Our Verdict
Hisense U6N
TCL Q5/Q550F QLED
The Hisense U6N is better than the TCL Q550F. The Hisense's contrast is much better due to its local dimming feature, which also lets it emphasize bright highlights in HDR in a way that the TCL just can't. It also has better image processing than the TCL, with superior SDR brightness, delivering better image quality overall. In its biggest sizes, the TCL does 1080p and 1440p gaming at 120Hz with VRR, while the Hisense can do 120Hz and VRR, but not at the same time. Still, it does have lower input lag than the TCL, with a slightly faster response time.
