LG C6 OLED

TechRadar gave it five stars for outstanding image quality, Consumer Reports scored it 90 (one point behind the S95H), and What Hi-Fi says it sets a new benchmark for step-down OLEDs. RTINGS found the same inky blacks as its top-ranked Samsung.

Hisense U6SF Pro

RTINGS called its performance surprisingly good for the price, with high contrast from the Mini LED backlight. It shows more glow around bright details than the step-up U7SG, and PCMag saw some light bloom.

Floor+scale on PCMag's 18% window HDR measurement: 50 + ((1015-766)/(3504-766))*50 = 55. TechRadar measured it about 250 nits brighter than the C5, but the TCL, Hisense and Samsung sets in this lineup all measured brighter.

Hisense U6SF Pro

Floor+scale on PCMag's 18% window HDR measurement: 50 + ((1442-766)/(3504-766))*50 = 62. PCMag called it by far the brightest TV in its price range.

All four HDMI ports carry HDMI 2.1 bandwidth, VRR runs up to 165Hz, and PCMag measured 4.6 ms input lag at 1080p/120Hz (12.8 ms at 4K/60). G-Sync and FreeSync are both supported.

Hisense U6SF Pro

PCMag measured 9.2 ms input lag at 4K/60 and 4.6 ms at 1080p/120Hz, with 144Hz VRR. Only two of the four HDMI ports carry HDMI 2.1 bandwidth, and RTINGS found its response time slow.

Hisense U6SF Pro

Hisense's Hi-View AI Engine sits a step below the Pro chip in the U8QG. Reviewers praised contrast over upscaling, and RTINGS ranks it a tier below the U7SG.

A slim OLED panel with a glossy finish. TechRadar warns of mirror-like reflections in bright rooms, and RTINGS found it handles light worse than the matte S95H.

A matte anti-reflective screen cuts glare in bright rooms, which is unusual at this price.

Hisense U6SF Pro

Best budget TV at RTINGS and at PCMag (Editors' Choice, 4.5 of 5). RTINGS chose it over the TCL QM6K in September 2026 as more widely available and better overall.

− Weaknesses
  • TechRadar saw mirror-like reflections in bright rooms, and RTINGS found it weaker than the matte S95H in well-lit spaces
  • No HDR10+, and PCMag notes only Wi-Fi 5 and no ATSC 3.0 tuner

  • 144Hz VRR with 9.2 ms input lag at 4K/60, plus Dolby Vision and HDR10+
