Our Verdict

TCL R635

Hisense U6G

The Hisense U6G is a bit better than the TCL R635. The Hisense has much better black uniformity, slightly better reflection handling, and a better local dimming feature. On the other hand, the TCL has better contrast, although this isn't a very noticeable difference, and the TCL can remove judder from more sources, including 60Hz sources like a cable box.
