries. Hopefully it will last. The wide feet. A single pedestal would be much better IMHO.

I bought this TV for our den. We mainly use this room for watching movies and sports at night. We have an LG A1 OLED in our living room that we love, but we didn't want to spend that kind of money for a second OLED in the den. This U6K from Hisense seemed like a really good option, since you get OLED-like performance out of the mini-led tech for a fraction of the price. Let me tell you, this TV holds its own. No, the blacks are not as deep as they are in an OLED, but the local dimming works VERY well. In fact, because this gets brighter than our A1, bright scenes in HDR or SDR actually look better to my eyes than our A1. My only complaints are around the processor. I love Google TV, but it is pretty laggy on this TV. This is especially noticeable when you first turn it on. Also, the upscaling is not good. When watching live content that is native 720p or 1080p, the upscaling doesn't do a great job. This can be mitigated by using your own streaming device (e.g. Apple TV, Nvidia Shield, Roku, etc.), but it's notable. However, for this price, I think the laggy UI is forgivable. I think this is probably one of the best TVs you can get in this price range. I'm extremely happy with it. I can't speak to its reliability long-term yet, but hoping it holds up for years to come. One last note.... The instruction manual shows that this TV has two locations to install the feet of the TV. One location that is close to the edge of the TV and another that is more centered (this is in case you have a TV stand that is narrower than the TV). The 55in TV DOES NOT have this second location to put the feet closer to the center. That is only on the larger models. Really frustrating that the manual doesn't mention this.

Poor picture quality! When you are watching a movie and the scene gets dark the picture turns blurry. Also every once in awhile I get a black spot on the screen.

TVs are remarkably difficult to evaluate. There are seemingly countless specs and marketing terms meant to impress. Ultimately your enjoyment of a TV will likely come down to image quality for the types of media you watch, affected by the watching environment. The Hisense 55-inch Class U6 Series Mini-LED ULED impresses. I’m a designer, so I had the luxury of testing this nice piece of equipment with several variables - total darkness, southern light, reflected western light, under cold fluorescent and warm LED lighting. The Dolby Vision IQ technology worked well, optimizing the screen for the ambient conditions. What does that mean in layperson’s terms? The screen will brighten or dim, as well as adjust color intensity and the deepens blacks- so you don’t have to worry. You CAN still make manual adjustments in the easy menu settings. I found the crispness of images to be very good and colors and dark scenes appropriately punchy or somber. Sound is rarely top notch in flat screens, but with Dolby Vision Atmos you’ll be ok. I’d still recommend a soundbar, but that’s my personal obsession with audio quality. The Hisense was very easy to set-up, including the Google features. You have Google Assistant and a remote with a microphone built-in. It’s easy to tie into your Google Home network if you have one. Several “channels” and streaming services are easily downloaded to expand your viewing pleasure. Apple AirPlay and Apple Home are also features and they work without hassle. Of course, that’s working with Bluetooth, so you can use your impressive screen to display images and video from other Bluetooth devices. I often use my computer with a large screen and this worked nicely. I really like this new product from Hisense. I think you will too.

