At launch, the ULED TV will only be available in a single 50-inch screen size, but will offer some relatively premium specs including Dolby Vision HDR and HDMI 2.1 ports for just $529. In addition to the Dolby format and HDMI ports, Hisense says the U6HF will also offer a ‘Game Mode Plus’ setting that “decreases input lag, increases response time and reduces frame-rate issues on next-generation game consoles”. The bad news, however, is that the TV is limited to a native 60 Hz refresh rate and can only reach a peak brightness of around 600 nits — a significant deal less than other 4K HDR TVs that often reach or exceed the recommended 1,000 nits required for prime HDR playback. As for the original Hisense U6H that made its debut earlier this year at CES, it appears that will continue to be available, with Google TV as its smart platform, at retailers like Best Buy (opens in new tab) — though, at the time this story was published it’s retailing at a more-expensive $699 for a 55-inch screen. At a lower price with similar-if-not-identical specs, the Hisense U6HF looks like it could be a good alternative to what’s already on the market from Insignia, Toshiba and, er, Hisense, but we’ll have to put it through its paces ourselves before we can give it a final verdict and see whether it deserves a place in our list of the best TVs under $1,000.
