The verdict
The U6SF Pro is an easy recommendation for shoppers who want a bright, glare-resistant Mini LED at a budget price and are comfortable with Fire TV and its ads. It is not a dark-room cinema TV, since both reviewers noted blooming or weak shadow detail, and only two of its four HDMI ports are HDMI 2.1. Reviewers say the standard U6SF drops the brighter anti-glare screen, 144Hz panel and subwoofer, so check which trim a listing is for.
The U6SF Pro is the upper trim of Hisense's 2026 U6 series, sold in 55, 65, 75, 85 and 100-inch sizes alongside a cheaper standard U6SF. It is a Mini LED TV with a native 144Hz panel, two HDMI 2.1 inputs, a 2.1-channel speaker system with a built-in subwoofer and Amazon's Fire TV software. Tom's Guide and TechRadar liked its price-to-performance, brightness and color, and criticised some blooming and vignetting.
Strengths
- Tom's Guide and TechRadar both measured about 1,265 nits at a 10% HDR window on the 65-inch, bright for a budget set and close to Hisense's 1,200-nit rating.
- Colors were accurate in Tom's Guide's test, with a Delta-E of 1.58 in Filmmaker mode.
- Glare-resistant screen that held up in bright rooms, per Tom's Guide.
- Native 144Hz panel with FreeSync Premium Pro and a measured 9.3ms of input lag.
- Built-in subwoofer gives noticeably more bass than most TV speakers, according to both reviewers.
Weak spots
- Only two of four HDMI inputs are HDMI 2.1.
- Both reviewers saw dimming-related artifacts: blooming in dark scenes in Tom's Guide's test and vignetting at the bottom edge in TechRadar's.
- TechRadar found little shadow detail, and its Alexa+ voice control is not hands-free.
- Fire TV was called clunky and ad-heavy by Tom's Guide.
- Reviewers disagree on a game menu: Tom's Guide praised the Game Bar while TechRadar found no game-specific menu.
Great for
- Budget buyers who want a bright Mini LED
- Sports and daytime viewing in bright rooms
- Casual console gaming on a tight budget
Skip if
- Dark-room movie purists
- Gamers who need four HDMI 2.1 ports
- Anyone who dislikes Fire TV's ads

HDR & color

Editor's Choice. A bright, glare-resistant 65-inch panel with accurate color, a useful built-in subwoofer and a 144Hz gaming panel. Faults were some blooming, Fire TV ads and only two HDMI 2.1 inputs.
Read the originalCalled a solid TV for the money with a rich feature list, decent sound and good-but-not-great picture. Negatives were vignetting along the bottom, little shadow detail and Alexa+ without hands-free control.

Questions
What is the difference between the Hisense U6SF and U6SF Pro?
Tom's Guide says the standard U6SF has a dimmer screen without the anti-glare coating, no 144Hz native panel and no built-in subwoofer. TechRadar adds that the Pro has doubled speaker wattage, Wi-Fi 6 and a Pro version of FreeSync Premium.
Is the Hisense U6SF Pro good for gaming?
Tom's Guide measured 9.3ms of input lag and the TV supports 4K up to 144Hz with FreeSync Premium Pro. Only two HDMI ports are HDMI 2.1, so a setup with three or more high-bandwidth consoles will need a switch.
Which smart platform does it use?
Fire TV with Alexa+. Tom's Guide called the interface clunky and ad-heavy, though app load times were decent.
