Good for standard use. It doesn't have HDMI 2.1 so don't expect this thing to be a gaming station device, but if you just want to have something for TV that looks great and has good features then this is a great choice. If you want a device for hooking up to and gaming, I would highly recommend the U7 from Hisense which supports 4k 144hz.
Comparison
It's definitely noticeably better. Wayyy brighter and it has far more lighting control for tiny bright highlights. Whether it's worth it to you is subjective and depends on whether you want that extra bit of viewing punch or if the U6N is enough for your casual viewing needs
Comparison
I had this TV for 13 months, and is now having this issue... This issue happens as it's core, this video is not taken through a HDMI cable or anything, it's just the TV itself connected to the wall. Tried changing pictures settings, tuned down luminosity to pressure down the panel, put back the TV to factory settings, nope.
Complaint
The sound will play just fine for a moment in 5.1, so I hear it through the subwoofer and rear speakers as well as soundbar, and then cut out for a moment. It tends to be a second on and a second off, though this time varies slightly.
Complaint
Purchased a Hisense U6N with Google TV this week and tried watching some YouTube videos. Most work without a problem but will freeze (black screen + unresponsive) whenever I click on this specific video... After freezing, other YouTube videos and apps like Netflix won’t work until restarting. This happened 5+ times.
Complaint
OP spend the extra money and get the 55" U6N. For around $300 you're not going to find a better TV for the price. It's easily the best television under $400 you'll find.
Praise
Only tcls worth buying are the 7 series and up. I'd stay away from hisense. The operating system is crap
Complaint
Bought in january as a present an U6N, and I am really satisfied both with the price I paid for it ( about 200 euros less than same-class competitors) and the image quality. Love all the other things things too, inbfact ( animations, speed, signal reception). The issue I'm having is with the HDMI-ARC connection.
Praise
I used it on a PS5 too and noticed the blurriness just need to set the game modes/clarity settings to get rid of it, also dropped frames isn’t on the TV. I would get the U7 or any other similar TV that can do 4k/120hz if gaming was the main focus
Comparison
I had the 65" version of the QD7 for a couple of months and was never really happy with the contrast/blacks (it's not mini-LED). I returned it for the 65" U6N (for the same price 680 CAN $) and the improvement in picture quality was incredible. Go with the U6N !
Comparison
Damn. I just ordered a QM7 for the bedroom. Save some money for this instead? I've heard bad things about Hisense longevity
Complaint
I have the 55U6N and it's incredible for $350.
Praise
Went from a U6 to a U8 in my bright living room and the difference is night and day for sports and movies. The U6 is good, but the U8's extra brightness cuts through glare way better and the colors just look more vibrant.
Comparison
You're going to get the best blacks from the 55" U6N. I have a 65 inch U8N and it's really, really good.
Praise
Sadly, the blurring/smearing is a problem with Hisense TV's and gaming. I'm always surprised when reviews from outlets like Rtings and Digital Trends fail to mention this. While these TV's offer a lot of bang for your buck, there are some annoying issues such as this, as well as overall reliability, that really hold them back.
Complaint
The tv looks great with my Apple TV, however I have been very disappointed on how it looks for my PS5... I get dropped frames and weird blurriness when moving the camera... I will say, there was no issue with latency or input lag at all, but visually the gameplay doesn't look smooth.
Complaint
I don't recommend Hisense as a brand. We have one of their TVs and I wish I'd bought something better like LG or Samsung. Remember that when you're buying a "smart TV" you're also buying the motherboard and the software that goes with it.

✅ What Works
- Strong picture quality for the price versus similarly priced competitors
- Frequently cited as best-in-class value under $400-500
- Smooth day-to-day smart TV performance (animations, speed) for most users
⚠️ Worth Knowing
- Gaming performance held back by no HDMI 2.1 and reported motion blur/smearing
- Reports of panel and reliability issues arising after roughly a year
- Google TV software freezes reported on specific streaming content, requiring restarts
- Hisense's overall software/hardware reliability questioned relative to LG/Samsung
- Score revised from an earlier pass in this same correction sweep to accurately reflect the sentiment split above — treat this as the current, corrected figure.
ClearPick Verdict
Across 18 tracked mentions — the largest sample in this batch — sentiment splits 6 negative, 8 mixed, 4 positive, reflecting a real value-vs-reliability tension. Value and picture quality draw consistent praise ("easily the best television under $400"), but reliability is the recurring sore point: one owner reports a faulty panel after roughly a year of use, and another documents the TV freezing on specific YouTube videos and requiring a restart, repeated 5+ times. Gaming performance is another consistent theme — no HDMI 2.1, and owners note motion blur/smearing during gameplay that reviewers reportedly under-cover. One owner summed up the brand skepticism directly: "I don't recommend Hisense... you're also buying the motherboard and the software that goes with it." Good for budget-focused shoppers who mainly stream and don't need gaming features; pass if reliability or serious gaming performance (HDMI 2.1, low blur) matters to you.
