Our Verdict
TCL 5 Series/S555 2022 QLED
Hisense U6H
The TCL S555 is better than the Hisense U6H. The TCL gets a lot brighter, so it can better overcome glare in a bright room. The TCL also has better contrast and better black uniformity, meaning it's a better choice for a dark room. Finally, the TCL is better for gaming thanks to its much faster response time, resulting in clearer motion with less blur behind fast-moving objects.
