Hisense A6 43" Review: Small Screen, Big Features

Not everyone needs a massive TV, and Hisense's A6 Series caters perfectly to those seeking a compact option for bedrooms, kitchens, or offices. At 43 inches and under $200, it packs surprising value with Dolby Vision HDR and Google TV.

Perfect Size for Small Spaces

The 43-inch size is ideal for rooms where a larger TV would be overwhelming. At typical bedroom viewing distances of 6-8 feet, the 4K resolution provides a sharp, detailed image. The slim bezels help maximize the screen area while keeping the overall footprint compact.

Dolby Vision HDR

Surprisingly for a budget TV, the A6 includes Dolby Vision HDR support. While the panel's limited brightness means HDR impact is modest, it's still better than basic HDR10 alone. Netflix and Disney+ content that supports Dolby Vision looks noticeably better than SDR versions.

Google TV Features

Like its larger siblings, the A6 runs Google TV. You get all the streaming apps, Google Assistant voice control, and Chromecast built-in. The Game Mode provides acceptable input lag for casual gaming, though serious gamers should look elsewhere.

Final Verdict

The Hisense A6 43" is an excellent choice for small spaces. The combination of 4K resolution, Dolby Vision, and Google TV at under $200 makes it the compact budget TV to beat. Perfect for bedrooms, kitchens, or as a secondary display.
