If you're on a tight budget and every dollar counts, the Hisense R6G could save you a bit of money compared to the TCL S455. However, the TCL S455 provides better gray uniformity and has an additional HDMI port, which may be helpful if you have multiple devices to connect. Neither set excels in gaming or bright room performance, so if these are priorities for you, you might want to consider options beyond these two models. If you're okay with slightly lesser black uniformity but prefer a slightly better reflection handling and input lag for casual gaming, the TCL could be the right choice. Keep in mind that the Hisense has Voice Commands for accessibility, which the TCL lacks, and the Hisense supports Dolby Vision, which the TCL does not, potentially offering slightly better HDR performance for compatible content.

Lee Neikirk | January 2022
"A highly affordable but reliably kitted-out 4K Roku TV that, while far from perfect, still punches above its price and delivers a great user experience. If you want to soup up movie night for a bargain, the 4-Series won’t let you down. You may never need to plug in a set-top box or streaming device."

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.
About TCL
TCL, the highly recognizable TV brand from China, has firmly established itself as the second-largest manufacturer in terms of sales volume. Renowned for striking an impressive balance between affordability, picture quality, and design, TCL TVs deliver a compelling overall package. While they have traditionally excelled in the low-end and midrange TV segments, TCL has recently made remarkable strides in the realm of high-end televisions, introducing impressive models that rival top competitors. Most TCL TVs use Roku software which is very user friendly and easy to use, but they have a few other models that use Google TV which has the largest app selection, but is not as user friendly as Roku.