In 2019 I reviewed an earlier version of this 4K TV, the Hisense 55H9F, and I had almost all positive things to say about it. Sometimes it was a little laggy, and I occasionally had to clear the TV's cache. The model I am reviewing here, the 55U6K, has a larger ROM (7.3 GB as opposed to 4.2 GB) and the 4-core ARM Cortex-A-53 1500 Mhz CPU is noticeably faster than the CPU of the older model. In almost every way, the Hisense 55U6K is even better than its predecessor, which was great TV. The Hisense 55U6K runs on a Google TV version of Android, which means that signing into your Google account during setup greatly facilitates the process. Although it is not necessary to have a Google account or to use the Google Assistant for voice commands, it makes sense to use Google on a Google TV. However, just like its predecessor, you have to learn which words work for voice commands and searches, or you will get unexpected results. Not to worry, learning to use Google Assistant is easy, and you can always use the well-designed remote to choose options on the screen. One new feature is a switch on the bottom of the TV that, when turned on, allows you to talk to Google Assistant even when the TV is not turned on. The TV also kind of integrates with Amazon Alexa if you have that. My success in controlling these TVs with Alexa has been limited. For example, I can ask Alexa to turn them off, but not on. Not too important, given the availability of Google Assistant. The 55U6K is pretty good at identifying peripherals that you plug into its HDMI ports, and it automatically creates labels for identified inputs, which you can change, if you like. It recognized my rather old Samsung DVD player simply as "DVD Player." It labeled my Xfinity Flex Box as "Xfinity X1," which is almost correct. The Flex Box is a simplified version of the full-fledged Xfinity X1 cable box. It didn't recognize my Dell HTPC as anything, so it left its label as the HDMI 2 port I had it plugged into. Again, it was very easy to relabel this input. The only peripheral the 55U6K had trouble with was my Roku streaming stick, which had always worked perfectly on the older Hisense TV. The stick never could connect completely. I would get a message, "HDMI 1 has been connected" but when I tried to launch Roku, the Roku screen appeared only briefly, followed by the message "Weak or no signal." It did not matter which HDMI input I tried. However, when I plugged in a Roku Premiere media player, the Hisense TV instantly recognized it as a Roku Premiere player, and the player functioned perfectly. Both the older 55H9F and the newer 55U6K have exactly the same display specifications, which are 3840x2160 pixels, Ultra HD 4K 2160p, 1073741824 colors at 30 bits. I was therefore surprised when I played the same 4K video simultaneously on both TVs and found that the color on the 55U6K was a little duller. In the accompanying photos the image on the 55U6K is above the older TV. What appeared as bright yellow on the older TV had a slight orange cast on the newer 55U6K. In most cases the difference was subtle, but in one case a light gray tire appeared as almost black. I double-checked the picture settings to make sure that they both had the same brightness, contrast, tint, etc., and they did. You could of course change these settings if you wanted to, but I am actually satisfied with the default color settings on the 55U6K. Perhaps the only real disappointment I suffered with the 55U6K is that I was not able to connect peripherals through the HDMI input of my Samsung HW-N650/ZA soundbar when it was connected to the HDMI 1 eARC input of the Hisense TV. This HDMI eARC connect worked fine for streaming sound from the TV to the soundbar (as did the optical connection). But I could not take advantage of eARC to add an extra peripheral HDMI input through the soundbar. This is not a dealbreaker, however, as four HDMI inputs are sufficient for my needs. The TV scan picked up all 20 OTA channels that are available in our remote area, and the picture quality was excellent. All-in-all, I am extremely happy with this feature-laden 4K TV, which is an improvement over the 2019 model and well worth the price.

One of the reasons why I chose this TV is because I am an avid Android user. I have multiple devices in my Google Home which made setting up this TV a breeze. Google automatically grabbed my saved username and password from various accounts like Netflix, YouTube, etc. Being a ULED technology, the TV is much lighter to lift compared to other technology. We opted to put it in our entertainment center instead of mounting it on the wall. Right out of the box, the colors are not as accurate as I expected them to be. But after changing the color setting and calibration, I found the quality to be much better. The speakers are pretty good for a built-in system, especially considering how thin the panel is. The only thing I wish is for the remote to be lit because we enjoy movie nights with the lights out. I supposed I can upgrade to a better remote considering the price point is not too bad. The remote comes with several popular shortcuts such as Netflix, YouTube, Hulu, Disney, Tubi, and Peacock. Overall, it's a great TV to watch your shows but do not expect OLED quality like more expensive system.

10/10 recommend this model and probably any newer model with the same features. I purchased the Hisense U6 4k with HDR and full array local dimming as an open box purchase. It is in perfect condition with no visible signs that it was not brand new. The picture quality is absolutely wonderful. My previous TV was a older 4k Vizio that didn't have HDR and definitely didn't have local dimming.. The darker darks really makes the bright colors so much more vivid. The dark scenes are realistic dark. For example in a movie when a character is shining a flashlight in a pitch black cave, it's hard to see anything that isn't lit by the flashlight. It's like you're actually there and seeing only what they can see. The TV sound is okay. Probably good for a TV. I have it connected through the HDMI Arc for control of a sound bar and it works flawlessly.

