If price is a major consideration for you, you might lean towards the Hisense A4H as it generally costs less than the Amazon 4-Series. For watching in well-lit rooms, the Amazon 4-Series performs slightly better, while the Hisense A4H has a better gray uniformity which could benefit viewing with static images like news channels. Both TVs have their limitations for sports and gaming due to their fair and poor performance in motion processing and response time, respectively. Neither TV excels in dark room performance, and both have a limited number of HDMI ports, but the Amazon has twice as many, which could be important if connecting multiple devices is necessary for you. The Amazon 4-Series supports HDR content including HLG format, which can enhance the viewing experience for compatible content. If using the TV as a monitor is a requirement, neither are great, but the Hisense A4H supports 1080p @ 60Hz @ 4:4:4, which can provide clearer text rendering. Finally, if sound quality is important, the Amazon 4-Series has slightly more powerful speakers. Overall, your decision should weigh how much you value cost savings versus these performance differences. Give Feedback

Jim Martin | May 2023
"The attraction here is that the 4-Series uses Amazon’s Fire TV interface. Picture quality is good but unexceptional. At the discounted prices, which can seemingly be had regularly, they are better value."

About Amazon
Amazon, the largest online retailer in North America, has forged partnerships with TCL and Hisense to produce white-label TVs incorporating their Fire OS software. These Amazon-branded TVs typically compete in the low-end and mid-range segments, offering compelling price points. Leveraging their strong reputation, Amazon has swiftly built brand trust in the TV market despite being relatively new to it. To enhance their popularity, these TVs integrate features from the Amazon ecosystem, including Alexa, providing users with a seamless and interconnected TV experience.
About Hisense
Hisense, a Chinese TV manufacturer, entered the US market in approximately 2011 and has since acquired TV divisions from various companies such as Toshiba, Sharp, Hitachi, and NEC. Currently ranking as the fourth largest vendor in terms of sales volume, Hisense aims to capture a wide range of TV budget segments. They offer exceptional value with TVs that often outperform their competitors at similar price points, making them a compelling choice for consumers. In the US, they use Google TV as their smart TV software which provides the largest app selection and a very modern user interface, however it is not as user friendly as the software from other vendors.
