Our Verdict

TCL S3/S350G

Hisense A6N [A6, A65N]

The Hisense A6N is better than the TCL S350G. While the TCL has the better contrast of the two, the Hisense is brighter in HDR and SDR, with a wider color gamut, delivering a more impactful viewing experience overall. It's also the more accurate of the two TVs. The Hisense is vastly better for gamers due to its far quicker response time. Finally, it offers a wider range of resolutions to users, as the TCL is limited to a maximum of 1080p @ 60Hz.
