The Hisense A6G is a 4K HDR smart LED TV that comes in screen sizes ranging from 43in to 75in. Hisense appears to be choosing different panels for different screen sizes, with the 50-inch model reviewed here using a VA panel.

However, the smart platform employed on these models is Google’s Android TV, with Chromecast built-in, and not Hisense’s Vidaa creation. In terms of hierarchy, the A6G is one down from the A7G, which is the first of the Hisense Quantum Dot models.FOR THIRD-PARTY SMART SERVICES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE SHALL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY THIRD-PARTY SMART SERVICES THAT MAY BE ACCESSED THROUGH THE DEVICE OR APPLICATION(S), NOR SHALL WE BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR HIDDEN OR MALICIOUS CODE CONTAINED ON OR DISTRIBUTED THROUGH THE APPLICATIONS OR OUR DEVICE BY THIRD PARTIES.

This volume limitation does mean the set can’t keep escalating its sound as far as the most raucous scenes would like it to, resulting in a rather thin, swallowed effect right where you’d hope for the speakers to really be letting rip. This is hardly unusual for the TV world, though, and impacts many sets that cost way more than the 43A6GTUK does. As a result, the overall SDR picture performance is generally impressive, with images that appear well defined and colours that look natural. There’s some good upscaling and processing as well, allowing the A6G to get the best out of lower resolution content, retaining as much detail as possible and producing an artefact-free image. Press the home button on your remote controller and go into Apps or ‘View my Apps’. Within the App Store, you can then search and browse the latest apps for your TV. The Hisense A6G is a solid performer overall and is great value for money. It delivers impressively accurate performance while watching SDR content and the Dolby Vision images are precisely rendered despite the panel’s inherent weaknesses.Percentage luminance drop at 35 degree horizontal angle from the centre of the screen with 100% white output Percentage Luminance drop at 35 degree horizontal angle from the centre of the screen with 50% white output More expensive TVs hoping for a picture horror show from the 43A6GTUK should brace for disappointment. The set is actually anything but a video nasty, producing pictures that in some ways humble those of some much more expensive models. The Hisense 65A6G has poor peak brightness in HDR. It isn't bright enough to show off highlights in HDR, and without a local dimming feature, small highlights don't pop against the rest of the screen. It follows the target PQ curve fairly well for dark scenes, but there's a sharp roll-off at the peak brightness, causing a loss of fine details in bright scenes.

The Hisense A6G includes a pair of downward-firing speakers, each of which has 8W of built-in amplification. As you would expect from a modern TV, the slim chassis precludes the use of larger speakers, and the amplification is clearly limited. As a result, the audio performance is perfunctory at best, and the reality is that even a simple single-unit soundbar will deliver a higher quality sonic experience with content like TV shows, movies and games.

I measured peak HDR brightness at 300 nits using the Standard preset, within a 10 per cent measurement window. That’s no real surprise here – the screen is more HDR compatible than capable. The Hisense A6G Series has fantastic accuracy after calibration to the D65 white point. The white balance was difficult to calibrate, but it's extremely accurate. Gamma is much closer to the target, and most colors are accurate. The color temperature is still a bit cool, but it isn't very noticeable. Our engineers are fully compliant with data protection laws. If you are concerned, simply perform a factory reset on your television before it is taken away for repair. To do this simply use your remote control and go to Settings –System –About TV –Restore to Factory Default. We uploaded the latest brightness measurements and uniformity photos for the Accelerated Longevity Test.
