Exploring the Value of Budget QLED TVs: A Focus on Hisense QD6
QLED TVs are designed to emulate the look and performance of OLED models without the premium cost. Within the QLED category, there is a range of pricing. A standout mid-range option is
TCL’s QM7, which offers excellent features. However, budget-friendly QLEDs are available too, like the
Hisense QD6 QLED. Priced at just $379.99 (down from $499.99), this model matches the lowest price ever recorded for its size—65 inches—and packs many desirable features typically found in more expensive sets.
The Hisense QD6QF represents the 2025 iteration of Fire TV in the series and is similar to the
2024 Hisense QD65NF. While this is a cost-effective QLED TV, it lacks the extensive dimming zones and contrast levels found in premium models. Nevertheless, it offers impressive features typically associated with higher-end televisions.
Gamers will appreciate the high refresh rate of up to 120Hz, giving a smoother gameplay experience. It includes a Game Mode Plus to minimize input lag and enhance picture quality, alongside VRR to prevent screen tearing.
For movie buffs, the Hisense QD6 supports Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos, and HDR10+, delivering an exceptional viewing experience for the current asking price. Being a Fire TV, it allows streaming from platforms such as HBO Max and Netflix and comes with a voice remote powered by Alexa. An AI feature aims to upscale lower-resolution content to near 4K quality, though its effectiveness will need evaluation upon real-world testing. Additionally, Fire TV users can install
Kodi for limitless streaming options.
