Budget TVs have improved dramatically over the years, and the Hisense Class U6HF Series Fire TV is a good example of what you can get today for a “budget” price. While it won’t be the same quality as what QLED or OLED budget TVs can offer, they make up for that with a much cheaper price. Right now, the 58-inch Hisense Class U6HF Series Fire TV is $319.99 (originally $549.99), the lowest price it has been, according to price-checking tools.
The Hisense Class U6HF Series Fire TV came out in 2022 as the Fire TV version of the Hisense U6H Google TV. They are very similar, with the operating system being the main difference, but some users on Reddit say they notice a local dimming difference between the two, which shouldn’t be a big deal for most people unless you have a trained eye on these things.
Hisense says gamers can increase the refresh rate up to 240Hz from its native 60Hz, which is pretty impressive for a budget TV, but you’ll likely have to go down to 1,080p resolution to do that. The image will also look great with Dolby Vision HDR, HDR10, and HDR10+ as long as you have access to them from wherever you’re streaming your media.
Since this is a Fire TV, you can sync it with your Alexa devices to command it with your voice, but if you don’t, you won’t be able to talk to it since it doesn’t have a microphone. But, like in any Fire TV device, you can install Kodi on it to virtually stream anything you want to watch for free.
If you’re looking for a nice budget TV at a bargain, this is a great deal.
