Our Verdict
TCL S535
Hisense H9G
The Hisense H9G is much better than the TCL S535. The Hisense gets much brighter, so HDR content pops the way it should. It also has much better reflection handling, a quicker response time, and a 120Hz panel. On the other hand, the TCL displays a wider color gamut, has lower input lag, and has better out-of-the-box color accuracy.
