For watching movies or series in darker rooms, neither TV is exceptional, but for casually watching in well-lit rooms, the Hisense R6G offers marginally better performance. If you're on a tight budget, the R6G also tends to be slightly less expensive. Gamers might prefer the Amazon 4-Series for its very good response time; however, it's important to note that both TVs have limitations for gaming due to poor overall gaming performance. For sports fans, the Hisense R6G offers a fair experience compared to the Amazon 4-Series, which is rated poorly. In terms of smart features, if having voice command capability is important to you, the Hisense R6G could be the better option. Keep in mind that both TVs might not provide the best experience for critical viewers due to their general picture quality limitations. Give Feedback

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.
