Our TVs get a lot of use, whether you prefer to watch movies, sports, or the news. But that doesn't mean you have to spend over a thousand dollars on one. Some of the best TVs can cost you less than $500 without sacrificing quality or performance if you know where to look. In fact, one of our favorite budget TVs, the Hisense U6N, is on sale for just $498 right now on Amazon.
The U6N is one of the top budget TVs available. The 4K QLED display uses quantum dots, local dimming, and a Mini LED backlight to deliver higher contrast and a wider range of colors than most competitors in its class.
- Great contrast for the money thanks to local dimming with Mini LEDs
- Quantum dots enable wide range of vivid colors
- Performance matches many midrange TVs that cost more
- The TV's 60Hz panel isn't ideal for gamers
- Picture quality degrades a lot from an angle
- Noticeable color banding in some streaming content
Don't let the price fool you; the Hisense U6N boasts features and performance comparable to its much more expensive competitors. Our tech experts should know; they've tested plenty of TVs for their display, interface, and more. As one of the only Mini LED TVs in its price range, the Hisense U6N earned the title of best overall in our guide to the best budget TVs.
The Hisense U6N's display sets it apart from others in its price range. Its Mini LED backlight delivers vibrant, high-contrast images and a wide range of colors. The U6N also uses the Google TV OS operating system to give you access to all of the best streaming services to watch your favorite shows and movies. Plus, it comes with a voice-activated remote that makes navigation a breeze.
With hundreds of five-star ratings, Amazon shoppers also love this TV. "The TV right after the initial software setup was absolutely amazing. So bright and crisp I couldn't believe my eyes. If possible, it was brighter and more vivid than real life! The darks were also exceptionally dark, and fast motion scenes look great," said one reviewer. "This is my first set using the Google TV operating system, and so far I'm very happy with the user interface. Everything has been very intuitive."
Shoppers even said the U6N held up better than other, more expensive screens they had tried. "Wow, this is a great TV for the size, and the price is unmatched. Years ago, I spent $2,000 on a different TV, which was a bit underwhelming at the time, considering the price and lag of the menu screens…This Hisense feels like a real upgrade so far, and I'm impressed with the quality," said another reviewer. "The Dolby Atmos sound is great for being in TV and fills the room while even at a low volume."
With the current discount on Amazon, you can grab the Hisense U6N for just $498—the best price we've seen in months. Add it to your cart now while the deal lasts.