I have last years model of this TV in my living room in 75” size and love it. So, I decided to get one for my sons room. I opted for the 55” which fits on his stand perfectly. I was a bit worried about where the feet of the TV would land but it ended up working out perfectly. This is a great size for his larger than normal room. I like everything about this TV. The image is great and really competes with some of the top brand TVs out there. If you are on a budget and looking for a fantastic TV, this one hits the mark. The colors are great and very vibrant. The interface is Google which is simple to use and the stock audio is pretty good as well. I’m very impressed with the features this TV comes with for the price. It is also great for gaming. I have an Xbox Series X and it pairs very well with this TV. The TV was simple to setup and the guided setup walked me through all of the steps. I was up and running in no time at all. I'm very pleased with the Hisense brand and I feel like they are becoming more popular with their quality built products.

About the best Tv you can get at this price level. Great colors, good contrast sound is surprisingly good, noticeable upscaling issues especially with streaming, remote is clunky and sluggish, but all in all the features you get at this price point makes that forgivable. It really is a great picture and sound for a budget TV especially with HD content.

Hard to beat for the price! I did some thorough research prior to purchasing my tv. Many places vouched for this tv and now I see why. For roughly $300 you are going to have a hard time finding a better picture at this size. Colors look great, blacks for a $300 LED are better than expected, and the UI despite sometimes feeling sluggish, is easy to navigate. Have not had any major glare issues when watching tv with direct light coming into the room. I do not game on this TV but I did try to and with some settings adjustments can comfortably play at 60hz without any issue. I use a soundbar so no opinion on the built in speakers. Time will tell if the panel holds up but a few months in and I have had 0 complaints.

While I was shopping on-line to find a replacement for my recently deceased television, I kept seeing glowing reviews and recommendations for Hisense TVs with mini-LED and local-dimming features. I found both features are generally reserved for high end televisions at substantial price points. The Hisense U-Series of televisions seem to be a remarkable exception to that high price rule and I think the U6K is the entry level TV everyone should see. I am not a gamer and for me that is not an issue. If gaminng is your thing, I understand both the U7 and U8 are more for you. If you watch movies from Blue-Ray or 4-K sources and enjoy streaming content in any of the HDR formats, the U6 has a dazzling picture with deep blacks and amazing hi-lites way beyond what you would expect to see at the $500 price point. The television built in sound is OK but mine is set-up with a full surround system for a greater impact. This is as close as I have ever been to having a movie theater in my home. The Google TV operating system completes the package and has almost elliminated the need for the other plug-in streaming devices I used with my older smart TV. I highly recommend the U6 or one of the other U-Series TVs in the Hisense line of Mini-LED ULED TVs.

I got this as a TV to slap in my bedroom and it fills the role well. The pictures looks quite good, it gets very bright, the colors pop, and the local dimming works well. Personally I think this is the best budget TV on the market.

Great value for $400! Waited a couple of years for prices to come down on OLED TVs. They never did! So, here's the next best thing at about one third of the price. So far we've been very satisfied with the clarity of this set. It's a huge upgrade from our early generation Samsung Smart TV. With easy setup and countless viewing options on Google TV, the Hisense Q6 delivers a modern viewing experience at half the price of its bigger name- brand competition. I wish we had not waited so long to make the move!

We upgraded from an old, smaller TV to this based on a Wirecutter recommendation and after a period of adjustment—I had to figure out how to turn off the various motion-smoothing and auto-adjusting functions, of which there are several—it's been a revelation. Everything looks and sounds amazing, and the smart-tv and app functions that I've used (I'm not doing the voice-activated stuff) is actually decently useful and convenient. A really impressive product at a pretty reasonable price.
