Verdict: Hisense A6 Series wins overall with stronger value and features, delivering 20% higher peak brightness than TCL S4 in RTINGS tests while matching on Google TV apps. TCL S4 remains a solid budget pick for basic use but trails in motion handling and port selection. Choose Hisense A6 for most living room setups needing versatile connectivity.
Our take: In side-by-side viewing, the Hisense A6 handles fast sports with less blur thanks to its processing tweaks, while the TCL S4 feels more basic during dark scene transitions. Setup is straightforward on both but Hisense menus load menus a touch quicker in daily use.
Winner: Hisense A6 Series
TCL S4: 6.5/10
Hisense A6 Series: 7/10
